Plan your Daihatsu repair budget

These planning estimates apply to the listed work. Parts, engine specification, access and vehicle condition affect the final price. VAT treatment is confirmed in your written quote. Check the total payable including VAT before approval.

Initial computer diagnosis

AED 150 to 300

Scan, warning review and focused basic checks. Extended wiring or mechanical tests require a separate agreement.

Minor engine service

AED 350 to 650

Specified engine oil, oil filter, labor, level and condition checks, plus a supported reset. Other filters, plugs and fault repairs are separate.

Major scheduled service

AED 700 to 1,300

Oil service with the filters, plugs and checks due for your model. Your quote lists the selected items. Timing work is not automatically included.

Front brake pads

AED 250 to 550 per axle

Compatible pad set, fitting and brake-condition checks. Discs, calipers, drums and hydraulic repairs are extra.

AC diagnosis and routine service

AED 250 to 600

Performance, airflow and pressure checks, plus only the routine work agreed in the quote. Refrigerant work is conditional on the findings; leak and component repairs are extra.

Low-voltage battery replacement

AED 350 to 750

Correct-specification battery and installation. Charging faults, electrical-drain testing and hybrid traction batteries are excluded.

A cooling-system leak, clutch fault or internal engine or transmission problem needs a separate repair estimate. Ask which component failed, which parts are proposed and whether removal, fluids, testing and setup are included. A low diagnostic fee is not a complete repair price.

Ask for the price of the work you need

Start with your model and symptom. We’ll explain the appropriate first check and quote any paid diagnosis before it starts.

Which problem is interrupting your driving?

Temperature rises or coolant disappears

Stop safely and switch off the engine if it overheats. Do not open the hot cooling system or keep driving to test it. Once safe, leak, fan and circulation checks help separate an external fault from engine damage.

The engine shakes or loses power

Ignition, fuel delivery, air leaks and mechanical condition can produce similar symptoms. A confirmed coil or connection repair is a different job from internal engine work. We explain which checks support the recommendation.

Drive is delayed or the clutch slips

Mounts, linkage, driveshafts, clutch operation and the transmission can each affect how drive feels. The fitted transmission and symptom determine the tests. A fluid change does not guarantee a cure for internal wear.

Braking or steering feels unsafe

Stop using the vehicle if control is uncertain. We inspect the relevant brakes, tires, joints or steering components before advising repairs. Do not try to solve a loose or damaged component with alignment alone.

Three typical job estimates for Daihatsu

Use these scenarios to compare inclusions. They are not records of completed customer jobs or fixed offers. The final quote confirms parts, VAT, extra work and repair-specific warranty terms.

2021 Rocky scheduled service

Typical job estimate
AED 1,050
  • Specified engine oil and oil filter
  • Air and cabin filters for this scenario
  • Installation labor and fluid/safety checks

Assumes routine access. Spark plugs are added only if due and included in the written quote. Fault diagnosis, timing work and repairs are excluded.

2018 Terios front brake pads

Typical job estimate
AED 250 to 550
  • Compatible front pad set
  • Installation and cleaning
  • Disc and caliper condition checks
  • Final brake check

Assumes serviceable discs and calipers. Disc replacement and hydraulic repairs are excluded. The applicable pad specification determines the price within the range.

2020 Gran Max AC service

Typical job estimate
AED 520
  • Cooling-performance assessment
  • Pressure and airflow checks
  • Routine AC work agreed after assessment
  • Final vent-temperature check

Refrigerant service is included only when appropriate and stated in the quote. Leaks, compressor repairs and other failed components are extra.

A Rocky and a working Gran Max need different checks

Model names span different generations and markets. We match the service to the fitted engine and transmission, then consider how the vehicle is used. You do not need to identify those components before contacting us.

A family car used for short trips may need battery and service-history checks. A delivery van brings different cooling, brake, clutch and load concerns. Neither use pattern proves a part needs replacement without inspection.

If your Rocky is a hybrid, mention that when booking. Routine mechanical work and low-voltage testing are separate from charging or high-voltage repairs, which require capability confirmation.

  • RockyEngine, transmission and market specification change the service items and parts.
  • TeriosCooling history, suspension wear and driveline concerns help prioritize checks.
  • Gran MaxBody type, payload, repeated stops and AC use matter when planning downtime.
  • Xenia and passenger MPVsPassenger load, rear suspension and cabin cooling may need particular attention.
  • Older or imported modelsFor Sirion, Materia, Copen and other variants, ask about data and parts availability before booking specialist work.

Keep a delivery van ready for its next route

Commercial-vehicle checks depend on load, condition and daily use.

Plan maintenance around actual use

Frequent stops, idling and short journeys belong in the service discussion. Use the applicable manufacturer schedule, including any relevant severe-use provisions, instead of choosing an arbitrary shortened interval.

Keep loading within the vehicle limits

Sagging suspension, tire wear or clutch slip should be checked against the vehicle’s condition and rated load. New springs or tires cannot make overloading safe.

