What do ignition system repair services include?
A vehicle ignition system ignites or fires the spark plugs to start up the engine. With a damaged ignition system, an engine may stop running correctly. Further, ignition system damage could be the reason a car will not start.
Ignition system repair concerns two main parts. The first one is the ignition switch, where a driver places and turns a key to start a car. And the second main part is the electronic ignition, which powers the starter. Here’s a list of common ignition repairs you can book on Airtasker.
Ignition system assessment
If you’re not sure what’s wrong with your ignition system, a mechanic can come over to assess the issue. Afterwards, they can give you a rough quote for the repair so you can plan. Your Tasker can also help you source the materials for the best prices. When you’re ready to pay for an ignition system repair, feel free to post another request on Airtasker. You can find many experienced, rated, and reviewed mechanics on our platform.Â
Spark plug replacement
Spark plugs may be small, but they are crucial to getting an engine to start. Bad spark plugs can cause difficulty in starting a car, unusual vibrations under the bonnet, increased fuel consumption, and other auto problems. These tiny parts tend to go through wear and tear over time, which is why you’ll have to replace them at some point. Spark plug replacement generally involves removing and replacing the spark plugs. Your mechanic may also inspect the engine head threads and ignition wires. Then, the mechanic will test the vehicle to make sure everything is working correctly.Â
Ignition cable replacement
Faulty ignition cables can cause the same problems as bad spark plugs. For this reason, your mechanic should also check the ignition cables when replacing spark plugs. Ignition cable failure is often a result of defective parts in the surrounding area. Replacing an ignition cable is a straightforward process. Typically, your mechanic will use special testing tools to check each cable. Then, they will replace the bad cables with new ones.Â
Ignition lock repair or replacement
The ignition lock is the part where you insert your key. If you’re having problems adding or removing the key from the ignition, you might have a bad ignition lock cylinder. A faulty ignition lock cylinder may also be the reason behind a car’s inability to start, a hot ignition switch, or engine shutting off during travel. Â
Ignition coil replacement
Water entry or old spark plugs are common reasons for ignition coil failure. Ignition coil failure is a standard car problem, which sometimes prevents an engine from starting. A bad ignition coil can also cause engine sputtering, shaking, or misfiring. If you have a faulty ignition coil, you should get a replacement. Also, consider getting a spark plug replacement to preserve your ignition coils.

Install Ignition-Switched Anderson Plug – 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
$350
Rosalie QLD, Australia
24th Oct 2026
I need an auto electrician to supply and install a rear Anderson plug on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (smart alternator) for towing purposes. I think I require a true ignition-switched power setup (using an ignition relay or a dedicated switch wire rather than a standard VSR) so it only draws power when the engine is running. Expect will need to source the components (heavy-duty 6 B&S or 4 B&S cabling, ignition relay/isolator, midi fuses, and grey Anderson plug) to route the cabling from the battery compartment (under the front passenger seat) out to the rear tow bar next to flat trailer plug. Needs to power an ALKO IQ7 actuator- so needs a 50amp Anderson plug.
Fastidious detail and excellent job. Would use again if I needed an auto electrician. Thanks Joshua.

Nissan Navara D40 Ignition Switch Repair
$350
Helensvale QLD 4212, Australia
9th Oct 2026
I’m looking for an experienced auto electrician or mechanic familiar with Nissan Navara D40s to repair an intermittent electrical issue. The vehicle has already been inspected by an auto electrician. Fault: The dashboard intermittently turns on and off, with key in ignition, while idling and while driving. Headlights, indicators, hazards all continue to operate. Further testing found that the ignition switch wire/circuit is unstable and intermittently failing, which may be causing the dashboard to switch on and off. The auto electrician has recommended starting with replacement of the ignition switch and then retesting the vehicle. Power, accessory and earth circuits to the existing head unit have already been tested and were within specification. Job required: - Replace/repair the faulty ignition switch or ignition switch electrical component/circuit as required. - Check the associated ignition wiring and connections. - Retest the dashboard after repair to confirm the intermittent fault has been resolved. - Prefer someone experienced with Nissan Navara D40 electrical faults. I can provide the auto electrician’s diagnostic report. Budget is up to $600 depending on parts and work required.
