This was first experience with AirTasker. I was not disappointed! Super happy with David’s service! Extremely knowledgeable, did an impeccable job installing the dashcam and he took the time to explain everything as well as set it up. He was also very respectful of the car. Great communication re: appointment time and arrives when he said he would. Really nice and funny guy. Will be in contact again if we need any other jobs completed. Thanks David!

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.

Camberwell VIC, Australia

5th Mar 2026

I have a 1993 Toyota celica that I have been fixing up for a while now. Electrics are not my strong suit but I’ve tried as much as I can. I mainly need someone to tell me what the issue is, and I can figure out how to fix it myself. The car is not running or roadworthy so it would have to be a travel automotive electrician. Main issue seems to be a connection that is messing with the ecu. The engine light won’t come on with ignition and if it doesn’t come on, the car won’t tick over. However, would also like a quick check that there is nothing else electrical that I might be missing. Old cars love to break down wires so I’m sure there is a dodgy connection somewhere I’m just not looking. Photo is just a flex, nothing else lol
