Car Starting FAQs
What does a dead starter sound like?
A dead starter often makes a clicking noise when you try to start your vehicle. It could also remain silent or make whirring or grinding sounds before failing completely. If you notice any of these signs, bring your car to Barnett's Garage for an expert diagnosis.
How do I unlock my steering wheel?
To unlock your steering wheel, press your foot on the brake and gently turn the wheel in the direction with some play. This will relieve tension on the steering column, allowing you to turn the key and unlock the wheel. If you’re having trouble, our professionals can assist you safely.
Battery FAQs
What should I be careful of when changing a car battery?
When changing your battery, avoid letting tools touch both the negative and positive terminals at the same time, as this can cause sparks or damage to your car’s electrical system. Always ensure the battery is securely in place, and attach the negative cable first, followed by the positive. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to call Barnett's Garage for expert help.
What are common mistakes when jumping a car?
A common mistake when jump-starting a car is mixing up the positive and negative cables. This can damage your alternator. Always remember: red to positive, black to negative. Using poor-quality cables, letting cables swing and become detached, and ignoring signs of battery damage can also cause problems.
