I need headlight bulb replacement

Attention to detail at its finest. Jethro installed a duel battery setup in my ute. From start to finish nothing was not thought about. It's neat and tidy. Cables ran unnoticed in complicated places. Went above and beyond to get the job done and supplies materials I hadn't thought about buying previously. Worked a Sunday to suit my job requirements. Could not recommend any higher. A real professional. Thanks so much I'm very happy with the final result. Will use again.

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.

Quote-supply and fit of 2 Anderson plugs and electric brake controller

$5

Westlake QLD 4074, Australia

11th Feb 2025

I have not nominated a price for this job as I have no appreciation of what the cost might be and need quotes to assess. At this stage I am looking for quotes to supply and install a black and a red Anderson plug to a Mazda bt50 (one for power to caravan batteries and one for power to caravan electric sway control). A brake controller is also needed. I understand a fitting that allows for a battery isolator function would be helpful/ necessary. Depending on cost it may be necessary to break my requirements into two separate jobs to make the project affordable for me. I am happy for the job to be done at my home or in a worshop. Quotes and ideas Wellcome.
