πŸš— Broken Down in Lincoln? Here’s What to Do Next

By Andrews Car Centre – Trusted Local Garage for Breakdown Repairs in Lincoln


Breaking down is stressful — whether it happens on your driveway, during the school run, or halfway through a commute. But don’t panic. If you’ve broken down in Lincoln, you’ve got options — and Andrews Car Centre is here to help.

We’re an experienced local garage on Dixon Street, offering fast diagnostics and breakdown repairs, often without the need for recovery. Here’s what to do if your vehicle won’t start, has cut out, or just isn’t running right.


🧭 Step 1: Stay Safe

If you’ve broken down at the roadside:

  • Pull over somewhere safe (if possible)

  • Turn on your hazard lights

  • Stay in the vehicle if it's safer than getting out

  • Call for help — either a breakdown service or local garage

If you're at home or in a car park, safety risks are lower — but your next step is still important.


🧰 Step 2: Try Basic Checks

You might be able to spot the problem straight away:

  • Completely dead? May be a flat battery

  • Clicking sound? Starter motor or battery issue

  • Dash lights but no crank? Could be immobiliser, clutch switch or ignition fault

  • Engine turns but doesn’t start? Fuel, spark or sensor issue

  • Cut out while driving? May point to alternator, crank sensor or fuel delivery

If you’re not confident, skip to step 3 — don’t risk making it worse.
