My Car Won't Start in San Bernardino – What Should I Do?

Don't Panicβ€”There Are Several Common Reasons


Few things are more frustrating than turning the key or pressing the start button and realizing your vehicle won't start. Whether you're at home, work, a shopping center, or parked on the roadside, the problem may be simpler than you think.

Before assuming the worst, there are a few common issues that can prevent your vehicle from starting.

Get Started

The Most Common Causes

Dead Battery

A weak or dead battery is one of the most common reasons a vehicle won't start.

Signs include:

  • Clicking sound when turning the key 
  • Dashboard lights are dim 
  • Interior lights are weak 
  • Engine won't crank 

If your battery is the issue, a professional jump start may get you back on the road.

Out of Fuel

It happens more often than people think.

Fuel gauges aren't always perfectly accurate, and distractions can make it easy to miss the warning light.

If you've run out of gas, we provide mobile emergency fuel delivery.

Keys Locked Inside

Sometimes the vehicle isn't the problemβ€”the keys are.

If you're locked out of your vehicle, we provide professional mobile lockout service.

Mechanical or Electrical Issues

 Sometimes the problem is something more serious, such as:

  • Starter failure 
  • Alternator issues 
  • Ignition problems 
  • Electrical faults 

If a jump start doesn't solve the problem, additional diagnosis or towing may be necessary.

What You Should Do

If your vehicle won't start:

  • Stay somewhere safe. 
  • Avoid repeatedly trying to start the vehicle. 
  • Check whether lights or electronics are working. 
  • Verify that the vehicle is in Park or Neutral. 
  • Call for roadside assistance if you're unsure of the cause.
