Car would not start a few months back.  I had a roll-back wrecker pick it up to carry to garage.  When he got there the car started, he brought it back and I have driven it without a problem till the other day.  Engine turns over sluggishly.  Any ideas?

You may want to start with a starting and charging system test and check all your fluids.

Of course check your battery. See that it's able to hold a charge and clean/tighten the terminals if they are dirty/loose. Do you get a grinding noise from your starter? It may need to be replaced.

Is it a no-crank/no-start or a crank/no-start?  If the starter sounds weak, it probably is - you can take it any parts house that offers a free curbside starting/charging analyzation to verify.
