The Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal upheld a ruling of the Court of First Instance, which obligated the owner of a car repair shop to pay the owner of a "classic" vehicle an amount of 60,600 dirhams, as compensation for damages to his vehicle during a maintenance procedure.

In detail, the owner of a "classic" car filed a lawsuit against the owner of a car maintenance workshop, demanding that he pay him 90,600 dirhams, the value of car maintenance fees, and compensation for damages to the vehicle, during a maintenance procedure, indicating his agreement with the workshop to Maintenance of his car, and the replacement of some spare parts with new ones, at a value of 40 thousand and 600 dirhams, but he was surprised by the high temperature of the engine, and it was found that the oil had been mixed with water.

While the report of the expert delegated by the court stated that there was an agreement between the plaintiff and the workshop, that parts of the engine of the car in question would be replaced, and maintenance work for the engine included replacing its internal parts, pointing out that the inspection showed a relative increase in the engine temperature after repair.

The report stated that the inspection of the car showed damage between the water pockets and the oil outlet returning to the oil tank, which leads to the oil losing its viscosity, and its inability to lubricate the engine joints, pointing to a failure in the maintenance work, which led to a flame, burning wires and burning the cover. The fans stopped, and the radiator water increased, which led to an overheating of the engine.

A court ruled to compel the maintenance workshop to pay the owner of the vehicle an amount of 60,600 dirhams, as a material compensation. Paid 60,600 dirhams to the owner of the damaged vehicle.
