Popular Service Combinations
Real-World Scenario
Starter motor clicking but engine won't turn? That rapid clicking sound means your starter motor solenoid is engaging but the battery doesn't have enough power to turn the engine. It's almost always a battery issue, and we can test and replace it at your home.
What NOT to Do
Don't repeatedly crank the engine when it won't start — you'll drain the battery completely and may damage the starter motor. Three attempts maximum, then call us.
