Business Bay Bentley owners, any battery specialist recommendations?

I'm hoping there are some fellow Bentley owners on here who work in the Business Bay area because I've got a bit of a situation and I could really use some local knowledge. My 2018 Continental GT has been giving me trouble for the past week, the battery warning keeps popping up on the display and the car feels like it's taking just a fraction longer to start than it used to. I know I need to get it sorted before it leaves me stranded, but I'm really not keen on taking it to the dealership if I can avoid it. I work in Business Bay and my schedule is absolutely packed, so I don't really have the time to drive all the way out to the industrial areas where most of the specialist garages seem to be. I've been looking for someone who can do a proper battery replacement without me having to take a whole day off work. I've heard that Bentleys can have complex battery systems and the main one needs to be properly coded to the car's computer, so I definitely need someone who knows what they're doing. I've been searching around and I'm hoping there are some trusted Bentley battery installation in Business Bay specialists that I can just pop into during a lunch break or after work. Has anyone here used a specialist in or around Business Bay for their Bentley battery replacement and had a good experience? I'd really appreciate any recommendations because I'm getting a bit stressed about this and don't want to leave it too long.

Modern Bentley Continental GTs rely heavily on complex dual-battery setups, so when that warning pops up alongside a sluggish start, it is usually the auxiliary or main starter AGM battery reaching the end of its life—especially in Dubai's high heat. You definitely do not need to pay main dealership prices; there are several highly reputed independent European specialist workshops near Business Bay and Al Quoz (like Apex or RMA Motors) that can easily scan, replace, and properly register a new battery to the vehicle's ECU.

Have you tested the battery voltage yet to see if it is simply a aging cell, or could it be an alternator charging issue?
