Why does my car take 3 tries to start?
This morning it took 3 attempts… the first time I could hear the car attempt, but the engine didn’t budge, the second time it ‘nudged’ and then the 3rd time it cranked strong and started. It is very early spring here and this morning was indeed chilly… but we just got over much colder temps that had no effect like the last 3 days.
How long does it take to get car parts in?
I’d expect a job like that to take from one to three weeks, once they get all the parts in. One week if the tech doing the job has done it before, three if not. So figure two weeks to get the parts, that’s 5 weeks total max from the time you took the car to the shop and made the first payment for the engine.
