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).

That leaves 168 priced listings across the UAE. Most are from 2019–2021 (100 listings), with 40 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	14%
AED 1 million and above	27	16%

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	40	AED 400,000
2024–2026	28	AED 397,500
All years	168	AED 325,000

Asking prices rose after 2021 and then held steady: the 2022–2023 and 2024–2026 medians are both close to AED 400,000. 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	138	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	52	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: 28 listings stated a yearly rent. The median was about AED 120,000 a year, and half paid between AED 80,000 and AED 163,000. The typical asking price was about 3.7 times the yearly rent.
• Staff: 27 listings stated a team size; the median was six staff.
• Sales: only eight listings stated monthly sales (median about AED 124,500), too few to rely on.
• Included: 28% of listings described the garage as fully equipped, 20% stressed a prime location, 11% mentioned parking, 10% a mezzanine or storage, and 9% said staff or visas could transfer. About 9% said the price was negotiable.

Examples from recent listings

• a workshop of about 2,000 sq ft in Ras Al Khor Industrial asked AED 245,000 in November 2024, fully equipped, with yearly rent of about AED 73,000 and the licence included;
• a garage of about 3,000 sq ft in Al Quoz asked AED 360,000 in November 2024;
• a garage of about 3,200 sq ft in Sharjah’s Industrial Area with seven staff asked AED 325,000 in November 2024;
• a fully equipped garage of about 10,000 sq ft in Al Quoz Industrial asked AED 2.5 million in January 2025.

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.