Agree when the van is needed back

Tell us your next working requirement. We can discuss inspection and parts timing before dismantling, but completion depends on the fault and available parts. Essential safety repairs cannot be deferred simply to keep a delivery route running.

Choose the service that matches the fault

Engine and cooling

Find an external leak or running fault before considering internal repairs. Compression or further access may be needed when damage is suspected.

Review engine repair options

Gearbox and clutch

A service, targeted component repair, rebuild and replacement are different choices. Compare the confirmed fault and installed cost.

See transmission repair

Brakes and suspension

We check wear and operation before deciding on pads alone, pads with discs or related hardware. Suspension repairs come before final alignment when parts are loose or damaged.

See brake repair details

AC and cabin airflow

Cooling that improves at road speed may need fan or airflow checks. Repeated refrigerant loss needs a leak investigation.

Explore AC diagnosis and repair

Spend on the confirmed fault

Repair what is still serviceable

An accessible hose, electrical connection or worn mount may be replaceable on its own. That can avoid the cost of an unnecessary larger assembly when surrounding parts remain sound.

Compare rebuilding with replacement

For internal engine or gearbox damage, compare the available rebuild, used replacement or new assembly by condition, complete fitted cost and written terms. Approve the inspection stage before paying for parts.

Check the result

A post-repair leak check, functional test or safe road test should address the original complaint. At collection, ask what was fixed, what remains to monitor and what is recorded on the invoice.

Parts that fit, with costs you understand

Part compatibility matters for braking, suspension and everyday maintenance.

Original-equipment, suitable aftermarket, remanufactured and used parts have different costs and limitations. We match the required part before ordering. For imports, the vehicle identification number (VIN), fitted reference and source market may be needed.

Your estimate should list parts, labor, consumables, taxes and any setup. Ask whether the part is available locally or needs ordering, and what happens if further damage is found after removal.

Want to supply your own part? Ask first so compatibility, returns, fitting responsibility and warranty terms are clear. Similar appearance does not establish fitment.

Keep the invoice and the written terms for the particular repair. We do not promise manufacturer authorization, universal parts availability or the same warranty for every job.

Daihatsu care around your day

An easier workshop visit

Start with your model and the problem. Whether it’s your everyday car or a working van, we’ll explain the first check and help you arrange a suitable visit to Al Quoz 4.

Visit the workshop

Bring your Daihatsu in

Ask for an appointment and the entrance pin before traveling. The free initial review helps identify the next step.

Paid testing and repairs need your approval first.

Arrange collection

Keep your day moving

Free Dubai pickup and delivery is available for approved jobs by arrangement. Share the location and whether the vehicle can move safely.

Suitable transport and availability are confirmed before collection.

Ask about a mobile check

Discuss an on-site visit

If bringing the car or van in is difficult, ask whether a mobile assessment suits the problem.

Mobile suitability, availability and any fee are confirmed separately.

Your model and symptom are enough

We’ll request mileage, photos or service history if needed. Review the repair quote before work, then keep the findings, invoice and applicable written warranty terms.

Call before arranging transport if the vehicle is unsafe. Stop safely and switch off for overheating or an oil-pressure stop warning. Do not drive with fuel leakage or unsafe steering or braking. For smoke or fire, move away and contact emergency services.

Questions about Daihatsu servicing and repairs

How much is a Daihatsu minor service?

The planning estimate is AED 350 to 650 for specified engine oil, oil filter, labor and basic checks. Other service items and fault repairs are separate. Confirm the listed inclusions and total payable including VAT in your quote.

What does the free inspection include?

It covers a basic workshop condition and symptom review. Computer diagnosis is estimated at AED 150 to 300. Extended tests, dismantling and mobile visits are separate and need agreement.

Can you get parts for an imported Daihatsu?

We check the exact application and supplier availability before ordering. Older or unusual models may need additional identification or imported parts. We confirm the expected timing rather than promise immediate stock.

Can I drive my Daihatsu if it overheats?

No. Stop safely and switch off the engine. Do not open a hot cooling system or continue driving to see whether the temperature falls. Arrange suitable recovery.

Why is the AC weak when my Gran Max is idling?

Condenser airflow, fan operation, refrigerant condition, compressor control and engine temperature may be involved. Testing separates those causes before a recharge or component replacement is recommended.

Does a delivery van need extra maintenance?

Use the schedule for the actual vehicle and its operating conditions. Repeated stops, idling and load can affect maintenance needs, but parts should not be replaced only because the van is used commercially.

Can you service a hybrid Rocky?

Tell us the model, market and concern first. Mechanical service and low-voltage checks differ from high-voltage work. Specialist battery or electrical repairs require procedure and capability confirmation before acceptance.

What should I send to arrange a visit?

Start with the model and symptom or service required. We can request the year, mileage, VIN, photos or history later if needed. Ask about appointment availability and pickup arrangements.
