Is it the battery?
- Clicking sound or nothing when turning the key: likely battery.
- Dashboard lights dim or flicker: likely battery.
- Engine cranks normally but won't fire: probably not the battery — could be fuel or ignition.
Jump-starting
Connect red to the positive terminals, black from the donor's negative to bare metal on your engine. Start the donor car, wait a few minutes, then try yours. If you're unsure, call us — wrong connections can damage electronics.
If it dies again
A battery that dies twice usually needs replacement, or the alternator isn't charging. We test both and can replace the battery on the spot.
