I drove up to the pump at Costco and filled the tank. When I turned the key, the car wouldn't start.
While waiting for AAA the Costco guys offered to jump start me (it didn't seem like a battery issue since the radio, lights and dash all lit up and worked). After a minute hooked up to their battery, the car turned over (of course).
So, I was able to drive home, but I'm not sure what to make of this.
I have the car attached to my new (hadn't hooked it up yet) CTek trickle charger.
Assuming it starts in the morning, should I just drive over to AutoZone/PepBoys and get a new battery and forget this ever happened, or should I take this to my mechanic and pay him to look 'under the hood'?
While I can't remember the last time the battery was changed, I haven't until now had any problems starting the car in recent memory (ie this isn't a creeping problem, but a sudden occurrence).
Thanks for your thoughts.
