Specialists by choice
Most workshops repair anything that comes through the door. We don’t. Concentrating on one system means we recognise patterns generalists miss — and we never learn anything by accident.
About Al Qustas
A workshop built around one craft.
Al Qustas Automatic Transmission has spent more than three decades doing one thing — and doing it properly. No diagnostic guesswork, no general-mechanic compromise. Just automatic transmissions, engineered, repaired and rebuilt by specialists.
Our story
Founded by an engineer with a single obsession.
Al Qustas was founded in Sharjah in 1990 by a mechanical engineer who had spent his early career studying the inner workings of automatic gearboxes. Where others saw a mysterious sealed unit, he saw a system of valves, hydraulics and electronics that could be understood, diagnosed and put right.
That focus has never shifted. Three and a half decades on, Al Qustas remains an independent, owner-led workshop. We don’t branch out into engines, suspension, paintwork or anything else. Drivers come to us when something is wrong with the transmission — and they come from across the UAE because the work is worth the trip.
Today the workshop handles every kind of automatic system on the road: traditional planetary boxes, CVTs, dual-clutch units, modern eight- and ten-speed transmissions in family cars, fleet vehicles, 4WDs and performance builds. Same focus, broader knowledge.
What guides the workshop
Four principles, applied to every job.
The way a workshop operates says more about it than any marketing copy. These are the standards we hold ourselves to — not because they sound good, but because the work demands them.
Engineering first
The workshop was founded by a mechanical engineer and still operates that way. Diagnosis is methodical, parts are matched to specification, and shortcuts that mask symptoms are not on the table.
Honest before fast
A clear written quote, in plain language, before any work starts. If a transmission can be repaired we’ll repair it; if a service is enough we’ll say so. The cheaper, simpler answer is often the right one.
Backed in writing
Every repair, rebuild and service leaves the workshop with a written warranty. That’s not a marketing line — it’s the document we hand you, signed, with the keys.
Inside the workshop
A small team, deep in the same craft.
Walk into the workshop and you’ll find what a transmission specialist looks like in practice: stripped valve bodies on the bench, planetary sets laid out cleanly, scan tools running live data alongside a road-tested vehicle. No corners cut, no guesswork.
-
Diagnosis on real data
Professional scan tools, road testing under load, and stationary checks — combined, not used in isolation.
-
OEM and updated parts
Genuine components where they belong; updated revisions where the manufacturer has improved a known weakness.
-
Clean, methodical builds
Every rebuild is photographed, measured and documented. You leave knowing exactly what was done, with parts and torque values on paper.
-
One point of contact
You’ll deal with the same people from diagnosis through delivery. No service-advisor middlemen, no message-relayed updates.
Visit the workshop
Bring the car in. We’ll tell you what’s actually wrong.
Walk-in diagnosis is welcome, and most assessments are completed the same day. You leave with a written quote in plain language — or, if nothing’s wrong, with peace of mind and no charge.
