I hate car trouble. There’s nothing more frustrating. It has to get fixed and there’s basically nothing you can do about it. This morning I get in my ‘95 Nissan Maxima and drive to work as usual. I needed to run a quick errand so I jump in my car and turn the key. Nothing. At all. I know what you’re thinking. “It’s probably just the battery, Jordan!” It’s not. The radio, lights, and a/c all come on no problem.
So I call Mikes Elite Towing and explain the situation. After asking a couple of questions and having me run through a few things Mike diagnosis that I have an alternator problem. Yikes. So here we are. Now I’m carless for a day or so. I’ll keep you updated. Hope your doing alright.

UPDATE - It turns out that two belts cracked and ruined the battery. Total cost came to just under $300. Not terrible. Not fantastic.
