​Need a trusted affordable cheap Hybrid Specialist in Sharjah (2020 Corolla Hybrid AC botched by previous garage)

🔰 Help/Question

​Hi everyone,

​I’m looking for a highly recommended, trustworthy, affordable hybrid specialist—ideally in Sharjah.

The Issue: My AC stopped cooling properly (blowing warm air). I took it to a general workshop and they claimed to have "fixed" it.

​The Current Nightmare: Since that repair, the AC compressor is making a loud noise and pulling massive amounts of power. The cooling cuts out intermittently. Worst of all, my fuel economy dropped from 5L/100km to 10L/100km. The AC is draining the high-voltage battery instantly, forcing the engine to run constantly.

​I suspect the previous shop either severely overcharged the refrigerant or used standard conductive PAG oil instead of the required POE (ND-Oil 11) for electric compressors, and it’s dragging the whole hybrid system down.

​I need a garage that actually understands Toyota hybrid systems, can pull the codes, check the compressor amp draw, and properly recover/weigh what the last shop put in.

Does anyone have a go-to hybrid mechanic who won't scam me? Thanks!
