In December our car wouldn’t start. We had a new battery put in.
Yesterday car wouldn’t start, I am thinking it can’t be the battery again. Our mechanic came over gave the car a jump and suggest we go to the dealership.
The car was taken to the dealership and the mechanic ran test, his conclusion for the car not starting is that it is not being used enough.
That doesn’t sound right to me , we were not charged for the testing. I am afraid something else is wrong.
Has any one experienced this?

Your battery can go down if the car sits too much, especially in the winter. Other than that, I would wonder if a) the battery connections are loose. or b) is there something shorting out and draining the battery.

The car is used at least once a day or more only sat on Saturday and Sunday because it would not start. I feel something is being missed.

i have heard of that. no idea why but my former client once had a Lexus that he was told the same and I had to take it out and drive around twice a week so the daughter could use it when she came to visit for a while.
