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.

Repair/Rewire Electric Trailer Brakes

$200

Weetangera ACT 2614, Australia

16th Jun 2025

I have a tool trailer with electric brakes installed. It has a rectangular 7 pin connection to my car. I don’t use daily anymore. I Noticed recently, some of my lights were out. (Old connector pin in poor condition). After swapping over everything was fixed everything excluding electric brakes. The car has a red arc brake controller. The controller doesn’t register the trailer is connected. Have tried with other trailers and it works as it should. So I’m comfortable the car side is good. It’s on a 2024 Pajero Sport. This trailer is a better trailers built trailer. The set up worked fine for years. Obviously some wiring is corroded or damaged on the brake run. (Ignore the price suggestion? I’m not sure the issue yet)

Sound understanding of the job great explanation of issue. Would recommend his services

Very helpful and easy going guy - fully capable and a very easy transaction. He did a high quality job of installing my reverse camera on my GTI in an efficient and professional manner.
