Default quick question

Quick question I had my 06 C6 in for a tire swap. When I went to pick it up it would not start the radio and interior lights worked but no crank. When you hit the start button everything would shut off, after a few seconds everything would come back on.
The shop tried to jump start the car but the same thing would happen we let it sit for ten minutes and than it fired.

I am hoping the shop just left the doors open and the radio on and the battery drained to low to crank. I did notice the lights on the started button were flashing.

The car started this morning. Should I be concerned?

Thanks

So................. you actually LEFT your car at a "tire shop"? Probably acting funny due to being against the rev limiter too many times.

I agree, I've never left my car anywhere except the dealership. If it's back to normal I'd forget about.

They drained the battery. Get a full charge into it ASAP (good excuse for a long sunday drive).
