GAC Spare Parts in UAE: Replacement Prices for GS8, EMKOO, EMPOW and GS3 EMZOOM

October 5, 2026

The awkward thing about buying GAC spare parts in UAE is that the number on the first quotation can be almost meaningless.

AED 550 for a part might be perfectly reasonable. AED 550 for another part might be suspiciously incomplete. And AED 2,800 for a headlight can sound outrageous until you discover that the cheaper quotation was for something else entirely.

That is the trap.

GAC now has a fairly broad UAE presence, with models such as the GS8, EMKOO, EMPOW and GS3 EMZOOM occupying very different parts of the market. The current UAE GS8, for example, is offered with 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.0-litre hybrid powertrains, while the EMKOO is offered in hybrid and 1.5-litre turbo forms. The EMPOW uses a 1.5-litre turbo engine in the current UAE dealer specification, while the GS3 EMZOOM is also listed with a 1.5-litre turbo engine.

So there is no sensible single answer to “How much are GAC spare parts?”

The useful answer is more awkward: which GAC, which generation, which engine, which side, which specification, which part, and is the quoted price actually for the complete component?

UAE Update Reference: September 2026

GAC spare-parts prices in the UAE are not one neat price list

A current UAE supplier catalogue gives a revealing snapshot.

For the GS8, publicly listed examples include an oil filter at AED 55, an air filter at AED 110, a turbocharger assembly at AED 1,850, an alternator at AED 780 and an engine oil pump assembly at AED 1,850. The same catalogue lists some components as out of stock, including a rear window regulator and evaporator.

For the EMKOO, public listings include a front bumper support at AED 650, a front grille at AED 855, a rear bumper at AED 585, a right mirror at AED 1,360 and a front bumper corner at AED 565.

The GS3 EMZOOM has a rather different pattern. A right headlight is publicly listed at AED 2,800, while an inner rear lamp is AED 599 and a front fender is AED 435.

Those figures are useful because they show the spread.

They are not useful if someone turns them into a fake “average GAC parts price”.

What counts as a replacement-parts price?

This sounds like semantics until you receive the invoice.

A replacement-part price normally means the component itself.

It may not include:

• workshop labour;
• diagnosis;
• paint;
• delivery;
• VAT, where not already included;
• clips and fasteners;
• seals or gaskets;
• fluids;
• programming;
• coding;
• calibration;
• wheel alignment;
• additional damaged components.

A GAC front bumper listed at a few hundred dirhams can therefore become a considerably larger repair once the workshop starts removing the damaged assembly.

That is not necessarily the supplier inflating the price.

It is the difference between part cost and repair cost.

The current GAC range makes model identification more important

The UAE dealer network currently presents a wider GAC range than simply the four models named in this article, but GS8, EMKOO, EMPOW and GS3 EMZOOM remain particularly relevant when owners search for replacement components. The current GS8 page lists petrol and hybrid powertrains, while the current EMKOO page identifies 2.0 hybrid and 1.5 turbo versions.

The GS3 EMZOOM is a smaller 1.5-litre turbo SUV, while the EMPOW is a 1.5-litre turbo sports-oriented sedan.

That matters because suppliers catalogue parts by application, not merely by badge.

“GAC front bumper” is almost useless information.

“2024 GAC GS3 EMZOOM, right-hand headlight, VIN supplied” is a quotation request.

There is a difference.

GS8 parts: the big SUV brings big-component economics

The GS8 sits in a different ownership bracket from the EMPOW and GS3 EMZOOM.

The current UAE GS8 starts from AED 149,900 on the dealer's September 2026 listing, with 2.0-litre turbo and 2.0-litre hybrid powertrain options. The UAE specification also includes extensive electronic equipment, including automatic parking assistance, a 540-degree visual system and a range of active-safety functions.

That has an obvious parts implication.

A GS8 owner is not only buying mechanical components. There can also be relatively expensive electronics, sensors, cameras, lighting assemblies and powertrain-specific parts.

A cheap quotation for a complex GS8 component deserves more questions, not fewer.

GS8 routine service parts can be relatively modest

Not every GAC repair is frightening.

A current public UAE GS8 supplier listing gives an oil filter at AED 55 and an air filter at AED 110, with the listings carrying specific catalogue references. A fuel filter is listed at AED 63.25, although that particular item was shown as sold out when checked.

Those are useful examples of ordinary service-part economics.

But remember what they represent.

They are individual component prices.

