New Alfa Romeo owner in Abu Dhabi – where's the best place for a proper premium oil change?

I've just taken delivery of a used Giulia and honestly, I'm absolutely loving it, but I'm already starting to stress about keeping it properly maintained. I've read that these cars are quite particular about the oil they use, with some sources suggesting the manufacturer recommends changes every 10,000 to 12,000 kilometres, but the hot and dusty conditions here might mean doing it more often to keep the MultiAir system happy . I'm not keen on the dealership prices, but I'm also wary of taking it to just any quick-lube place that might not use the correct spec oil or a proper filter. A friend mentioned that a specialist will use a premium fully synthetic oil that meets Alfa Romeo's exact specifications and is designed to handle high temperatures . I'm basically looking for a workshop that offers a premium Alfa Romeo oil change in Abu Dhabi, where they actually understand the nuances of these Italian engines and don't just treat it like any other car. Has anyone had a good experience with an independent specialist who really knows their way around a Giulia or Stelvio? I'd appreciate any honest recommendations before I commit.
