Car battery replacement in Al Majaz

Al Majaz wraps around the southern shore of Khalid Lagoon in three parts, Al Majaz 1, 2 and 3. It is family apartment country: mid and high-rise blocks, schools and nurseries close by, and basements where the flat's bay takes one car while the second fights for a space outside. In the evenings the Waterfront, the fountain, Al Majaz Park and the restaurants along the Corniche pull in half of Sharjah, and the streets behind them slow to walking pace.

Second cars are where the battery calls come from. Parked on the street in full sun and used for the nursery run and the supermarket, they rarely see a journey long enough to recharge. Evening congestion makes it worse, because twenty minutes of crawling with the AC and headlights on takes more out of a weak battery than the alternator returns at idle. Batteries in these cars tend to fail quietly: a slow crank one morning, then nothing on the next hot afternoon.

Corniche Street through Al Majaz 1, 2 and 3 and Jamal Abdul Nasser Street in Al Majaz 2 are blue-sign zones, charged every day of the week from 8am to midnight, and empty bays are scarce after sunset. If your car is on the street, the technician stops alongside with his hazard lights on and works fast. For basement cars, give the building name and bay, and warn the watchman, since many blocks keep the visitor entrance locked.

From Al Taawun the route is Al Khan Street, then Al Intifada Street to Corniche Street or Jamal Abdul Nasser Street. Evening traffic around the Waterfront, heaviest from Thursday to Saturday, is what stretches the trip.
