15000, 24000, and 40000 – What do the following numbers have in common? These are all amounts people have been asked to pay for their car repairs in Qatar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Have you ever been walloped with an outrageous car repair bill? If so, you’re not alone!<\/p>\n

Getting your car serviced in Qatar can be an ordeal. Bringing your vehicle to one of the major service centers means you might be hit with thousands of riyals in repairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Know Before You Go<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be nice to know the exact digital error codes and what they mean? There is one thing you can do before you hand your car to a mechanic to inform yourself as to what is wrong with your car.<\/p>\n

SAVE big on your car repair bill. Get a quick, easy and convenient Car Diagnostics Report BEFORE you go to a service center. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Spark Digital Garage<\/a> will send a diagnostics technician to your location to read your car’s hidden computer codes<\/strong>. These are the exact same codes service centers will read to figure out what is going on with your car. This diagnostic report will quickly tell you exactly what the car’s computer systems are saying. Empower yourself with the same knowledge the mechanics have so they can’t dupe you into additional yet unnecessary services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will just try to cheat you if you don\u2019t know about the basics\u201d \u00a0–Mohammed<\/em><\/p>\n

These diagnostics reports work with major car brands from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Toyota to Lexus, Audi, and Porsche.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply schedule<\/a> a diagnostic technician to come to your location. The Diagnostics Check will analyze the following systems in your car:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Engine and Powertrain<\/li>\n
  2. ABS and Traction Control<\/li>\n
  3. Air Conditioning<\/li>\n
  4. Airbag and Safety Systems<\/li>\n
  5. Anti-Theft Alarm System<\/li>\n
  6. Battery Management<\/li>\n
  7. Chassis Electronics<\/li>\n
  8. Comfort Systems<\/li>\n
  9. Cruise Control and Driver Aids<\/li>\n
  10. Immobilizer System<\/li>\n
  11. Instrument Cluster<\/li>\n
  12. Light Systems<\/li>\n
  13. Multimedia and Navigation<\/li>\n
  14. Parking Assist Systems<\/li>\n
  15. Seat Electronics<\/li>\n
  16. Transmission<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How long does it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You will have your customized car diagnostics report prepared for you on the spot. The complete diagnostic check typically takes 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

    How much does it cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The first 15 people who sign-up<\/a> and mention offer code HelloQatar<\/em> will get a 150 QAR discount off the regular price of 499 QAR (449 – 150 discount = 299). This includes a comprehensive diagnostic with a full scan of the car’s computer codes.<\/p>\n

    With the knowledge from the diagnostic report in-hand you can tell the service center exactly what you want fixed and nothing else, saving you potentially thousands in allegedly unnecessary repairs and wasted time. Customers save thousands on repair bills when they have this information.<\/p>\n

    \u201cMy Mercedes was running very rough. I was afraid to take it to Mercedes because it would cost a fortune. So I ordered a diagnostic report. \u00a0It said there was a misfire problem in cylinder 1. I was able to get a new spark plug wire for that specific cylinder and fixed it.\u201d \u00a0–CJ<\/em><\/p>\n

    What experience have you had with the car dealership service centre\u2019s in Qatar? Do you find the repairs to be too expensive? Are you interested in knowing what information your car’s computer is reporting out?<\/p>\n
