Car Service: Is A Car Repair Needed For A Car That Wont Start?

Before you call a tow truck to take you to the nearest auto shop for an inconvenient car repair

, a little bit of effort on your part can save your auto mechanic a lot of time trying to guess what happened and why. You might actually avoid a costly car service if you can find the problem yourself.

If your car wont start, here are some simple things to check:

* Headlights? If they are on and are bright, then the battery is working efficiently. Most likely there is a problem with the starter, or something is hampering the course of the electricity from the battery to the starter. The starter takes electricity from the battery and turns the engine over to start the piston explosion process. In this case, a car repair will be necessary to take care of a faulty starter.

* Fuel Gauge? If the motor turns over but wont start, first make sure you havent run out of gas before assuming the worst!

* Compression? Does the engine sound like it is turning over fully, or does it sound too fast or too slow? A broken timing belt or chain will cause the engine to turn over very easily and fast because the compression process is not taking place. You will definitely need to schedule a car repair if this is the case.

* Tires? Are the front tires up against the curb? Sometimes it is hard to turn the key if the tires are in a bind on a curb, or if the car has rolled back a bit after placed in PARK. In this case, turn the steering wheel hard to the right, or try to physically move or rock the car forward to release the key.

At this point you have ruled out the battery, belts, lack of fuel, and position of the tires. If your car still wont start, its time to call that tow truck for an inevitable car repair. When you call for help, be specific about the nature of the "no start" problem you've experienced. Saving your mechanic time should save you dollars on a car repair.
