Why Al Garhoud Drivers Come Here For Car Steering Change
Al Garhoud sits between the creek and the airport, so it gets humidity off the water plus constant hotel and airport traffic. Vehicles here do a lot of short runs with the air conditioning on maximum, which is exactly the pattern that leaves damp, stale cabins needing interior work rather than just a wash.
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 Garhoud page.

- Right hand drive to left hand drive conversion

Before You Set Out From Al Garhoud
Timing your run from Al Garhoud
Al Garhoud Bridge is the constraint, not the distance. Peak crossings are 7:30 to 9:30am and 5:30 to 7:30pm. Outside those it is a short run, and after 10pm it is nothing.
Car Steering Change in Al Garhoud: Common Questions
How long will my car be with you, coming from Al Garhoud?
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 Garhoud is about 12 minutes in normal traffic.
What does car steering change cost coming from Al Garhoud?
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 Garhoud?
No. The drive from Al Garhoud 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.
