If your car is not starting, rest assured that we are here to help. Our service team is on hand to assist with diagnostics and repairs to help get your car back on the road. Even before you call for service, you might be able to get some sense of your car's problems based on its signs and symptoms.
A small part in the car that can cause big problems is the ignition. The ignition contains coils that usually deliver energy from the battery to the engine. If the coils break, the ignition won't be able to bring currents and voltage to the engine. When that happens, the car won't be able to run until you get the part replaced.
If the battery on your car dies, you will need to have your car brought in for service. The battery has an average lifespan of about 50,000 to 60,000 miles or approximately four years. However, the lifespan of your car's battery is subject to many different factors. Continually exposing the battery to freezing wintertime temperatures or hot summer temperatures can negatively impact its longevity. The battery can also be drained by leaving lights on. You can test the battery's power at home or have a technician test its power to see if a dead battery is causing your car not to start.
The starter is another small part that can lead to your car not working. A telltale sign that the starter is the problem is if you hear a clicking sound when you attempt to start the car. However, the engine won't turn over if the starter is broken. The starter can break down with age, which is why it's important to keep up with routine maintenance inspections. If the starter does break, our technicians can replace it with a new part.
The engine has a fuel filter with the important role of cleaning contaminants from the fuel that circulates through the car. The engine fuel filter also allows sufficient amounts of clean air into the fuel system, which also helps the engine perform smoothly. If you haven't had the fuel filter in the engine checked recently, contact a technician for an inspection. The fuel filter should be cleaned sometime between 20,000 and 40,000 miles.
The gas tank can also run out of fuel, which will cause your car to stop working. This problem can be prevented by keeping track of the gas gauge and making sure to fill your car with gas before it gets too low.
