Questions

Car Won't Start FAQ

Quick answers before you schedule a visit.

Is a no-start always the battery?

No. The battery is common, but starter, charging, wiring, fuel, ignition, and security faults can create similar symptoms.

Should I jump start it?

A jump may help a weak battery, but repeated jump starts mean the charging system and key-off draw should be tested.
