Dubai auto parts exporters: where they are and how to check one

The shops in the list come from our own directory records. A shop appears when what it told us or published says it exports, meaning it sends parts outside the UAE, among the things it offers. That is a record, not a check: we have not inspected any stock, tested any engine or confirmed that any of them sends parts to your country, none has paid to be here, and the order is not a verdict on quality or price. Each row opens our own listing for the shop, never its own website, and a shop missing from the list may export too.

Used parts and engines are mostly a Sharjah trade. In October 2022 the Sharjah Economic Development Department said it had organised sites for the used auto spare parts activity and for car auctions, with Souq Al Haraj, Industrial Areas 2 to 17 and the Al Sajaa Industrial Area among the places named. Our guide to the Sajaa market and our Sharjah Industrial Area page explain how those districts work for a buyer. Shops move, so confirm an address by call or video before anyone is sent to collect.

Dubai's parts counters sit elsewhere. In our Ras Al Khor records, measured on 31 August 2026, the parts shops are concentrated in Industrial Areas 1 and 2 and sell mainly new and aftermarket stock, while Al Aweer at the far end of the industrial area is the car market. Directory listings also place a cluster of genuine and aftermarket counters around Naif and Nasser Square in Deira.

Jebel Ali Free Zone is a third kind of address. Its own automotive and spare parts page, which carries no date, lists 629 or more businesses from 70 countries. A free-zone company holds its licence from the free zone rather than from an emirate's economic department, so ask which authority issued it and check there.

An exporter can be a boxed-parts counter, a used yard or an engine specialist, and the right questions differ. Match the question to the kind of shop in the table, then run the licence checks in the next section on every one. For a used engine or gearbox, get the warranty in writing on the invoice, with its length and what it covers; our guides to used engine prices and to half-cut engines in the UAE go through the questions in more detail.

Start with the licence. The National Economic Register is a federal platform on the official UAE government portal for looking up economic licences, and each emirate's economic department also runs its own lookup; Dubai's can be searched by trade name or licence number. The official page does not say whether free-zone licences are included, so for a free-zone company ask which free zone issued the licence and check there. Read the activities on it: they should include spare parts trading.

Ask for a tax invoice that shows the business's tax registration number, or TRN. The Federal Tax Authority's website has a public TRN verification tool that checks the number against the registered name. A small business may not be VAT registered, so a missing number is a question to ask, not proof of anything.

A licence copy alone proves little. In June 2025 Vietnam's trade office in the UAE warned of fraudsters who impersonated real UAE companies, showing trade licences with official seals and verifiable office addresses, then asking for payment into newly opened personal accounts. Its advice: be wary of partners who only write emails or refuse video calls, confirm any change of bank details through a second channel, and never pay on emails and scans alone.

Then check the shop itself. Call the number on its Easy Auto listing rather than one that arrives in a message, use the listing's map pin where there is one, ask for a short video of the premises and of the actual part, and prefer to pay a company account whose name matches the licence holder. Apply the same care to any payment request, Easy Auto's included.

Ask for a commercial invoice and a packing list that match the parts line by line, each line saying whether the part is new or used. In Dubai an exporter files an export declaration through Mirsal 2, the Dubai Customs declaration system, under a customs business code registered as an exporter, and keeps that declaration, the bill of lading or airway bill and a tax invoice with its TRN on file. Settle in writing who files it, the shop or your forwarder, before anything is collected.

Some destinations ask for a certificate of origin, which the International Chamber of Commerce describes as certifying that goods were wholly obtained, produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country. In the UAE the Ministry of Economy and the chambers of commerce issue them, split by product type, and the regulation behind them provides for checking by QR code. Ask your forwarder whether your customs needs one, and the exporter what origin it would show.

Send the part, the part number or the chassis number on WhatsApp and a person replies with a quote drawn from UAE stock and the Sharjah and Dubai parts markets and yards. Your own cargo agent or forwarder collects in Dubai and books the freight. Easy Auto does not ship abroad, name delivery times, set a minimum order or state a payment method on this page; a person confirms how to pay on WhatsApp.
