Thinking of replacing my battery before summer – any mobile service tips?

My car's battery is about three years old now and with Dubai summer around the corner, I've heard heat kills batteries fast so I'm thinking of being proactive instead of waiting to get stranded somewhere in Barsha Heights. I know there are mobile services that come to your home or office, but I'm not sure how to pick a good one – do they usually carry multiple brands or just whatever they have in the van? I was looking at https://www.batteryzoneuae.com/car-battery-replacement-al-barsha-heights/ and it seems like they offer on-the-spot replacement, but I'd love to know from anyone who's used a similar service whether they test your alternator too or just swap the battery and leave. Also, is it worth paying extra for an AGM battery over a standard one for a daily driver that doesn't have start-stop? Just trying to avoid any surprises before the really hot weather hits. Thanks.
