Your car won't start – let Toyota of N Charlotte help!

It’s happened to all of us – you rush out to your car to get your day started, slide the key into the ignition, and are met with dead silence. Your car won’t start, and you have no idea why! Don’t let it ruin your entire day; our Charlotte Toyota Service Center is here to help you figure out the cause behind this annoyance and get you back on the road in no time with our efficient and affordable auto service. Let’s look at some of the most common reasons your car won’t start! 

Our Charlotte Toyota Service techs examine the most common culprits 

The first big reason your car won’t start could be because of the battery – it’s usually the culprit, especially if your car is in good condition and you’ve stayed up to date on routine car maintenance in Charlotte. Here are some of the reasons your battery can be the explanation as to why your car won’t start: 
  • It's dead! You may have left a light on in the cabin overnight or just have a bad battery, but if you turn the key and hear silence, you probably have a dead battery and your car isn't going anywhere. If you know how to jump start a battery you can get your car into our Toyota Service Center in Charlotte for a replacement; if not, you probably need to have a tow truck bring your ride in! 
  • You have loose battery cables. Before you assume that your car won't start because of a dead battery, check the cables to make sure they're snugly attached to the car battery. Our Charlotte Toyota Service techs are happy to check for you if you want to give them a call! 
The battery isn’t the only reason your car won’t start, though! Did you check your fuel supply? If your car is out of gas, you definitely won’t be hitting the road anytime soon. If you’re having problems with your fuel gauge needle, bring it into the Toyota of N Charlotte auto service center to have our techs examine it!

Here are a few more reasons your car won’t start – like we said, if you can’t get it running then have it towed to our Charlotte Toyota Service Center to have our techs take a closer look! 
  • You have bad spark plugs – when these fail, your engine can't get the spark it needs to turn over! 
  • You have problems with your oil; either it's too dirty to function, or you don't have enough of it! Remember to schedule your Charlotte oil changes on a routine basis.
  • The ignition switch has gone bad. If you jiggle your keys and that helps the car get started, you probably need a new ignition switch. 
If your car won’t start and you need our help, give us a call! Our auto service center in Charlotte is happy to get you back on the road as quickly and affordably as possible. You can reach us at (888) 378-1214 today!
