Why Al Awir Drivers Come Here For Car Steering Change
Al Awir is working territory. The Al Aweer Auto Market and the Central Fruit and Vegetable Market both sit here, which means heavy commercial traffic, unpaved lots and a lot of open ground throwing up dust. Two very different jobs come out of this area: work vehicles and market trucks that need grime shifted from the underbody and engine bay, and dealer stock that needs to photograph and present well before it sells.
Three jobs sit under one name. A conversion moves the driving position from one side to the other. A replacement puts right a rack, column or pump that has failed. A wheel job changes or retrims the part you actually hold. They differ in price by an order of magnitude, so we look at the car before we quote rather than guessing over the phone.
More on what this area does to vehicles is on our Al Awir page.

- Right hand drive to left hand drive conversion

Before You Set Out From Al Awir
Timing your run from Al Awir
Al Awir Road is busiest with commercial traffic in the early morning, when the fruit and vegetable market is at its peak. If you are bringing a work vehicle, late evening or overnight avoids that entirely and is when most trade customers come to us.
Car Steering Change in Al Awir: Common Questions
How long will my car be with you, coming from Al Awir?
It depends which of the three jobs you need and on the vehicle. A wheel is an afternoon. A rack is longer. A conversion is a rebuild. We confirm the time along with the price before anything starts. The drive from Al Awir is about 12 minutes in normal traffic.
What does car steering change cost coming from Al Awir?
Quoted on your vehicle before any work starts. A leaking rack can be a seal, a hose or the rack itself, and those are three different bills, so we check first and price the job you actually need.
Can I register a converted car in Dubai?
No. The RTA does not register right hand drive vehicles, and the halt covers cars with shifted steering systems. We do conversions for export, for cars registered in another country, for classics on brown plates, and for fleet and off road vehicles that never carry a road registration. If yours is an ordinary Dubai road car, we will tell you before you spend anything.
My steering is heavy and whines. Is that the rack?
It might be the rack, the pump, a hose or a seal. It might also be a tie rod end, which feels similar from the driver seat and costs far less to put right. That is why we check the car before quoting rather than selling you the most expensive answer.
Can you fit a wheel or a rack I bought myself?
Yes. We fit parts we supply and parts you bring, and we fit new, reconditioned and used racks. Send the make, model and year first, and a photo for a wheel, because a wheel from a different trim level often does not have the wiring to match.
Do I need an appointment from Al Awir?
No. The drive from Al Awir is about 12 minutes in normal traffic. The site is open 24 hours, so you can drop the car off at a time that suits you and we will quote it before any work begins.
