My car’s been sitting for months – any garages in Al Quoz that do proper recommi

So I’ve been away for work for the better part of six months and my poor Nissan Patrol has just been sitting in the parking garage under my building collecting dust. I came back last week, jumped in, and it started up fine, which surprised me, but after driving it around for a couple of days I’m noticing it’s not quite the same as before. The brakes feel a bit spongy, the tires probably have flat spots, and there’s this faint ticking noise from the engine that I don’t remember hearing before. I know that cars that sit for long periods can develop all sorts of issues, from stale fuel to dried out seals to battery problems, and I want to get it properly checked out before I start using it daily again. I’ve been looking for a garage in Al Quoz that can do a thorough inspection and bring the car back to life properly, not just an oil change and a pat on the back. I remembered that there’s an 800Sayara car service garage in Al Quoz from when I lived in Dubai before, and I’ve seen their vans around, but I’m not sure if they do the kind of deep inspection I’m looking for or if they’re more focused on quick fixes and battery replacements. Has anyone here used them for a full vehicle inspection or a recommissioning service after long storage? I’d really like to find a place that will check the fuel system, flush the brake fluid, inspect the suspension bushings for cracking, and generally make sure everything is safe before I start taking the family out in it again. Any experiences or recommendations would be much appreciated because I’m a bit paranoid about hidden issues after leaving it for so long.
