Drove to Yas Island and my Sierra's transmission overheated, now I need a GMC guy in Abu Dhabi


Took the family for a weekend at Yas and on the way back to Dubai my 2017 Sierra's transmission temp gauge started climbing in traffic near the Sheikh Zayed Bridge, I limped it to a petrol station and the fluid smells burnt, called two Dubai shops I know and they both said don't risk driving it all the way back, better to find someone local in Abu Dhabi who actually knows the 8L90 transmission. I've never had to find a workshop outside Dubai before and honestly the first few numbers I tried from Google either didn't answer or said they'd never opened a GM truck transmission before, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence when the truck's stuck outside a ADNOC station, so I'm really hoping someone here can recommend a professional GMC repair service Abu Dhabi that can flush the system, check for damage, and give me an honest answer on whether I need a rebuild or just a fluid change and a cooler upgrade before I drive it back. If you've had a Sierra or Yukon transmission issue sorted properly in the capital, I'd really appreciate a shop name or even a landmark nearby, I'm currently sitting in a cafe waiting for a tow truck and I'd rather send it somewhere that knows these trucks than roll the dice.
