Why My Car Is Not Starting

Why Is My Car Not Starting?

When your car does not start, life comes to an unexpected halt. In some cases, the fix can be quick and easy. In others, it will take more investigating to figure out what the problem truly is. Our service team can help get things sorted out and get you back on the road. Let's look at some common reasons that a car will not start.

Dead Battery

Batteries can die in your vehicle for a variety of reasons. Maybe the headlights were left on, or perhaps a door was left ajar, and the dome light stays on. Extreme temperatures can be the culprit as well. You can tell if your battery is getting weak if the lights are dimmer than usual.

No Gas

Gas gauges are not always accurate. If your car does not start, your tank may be dry. Luckily, this common reason for cars not starting has a simple fix!

Fuel Filter Clog

The gas in your car can only do its job if it can get to the engine. Fuel filter clogs are a common problem. Historically, fuel filters needed to be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Your vehicle may be able to go longer. Our team can inspect your fuel filter and replace it if need be.

Faulty Ignition

If your car is not starting, check to see if your headlights or dome light works. If so, your battery is not the problem, but it may be your ignition. Our service experts can help you determine if this is your issue and get it taken care of.

Starter Problems

Another part that can wear out is your starter. It is a small motor that starts your engine when you turn on your vehicle. Do you hear a clicking noise when you turn your ignition? It is likely an issue with your starter.
