My Car Won’t Start
Few things are more frustrating than turning the key (or pressing the button) and getting nothing from your car. There are several reasons why your car might not start, and our Sunshine Coast mechanic team at Harmac Automotive can diagnose and fix them for you!
Common Causes of Cars Not Starting
- Dead Battery: The most common culprit. Batteries can die due to age, leaving lights on, or a faulty alternator.
- Starter Motor Issues: If you hear a clicking sound but the engine doesn’t turn over, your starter motor might be to blame.
- Fuel System Problems: No fuel getting to the engine due to a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump can prevent your car from starting.
How We Can Help If Your Car Won’t Start
We offer comprehensive diagnostic services to pinpoint the exact cause of your starting issues. Whether it’s replacing a dead battery, fixing the starter motor, or addressing fuel system problems, our skilled auto electricians and mechanics will get your car running smoothly again.
I Have An Oil Leak, What Do I Do?
Oil leaks are not only messy but can also lead to significant engine damage if left untreated. Spotting an oil leak early can save you from costly repairs down the road, so it is important to get it repaired as soon as possible with our Sunshine Coast mechanics.
How We Can Fix Oil Leaks
Our Sunshine Coast mechanics will inspect your vehicle to find the source of the oil leak. We can replace worn gaskets and seals, repair or replace the oil pan, and ensure your oil filter is correctly installed and in good condition.
