What do auto electricians do?

Warning lights on your dash or flickering headlights may indicate an electrical issue, or perhaps your car just won’t start. Fortunately, many auto-electricians offer a mobile service to ensure you’re not left stranded on the side of the road if something unexpected happens. 

Here are some common issues that your auto electrician can help with:

Engine electrics and brakes

It’s important to act on any warning lights on your dash, especially your anti-lock braking system (ABS) to fix any issues before they become unsafe. Firstly, your auto electrician will use a diagnostics machine to review the health of your battery, alternator, and starter motor. 

  • A flat battery can be the cause of many electrical issues but fortunately, they’re easily replaced. However, if your battery isn’t holding charge, your auto electrician will consider whether the alternator (which charges the battery when the car is running) is working.

The starter motor may be the problem if your car won’t start, and this can either be repaired or replaced. An auto electrician can complete checks on fuel pumps and your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system to repair or improve your car’s engine. 

Auto electricals

Having trouble with auto electrics such as central locking, cruise control, windscreen wipers, power windows and mirrors? Your local auto electrician will check for blown fuses or short circuits to isolate and fix the problem.

Lighting systems

Functioning lighting systems are required for safety and legal reasons, so it’s important to have any issues fixed quickly. Lighting issues are often associated with the battery and alternator. 

Car security systems

Keep your vehicle safe and secure with a car alarm and immobiliser installed by a qualified auto sparky. An alarm acts as a deterrent to car thieves and an immobiliser ensures the engine won’t start if entry is gained to the vehicle. Plus, installing a dash cam and reversing camera is another smart safety and security measure.

Emergency roadside assistance

If you find yourself stranded with a car that won’t start, a mobile auto electrician near you can help you get back on the road sooner. Their vehicle is fully-equipped with the necessary tools to diagnose the problem, so they can repair many issues on the spot. For any complex problems, you’ll need to arrange a tow truck to take your car to a safe location for further work.

$200

North Melbourne VIC, Australia

5th Apr 2025

I have a 2013 Honda Jazz and want to upgrade to a head unit with Apple CarPlay along with a reverse camera. I'd also like to consider other worthwhile upgrades to do at the same time. I've purchased an Aerpro FP8075K fascia kit, but haven't purchased any other equipment yet, and would appreciate advice on this. Currently I'm looking at a Kenwood DMX5023S and Kenwood CMOS-130 reverse camera, but happy to consider other suggestions. I need someone who can: * Recommend suitable head unit and camera options (Kenwood or alternatives) * Suggest any other worthwhile upgrades to do at the same time * Advise on what equipment I should purchase * Install everything once I've purchased the equipment, including setting up steering wheel controls I'm reasonably flexible on budget for quality components and professional installation.

Attach Lithium battery to car engine/fuse box

$100

Elwood VIC, Australia

25th Feb 2025

I have a new adventure kings lithium battery in a battery box for camping It will have DCDC cables that can run through or underneath my car and connect to the fuse box / engine so it can charge the battery while driving Adventure kings have a detailed video on how to do this. Must go to the fuse that only works when the car is turned on to drive , not in accessory mode . May require you to have a fuse light tester to check which fuse works only when car is on. Probably needs to be a mechanic , electrician or someone who’s done battery camp set ups . I could possibly do this myself just not sure how to tunnel tubing through my car https://youtu.be/Hm78cfEiYjo

Super friendly and professional. Did an amazing job fitting electrics through my car Highly recommend
