Okay so I've been debating this with myself for about two weeks and I figure someone here must have actual experience with this. My Continental GT has been sitting more than usual lately because I've mainly been using the other car for daily commuting, and from what I've read leaving a Bentley idle for extended periods is genuinely bad for the battery because of all the systems running in the background even when the engine is off. The battery isn't completely dead yet but it's been sluggish on cold starts and my gut says it's only a matter of time. Now here's where I'm torn, a few people I know just take their luxury cars to whichever workshop is closest and say it's fine, but I've also heard enough horror stories about incorrect battery types being fitted or the memory reset not being handled properly and then you've got all sorts of weird electrical gremlins showing up weeks later. I was doing some research specific to Sharjah since that's where I'm based and I came across the Certified Bentley Battery Shop Sharjah which seemed to focus specifically on high end European marques rather than being a general workshop that handles everything from Corollas to Continentals. That specialization honestly matters to me more than the price difference because these cars have incredibly sensitive management systems and I'd rather pay a bit more to someone who actually understands the platform. Has anyone in Sharjah specifically dealt with a Bentley battery situation and can you tell me whether the dealer is genuinely worth the premium or whether a good independent specialist does just as thorough a job?
