    If you have to get a new battery, I would recommend without hesitation the Goodyear place across from the Ceres terminal.
    Several years ago they installed a new battery in my car. When they checked out the new install they determined the real problem was my fanbelt. They tightened the fanbelt, reinstalled the old battery, refunded my money and sent me on my way. No charge.
    When I need tires etc that's where I go. Some places here do know how to get business.

    I fully agree, this tyre center gives to their customers the treatment you will come back again and again. In the past when I had a flat tyre and go there to let it vulcanize that tyre got flat again after a week or so same place when checked out. Without any additional cost the tyre was vulcanized again. Also for aligning the wheels they have the right equipment to perform against low cost.

    The measures to restore a battery are temporary at best. A decent auto/truck battery should last a minimum of 4-5 years (unless you live in UAE). Perhaps shipping a high quality battery via balikbayan box would be wisest? There are plenty of 'sealed' lead-acid batteries available in modern countries that would fit the bill!

    I haven't needed anything from them for a long time so I'm not sure.
    Their outlook on customer service probably has not changed.

    You can also try the Panasonic battery shop across Rmall. Motolite is not my choice any more after the battery broke down in a new car @ month #25. Warranty on battery only one year. Depending which battery you're looking for no need to spend 6k or more.
    Batteries in the afore mentioned shop goes with a warranty of 24 months or more.

    you should try 4G they have most car parts new or used ( the guy there is a good guy and he will set you straight), he had a few chances to screw me and never did, cant say anymore than that, he is on cervantes if im not mistaken, and next to him in hokkaido car parts. both pretty reasonable and open to bargaining if not from the top shelf