Oil, labour, inspection, disposal, workshop charges and any other service items are separate unless explicitly included in the quotation.

GS8 turbocharger pricing shows why part category matters

A current UAE public listing gives the GAC GS8 2.0-litre turbocharger assembly at AED 1,850. The same catalogue lists a turbine cartridge at AED 1,700.

Those are not interchangeable descriptions.

A turbocharger assembly and a cartridge can represent different repair approaches, and the labour involved in replacing them can differ substantially.

If a workshop quotes AED 1,700 for “the turbo”, ask exactly what it means.

Is it:

• complete turbocharger assembly;
• cartridge;
• actuator;
• associated gasket/seal kit;
• used assembly;
• reconditioned unit?

The word “turbo” is not a part number.

GS8 engine-related parts can move from hundreds into thousands

The same UAE catalogue lists a GS8 engine oil pump assembly at AED 1,850, an engine oil cooler at AED 1,850, and a fuel pump at AED 980. An alternator is listed at AED 780.

These examples illustrate something more useful than a price list.

Mechanical complexity is not evenly distributed across the vehicle.

A small service component may cost tens of dirhams. A major assembly can cross AED 1,000 quickly. Labour can then become significant because access, diagnosis and installation time are entirely different.

A buyer comparing prices should therefore compare like with like, not simply collect the cheapest number beside each component name.

A GS8 gearbox problem should be diagnosed before ordering a gearbox

This is where parts shopping can become expensive nonsense.

A complaint such as delayed engagement, harsh shifting or a transmission warning does not prove that the complete gearbox has failed.

The workshop should establish:

• diagnostic trouble codes;
• transmission fluid condition where applicable;
• fluid level and leaks;
• electrical communication;
• sensor readings;
• adaptation values where applicable;
• mechanical symptoms;
• road-test behaviour;
• whether the fault points towards a component rather than the complete transmission.

A gearbox assembly is an expensive answer to a problem that might have a smaller answer.

Diagnosis comes first.

EMKOO parts occupy a strange middle ground

The EMKOO is interesting because it sits between conventional petrol ownership and the newer hybrid direction of the GAC range.

The current UAE dealer information describes the model with both a 2.0-litre hybrid and a 1.5-litre turbo powertrain.

That means the phrase “EMKOO engine part” still leaves an important question unanswered.

Which engine?

The same applies to transmission-related components, cooling hardware, wiring and certain control modules.

For hybrid-specific components, powertrain identification becomes even more important because visually similar assemblies may have completely different applications.

EMKOO bumper support: AED 650 is not a bumper price

A public UAE supplier listing checked in September 2026 shows an EMKOO front bumper support at AED 650.

Another listing shows an EMKOO front bumper corner at AED 565, while a front grille is listed at AED 855.

This is exactly where online parts searches can mislead buyers.

A support is not a bumper.

A grille is not a bumper.

A corner section is not necessarily the complete bumper assembly.

When comparing quotations, copy the exact component description into your notes. Do not compare prices simply because both suppliers use the word “bumper”.

EMKOO rear bumper pricing gives a useful UAE reference

The public supplier catalogue currently lists an EMKOO rear bumper at AED 585.

That figure is considerably lower than the front grille and support examples, but it should not be interpreted as a universal front-to-rear price relationship.

The rear bumper may be supplied as a different assembly.

It may also exclude trims, reflectors, parking sensors, brackets and other components.

And the listing is a market observation from one UAE supplier, not a GAC Motor UAE recommended retail price.

That distinction matters throughout this article.

EMKOO grille prices reveal how trim changes the bill

One public listing puts an EMKOO front grille at AED 855, while a separate green front bumper grille is listed at AED 730.

That difference alone should make a buyer cautious about generic searches such as “EMKOO grille price”.

Colour, finish, trim level and exact component design can alter the part.

The supplier needs the VIN and vehicle details where application is uncertain, plus photographs when the external component has several visually similar versions.

EMKOO mirror replacement can be surprisingly expensive

The public UAE catalogue lists a right-hand EMKOO mirror at AED 1,360.

That is a useful reminder that exterior body parts are not always simple pieces of metal or plastic.

A modern mirror may contain:

• glass;
• folding mechanism;
• indicator;
• wiring;
• camera;
• blind-spot-related hardware;
• heating;
• memory or electrical adjustment.

Not every EMKOO specification contains every feature.

So when a supplier quotes a mirror, ask whether the price covers the complete assembly or only the mirror housing.

A housing and a complete electrically equipped mirror are not the same purchase.

