Main reason car wont start

The Main Reasons Why A Car Won't Start

Here is your list to start with...
1. How are you battery connections and battery?
2. Is you car getting spark to all cylinders?
3. Do you have fuel?
4. Does your engine compression?
These top 4 categories are the main reasons your car won't start.  Each one has a large list of contributing factors.
Your mechanic must be organized when troubleshooting. We start by checking problem area until it can be eliminated or have a solution on how to  fixed it.
Because your car is one huge computer, relaying messages to another computer,
Sometimes a car won't start because of electrical connections.
Electrical wires and battery terminals get dusty.   Corrosion can also interfere with the electrical charge strength. If you are looking under the hood yourself, the first and easiest thing to check is the car battery terminals. If you see "snow" that's where to start.
Typically, if you have no sound at all, no click, just nothing... it is most likely is the electrical connection. A dead battery will grind or click slowly.

Selling your car?

Sellers, make it easier to sell your car.  We will inspect your car to let potential purchasers know it is safe to be on the road.  They can be assured the car they are buying is in good condition structurally and the systems are operating properly.  You will also be made aware of any issues that may scare purchasers away so they can be addressed immediately.  Letting potential purchasers know you had the car checked by a respectable mechanic prior to selling it, will make the difference between your car and another car, selling more quickly.  This will ensure the car they are buying is a reliable vehicle, from an honest seller.
