The Kia in Oman is shares its platform with Hyundai and shares its faults, which makes both quicker to diagnose. Oman is not a short country. Salalah is close to a thousand kilometres from Muscat, and the charging between them thins out fast once you are past Nizwa. An electric car here has to be planned around in a way it simply does not in Doha or Dubai.
That is the context this workshop works in, and it changes what a service is for. We cover E-GMP platform work, ICCU replacement and heat-pump diagnostics, alongside the ordinary work any car needs — and we would rather tell you the car is fine than sell you a job it does not need. BYD is searched for in Oman more than any other car, electric or not — by a distance, and more than Tesla. What arrives at the workshop matches that: more Atto 3s, Seals and Song Plus than everything else combined.
