Bud Car Wash is at Shop #7, 44, 22nd Street, Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 2. About 15 minutes from Oud Metha via Ras Al Khor Road and Oud Metha Road in normal traffic. The site is open 24 hours, so you can bring the car in outside working hours.
Why Oud Metha Drivers Come Here For Car Steering Change
Oud Metha is an older central district of hospitals, schools and clubs, where a lot of parking is on-street rather than in covered bays. Cars there sit exposed to dust all day and to traffic film from constant slow-moving traffic, which builds a dull grey layer that ordinary rinsing does not lift.
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 Oud Metha page.

- Right hand drive to left hand drive conversion
- Steering rack, column and pump replacement

Before You Set Out From Oud Metha
Timing your run from Oud Metha
Central and steady rather than fast. From Oud Metha the evening peak on Oud Metha Road is the one to avoid; late evening is easy in both directions.
Car Steering Change in Oud Metha: Common Questions
How long will my car be with you, coming from Oud Metha?
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 Oud Metha is about 15 minutes in normal traffic.
What does car steering change cost coming from Oud Metha?
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 Oud Metha?
No. The drive from Oud Metha is about 15 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.
