Frequently asked questions
Why is my car not starting in Hyderabad?
In Hyderabad, the most common reason cars don't start is a dead or weak battery — extreme summer heat (45°C+) degrades batteries faster than other cities. Other common causes are a faulty starter motor (clicking sound when you turn the key), fuel pump failure (engine cranks but doesn't fire), or an immobilizer fault. At Metre Per Second, we perform a free diagnostic check to identify the exact cause and repair it same day.
What should I do if my car won't start?
First, try jumping the car with jump cables — if it starts, the battery is the issue. If it cranks but doesn't fire, it's likely a fuel pump or spark issue. If it's completely dead with no response, it could be the starter motor, fuse, or main relay.
