I just drove my car home from the shop from getting the transmission and driveshaft replace. I get home and now it will not start but my lights and everything works. What would that be? Please

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Since the vehicle was just apart, it sounds like they may have left a battery terminal loose, forgot to tighten the ground wire to the engine, or left the wire on the starter loose.

Have you contacted them with this issue? I feel they should be responsible if it is anything related to what they did or worked on.

Let me know.
