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.

BMW aftermarket led headlight fauty code fix

$150

Docklands VIC, Australia

6th Jul 2024

Swapped a new pair of aftermarket led headlights for my BMW X1 e84(2011). Because I kept getting faulty messages of "Dipped beam right". and sometimes "Dipped beam left" The new low beams are working perfectly and are very bright. But the error codes kept showing up and is really driving me crazy... I heard that the light module needs to be recoded for the error messages/faulty codes to disappear, especially with aftermarket headlights. I do not have the tools and knowledge to do this. Need someone with experience to fix this.

Came on time. Fixed the issue efficiently.

Alternator needs replacement

$185

Fitzroy North VIC, Australia

17th Apr 2024

Hi there, I need someone to replace the alternator in a 2004 Toyota Corolla sedan, auto 1.8L and charge the battery. I have already purchased a new alternator to fit the vehicle so just a case of swaping it over and the battery will need to be charged. A roadside assist mechanic diagonised the alternator as the cause. If you're available then the please give me a quote. I had someone lined up to do it today but due to illness they cancelled. The car is currently parked outdoors on a fairly quiet back street of North Fitzroy so I am after a mobile mechanic to attend.

Awesome Mechanic, very patient and knowledgeable. Got the job done last minute. Would definitely recommend. Lovely person as well.
