Car care in Dubai is no longer just about fixing problems; it’s about preventing them.
More drivers are embracing car detailing and other preventive services as a way to protect their vehicles before damage occurs. This shift reflects a growing sense of responsibility, not just toward their cars, but toward safety and the environment. For many, keeping a car in top shape is now part of their lifestyle, a sign of pride, discipline, and long-term thinking.
In the local climate, where temperatures regularly exceed 45°C in summer, failure to perform regular maintenance can quickly lead to engine overheating, evaporation of working fluids, and failure of key systems.
Prevention is becoming an essential tool for extending the life of a car. The cooling systems are running at their limit, and the slightest malfunction of the radiator or thermostat can lead to overheating. Therefore, monitoring the antifreeze level and flushing the radiator is not an option, but a necessity.
The same applies to engine oil and transmission fluids, which evaporate faster under the influence of heat. At the same time, the level of lubrication decreases, wear increases, and therefore the likelihood of breakage. Add to this the high load on the air conditioner, which in these conditions becomes not only a source of comfort, but also an element of safety. Regular checking of the compressor, filters and refrigerant level are mandatory measures.
An important change has been the massive emergence of eco-friendly service stations. Instead of aggressive car chemicals, biodegradable detergents, non-toxic degreasers and vegetable lubricants are now increasingly being used. They reduce water and air pollution, treat the surface of the machine more carefully and do not harm the health of personnel. Special attention is paid to the recycling of hazardous waste: used oil is sent for recycling, tires become playground materials, and batteries are disposed of in compliance with regulations.
In parallel, the practice of using refurbished components is gaining momentum. Despite a common misconception, such spare parts are not inferior to new ones in quality; at the same time, they are cheaper and many times more environmentally friendly because their production does not require a new cycle of extraction and processing of raw materials. This is a direct contribution to a circular economy and reasonable consumption.
Even in car paint repair, there’s a move toward eco-friendly solutions. Today, many service centres use water-based formulations instead of solvent-heavy paints, helping reduce harmful emissions. Advanced air filtration systems and precise spray techniques are also becoming standard. These upgrades not only make the workspace safer but also ensure high-quality finishes without compromising on performance or durability.
The shift from reactive to preventive maintenance reflects broader changes: mindful driving, concern for the environment, and attention to detail.
Drivers are increasingly wondering what their car is washed with, where the old parts go, what is included in the liquid in the tank? The answers to these questions shape new behavior and a new car culture.
Thus, prevention is not just about care, it is a principle. It reduces wear, minimizes breakdowns, prolongs the life of the car and reflects a mature approach to the operation of machinery. The new standard of service is born not in advertising, but in the real habits of drivers, and it has already become a part of the lives of those who choose not just style, but safety.
he brings a blazing critical intelligence to bear as well as novelistic skills in assembling a great life of a great writer. I love this book.
