Hongqi Repair in Dubai, H5 to E-HS9

Mechanics in Al Quoz is an independent Hongqi workshop for the H5, HS5, HS7, H9 and E-HS9, covering servicing, gearbox, AC, brakes, suspension and electrics. You get a free inspection and a written quote first. Warranty, recall and high voltage battery work stays with Altawkilat, the official distributor.

Altawkilat is the exclusive Hongqi distributor in the UAE, appointed in February 2023. Its website lists a showroom and service centre in Abu Dhabi, and in 2024 Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah were served by a reseller. Warranty repairs, recalls and software updates should go there first.

A Hongqi 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. The exact price depends on the model and engine, so we quote it in writing.

Hongqi UAE lists 7 years with unlimited kilometres for its petrol models. The E-HS9 has 5 years or 150,000 km, and its battery 8 years or 160,000 km. Wear parts are covered for only 6 months or 10,000 km. Check your booklet, because imported or non GCC spec cars may differ.

No. High voltage battery, charging, drive motor and power electronics work on the E-HS9 goes to Altawkilat, where the battery has 8 years or 160,000 km of cover. We handle the rest of the car: brakes, tyres, alignment, air suspension after warranty, AC checks and the 12V battery.

A low corner on an E-HS9 usually points to an air spring leak or a tired suspension compressor. Norwegian owners reported failures in summer heat around 30°C in 2025. If the car is under cover, take it to Altawkilat. Otherwise we test springs, lines and the compressor.

It depends on the model and year. The H9 2.0T and the 2021 model year HS7 2.0T use a 7 speed dual clutch. The HS5 since 2023, HS3, H6 and newer HS7 use an Aisin 8 speed automatic, and the H5 a 6 speed. We confirm by VIN.

Hold the H9 on the brake rather than creeping in queues, avoid holding it on a slope with the throttle, and report any judder early. Stop start heat is what wears dual clutches. A code read and adaptation check costs far less than clutch work, so book it early.

A steady amber engine light means the engine computer has stored a fault, often a sensor, misfire or 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.

Servicing, brakes, batteries and AC checks are usually short visits. Gearbox, engine and electrical faults need diagnosis first, and some Hongqi parts are ordered in, so lead time matters more than labour. We give you the expected time and parts lead time in writing with the quote.

Usually yes, if the body is sound and the repair costs less than the value lost selling it faulty. A new H5 starts from about AED 81,900 and an HS5 from about AED 119,900. For older H7 models we confirm parts and price in writing before any work.

Yes. We check warranty status and origin, test the gearbox from cold, check E-HS9 ride height, test cooling and AC, and inspect the underbody, then give a written report. On 14 October 2026, dubizzle Dubai listed 24 used Hongqi cars, half of them E-HS9.
