Toyota engine troubles in Abu Dhabi – where do I go for honest work?
Zitat von xanderopie am 8. September 2026, 10:46 UhrI've owned my 2014 Fortuner for about six years now and honestly it's been bulletproof until recently, but over the last couple of months I've noticed it's been burning through oil way faster than usual and there's a faint ticking noise coming from the engine bay that wasn't there before. I'm not a mechanic but I've been around cars long enough to know that's probably not a good sign, and I'm worried it could be something serious like piston rings or valve seals starting to go. The thing is, I've had such mixed experiences with garages here that I'm genuinely anxious about taking it anywhere. Some places seem great at first but then you find out they cut corners or use cheap parts, others just want to do a full rebuild when a simpler fix would work. What I really need is reliable Toyota engine repair and maintenance in Abu Dhabi from people who actually understand these 1GR-FE engines and won't try to scare me into unnecessary work. Has anyone here had engine work done on their Toyota that they were genuinely happy with? I don't mind paying properly for good work, I just want honesty and competence.
