So my FJ has reached 95K. Always done service at Al Futtaim but this year money is a little bit tighter than the last 5 so I've got to decide. Dynatrade for servicing the FJ or continue my contract with Al Futtaim?
Dynatrade is much cheaper 3,500 AED for 55K service package.
Al Futtaim 4,900 AED for 30K service package.
Problem is Dynatrade is way out in Mafraq Abu Dhabi area (farish) :@
What about ADNOC / Bosch shops??
All recommendations welcome. Especially other shops that do good service in Abu Dhabi.
Cheers!
Al Futtaim, Dynatrade or somewhere else?

Read the service manual and go to any mechanic, ask him to do the check list accordingly , preferably you direct him step by step, you will finish everything for 300-500 max

Re: Al Futtaim, Dynatrade or somewhere else?
I'm forced to do service for my FJ at Al Futtaim for one reason only (warranty), however, If I've got the choice it won't be them as I have seen them as disqualifed to do anything with cars. Based on my personal experience and friends stories.
FJ are cheap to mantain, dispite the regular oil and filter change. I would recommend Seapal garage. It's run by one of our Marshals ( Abual3bed) they're doing really good work and faimlier with the car issues specially if you go offroad, and they will advise you with everything required to keep the car running safe and sound.

I second Murad. I am also forced to service my FJ in Al Futtaim because of the warranty.

I've had my FJ 3 yrs, driven it everywhere in every style and always have done Al Futtaim. The 5yr warranty is just on the chassis and (fingers crossed) I've never had any problem with any type of Toyota so I'm going to say screw the last 2yrs of that chassis warranty and try Seapal garage from now on.
