A BMW 740Li overheating problem was traced to the oil cooler system after three other garages failed to identify it.
Customers report warranties including one year on a BMW oil-cooler repair and six months on a Range Rover gearbox replacement.
One customer says the garage came to a road emergency, towed the car and repaired it on the same day.
A customer says minor services were completed quickly, while another got an engine-control-unit repair back on the road the next day.
A company has brought its vehicle to the garage for years and reports being consistently pleased with the service relationship.
Some customers describe the garage as competitive or affordable compared with other Al Quoz garages.
Get breakdown. Ask for a written parts and labour breakdown before approving work; a 2024 review says one was difficult to obtain.
Clarify warranty. Confirm exactly what the warranty covers before collection, since one customer had to argue for a repeat fuel-pump issue to be treated as warranty work.
Confirm timing. Call immediately before travelling for a quick job; one customer arrived for an oil change after being told to come anytime, but the workers had gone home.
Inspect collection. Check mileage and the cabin when collecting the car: one BMW review reported 180km added and stains with an oil-and-petrol smell.
Check detailing. Inspect paintwork and carpets at handover after detailing, as one customer reported new scratches and a damaged floor carpet.
Seek second opinion. For major engine or repeated faults, consider an independent diagnosis first; several reviews describe unresolved problems after extended stays.

A customer says the garage replaced a Range Rover gearbox and included a six-month warranty.
For a Honda Accord brake-light fault caused by spilled coffee, the switch was opened and cleaned instead of being fully replaced.
A customer says the car remained in the garage for 30 days, with a different explanation given each day for the delay.
One review alleges spare parts were priced almost 75% above market rates and says a detailed breakdown was not readily provided.
A suspension repair reportedly left the same noise unresolved within a month, with the garage declining to guarantee the replacement part.
A Groupon customer reported scratches on a GMC and a damaged floor carpet after a four-day detailing visit.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Colour Fair Auto Garage in Al Quoz is a general repair and maintenance workshop where customers bring everyday cars, company vehicles and premium models. The strongest reviews involve difficult diagnoses: a BMW 740Li overheating problem was traced to its oil cooler system after three other garages missed it, while an Infiniti QX70 owner says persistent overheating was finally fixed. Other reported work includes an engine control unit, alternator and battery repairs, gearbox replacement and emergency towing.
Warranties are a recurring reason to consider the garage. Reviews mention one year on the BMW oil-cooler repair, six months on a Range Rover gearbox replacement and longer warranties more generally. Some customers also describe competitive pricing, quick minor services and a same-day recovery repair.
That said, the experience is not consistent. The main cautions are substantial. Reviews report cars being held for 12, 30 or more days, repeat faults, disputed parts pricing and reluctance to provide a cost breakdown.
One detailing customer reported scratches on a GMC and damage to the floor carpet, while several others describe rude communication. Get the estimate and warranty terms in writing, confirm timing before driving over, and inspect the car and mileage carefully at collection.
