Trouble Getting Started – UPDATE

I hate car trouble.  There’s nothing more frustrating.  It has to get fixed and there’s basically nothing you can do about it.  This morning I get in my ‘95 Nissan Maxima and drive to work as usual.  I needed to run a quick errand so I jump in my car and turn the key. Nothing. At all.  I know what you’re thinking. “It’s probably just the battery, Jordan!” It’s not. The radio, lights, and a/c all come on no problem.

So I call Mikes Elite Towing and explain the situation.  After asking a couple of questions and having me run through a few things Mike diagnosis that I have an alternator problem.  Yikes.  So here we are.  Now I’m carless for a day or so.  I’ll keep you updated.  Hope your doing alright.

UPDATE - It turns out that two belts cracked and ruined the battery.  Total cost came to just under $300. Not terrible. Not fantastic.

    Alternator? That’s not too bad. Good luck.
