Living in Abu Dhabi, need a trans service – any trusted recommendations?

    So I've been living in the capital for about a year now and I'm absolutely loving it, but one thing I haven't managed to find yet is a garage that I actually trust with my 2016 A5 Sportback. Back in Dubai I had a go-to specialist who knew the car inside out and always did a proper job, but driving all the way back there for a transmission service just doesn't make sense anymore, especially with the amount of stop-and-go traffic I deal with on a daily basis. The car has just ticked over 80,000 kilometers and I know the DSG fluid and filter are due for a change, but I've been putting it off because I'm genuinely nervous about handing my keys to a shop that might not know the correct procedure for these boxes. I've heard that you need a proper diagnostic tool to monitor the fluid temperature when you're doing the level check, and if the shop doesn't have that, there's a good chance they'll get the level wrong and cause problems down the road. I've been looking online for options and I've seen a few names mentioned in various forums and local discussions, but I'm still not sure which ones are actually reputable. I'm specifically looking for a place that offers proper Audi Transmission Service Abu Dhabi UAE, not just a general garage that claims they can do everything but doesn't specialize in German cars. I've heard of a few places in the Musaffah area that apparently have a good reputation, but I don't want to just pick one at random and hope for the best. If anyone here has had a positive experience with a transmission specialist in Abu Dhabi, I'd be really grateful for a recommendation – I just want to get the car serviced properly and have peace of mind that it's been done right. I'm willing to pay a fair price for quality work, I just need to know who to trust.
