McLaren services

What we do for your McLaren

We diagnose first, then fix only what has failed. Our mechanical workshop and bodyshop are under one roof in Al Quoz, every job uses genuine parts and carries a 6-month warranty.

Servicing

Servicing to McLaren's schedule for your car and mileage, with genuine parts and the oil specified for your engine: oil and filters, fluids, brakes, tyres and battery, a full diagnostic scan and the service indicator reset. If your McLaren is still under warranty or a service plan, we tell you what it covers before you book.

Diagnostics & electrical

McLaren OEM diagnostic equipment, with warning lights and fault messages traced to the real cause: flat batteries, charging faults, sensors, screens, lights and wiring. We confirm every fault on the car before recommending a repair.

Pre-purchase inspection

Buying a used McLaren in Dubai? We scan every control unit, check the body under UV light for repaints and accident repairs, look for flood and chassis damage, measure carbon-ceramic brake wear, check for leaks and road-test the car. You get a full written report before you pay.

Engine & cooling

The twin-turbo V8: oil and coolant leaks, misfires, turbo and boost faults, and running hot in Dubai traffic. We pressure-test the cooling system to find leaks and fix warnings at the source.

Dual-clutch gearbox

Harsh, jerky or slow gear changes and gearbox warnings. We read fault memory, clutch wear and adaptation values and check the gearbox fluid before any parts are discussed, then service or repair what is at fault.

Hydraulic suspension & nose lift

Proactive Chassis Control hydraulic suspension, the nose-lift system, alignment and suspension knocks. A nose lift that won't rise or a suspension fault message is tested first, and we only replace what has failed.

Brakes, including carbon-ceramic

Pads, discs, calipers and fluid, including McLaren's carbon-ceramic brakes. Squealing, vibration or a brake warning are checked by measurement, and we only replace what testing shows is worn.

Air conditioning

Weak cooling in Dubai traffic: we diagnose the compressor, condenser, fans and climate control, find any leak, and recharge the refrigerant.

Paint protection film

OFJ Bespoke, our own self-healing paint protection film, in gloss or satin, with a 10-year warranty and a warranty certificate. It is fitted after full paint preparation, with badges and trims removed so the edges are wrapped. A full body usually takes 3 to 5 days.

Peelable paint, colour PPF & wraps

Change the colour without touching the original paint: peelable paint, coloured paint protection film or a wrap, all removable later. Full repaints are done in our own bodyshop.

Ceramic coating & detailing

Ceramic coating for the paint, wheels and interior, protection for leather, Alcantara and screens, and full detailing. Often done in the same visit as paint protection film.

Accident repair & paint

Accident repair with genuine parts, factory-matched paint and every panel aligned, including carbon and composite body panels. Our bodyshop is under the same roof as the mechanical workshop, and we work directly with owners, not through insurance companies.

FAQs

Questions owners ask us

Anything else, send it on WhatsApp and an advisor will answer directly.

Where's the best place to service a McLaren in Dubai?

Choose a workshop that has McLaren diagnostic equipment, uses genuine parts, diagnoses before replacing anything and gives a written warranty. OFJ Automotive, at 24B Street, Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, Dubai, does all four: McLaren OEM diagnostic equipment, genuine parts, a full diagnostic scan on every car and a 6-month warranty on all work, with our own bodyshop for PPF, paint and colour changes. OFJ is rated 4.9 on Google and 5-star rated by the Dubai government and the UAE Ministry of Industry & Advanced Technology.

Which McLaren models do you work on?

Every McLaren from the 540C, 570S and 650S onwards: the 600LT, 675LT, 720S, 750S and 765LT, the GT and GTS, the Artura, and the Senna and P1. Send us the model on WhatsApp and we will confirm.

Do you have McLaren diagnostic equipment?

Yes. We use McLaren OEM diagnostic equipment to read every control unit, and we confirm every fault on the car before recommending a repair.

My McLaren is still under warranty or a service plan. Should I come to you?

Use the warranty or plan for what it covers. We look after everything around it: paint protection film, colour changes, ceramic coating, accident repair, and servicing and repairs once it ends.

How often does a McLaren need servicing?

Once a year or at the mileage interval in its service schedule, whichever comes first, even if the car is barely driven.

Why does my McLaren's battery go flat?

McLarens draw power even when parked, so a car that stands for a week or two can drain its battery. We test the battery and charging system, check for any extra drain, and can fit a battery conditioner if the car stands a lot.

Do you use genuine McLaren parts?

Yes. Genuine parts and the oil specified for your engine, and every job comes with our 6-month warranty.

Do you fit paint protection film on McLarens?

Yes. OFJ Bespoke, our own self-healing film, in gloss or satin with a 10-year warranty and a warranty certificate. Badges and trims come off so the edges are wrapped, and a full body usually takes 3 to 5 days.

Do you service carbon-ceramic brakes?

Yes. We measure the discs and pads, check the calipers and fluid, and only replace what testing shows is worn.

Can you inspect a used McLaren before I buy it?

Yes. Our pre-purchase inspection includes a scan of every control unit, a UV light check for repaints and accident repairs, flood and chassis damage checks, brake and tyre measurements and a road test, with a written report.

How much does a McLaren service cost in Dubai?

It depends on the model and the job. Send your model and what you need on WhatsApp and we will send a clear, itemised price before we collect the car. Nothing starts until you approve it.

Do you collect the car?

Yes. Pick-up and drop-off are free anywhere in Dubai. Send your location on WhatsApp and we will arrange a time to collect your McLaren and bring it back when the work is done.

Do you repair water-damaged McLarens?

Yes. We check the engine, gearbox and electrics for water, dry out the interior, clean and protect the connectors and control units, and repair or replace what the water has damaged. Do not try to start a car that has been in deep water: send us its location on WhatsApp and we will arrange to collect it.
