Hi all..
I need to get a few things done on my car, however, trying to explain to someone at the Castrol place that I need the grease nipples lubed....well, its kinda hard to explain.

Is there anyone who can suggest a decent mechanic who can speak english and wont charge me 50 Dinar for a job that really costs 5?

ROFLMAO!! Greasy nipples lubed.. Dude, you just made my CENTURY.

problem is, unless you speak a spot of arabic, most likely people will try to bilk you for what you are worth.

try to find an arabic speaking colleague that can accompany you to translate, or simply cruise down Canada Dry Street and ask around. they employ a fair amount of people there and a few do speak quite good english, not spot on perfect but, if u point to what u want to get lubed, i think they can assist.
