How important is buying from an authorized dealer for warranty to actually be honored?

I learned this lesson the hard way a couple years ago so figured I'd ask before making the same mistake twice. Bought an Amaron battery from some random auto accessories shop in the industrial area, price was great and the guy assured me the warranty was valid everywhere. Fast forward fourteen months when the battery started failing and Amaron apparently wouldn't honor the warranty because the shop wasn't an authorized distributor and the serial number wasn't registered properly in their system. The shop itself had conveniently relocated somewhere unknown so I was just out of luck and had to buy a new battery anyway. So this time around I'm specifically looking for an authorized Amaron battery dealer Sharjah to make sure everything is legit and the warranty registration is done properly at the time of purchase. I've seen car battery replacement sharjah come up in my searches and they seem to list themselves as authorized for multiple brands including Amaron which is reassuring but I'm wondering if anyone here has actually bought through them and had to make a warranty claim later. Did the process go smoothly or was there still hassle involved? Also curious how the warranty actually works in practice, like if the battery dies do they come to you for testing or do you have to somehow get the car to them? Just want to understand the logistics before I commit rather than finding out the hard way again.
