Battery died in the Deira parking lot – any trusted services nearby?

    I'm currently sitting in my car in a parking lot near the Deira Gold Souk, and I'm honestly kicking myself because I knew the battery was getting weak but I kept putting off replacing it, and now it's completely dead and I'm stuck here with a car that won't even crank. I've got a few hours before I absolutely need to be somewhere, but I'm really hoping I can get this sorted sooner rather than later because I don't want to be stuck here all afternoon. I've been calling around to a few mobile battery services and some of them have quoted me prices that seem way too high, while others are cheaper but I'm not sure if they're legit or if they'll just sell me some cheap battery that won't last. I'm also a bit nervous about letting a random person work on my car, especially in a busy area like Deira where there are all kinds of services operating. A friend of mine who lives in the area recommended that I look for Expert Battery Service Deira because apparently there are a few reputable places that specialize in this kind of mobile service and actually know what they're doing. The thing that's really stressing me out is that I'm not sure what size battery my car needs – it's a 2016 Toyota Corolla and I think it's a 55B24LS but I'm not 100% sure, and I don't want to end up with the wrong battery that doesn't fit properly or doesn't have enough cranking power. I've managed to find the manual in the glovebox but honestly the specs are a bit confusing and I'm not confident I'm reading it right. Has anyone here used a mobile battery service in the Deira area and had a good experience, and do you have any tips on how to make sure I'm getting the right battery for my car without getting ripped off? I'd really appreciate some quick advice because I need to get this sorted today and I don't want to end up making a bad decision that costs me more in the long run.
