When Your Car Won’t Start: What Local Drivers Need to Know

A car that will not start in Cypress can quickly throw off your plans. This is true whether you are heading down US-290 to work or taking your children to sports at the Berry Center. Some common signs, like a single click from the ignition, silence when you turn the key, or flickering dashboard lights, may point to issues with your starter, alternator, or electrical system. In some cases, you may hear the engine turn over slowly or notice the headlights dim unexpectedly, making it difficult to pinpoint the problem.

It is natural to feel anxious in these moments, especially when you have places to be or people depending on you. Here in Cypress, these symptoms can be caused by everyday wear, high heat's effect on batteries and electronics, or repeated short drives that stress charging systems. Determining whether you need alternator replacement, starter installation, or a battery repair is not simple on your own, so our team begins every visit by asking about your recent driving experiences and running diagnostics tailored for your make and model.

FAQs

Q. "Why is the alternator important?"

The alternator helps the battery maintain power. As the car is driving, it’s gaining power from the engine. During this time, the alternator is charging the battery. When the car stops running, the charge from the alternator allows the battery to continue providing power to the car.
Q. "What does the alternator do?"

As an alternate source of power, the alternator helps many features in the car run. It helps your air conditioning maintain proper airflow, powers the radio, and turns on the headlights, among other things. It can also add power to the engine.
Q. "Where is the alternator located?"

You’ll typically find the alternator near the front of the engine, bolted in with two brackets. One is adjustable (to allow for drive belt-tightening) while the other is fixed.
Q. "What are some signs that my starter is going bad?"

Some common symptoms that your starter is going bad or is dead include: clicking or other odd noises, lights working in your car but the engine won't turn, taking more than one attempt to start, or smoke coming from the hood.
Q. "Do you offer a warranty?"

As part of our Nice difference.® commitment to providing our customers the best auto service experience possible, we also offer a3-year/36,000-mile warranty on all the work that we do. We offer this warranty at every Christian Brothers Automotive nationwide, and it will be honored at any location, regardless of which branch did the initial work.
Q. "What is a Digital Vehicle Inspection?"

With a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) on every visit, you’ll see firsthand photos of your vehicle from under the hood. We’ll let you know if everything is functioning properly or if there are any areas of concern. You can even approve or deny our service recommendations, all straight from your smartphone, or you can, of course, give us a call and we’ll explain our findings in further detail.
