My old Punto's battery is finally giving up after about three years, and I'm starting to look around for a replacement. I've heard some horror stories about garages installing the wrong spec or old stock batteries that die within months, so I want to get it right the first time. I've been browsing a few options online, including a site that lists options for my model, but I'd rather hear from actual owners about their experiences. Specifically, I'm trying to find trusted Fiat battery dealers in Sharjah because I'd prefer to just drive there and have them handle the fitting rather than messing around with it myself in this heat. Anyone have a go-to spot near the industrial area that won't try to overcharge me just because it's an Italian car? Also, do these newer Fiats need any kind of reset after a battery change or is it straightforward?
