Planning a Liwa trip next month – need an affordable inspection for my JK first

So a few of us are finally organizing a proper desert run to Liwa around mid-June and I want to make sure my 2016 Wrangler doesn't leave me stranded out there. I've already done the basics like checking fluids and tire tread, but I really need someone to look at the control arms, steering linkage, and the cooling system under load. The dealer in Abu Dhabi quoted me almost 1200 for a "comprehensive off-road inspection" which feels ridiculous for just looking and test driving. I've been searching for an Affordable Jeep Service Center Abu Dhabi that actually understands what needs checking before a long desert trip – not just a glorified oil change place. I came across a website that lists some workshops around Musaffah but hard to tell which ones are reasonably priced and which ones will tack on hidden fees. Has anyone found a place that does a solid pre-trip inspection for Wranglers without charging dealer-level prices? Ideally somewhere that will also check the diff breathers and make sure the transfer case shifts properly. I don't mind paying fair labour, just don't want to get ripped off because they see a Jeep and think "deep pockets". Any recommendations would be awesome.

1,200 dirhams for a pre-trip inspection from a dealer is just brand tax. A proper Jeep specialist in Mussafah will check everything that actually matters for desert driving at a fraction of that price.

Diff breathers and transfer case shift check before Liwa is smart thinking. Most general garages won't even know why diff breathers matter in deep sand crossings, which tells you everything about who to avoid.

Control arms and steering linkage inspection before a long desert run is not optional. Liwa puts serious stress on every joint and bushing, and a small issue on tarmac becomes a real problem in soft sand.

Fair labour from a Mussafah specialist for a proper pre-trip inspection should sit well under what the dealer quoted. Hidden fees are easy to avoid by asking for a written estimate before they start anything.

Mid-June Liwa run means serious heat on top of the terrain challenge. Make sure whoever inspects it also checks the cooling system under load and confirms the radiator and hoses are in good shape for those temperatures.