GS3 EMZOOM headlights are a very different price proposition

A current UAE supplier listing gives the GAC GS3 EMZOOM right headlight at AED 2,800. The listing was shown as sold out when checked, which is itself useful information about availability.

This is one of the clearest examples of why “GAC spare parts are affordable” is too vague to be useful.

A routine oil filter can be AED 55.

A headlight can be AED 2,800.

Both are GAC parts.

The difference is not a contradiction. They belong to entirely different technical and supply categories.

A GS3 EMZOOM headlight needs more than a price comparison

Before buying that AED 2,800 headlight—or any cheaper alternative—establish what is actually included.

Ask:

• Is it the complete headlight?
• Is the LED hardware included?
• Are control modules included?
• Are brackets intact?
• Is it new or used?
• Is it genuine or aftermarket?
• Does it match the exact specification?
• Is programming required?
• Is calibration required?
• Is the connector identical?
• What is the warranty?
• What happens if it does not communicate with the vehicle?

A headlight can physically fit and still be electrically wrong.

GS3 EMZOOM rear-light prices are much lower

The same supplier catalogue lists a GS3 EMZOOM inner rear lamp at AED 599 and an outer right rear lamp at AED 799.

That gives us an interesting comparison.

The front headlight: AED 2,800.

The rear lighting examples: AED 599–799.

Again, these are not apples-to-apples components. Front lighting can incorporate more sophisticated hardware, and the exact specification matters.

Still, the comparison is useful for understanding why owners should not estimate an accident repair by multiplying one lighting price across the car.

GS3 EMZOOM fenders are more predictable

A public UAE listing gives both left- and right-hand GS3 front fenders at AED 435.

That is much easier to interpret than a complex electronic component.

But even here, AED 435 is not the installed repair cost.

A body shop may still need to:

• remove the damaged fender;
• transfer trim;
• transfer liner or hardware;
• fit the replacement;
• correct panel gaps;
• paint the panel;
• blend adjacent panels;
• refit the bumper or headlight if removed.

The panel is only one line of the repair.

EMPOW parts: the sedan has a different repair profile

The current UAE EMPOW listing identifies a 1.5-litre turbo engine, 170 hp and a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

That powertrain information matters when sourcing service and drivetrain components.

It also explains why a buyer should be careful with generic “GAC 1.5 turbo” searches.

Engine displacement alone does not prove that a component belongs to the same application.

The supplier should match the vehicle, powertrain and part reference.

EMPOW public parts pricing is thinner

The UAE public catalogue currently has a much smaller visible EMPOW selection than the GS8, GS3 EMZOOM or EMKOO catalogues. One public example is a rear brake pad at AED 350, although that listing was marked sold out when checked. Other visible items include exterior spoilers rather than a broad mechanical inventory.

This creates an important sourcing point.

A small online catalogue does not prove that parts are unavailable in the UAE.

It means that public online pricing is less complete.

For less commonly listed EMPOW components, a VIN-based enquiry may produce a more useful result than searching for a generic retail price.

The UAE GAC network matters when comparing genuine parts

The current Gargash GAC network lists parts and service contacts across locations including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while its aftersales pages direct customers towards model-specific service and genuine-parts support.

That creates two distinct sourcing routes.

There is the authorised network, where the emphasis is vehicle-specific identification and genuine parts.

Then there are independent UAE suppliers, where buyers may find used, aftermarket or independently sourced components.

Neither route makes every part universally suitable.

The sensible comparison is:

exact fitment + part condition + availability + warranty + total installed cost.

Genuine does not automatically mean the quotation is complete

A genuine GAC part can still be quoted incorrectly.

Suppose a genuine headlight costs AED 2,800.

That does not answer whether:

• installation is included;
• the control module is included;
• calibration is included;
• the old component needs coding;
• the supplier has physical stock;
• delivery is included;
• VAT is included.

“Genuine” answers one question about provenance.

It does not answer every question about the repair.

Aftermarket GAC parts need a more specific conversation

Aftermarket is not a quality verdict.

Some aftermarket manufacturers produce useful replacement components. Others may vary significantly in materials, tolerances, electronics or finish.

For a bumper, the critical concerns may include mounting accuracy, material quality, sensor openings and panel fit.

For a headlight, the stakes are different: beam pattern, electrical compatibility, module quality and long-term sealing become more important.

The category alone tells you surprisingly little.

The manufacturer, specification, warranty and actual fitment tell you much more.

