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.

Needing a replacement alternator fitted into my Toyota Aurion 2006 v6

$450

Mansfield QLD, Australia

20th Mar 2025

So my little blue Toyota has been dead for about a month now, I’ve needed to save some $ for repairs plus general things coming up and delaying the process 🫤 I’m needing to replace the alternator and have it fitted and possibly also the battery (battery is only 8 months old so it can possibly be salvaged?) It’s a Toyota Aurion v6 2006 auto sedan and it’s currently stranded at Mansfield at a friends house. I’m able to buy the alternator on a aftermarket site if that works out better or is going to save me significant moolah but if you are up for the job ( the sooner the better) contact me with potential quotes on both the replacement and fitting of said alternator or just the fitting itself if I buy the part. I’m a single Mum of 3 so don’t have a huge budget but can afford approx $400 -$450 range Thanks in advance Amanda

Fit an alternator into my Toyota Aurion v6 2006

$200

Mansfield QLD, Australia

3rd Mar 2025

My Car broke down about 2.5-3 weeks ago (Toyota Aurion V6 2006 sedan) and has been sitting at a mates place in Mansfield since, I’ve had a mobile mechanic come out to look at and diagnose it and was told that it needs an alternator replacement and possibly a battery replacement if it’s stuffed up my current battery that’s only 8 months old. I was also told that to do this would require the car to be on a hoist due to the placement of the alternator. I have found a few alternators on wholesale websites and will be purchasing one this coming Thursday (6/3) so I’m just wanting to know if someone is able to do that for me and can also give me an approximate price of doing so, the sooner the better. Thanks in advance
