FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

• Are Alfa Romeo vehicles expensive to maintain?

  Although Alfa Romeo cars are high-performance, they are relatively cheaper to maintain. In Dubai, the average car maintenance cost is AED 2394 per year. However, Alfa Romeo cars has an average annual maintenance cost of about AED 1696. So, compared to the industry standard, Alfa Romeo owners can expect to pay significantly less to keep their vehicles in good running condition.

• How regularly should I change the oil in my Alfa Romeo?

  Regular oil changes are vital for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Alfa Romeo. The oil helps to lubricate the engine and remove contaminants that can build up over time. At Dynatrade, we recommend an oil change every 7500 miles to keep the car performing at its best. Ensure that you bring your Alfa Romeo to our service center for regular maintenance to enhance your car’s health.

• How would I know if my car battery is weak?

  You will know your Alfa Romeo has a weak battery if you notice a slow crank when starting the engine, the dimming or flickering of the interior lights, and if the engine won’t start at all. A swelling or leaking battery is also a sign of trouble. If you experience any of these issues, you should have your battery checked as soon as possible. It is also advisable that you come to Dyatrade Automotive for regular battery testing, as a weak battery can die when you are in the middle of nowhere and leave you stranded.

• What factors can affect the fuel consumption of my Alfa Romeo?

  The factors affecting fuel consumption include the vehicle's weight and aerodynamics, tyre type and size, transmission type and gear ratios, tyre pressure and condition, and driving habits (aggressive acceleration and braking, excessive speeds, etc.). Other factors include the car's age and condition, the fuel used, and the weather and road conditions. Understanding and addressing these factors can improve your car's fuel efficiency and save money on fuel costs.

• How do I fix a car that is overheating?

  If your car is overheating, address the issue quickly to prevent serious damage to the engine. Common causes of overheating include low coolant levels, a malfunctioning radiator or thermostat, a faulty water pump, or a clogged radiator hose. To fix an overheating car, refill the coolant, replace a faulty part, or flush the cooling system.

• How do I know if I need new brakes?

  Some signs that you may need new brakes include squealing or grinding noises when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, or a brake warning light on the dashboard. Ensure you check your brakes regularly to ensure they are functional and to catch issues before they become more serious.

• What are the common issues with AC systems?

  If the AC system is low on refrigerant, it may not cool the air effectively. Also, a faulty compressor causes the car air conditioner to blow warm air or not work at all. A clogged air filter can impede airflow into the AC system, reducing its cooling power. The condenser is responsible for releasing the heat absorbed by the refrigerant. If the condenser is defective, the AC system can lose its efficiency. AC is an integral vehicle component that makes driving in Dubai's harsh climatic conditions bearable. So, if you notice these issues, come to any of our Alfa Romeo service centers for diagnosis and repair so that your AC operates as expected.
