In the future, it helps if you provide all of the history and symptoms if
you want to cure a condition in the vehicile.

The car needs a new battery. After a battery has been left in a discharged
state for any length of time (like more than a week or two), the plates in
the battery become sulfated and lose their ability to hold a charge.

After you jump start a dead battery, an alternator at idle does not provide
sufficient current to completely charge the battery. The car has to be
driven at higher speeds for at least a half hour, or better yet, put on a
trickle charger for several hours.

Tow truck drivers generally are not good automotive diagnosticians; if they
were, they would be doing more lucrative automotive maintenance and repair
work instead of hooking cars.

He wanted to tow it to the shop. But the car was in my driveway and I just
wanted it out on the street so I turned down the tow and said I'd look at it
myself. I figurered once it go to the shop, they'd find a thousand dollars worth
of repairs for it and I wasn't interested.
