Labour/parts cost in Amman

Hi,

Currently in Amman after our Land Rover defender overheated in Aqaba. It's looking like we may have just escaped blowing the head gasket but the radiator has sprung a number of impressive leaks (maybe due to an airlock and pressure build up?). I was just wondering if anybody had any experience of labour or parts costs in Amman, or could recommend a good garage/mechanic as we don't really know what ballpark we're in.

Also anyone know if its possible to get hold of a new radiator in Jordan? We're being told no but would rather replace than patch up.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi Matt,

your inquiry is 3 days old and hopefully you already found help. If not: there is a german school in Amman, the Theodor Schneller Schule. It is situated just a few meters off the main Toyota dealer in Amman on the other side of the main road (King Abdallah I). The school has a garage where they qualify local kids as mechanics and are very helpful. Although it's a german institution, english is the common language.

The school even has a guest house and place for a few cars to park near the guest house. We stayed in our 4x4s and used the facilities of the guest house (picture here).

GPS coordinates: N32°0.164'; E36°0.502'

Schneller-School, P.O.B. 340649, Amman 11134. Tel. (009625) 3616103, Fax (009625) 3612767

HTH, Hans
