Auto Parts Shop for Chevrolet Parts

In planning for my relocation from Abu Dhabi to Doha, I am thinking about doing some preemptive repairs to my Chevrolet Lumina while I am still in Abu Dhabi, as I already have trusted mechanics and good sources for parts.  However, if I can find auto parts shops in Doha that have similar prices as found here in the UAE (eg.  850QR for AC compressor), I'd rather wait and do the repairs in Doha when the repairs are definitely needed.

Can anyone recommend three auto parts shops for Chevrolet parts in Doha.  If you can, please include the cell numbers, so I can send an SMS with the parts I need.  Thanks for the help.

paulobanez: Thanks for checking. I was thinking maybe the parts would be 20 to 30 percent more expensive, but not 325 percent more. Is 3570QR just the price for parts, or does that include labor as well? I found out yesterday that here in the UAE 850AED is for a Delphi AC compressor (made in China), which was originally installed in my car in 2004 at the Holden/Chevrolet manufacturer in Australia. A General Motors AC compressor will cost 1800AED. There are some other things that must be replaced along with the compressor: O-rings, receiver/filter, and valve. I know someone here in Al Ain who will do all the work for 300AED; I just buy all the parts for about

1220 AED. In the U.S., you go to a mechanic and pay the price he offers; he provides the parts from his supplier, and you accept his markup on the parts. Here in the UAE, you go to a mechanic; he tells you what parts you need, and then you go to the auto parts shop of your choice to buy the parts. With most mechanics in Doha, can you also supply your own parts and pay for just the labor? I know it sounds strange to buy auto parts from China, but it seems that many cars today may be manufactured with "OEM" parts manufactured in China: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/1135465-1135257-DELPHI-V5-auto-air_851038256.html www.intl2008.com. Did you find out how much the compressor is for your 2009 Nissan Tiida?

khalliwalli and mast kalander: I've got to come. The deal has been made and the ink has dried. Housing, utilities,and child's education expenses are covered; the latter two have not been covered in the UAE. I'm expecting only food to be more expensive, but I am surprised by the high price for the AC repair. But, to be fair, the equivalent of about 2700QR would probably be the price for professional warrantied service in either the U.S. or Australia.

Pappu_Pager: Are you saying that many mechanics in Doha try to raise the price by changing things that don't need to be changed?

Thanks for the responses.

Yr right khalliwalli by the difference in price of a simple AC Compressor is that much then what about his accomadation, cost of living and other expenses like schooling so better to stay in UAE untill EXPO 2022

If anyone happens to visit an auto parts store in the near future, could he or she ask about the price for a new AC compressor for a 2004 Chevrolet Lumina: 6 Cylinder 3.8liter engine? The price in the UAE is 850 QR/AED. I'm thinking of buying the necessary parts in the UAE, bringing them to Doha, and having a mechanic in Doha replace the AC compressor and related parts in about nine months when this repair job will be more necessary. But if the parts cost the same in Doha, I won't bother with buying them now. Thanks for your help.
