Our car will not start at times. We have had the mechanic check the alternater, the starter, the battery. We turn the key and the lights will all light up but the engine will not turn over. We then have someone tap on the alternater and it will usually start.
Do you have any idea what is the problem.

Are you sure tapping on the alternator or the starter? If its the starter its no good could try cleaning or replacing the brushes
