CAR WON´T START

Car Won’t Start – Inspection Service

Even with today’s highly reliable cars, a no-start problem can still happen. Modern vehicles rely on advanced electronics, which makes quick driveway troubleshooting difficult for most owners. A qualified mobile mechanic can carry out professional diagnostics and give you an upfront repair estimate.

 

Typical causes

When the engine cranks but won’t fire up:

• Fuel pump failure: No fuel reaches the engine even with a full tank.

• Worn spark plugs: Without a spark, combustion cannot begin, so the engine stays off.

• Broken or stretched timing belt: The engine cannot run, and forcing it may cause internal damage.

• Faulty ignition coil: No coil means no high-voltage spark, so the car won’t start.

• Bad camshaft or crankshaft sensors: If they stop sending the right signals, the ignition system won’t trigger.

When nothing happens at all:

• Weak or dead battery / corroded terminals.

• Defective starter motor.

• Ignition switch or wiring problems.

When you hear grinding while turning the key:

• Worn starter: Continuing to crank could damage the system.

 

What you can expect from the service

A certified mobile mechanic will come to your home or workplace and run a complete diagnostic. They’ll examine the ignition, fuel, and charging systems, and check for mechanical issues. Sometimes they’ll try an alternative fuel source (e.g. a shot of carb cleaner). If the car briefly runs, that points to a fuel delivery fault.

You’ll receive a clear, upfront quote. If repairs are needed, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled and the mechanic will bring the necessary tools and parts. All work is backed by warranty.

 

Why this service matters

A car that won’t start isn’t just inconvenient—it must be addressed right away. Ignoring the issue or leaving the vehicle unused can make the problem worse. Prompt diagnostics are the best way to avoid larger, more expensive repairs.

 

Other possible factors

• Transmission interlock: Automatics must be in Park or Neutral. A faulty sensor or linkage can trick the system into thinking the gear is unsafe, preventing the engine from starting.

• Security/immobilizer systems: Modern anti-theft devices sometimes malfunction, keeping the engine from starting even for the rightful owner. Dead key-fob batteries or false alarms may trigger this. Always check dashboard security lights and reset if needed.

By understanding how all these systems interact, you’ll be better prepared when a no-start issue arises.
