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.

Malvern East VIC, Australia

Headlight Restoration (Sand, Polish, UV Coat) Description: Need both headlights restored on a 2015 Renault Koleos. Must include multi-stage wet sanding, machine polishing, and a UV-resistant clear coat/sealant. Please bring your own masking tape to protect the paint.

Rus did an incredible job on my Renault Koleos! I was originally planning to spend much more money replacing the entire headlight lenses, but Rus saved me a fortune by restoring them to like-new condition. He is extremely meticulous and professional—he even took the time to explain the entire process and the science behind the ceramic coating he used. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality work and an honest technician!

Electrics in campervan

$1,234

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

7th Mar 2026

Looking for an electrician to help us with our van. We bought a van with an electrical system already installed, but there are still a few things to finish and we would like to add a solar panel. We need someone to connect the wires for the power outlets, lights, and the fan to the battery, and help us connect the solar panel so the battery can be charged by both the DC-DC charger and the solar. There is also a wire visible in the photos marked with number 3. We are not sure what it is for, but if possible we would like to use it for an Anderson power outlet to connect a fridge. Photo 1 shows the wires for the lights and power outlets. Photo 2 shows the fan – the wiring for it should already be installed, but at the moment we are not sure which cable it runs through. We believe most of the major work is already done, but we need someone to check the system, get an overview of the setup, and help us complete the remaining work. Let’s have a chat about the details and payment. We are hoping to get this done as soon as possible and appreciate any help or advice.

Car Headunit & Reverse Camera Installation

$200

Brighton VIC, Australia

1st Jan 2026

I'd like to change the Headunit for my 2008 Camry I bought a specific kit online a few weeks ago and just don't have the time to do it myself. I used to do it a lot when I was younger but just don't have the time (or patience) at the moment. It has all the right parts and just needs someone who knows what they are doing to install it including the reverse camera. Watched a few YouTubes on this one specifically and its pretty straight forward. Its going for a respray early next week so would be good to do it Thursday or Friday next week if possible. If not the following week is fine!

Hairy did a standout job will work with him again!

Fix existing dashcam installation

$200

Heatherton VIC, Australia

20th Dec 2025

I currently have a dashcam fitted from a previous installer on a Volvo XC40 Recharge. The installation is such the vehicle powers a neocell link battery (via the fusebox) and the battery sits underneath the front passenger seat and the BlackVue 750x front and rear dashcam is connected to the Neocell battery. The Dashcam is working fine but the connection between car and battery keeps dropping out and the battery doesn't charge (I figured this out after connecting the camera direct to the 12v outlet). I need someone to check and fix this loose connection between battery and car fusebox.

Nawin came and fixed the issue impromptu and professionally! Thank you

Parking sensors installation - front & rear

$150

Caulfield North VIC, Australia

21st Sep 2025

I have a car parking sensor kit that I need installed. It has 4 front and 4 rear sensors plus a small LCD monitor to go on the dashboard. The car is a Hyundai Kona Hatch. I'm flexible with date and time. Ideally it can be done on a Saturday or Sunday in Caulfield North, but if not, an option is 1) from 7pm Monday to Friday in Caulfield North in my garage for light; or b) I work in Truganina Monday to Friday so it can be done there during business hours in an outdoor but undercover area.

Bimz was a pleasure to deal with - fast to respond to messages, communicates clearly, flexible on start time, and quality of work looks great.
