Has anyone tried Amaron 55D23L battery installation at a shop in Al Kifaf?

oxwinkael	I've been putting this off for way too long and now I'm at the point where I can't ignore it anymore because my 2015 Honda CR-V is starting to show some really worrying signs every time I go to start it in the morning. The engine turns over slowly, there's a slight hesitation before it fires up, and the other day the radio actually reset itself while I was driving which I'm pretty sure is a sign that the voltage is dropping too low under load. I've been reading through various forums and it seems like the 55D23L battery is the correct specification for my car, and from what I've gathered Amaron seems to be one of the more trusted brands here in the UAE because they handle the heat better than some of the cheaper alternatives. I actually came across a website that specifically talks about the 55D23L battery, so I know Amaron makes this exact size, which is reassuring because I've heard horror stories about people getting the wrong battery and then having issues with the terminals not fitting properly or the battery not sitting securely in the tray. What I'm really looking for is a shop that can do a proper Amaron 55D23L battery installation rather than just slapping it in and sending me on my way. I want someone who will actually clean the terminals, apply some anti-corrosion grease, make sure the hold-down bracket is secure, and test the charging system afterward to make sure the alternator is working properly. I've seen a few places around Al Kifaf that advertise batteries, but I honestly don't know which ones are actually competent and which ones just want to take your money and rush you out the door. I live near the Al Kifaf area and I'd really prefer to find somewhere close by rather than driving all the way out to Al Quoz or Sharjah, especially since I'm not sure how much longer this battery is going to hold up. The thing that really worries me is that I've read that if you don't tighten the terminals properly, you can get all sorts of electrical gremlins like flickering lights, intermittent starting issues, and even damage to the car's computer system. I'm not very mechanically inclined myself so I really need to find a shop that knows what they're doing and will take the time to do the job properly. Has anyone here recently had a 55D23L battery installed at a shop in or around Al Kifaf and had a genuinely good experience? I'd love to hear about where you went, how much it cost, and whether they actually did all the proper checks afterward. Also, is there anything I should look out for when choosing a shop, like red flags that suggest they might not be trustworthy? I'm planning to get this done this weekend because I've got a road trip coming up and I really don't want to be stuck somewhere with a dead battery, so any advice would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to share their experience. quote
