Default Need some quick help!

Hello everyone,

I was out of country for few month and when I came back my car won't start. When I turn on the engine, I can hear the clunk sound so I figured it's prob somthing wrong with the starter or alternator.

My questions is, can someone recommand me a good private shop in LA area which won't over charge? Any help will be greatly appreciate!!

Regards
Dennis

Jump start the car, or recharge the battery overnight. Your battery is slowly discharge over those few months. No need to go to the shop. Unless you don't know how to jump start or recharge or replace the battery.

^-- Agreed.


Battery is dead. Jump it up and let it run for a good hour or so. Might also want to check the battery terminals for corrosion just in case.

Good luck!
