GAC Repair in Dubai, GS8 to Emzoom

Mechanics in Al Quoz is an independent GAC workshop for the GS8, GS3 Emzoom, Emkoo, Empow, GN6, GN8 and M8, covering servicing, dual clutch and 8 speed gearbox faults, AC, brakes and electrics. You get a free inspection and a written quote first. Warranty and recall work stays with Gargash Motors.

Gargash Motors is the exclusive GAC distributor in the UAE. GAC arrived in Dubai through Gargash in 2018 with a showroom in Deira, and in 2026 Gargash opened its largest GAC showroom in Dubai. Recalls, software updates and warranty repairs should go there first.

A GAC service in Dubai costs roughly AED 400 to 900 for an interim service and AED 1,000 to 1,200 for a full service, as a guide, based on published Dubai figures for any car. Your exact price depends on the model and engine, so we quote it in writing.

It depends on the model. The 1.5T GS3 Emzoom, Emkoo and Empow use a 7 speed wet dual clutch. The 1.5T GN6 and GN8 use a 6 speed automatic, and the 2.0T GS8 and M8 use an 8 speed automatic. We confirm your exact gearbox by VIN.

Low speed jerks on an Emzoom usually come from the 7 speed wet dual clutch engaging roughly, which a 2026 road test also reported. Stop start traffic heats the clutches. We read the gearbox codes, check clutch adaptation and software, and road test before quoting any parts.

Yes, a manufacturer recall. In April 2025 about 16,944 GS8s were recalled because engine vibration could loosen the high pressure fuel line and cause a leak. UAE campaigns can differ, so ask Gargash to check your VIN. We check recall status before any fuel or engine work.

Many new GAC models in the UAE are advertised with an agency warranty of 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first, and some terms run longer. The exact cover depends on the model and year, so check your warranty booklet or ask Gargash Motors before paying for repairs.

It depends on the job and on parts. Servicing, brakes, batteries and AC checks are usually short visits, while gearbox, engine and electrical faults need diagnosis first. We give you the expected time in writing with the quote, including any parts lead time for older GAC models.

Usually yes, if the body is sound and the repair costs less than the value you lose selling it faulty. A new GS8 starts from about AED 148,900, so fixing a used one often makes sense. For older GS4, GA6 or GA8 models we confirm parts and price in writing first.

Yes. We test the dual clutch or automatic from cold, scan every module, check cooling, AC, the floor for damp and the underbody, and check the VIN for open recalls. You get a written report before you pay. On 14 October 2026, dubizzle Dubai listed 156 used GAC cars.

A steady amber engine light means the engine computer has stored a fault, often a misfire, a sensor or a boost leak on the turbo engine. If it flashes, you smell fuel or the car loses power, stop and call us. Otherwise book this week, and we read the codes first.

Hold the car on the brake rather than creeping in queues, avoid holding it on a slope with the throttle, and report any judder early. The wet clutches need the correct fluid at the interval in your booklet. A code read and adaptation check costs far less than clutch work.
