Two things:
First, I just got to Riyadh (I was living in Abha) and I have a lot of different kinds of work that I need done on my car (I want to get some parts chrome plated, the AC needs some help, the rotors might need some attention, etc... it's a 1964 Thunderbird, so like any old car it needs attention). I went to As Sinaiyah, and there are all kinds of auto shops that specialize in different things--there's a place that does ACs, another that does chrome plating, etc. I don't speak any Arabic and I want to focus on my work rather than on finding the right shop for each job and being back and forth, so I'm wondering if there's a mechanic that can work out all of the different jobs for me for some extra money. When I was in Abha, the Captain at the Traffic Police station referred me to a mechanic, and I paid that mechanic some extra money and I gave him a list of jobs and the parts that I ordered from the US, and he was able to bring in the right people from the different shops in a comparable area (Sana'a in Abha is comparable to As Sinaiyah in Riyadh) and he dispersed the money out to the right mechanics accordingly--I'm sure that's possible here as well, but I don't know the right people who can work that out. Can anyone refer me to the right mechanic? (The Ford dealer out here can't work on the car--I already checked on that in Abha.)
Second, at the end of this month I'm going to leave the KSA for two months, so I was hoping to rent a storage locker for my car and some random other personal items. I googled, asked around, and called around, and it looks like storage locker businesses aren't very popular here. Can anyone refer me to a decent storage place?
