Repair your car at authorised garages

Those motorists that cause accidents and damage property must account for their actions. This is why it is important that cars that are taken to garages for repairs have the correct authorisation from the police, when necessary. The documentation shows that the accident has been reported and dealt with in the correct manner. In some cases, owners may try to undertake unauthorised repairs to avoid taking responsibility for accidents.

The Abu Dhabi traffic police have — correctly — been taking action against car repair shops that have been fixing vehicles without the proper permits. Also, breakdowns are often the cause of tragic accidents. Those that repair and maintain vehicles have the lives of drivers and their families in their hands.

At all times, they must be honest and professional. Some of those garages that are willing to undertake unauthorised repairs might be guilty of shoddy workmanship, putting the lives of drivers and their passengers at risk.
