Unhappy Help!!! No repair shop for the rx8 in Dubai the Middle East

Guys I really need some help
I have bought my RX8 and I have spent 2 months searching for a repair shop here in Dubai - Middle East but I can’t seems to find one?
So thank god till now I have no problems with the car at all, but I want to know will there be any problems soon??
And what is the biggest problem that I might have in the car??
Will I be needing for a mechanic or if I learned how to fix it by myself and had the right tools and parts I’ll be able to??

thank you all for reading

These questions should have been asked prior to owning the car...but do not fret!!

If you have any sort of mechanical skills, most things you can do yourself. Spark Plug changes, fluid changes, etc. The best way to make sure your 8 will not fall to an early death is to keep up on all maintenance. The owners manual will tell you what to do.

If the engine does to kaput, it would be the best way to learn about the rotary engine if you can do it yourself. Try looking around and see if there aren't any mechanics for the rotary, but people who have worked on it. There is usually someone around that has worked on it and would help you...

hahahahahah lol
not ever one here in Dubai drives a lambo or a Ferrari or a maserati, it like 25% of the people in here drive those kind of expensive cars, the other 75% are normal people like you and me who buys used and new cheap cars lol

I have been bumming around the mid-east for long enough to say, I am not sure I would trust most mechanics shops to help you much.

Learn yourself, most of it is fairly easy if you take your time and do the research.
