Autofit, Al Quoz
hello - does anyone know if Autofit in Al Quoz are any good? Anyone used them?
Zurich sent my car to some terrible workshop in Rashidya and I complained, so are now suggesting Autofit. |

"a rather large hole that i could not avoid".......mate....cmon! ;) I was on sabikah, doing about 110-120k following a car who was kicking up a lot of dust. I moved 2 meters to his left to get clearer vision. Just as I did so, I saw two perfectly square dug holes about 1.5ft sq. and 2ft deep. I was going too fast to swerve and so had to eat one of them. I finished the trip but noticed that the car was sitting about 4 inches lower at the front vs. the back (and otherside). Front shock pretty bent up. |

Sorry to hear that Millie. Was the FJ on stock or aftermarket shocks ? Got it in my head you had a SWB patrol for scudding in the sand ?

<but the insurance are fixing it? |
Re: Autofit, Al Quoz
How do you rate the FJ ?
We are in car hunting mode right now. From a tech perspective I was set on an Xterra with the off road package but we just can't fit all the family camping stuff in and on it so looks like another F150 with a 1,5 cab. Didn't expect that outcome. |

Didn't expect that outcome. I like the FJ for camping. If you are feeling lazy, its big enough to sleep in the damn thing too. The Xterra is nice. Cheap as chips these days, but long wheel base (like your F150). The FJ is a good middle ground between LWB and SWB. |
Re: Autofit, Al Quoz
Did look at the FJ on line and not an unreasonable price for mid range or extreme. When we go camping we end up with a shed load of stuff to take, more like glamping. I am not a fan of jeeps but even looked at wrangler unlimited with the mopar lift kit on they had in SZR at 135k however they had sold them all. What to do ? Keep coming back to a 1.5 door F150 with the 6.2. Hope HSBC are in a happy mood

Of course, all that has now changed and it's ****ed. crappy Garage can't source the parts (just like I said they would not be able to) |
Re: Autofit, Al Quoz
Wow they are 150k new now. That was a major bargain. Have steered away from used for fear of buying one driven by a local !
Out of interest how did you send the patrol to heaven ? |

Re: Autofit, Al Quoz
Are you not on the ranches anymore then ?
Rent is up in June but with price increase it's cheaper to take a big place in umm sequim or barsha over looking the park. Nothing ever stays static in Dubai |
Re: Autofit, Al Quoz
Will have a nosy in Toyota this weekend. Did you just come out and offer 104 for a laugh or did they propose it ?
