When I turn the car to start it doesn't turn over. Took it to auto zone. Young kid was working and put the tester on it. First he said it was the starter then a week later it was the alternator not passing the test. I only get paid once a month and cant afford to keep buying everything they say it is every time. Please help me out thanks

Have the battery checked for condition including load test. Most places do for free. They can check charging system at same time. If you can jump it and it starts may be a battery or charging problem.

I have took it to auto zone they did the testing. And said it was a bad altenater. So I went and bought a new one and put it on the car. Took the batter and had it. Tested. It was low so I letter it and they changed it. Come home put it in and still the same thing. When you turn the key to start it doesn't want to turn over and start. Please help. Thanks
