Car will not start
If the starter does not turn at all, the battery or its terminals are the usual suspects. If it cranks but will not fire, fuel and ignition come next. Say in your request exactly what you hear: a click, slow cranking or nothing.

Services that help
-
Battery replacement
A battery swap should include a check of the charging voltage and terminals so the new one does not die for the same reason.
-
Starter and alternator repair
A bad starter shows as a click or slow cranking, a failing alternator as the battery light on the dash and a battery that drains while driving.
-
Auto electrics
An auto electrician traces faults in the wiring, fuses, sensors and control units.

Fuel system repair
Fuel system work covers injectors, the high-pressure pump, the fuel filter and the in-tank pump.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics starts with reading fault codes, but a code only points the way.

Frequently asked questions
Will a jump start help?
If it cranks slowly or the dashboard dims, a jump start often gets you going. Have the battery and charging checked afterwards, or the same thing tends to happen the next morning.
Can a workshop come to the car?
Some workshops do call-outs and some do not. Mention that the car is not drivable, and the replies will show who can come out or arrange a tow.
How much does it cost?
The workshop sets the price. The offer shows the workshop's "from" price; the final price is clear once the car has been looked at. Remondikoda does not set or suggest prices.
Who chooses the workshop?
You do. You see offers with time, price and reviews and choose yourself. Remondikoda does not assign workshops.
