So I got into my car today to go to work…and my car doesn’t start! My car is a 2008 Nissan Sentra…not used…my grandmother bought it BRAND new in 2008. She gave it to me last December when she moved in with my mom up here in leominster. She wouldn’t be driving here since she probably wouldn’t know her way around and probably would forget…So she lets me drive her car. I get oil changes when it needs it, I put gas in it all the time, I keep total upkeep on the car.
So I have NO IDEA why my car wont start. The lights work and the horn…but when I turn the key it makes the sound like its about it start but doesn’t actually start. I called my uncle(who is my mechanic) and he said its either the battery or the key. So tomorrow I am going to try and jump start my car to see if its the battery. If not, I’ll drive to my moms house to get my Grams spare key…and by “I’ll drive” i mean my friend will drive me because I’d have no other ride lol
My mom cant drive til like April…because of her siezure she cant drive for 6 months so she got rid of her car.
So that is my dilemma…

It's the battery. Car batteries only last about 3 years (4 if you're *really* lucky). And when batteries go, they just go very suddenly. Cold weather really zaps them too, and is usually what pushes them over the edge. Once you've gotten your car jumped, go to an auto parts store (such as Autozone, Advance, Napa, etc). They'll run a test on on your battery while it's still in the car, and if the battery needs replacing, they'll do it for you at no additional cost.
