Battery died at the worst possible time, who do you call in Al Nahda?

So my car battery decided to completely give up yesterday right outside the grocery store, which was just fantastic timing as always. I was stuck in the heat with a trunk full of melting groceries and no jumper cables, and calling the dealership felt like overkill for something this simple. A colleague told me to look for a mobile mechanic instead of waiting hours for a tow truck. I remembered seeing 800sayara mentioned somewhere and gave it a quick search on my phone, and that's how I stumbled on a Quick auto mechanic service near Al Nahda. The guy actually showed up in about half an hour, tested the battery, confirmed it was dead, and had a replacement with him. The price was fair and I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of just because I was stranded. Now I'm wondering if anyone else keeps a mobile mechanic on speed dial for situations like this, because I'd rather have a contact ready than panic next time. Also, random question, do you usually tip these guys or is that not a thing here?
