Real-World Scenario
Vehicle alarm going off and draining the battery? A faulty alarm module can cycle continuously, draining your battery overnight. We can disable the alarm temporarily, start your vehicle, and advise you on getting the alarm system serviced.
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.
