Dashboard will light up. Battery good. Battery for the key also good but when I turn the key to start the car engine wont turn. No noise what so ever. I assume is something b4 starter. Yesterday it happened for the first time when I was at the store, after 30 min it started, when I got home I tried to start it again but nothing, I went in my house to get some tools to take a look at it and when I tried to start it start like 20 times in a row. This morning when I wanted to go to work nothing and it wont start again. None will come out to take a look at it and I don't think its worth it for me to tow it to the dealer so if u guys could help I would appreciate it.
TY VERRY MUCH.

It sounds like you need to test the starter motor, these units can develop a bad spot which can cause the problems you describe.

This article has some good info:
