    Why does my Mini Cooper AC feel weak only in afternoon heat?

    I've been a bit confused about something happening with my Mini Cooper lately and wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with it. In the mornings or during cooler parts of the day, the AC works completely fine and cools the car quite quickly. But in the afternoon when the sun is really strong...

    How do I find a garage that specializes in my car brand?

    I drive a 2013 BMW 528i and I've learned the hard way that not every garage knows how to work on these cars properly. Last year I took it to a general shop for an oil change and they used the wrong type of oil. I didn't know until my friend who knows BMWs told me that my car needs a specific...

    Have you ever checked a business listing before choosing a garage?

    I'll be honest, for the past ten years I've just been taking my car to whatever garage was closest to my house or office. I never really did any research before. Sometimes the work was good, other times I felt like I was overpaid or the problem wasn't really fixed. Last week my check engine...

    what's your trick for keeping things secure on the road?

    So I had a really frustrating week at my little electronics repair shop in Deira. I ordered a batch of screens and small components from a supplier in Ajman, and when the shipment arrived, three of the screens had hairline cracks even though the outer box looked totally fine. I complained to the...

    Why does my car battery keep losing charge even when I barely use any electronics?

    I spent the better part of last month trying to figure out why my car battery kept weak feeling in the mornings even though I wasn't doing anything obviously wrong. I do not leave the lights on, I do not sit in the car with the engine off running the air conditioning, and I do not have any...

    Does anyone actually read the warranty paper before buying or just me after something breaks?

    I'll be honest, I never used to care about battery. I'd walk into a shop, ask for whatever fits my car, pay, and leave. Didn't even look at the papers they handed me. That changed last month when my battery died after only nine months. I went back to the same shop and the guy started asking me...

    My Peugeot 208 makes a clunking noise when I turn the steering wheel

    I need some help because a noise in my car is getting worse and I am worried. I have a 2016 Peugeot 208 that I use to drive around Abu Dhabi. For the past few weeks, I have heard a clunking noise when I turn the steering wheel, especially when I am parking or making a sharp turn. The noise...

    I test my battery myself with a multimeter is that enough or do I need professional testing?

    I'm trying to save money and learn more about my car at the same time. I have a 2016 Toyota Camry and I bought a multimeter from the hardware store for about 40 dirhams. Every few months, I check my battery voltage with the car off. It usually reads around 12.4 to 12.6 volts. I also checked the...

    Does charging my phone in the car really drain the battery when engine is off?

    I have a quick question about something I do all the time and I'm wondering if I'm slowly killing my car battery without realizing it. I have a 2015 Toyota Camry and I often sit in my car during lunch breaks or while waiting to pick up my kids. I usually plug my phone into the USB port to charge...

    My car battery dies every time it rains and I don't understand why

    Okay this is a really strange problem and I'm hoping someone has experienced something similar because I'm completely confused. I have a 2013 Chevrolet Spark that I use for getting around Sharjah. For the past year, I've noticed a very clear pattern – every time we get rain, which isn't often I...

    Driver mentioned our loading method is damaging stock took me a while to believe him but he was right

    One of our delivery drivers raised concerns about how we were loading the van about three months ago and I'll be honest my first reaction was to assume he was exaggerating because we'd been doing it the same way for two years without any obvious problems, but then I actually rode along on a...

    Trying to build a safety culture from scratch in a place that's never really had one

    I joined a mid-sized manufacturing company here about four months ago as their first dedicated safety officer and what I walked into was a team of truly hardworking people who had just never been given any real structure around safety, not because anyone was negligent but because the company...

    Trying to make our deliveries greener any tips?

    Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how our small logistics team in Ajman can cut down on our carbon footprint because it feels wrong to keep running trucks the way we always have. We're not a huge company, so big investments in electric vehicles are out of reach for now, but I read some...

    Anyone else dealing with damaged items after delivery?

    Lately I've been getting a few complaints from customers about items arriving slightly damaged, and it's honestly surprising because everything looked fine when it left my side. I'm starting to think the issue is happening during transit, maybe rough handling or packaging not being strong...

    Heat in Ajman is destroying our storage containers faster than expected — anyone else dealing with this?

    I don't think I fully appreciate how brutal the summer conditions here would be on our storage equipment when we first set everything up and honestly it's become a real problem. We're seeing containers warping, lids that no longer seal properly, structural weakening on crates that are barely...
