Discovery 5 left me stranded at the mall - time for a new battery I guess

So there I was at City Centre Sharjah, done with my shopping, kids in the back, and the car just wouldn't start. Dead as a doornail. Had to call roadside assistance and wait nearly two hours with two cranky kids, not my finest moment honestly. The guy who came gave me a jump and told me the battery is pretty much finished and I shouldn't rely on it anymore. I've had this Discovery 5 for about four years now and this is the first real issue I've had with it, so I can't complain too much. But now I'm in that situation where I need to get this sorted quickly because I use the car daily for school runs and work. I know Land Rovers are notoriously sensitive to battery issues and I've read that if you don't get the right type and do the proper reset, you can end up with all sorts of electrical gremlins. I've been looking around and asking some friends who drive similar cars and they've pointed me towards a few places in Sharjah that apparently know their way around these British SUVs. I'm really just looking for someone who won't mess around and will get it done right the first time. From what I've gathered, finding the Top Land Rover battery service in Sharjah isn't too difficult if you know where to look, but I'd still appreciate any firsthand recommendations because I don't want to end up back at the mall with a dead battery in a month.