Used GAC parts can make financial sense—sometimes

Used parts are particularly relevant where a genuine new assembly is expensive and a suitable donor component is available.

That can apply to:

• body panels;
• doors;
• mirrors;
• headlights;
• tail lamps;
• interior components;
• some mechanical assemblies.

But used describes history, not quality.

Ask about:

• donor model;
• model year;
• mileage where relevant;
• accident history;
• flood exposure;
• reason for dismantling;
• storage;
• testing;
• condition;
• warranty;
• return terms.

For electronics, ask another question:

Has the part been tested on a compatible vehicle or verified through an appropriate diagnostic process?

The cost of the wrong GAC part is larger than its price

A wrong part can create a remarkably expensive little chain reaction.

You order it.

The workshop removes the old component.

The new component does not fit.

The supplier needs photographs.

The part has to go back.

Another one is ordered.

The vehicle sits in the workshop.

Labour may have to be repeated.

And if the component requires coding or calibration, there may be another diagnostic appointment.

Suddenly a AED 100 saving has become an expensive delay.

That is why VIN confirmation is not administrative fussiness.

It is cost control.

UAE heat matters, but diagnosis still comes first

GAC vehicles in the UAE operate in high ambient temperatures, heavy traffic and substantial air-conditioning demand.

Those conditions are relevant when investigating cooling, A/C, battery and electrical complaints.

But “the UAE is hot” is not a diagnosis.

If an engine runs hot, the workshop should investigate coolant level, leaks, radiator condition, thermostat operation, water-pump performance, fan operation and control signals as appropriate.

If an A/C system becomes weak, pressure, refrigerant charge, compressor operation, condenser condition, airflow and electrical control should be considered before replacing expensive components.

Heat is context.

Testing is diagnosis.

GAC cooling-system parts should be priced after the fault is established

A cooling-system quotation can go wrong in two directions.

The workshop may replace a radiator when the actual issue is elsewhere.

Or the buyer may search for the cheapest radiator before establishing whether the radiator is actually defective.

For an overheating complaint, useful checks can include:

• coolant level;
• visible leaks;
• pressure testing;
• thermostat behaviour;
• cooling-fan operation;
• radiator airflow;
• radiator flow where appropriate;
• water-pump operation;
• temperature data;
• combustion-gas testing where symptoms justify it.

The part should follow the diagnosis.

Not the other way round.

A/C parts can be another false economy

GAC models use multiple components to produce cabin cooling: compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device, pressure sensors, refrigerant, oil and electronic controls.

A weak A/C system therefore does not automatically mean a failed compressor.

In the UAE, that matters.

Replacing a compressor without establishing the cause can leave the original fault untouched while adding a large parts and labour bill.

Ask the workshop what test established the failed component.

That one question can change the entire quotation.

Public UAE GAC parts-price snapshot

The following figures are public UAE supplier listing observations checked in September 2026. They should be used as reference points, not universal UAE retail prices.

These figures come from public UAE listings and several items were shown as out of stock when checked.

That stock information is not a footnote.

It is part of the price.

Availability can be more important than a £—sorry, AED—difference

A supplier offering a component for AED 100 less is not necessarily offering the better buying option if the part is unavailable for three weeks.

For a daily-use car, downtime has a practical cost.

For a vehicle waiting on insurance repair, it can affect the entire repair schedule.

For an older or less commonly stocked GAC component, the choice may involve:

• authorised genuine part;
• independent new part;
• used genuine component;
• special order;
• regional sourcing;
• repair of the existing component.

The right decision depends on the component and the vehicle's remaining ownership horizon.

What should be on a GAC spare-parts quotation?

A useful quotation should separate the component from everything else.

This is particularly important for headlights, mirrors, modules, sensors and hybrid-system components.

For a simple oil filter, the quotation can be simple.

For a complete lighting assembly, it should not be.

Before You Click Buy: identify the GAC properly

Before ordering any significant GAC replacement component, send the supplier:

VIN

Model

Model year

Trim

Engine or hybrid powertrain

Transmission where relevant

Left/right side

Front/rear

Existing part number

Photograph of the old component

Photograph of connectors or labels

For body parts, add clear photographs of the damaged vehicle.

For electronics, photograph the identification label without guessing what the number means.

The supplier can then check the application against its catalogue.

A useful buyer decision matrix

The matrix is deliberately not a ranking.

Different parts create different risks.

When does a GAC repair become economically questionable?

The answer is not simply “when the part costs a lot”.

