Turn key... engine will start. Please don't get your car towed to a mechanic for no reason. This could save you $200 or more. (Even if the indicator on your battery is shining blue you should do this since the indicators often don't work. i.e. don't assume your battery is fine if the indicator is blue!)

well that was good advice...to bad he could have used it six years ago. probably on his 3rd battery by now. JK...Welcome to the forum...we need all the advice we can get!
