When it’s time to look after your electric vehicle in the UAE
If you’re driving an electric vehicle (EV) in the UAE, you’ve already embraced the future of mobility. But as with any vehicle, routine care—and specialist service—makes all the difference. That’s exactly what MMS Auto Workshop offers: dedicated EV servicing, tailored for the unique demands of electric powertrains and the UAE environment.
Why EV servicing is special
EVs differ from traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles in several key ways: battery management, electric motor behaviour, and the absence of things like oil changes in the conventional sense. But they still have plenty of moving parts: suspension, brakes, tyres, the cabin climate system (which is crucial in hot climates), software/firmware updates, and more. Choosing a workshop that understands these differences is vital.
MMS Auto’s approach: “Innovation meets Care”
At MMS Auto Workshop, the tagline on their website is “Innovation Meets Care” — signalling that they combine cutting-edge EV service capabilities with trusted vehicle maintenance experience. They list two tiers of general service: a General Services package and a Major Services package, followed by specialist programming/software work and component replacements.
General Services – AED 300
This is the entry-level service for an EV: battery check, gear oil, brake oil, AC filter, brake check & disc check, suspension check, computerised (scanning) check, tyre pressure, coolant water, AC check, charging check. mmsautoworkshop.ae
For AED 300, you get a full run-through of key systems: brakes, suspension, charging system, AC in hot UAE conditions — a smart starter service for EV owners.

Major Services – AED 600
The major service includes everything in the general service, plus extra checks (air filter, cleaning radiator) polishing up a more thorough inspection and refresh of a vehicle. The same price appears twice in the listing, likely indicating the major service price regardless of some variable. mmsautoworkshop.ae
If your EV has done significant mileage, you’ve had it a while, or you want full peace of mind, this is the more comprehensive option.
Specialist and parts work
Beyond the standard service packages, MMS also lists detailed labour-only pricing for certain major parts and components:
Suspension parts replacement (lower arms, control arms, etc) starting from labour amounts e.g. “Lower Arm Change / Control Arm” labour AED 200. mmsautoworkshop.ae
Battery related labour (big battery check labour AED 500; big battery change labour AED 1,500; small battery check free; small battery change labour AED 300; small battery repair AED 500; Tesla performance small battery labour AED 800). mmsautoworkshop.ae
Oil & filters (even for EVs there are oils/filters for components): gear oil & filter change labour AED 200; motor oil change labour AED 200; motor oil filter change labour AED 80. mmsautoworkshop.ae
AC services: service with AC gas top-up AED 500; service with AC gas change AED 700; AC service radiator & fan change labour AED 600. mmsautoworkshop.ae
Brake pad labour: front brake pad change labour AED 200; rear brake pad change labour AED 200. mmsautoworkshop.ae
These line items give clear transparency into the labour portion of many common EV work items. (Note: parts costs are separate and would be quoted as needed.)
Why this matters in the UAE context
Heat & climate: The UAE’s hot, arid climate puts extra stress on batteries, cooling systems, AC systems and tyres. Having a service provider that explicitly includes charging checks, AC checks and coolant water means you’re in more capable hands.
EV-specific expertise: Not all workshops are equally equipped for EVs. A check labelled “charging check” suggests they’re aware of the unique electric-charging system, not just legacy mechanical items.
Transparent pricing: Seeing fixed-price service tiers (AED 300 / AED 600) gives EV owners a clear benchmark to plan around.
Labour itemisation: Workshops that list labour only rates for specific components show a level of openness and professionalism that helps avoid surprises.
What I’d recommend if you’re booking
Ask for the General Services package first if you’ve done moderate mileage or just want a routine check-up.
If your EV has high mileage, or you’ve noticed issues (cooling fan noise, AC inefficiency, charging taking longer than usual) go for the Major Services.
Get the component labour only list quoted with parts included: for things like big battery change, make sure you ask about parts cost (labour is listed, but parts will vary).
Clarify whether the “motor oil change” and “oil filter change” labour items apply to your specific EV model (some EVs have less conventional “motor oil” needs).
Ask how often the “programming & software” services are recommended — EVs often receive firmware or systems updates that help longevity and performance.
Final thoughts
If you own an EV in Sharjah or the UAE and want a trustworthy workshop that lists EV-specific services (charging check, AC check, battery check) plus transparent pricing, MMS Auto Workshop is worth considering. With fixed service tiers and detailed labour prices, you’ll be equipped to maintain your EV proactively — and avoid costly surprises down the road.
