Default Starter problems already??

So I went out this morning to start my car and guess it had enough. I don't know if its the starter or alternator. I uploaded a video. The car is still under warranty but my question is how do I get it there...lol.

My car came with free towing while under warranty. Check your paperwork to see if you have the same.

Seems more like a dead battery to me.

If/when they do tow it remember to tell them to bring a flatbed.

I've seen some really loud staters before with dead battery.... Couldn't hurt to try and use a jump box.
