The Good Stuff
Custom Work
A Porsche 911 owner reported full PPF, polishing, spoiler spraying and fitting, with the spoiler finished to an OEM-like appearance.
European Expertise
Reviews repeatedly point to BMW strength, while also covering Mercedes, Porsche and other European cars.
Detailed Updates
One BMW owner appreciated being kept informed throughout the service and having each issue explained clearly.
Older Cars
The workshop fixed a 23-year-old Nissan Patrol carburettor problem and helped it pass the RTA emissions test after other garages failed.
Parts Knowledge
Owners of older cars mention the team’s ability to tackle hard-to-source parts and troublesome classic-car issues.
Fair Pricing
Some customers describe the pricing as reasonable, including one Porsche owner who called the price for paint correction and AC repair very reasonable.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Hours. Confirm opening times before travelling, since one visitor reported poor WhatsApp replies and an hour waiting at the shop.
Allow Time. Do not book the workshop for a rushed job; a review specifically advises patience, particularly for perfection-focused work.
Set Deadlines. For custom orders, agree the completion date and update process in writing, as one customer waited three months beyond the expected schedule.
Get It Written. Put every promise, repair responsibility and delivery condition in an official document, especially when buying or modifying a used car.

The Bottom Line
Slick Custom Auto in Al Quoz is an independent German-car workshop with particularly strong review evidence around BMWs and older project cars. You can bring a classic BMW for major mechanical work, use the team for restoration and upgrades, or book custom jobs such as full PPF and spoiler fitting on a Porsche 911. The workshop’s appeal is its specific knowledge.
One 1992 BMW E30 arrived with a broken steering rack, failed water pump and overdue service; the owner said it left driving like new. Other reviews mention BMW Z3 and Z4 work, Mercedes suspension and electrical repairs, engine swaps, wraps and even a carburettor repair that helped an old Nissan Patrol pass its RTA emissions test. Customers also praise clear explanations, technical diagnosis and help sourcing difficult classic-car parts.
There is an important practical caveat: communication by phone or WhatsApp is criticised in several reviews, and custom timelines can stretch considerably. One customer waited about three extra months, while another reported a used-car modification taking months longer than promised and still having faults. Confirm hours, agree deadlines and document the scope before leaving the car.
Pricing is not always low, but some reviewers call it reasonable and say specialist project work justified the spend.
