Real-World Scenario

Car sat unused for two weeks and won't start? Modern vehicles draw a small amount of power even when parked — dashboard clocks, alarm systems, and keyless entry modules all drain the battery slowly. After two weeks, a borderline battery will be flat. We can start it and test whether you need a replacement.

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.
