How do you even know if a battery shop is trustworthy or just winging it?

This might sound like an odd question but hear me out because I’ve been burned before. Last year I got a battery replaced at a small workshop near my place in Abu Dhabi and within four months it was giving me trouble again, slow starts, warning lights, the whole thing. When I went back they basically shrugged and suggested I needed another replacement which felt completely off given how recently I’d been there. It made me realize I had no real way of evaluating whether a place actually knows what they’re doing or whether they’re just swapping parts and hoping for the best. I started being more deliberate about it this time and spent a while looking into reliable car battery services in Abu Dhabi before making any decisions, partly because I wanted to understand what separates a proper service from a quick fix. Things like whether they test the alternator alongside the battery, whether they match the battery spec to the actual vehicle rather than just going by size, and whether there’s any kind of warranty that means something in practice. I’m not a car person by any stretch so I can’t verify most of this myself which is exactly why it matters who you go to. Anyone else been through the cycle of replacing a battery only to have issues again shortly after? I’m starting to think the first replacement I got was just a poor quality unit sold to me as if it were standard.
