Check whether the dashboard lights come on and listen to what happens when you try to start the vehicle. Silence, clicking, slow cranking or an engine that cranks without starting can indicate different causes. Then consult the guide dedicated to starting problems.
It depends on the warning light and how the vehicle behaves. A flashing light, loss of power, vibrations, overheating or an unusual noise require immediate attention.
No. A battery may simply be discharged because something was left switched on, the vehicle was not used for a while or there is a charging-system problem. A test can determine its condition before replacement.
Depending on the work required, Depamec can assist on site or organise part of the vehicle logistics to reduce travel and waiting time.
When the service, the vehicle's condition and the circumstances allow it, Depamec can organise a concierge service to take the vehicle to a garage or specialist.
