Recovery truck - SHJ - AUH - SHJ

Postby Ozimandius on Thu Jul 29, 2010 1:25 pm

Hi All,
I need to send my Tiida to Abu Dhabi for a sound system installation and require a recovery truck to pick up the car from my place in Sharjah, deliver it to that shop in Abu Dhabi on a Thursday, and then collect it back from the shop on Saturday and deliver it back to me.

Know of anyone reliable who can do this (not some muppet who'll %#%$ up my bumper and pretend it's not his fault), and if so, what the costs might be?

Thanks a bunch.

You are looking at 600 AED minimum, not worth it.

lol...these recovery guys surely know how to take advantage of the situation..they just see your car and you and judge what your budget range would be like..
if it was some arab guy or chick ..i bet he would tell AED 500 for the same..
coz they know you kant bear the heat and stand with a broken car...you WILL need a winch ..


Good goin wekky.