Consider:

vehicle value + overall condition + remaining ownership period + repair cost + labour + parts availability + warranty + likelihood of additional faults.

A GS8 with good maintenance history may justify a substantial repair that would make little sense on a heavily neglected older car.

Likewise, replacing a relatively expensive headlight on a newer GS3 EMZOOM can be entirely sensible if the rest of the vehicle is sound.

The repair decision belongs to the vehicle as a whole, not one invoice line.

The authorised route and independent sourcing solve different problems

For a newer GAC still covered by applicable warranty, an authorised service route may be particularly relevant because vehicle history, warranty conditions and manufacturer-specified parts and procedures can matter.

GAC's current regional aftersales information provides model-specific service and genuine-parts pathways, while the UAE Gargash network publishes dedicated parts and service contacts.

Independent suppliers, meanwhile, can broaden the sourcing options.

That may include used components, aftermarket parts and components not displayed through a dealer's public catalogue.

The buyer's job is not to pick a category before seeing the problem.

It is to match the sourcing route to the component and the vehicle.

Why part numbers still need checking

A part number is valuable evidence.

It is not a magic password.

A number may have been superseded, cross-referenced or used across more than one application. Some online listings also contain catalogue descriptions that are less precise than the manufacturer's own parts system.

For expensive components, use:

VIN → model/application → existing part number → catalogue confirmation → physical comparison → installation/testing.

For a headlight or electronic module, that sequence is far safer than “the connector looks the same”.

What the workshop should check before replacing an expensive GAC part

For an engine complaint:

• scan for faults;
• inspect oil and coolant;
• check leaks;
• measure relevant pressures;
• consider compression or leak-down testing where appropriate;
• inspect live data;
• road-test where safe.

For a gearbox complaint:

• scan;
• inspect fluid;
• check adaptation and live data where applicable;
• assess mechanical and electrical symptoms;
• road-test.

For a cooling complaint:

• pressure test;
• inspect fan operation;
• check thermostat and coolant circulation;
• inspect radiator and hoses;
• verify temperature readings.

For an electronic component:

• confirm communication;
• inspect power and ground;
• check connectors;
• verify application;
• establish coding/calibration requirements.

The exact test list depends on the fault.

There is no virtue in performing ten irrelevant tests just to make an invoice look technical.

Why GAC spare-parts prices change so quickly

Three things move the UAE number around.

Stock. A part physically sitting in the UAE can have a different practical cost from a special-order component.

Specification. Hybrid, turbo, trim, facelift and equipment differences can change the part.

Supply route. Genuine dealer stock, independent new parts, used parts and imported components do not carry identical pricing or warranty arrangements.

That means a September 2026 public listing is evidence of a market observation at that moment.

It is not a promise that the same component will cost the same next month.

The GAC model matters more than the badge

The four models in this guide demonstrate the point neatly.

The GS8 can lead buyers towards larger mechanical assemblies, turbo components and sophisticated electronic equipment.

The EMKOO introduces petrol and hybrid powertrain differences.

The EMPOW has its own 1.5-litre turbo and wet dual-clutch configuration.

The GS3 EMZOOM can produce surprisingly high replacement costs for lighting despite its smaller vehicle size.

So “GAC parts price” is not really one search intent.

It is a family of searches joined by the same badge.

Where PartFinder UAE fits into the buying process

For a buyer comparing GAC replacement options, the useful starting point is a properly identified vehicle rather than a generic model name.

Give the supplier the VIN, exact model and year, engine or hybrid configuration, existing part number where available and photographs of the component. Then compare the actual part at PartFinder UAE, availability, warranty, delivery and installation requirements.

That makes a marketplace search considerably more useful because the objective is not merely finding a GAC part.

It is finding the part that belongs on this GAC.

The practical rule

Do not ask for the price of a GAC part until you know exactly which GAC part you need.

The UAE market already shows why. A GS8 oil filter can appear at AED 55, an EMKOO rear bumper at AED 585, a GS3 EMZOOM fender at AED 435 and a GS3 EMZOOM headlight at AED 2,800. Those figures are all genuine observations from public UAE listings checked in September 2026, but they describe completely different components, specifications and buying risks.

For anything expensive, identify the vehicle by VIN, establish the exact application, check the existing part reference, ask what the quoted assembly actually contains and separate the component price from labour, delivery, diagnostics, paint, calibration and supporting parts.

The cheapest number is interesting.

The correct number for the correct part is what actually matters.
