Where these garage prices come from
We analysed BusinessFinder.me’s own history of garage and auto-services ads that have since expired or been removed. To keep the comparison fair we removed car washes, ads offering a garage for rent, a listing that was simply a used car, likely reposts of the same garage, and five prices that were not credible (under AED 25,000, or AED 14–20 million with no supporting details). We also removed ads showing AED 1,230,000, a placeholder figure that appeared on dozens of unrelated ads in 2021–2022 rather than a real asking price.
That leaves 165 priced listings across the UAE. Most are from 2019–2021 (100 listings), with 37 from 2022–2023 and 28 from 2024–2026. We show the full 2019–2026 picture and recent figures separately. All numbers describe groups of listings, never a single seller.
How much does a car garage cost to buy?
| Asking price | Listings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Under AED 100,000 | 22 | 13% |
| AED 100,000 – 199,999 | 25 | 15% |
| AED 200,000 – 499,999 | 70 | 42% |
| AED 500,000 – 999,999 | 24 | 15% |
| AED 1 million and above | 24 | 15% |
The biggest group, 42% of listings, asked between AED 200,000 and AED 500,000. This is the typical running workshop in an industrial area; listings that stated a size in this range were mostly a few thousand square feet. Garages asking AED 1 million or more were usually large: nine of the twelve that stated a size were 6,000 sq ft or bigger. In Dubai, valid listings ranged from about AED 25,000 to AED 4 million.
Have garage prices gone up?
| Listing period | Listings | Median asking price |
|---|---|---|
| 2019–2021 | 100 | AED 272,500 |
| 2022–2023 | 37 | AED 350,000 |
| 2024–2026 | 28 | AED 397,500 |
| All years | 165 | AED 320,000 |
Asking prices have risen in each period: the median went from about AED 272,500 in 2019–2021 to AED 350,000 in 2022–2023 and about AED 397,500 in 2024–2026. Half of the 28 recent listings asked between about AED 300,000 and AED 1 million. That recent sample is small, so use it as a guide rather than a precise market price.
Garage prices by emirate
| Emirate | Listings | Median asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai | 135 | AED 350,000 |
| Abu Dhabi | 10 | AED 310,000 |
| Sharjah | 10 | AED 222,500 |
| Ajman | 8 | AED 122,500 |
Dubai has by far the most garage listings. Sharjah and Ajman garages asked noticeably less, which makes them worth a look for buyers on a tighter budget, as long as your customers are nearby.
Garage prices by area in Dubai
Dubai’s garages cluster in a few industrial areas. These are the areas with at least eight priced listings (industrial and non-industrial parts of the same area combined):
| Area | Listings | Median asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Umm Ramool | 18 | AED 225,000 |
| Ras Al Khor | 11 | AED 300,000 |
| Al Qusais | 10 | AED 372,500 |
| Al Quoz | 51 | AED 450,000 |
Al Quoz is the centre of Dubai’s garage market, with almost four in ten of the city’s listings and the highest median. It sits close to Sheikh Zayed Road and many villa communities. Umm Ramool, near the airport, had the lowest median of the four.
Garage prices by size
Only 50 listings stated a size, with a median of about 4,100 sq ft. Size makes a big difference:
| Workshop size | Listings | Median asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Under 3,000 sq ft | 11 | AED 245,000 |
| 3,000 – 5,999 sq ft | 20 | AED 380,000 |
| 6,000 – 11,999 sq ft | 11 | AED 850,000 |
| 12,000 sq ft and above | 8 | AED 2.85 million |
Larger workshops have room for more bays and lifts, and for paint booths or specialist equipment. The bands are small samples, so treat them as rough guides.
Rent, staff and what is included
- Rent: 27 listings stated a yearly rent. The median was about AED 120,000 a year, and half paid between AED 80,000 and AED 163,500. The typical asking price was about 3.7 times the yearly rent.
- Staff: 27 listings stated a team size; the median was six staff.

How to judge whether a garage is fairly priced
- Value the equipment separately. Lifts, diagnostic machines, compressors and paint booths can be a large part of the price. Ask for a list with ages and condition.
- Check the approvals. A garage needs the right trade licence activities and, depending on the work, approvals such as civil defence and environmental permits. Confirm they are valid and will transfer.
- Check the lease. Industrial leases vary a lot. Confirm the term, the renewal terms and whether the landlord will transfer the lease to you.
- Look at where the work comes from. Walk-in customers, company fleets and insurance referrals carry different risks. Ask for job cards, invoices and bank statements.
- Remember these are asking prices. Deals often close below the first figure.
