8Dear valued customers, We have received several inquiries from some customers regarding the price difference between large maintenance centers and the newly emerging 'Abu Riyalain' painting shops, I mean of course those car tinting or accessories shops that are now painting people's cars and messing up their engines. A customer comes and says: I found a painting shop that paints my car for 900 or 1500 SAR using original materials with a five-year warranty!!!! Here, I must clarify several points: 1- Painting is not like street spray; street paint mixed with dust and dirt. After a few months, you'll find your car looking like a rough wall, without smoothness, clarity, or shine. 2- The materials used are not European but Jordanian or Egyptian. Genuine German materials cost at least 1000 SAR for small cars, 1200 SAR for mid-size cars, and 1500 SAR for larger vehicles. So how could their painting price be only 1000 SAR? Are they painting at a loss?! 3- They don't offer polishing or correction services. They just paint the car as it stands. And if they use filler, it will peel off after the first exposure to sunlight—and you know how intense Riyadh’s sun is. 4- It's impossible for them to provide an invoice or warranty after the job because they know they’ll face endless problems and complaints. That's why you have the right to search for a suitable price, but don't mock or ridicule my pricing when I say my painting costs 3000 SAR while these shops charge only 1000 SAR. The difference is in everything: We have an oven. We use German materials. We provide polishing. We offer after-service support. We are a Saudi management team who genuinely care for our dear customers. We are saddened by what some of these shops are doing—stealing people's money and ruining their cars. For example, if you get your car painted there and within two months it deteriorates, you'll need to pay double the cost just to fix the damage. Sometimes, it requires complete repainting, meaning even higher expenses. These shops are merely cosmetic places—strictly for window tinting or accessories. They are not specialized painting workshops and lack even the most basic work requirements. Attached is a conversation from someone—I don’t even know him—but he sent it to me. What happened to his car is heartbreaking and infuriating. And they are of a certain known nationality, playing around with people's cars. Use your judgment—your mind and your money belong to you. Your cars must not be tampered with at these places. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bru7rQce6jNbH2Dr5?g_st=ic We will continue exposing them, revealing their tricks, and raising public awareness about their fraud and theft. There are many authorized painting workshops available throughout Riyadh, offering reasonable prices for excellent service. It's better for you not to paint your car at all and keep its original paint than to go to those 'Abu Riyalain' shops on that street.
