Last night I finally understood why people keep a jump starter in the boot. I had dinner with friends in Al Barsha, and when I came back to my Mitsubishi Pajero the dashboard remained completely black. No click, no sound, nothing. It was almost 11pm, my phone was at 12 percent, and the parking lot was half empty, so I honestly felt a bit stuck. I called my insurance helpline first, and they said a truck would arrive within 90 minutes, which felt very long when you are standing alone in a car park. In the end a friend stayed with me and we waited for someone to come and jump start it. Now I am thinking ahead for the next time, because it will probably happen again if I don't replace the battery soon. A colleague told me Amaron is a solid choice for the summer heat, and I looked at a page on to understand how the service side works, but I would rather hear from people who have really used it. Has anyone here tried Fast Amaron battery roadside assistance in Dubai, and how long did they actually take to reach you? Do they bring the battery with them and fit it right there, or do they only do a jump start and tell you to visit a shop later? Is it cheaper to call them out than to drive in when the car still starts, or do they charge extra for coming to you at night? I also wonder if they test the old battery first on the spot, because I wouldn't want to buy a new one if the real problem is the alternator. What about the warranty, is it the same when they fit it at the roadside as it is in a shop? And does the car need any reset after fitting, since mine is not very old? If you have a number you saved, a good or bad story, or one thing you wish you knew before calling, please share it. Thanks a lot, I will read every reply.
