German Cars
- Following useful information has been shared by a reader:If you own a VW or any other german, the workshop below is the best i found in riyadh for repairs of any sort. It is the best alternative choice for people like me who find german authorized repair centres very expensive, though the quality of work there remains undefeated. This auto-repair is owned and dominated by high skilled Lebanese personals. They offer excellent output at cheaper prices than the original wakala. they even have their own paint producing machine. I repaired my 2011 VW Jetta there multiple times and the average cost was around 18,000 SR vastly covered by my insurance provider.
Note: They dont import parts, so the soul source of purchasing them remains the official dealership. However, they provide their own paint that is as authentic as provided by the dealership. Personally, i was satisfied by their work and did not encounter any shortcoming on their behalf. Furthermore, by repairing outside dealership, you lose warranty of the only the parts which you repaired outside the wakala and unless and until you are performing the regular 15,000 km oil change in wakala your warranty retains.
It is located near to exit 18 along with many other workshops. I saw Audi W12, BMW X6 and 7 series getting repaired there once.
