I

Mechanic: Good morning.
You: Good morning. I've got a problem with my car. It's not starting (fact)
Mechanic: Have you tried jump-start it? The battery might be down.
You: Yes, I have but it just won't start (despite my attempts, the car doesn't seem to want to start).

Hope it's clear enough.

Welcome to Using English!

Most people don't send written correspondence to their mechanic, but ...
How do I write an email to the mechanic?
How do I write a letter to the mechanic?

We don't write a mail, but we send letters by mail (or by post if you speak another dialect of English.)

Male is a gender.

Also, please remember that "I" as pronoun and should always be capitalized.
