My car won’t start, what should I do?

My car won’t start, what should I do? Why is my engine clicking but not starting? Do I need a new battery if my car won’t start?

If your vehicle won’t start, the issue may be related to the battery or starter motor. The type of sound your car makes when trying to start can help identify the problem. Below are common causes and recommended solutions.

Rapid Clicking Sound When Starting:

• This is caused by the starter motor solenoid firing but not getting enough power to turn the engine.

• Likely due to a discharged (flat) battery or a failing battery with dead cells.

• Even using jump leads may not help if the battery is completely dead.

• If your battery is over 3-4 years old, replacement is recommended.

Single Click Sound When Starting:

• This indicates the starter motor solenoid is firing, but the starter motor is not turning.

• The starter motor may be seized or worn out, requiring replacement.

• A technician will confirm the issue before proceeding with repairs.
