Wanted to follow up on a post I made last week stressing about my wife's Lexus battery situation. Long story short, I ended up calling the Accomplished Al Wasl Battery Installation Service By Battery Zone UAE because a couple of you messaged me directly saying they'd had good experiences. Figured I'd share how it went in case anyone else in the neighborhood is dealing with the same thing. Guy came to my villa around 5pm as promised, which was already a good sign because I've had so many no shows before. He tested the old battery and showed me the readings on his device, 380 CCA when it should be over 600, so definitely dead. Asked if I wanted a Japanese brand or something European and explained the price difference without any pressure. Went with the mid range option, took him maybe 20 minutes to swap it out, and here's the part I was worried about: he actually knew to reconnect the battery saver thing so my wife didn't lose her radio presets or seat memory. Also cleaned the terminals which I didn't even ask for. Total cost was about what I expected for a mobile service, maybe 50 dirhams more than driving somewhere but totally worth it for the convenience. Car starts like new now. Just wanted to say thanks to those who recommended them and hopefully this helps someone else who's been putting off the same job.
