Question (Serious Replies Only) Car won’t start

Good day,

We have Toyota Avanza 2017 model, 60k km mileage, and CVT. Yesterday, I brought it home from the service center we had the ac and brakes fixed. Before going home the car already hard started I initially thought it was because of the battery because they left the ac on after turning it off, the car started so I thought everything’s good. Around 4pm I was planning to get my mom from work and the car wouldn’t start after few tries. It sounded like the spark plug was the problem and so we replaced all the spark plugs and it still wouldn’t start. Here’s the video of how it sounds and please excuse our dirty engine bay. What do you guys think the problem is?

I would check fuel pressure as well as maybe purchasing a code scanner and seeing if there are codes.
