You Turn the Key & Hear Nothing

This is common for a car that won't start. Typically, it means that the battery is dead, but it may mean something else. The starter may have gone bad or there could be a problem with the ignition switch that sends the signal to the starter. To diagnose this problem, we typically start by testing the battery and move on from there.

Engine Cranks But Car Won't Start

This is a good indication that the battery and starter are working, but the engine isn't getting what it needs to run. This could mean that the spark plugs aren't firing the way their supposed to, which may be because they're bad, an ignition coil pack isn't working, or the computer has a problem. Sometimes, solving this problem is as simple as adding gas to an empty tank or replacing a clogged fuel filter. Once again, a certified technician can tell you exactly what the problem is and what's needed to get it fixed right the first time.
