Recent Auto Electrician reviews in South Brisbane

Work was outstanding. All work was done professionally. Never complained on how long the job took. Was a very difficult task to do, I took my car to auto electricans for them to say the job was too hard so they didn’t touch it. Lincon came out and you’d his professionalism thought the whole process. He supplied all necessary parts that I didn’t have. Made sure I was completely happy with the outcome before he left. Outstanding and awesome bloke. Very easy to communicate with also. 5 star review for sure. If someone I know even needs help with auto electrics I’ll definitely be passing his number on.

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.

Coorparoo QLD 4151, Australia

Need someone to remove and replace the starter motor in my 2010 Hyundai i30 CRDi diesel automatic. I already have the new replacement starter motor part, which I was informed would fit my vehicle from the seller. There is an oil leak around the engine area which may have contributed to the old starter failing, so just mentioning that upfront. I also just purchased a new battery. At this stage I mainly just need the car running/drivable again so I can get it to my mechanic. Flexible with timing over the next week. Please quote labour only. Also, just a heads up, the car is parked out on the road around the corner from my house. 😊

Euro Auto Electrical Problem

$400

Moorooka QLD, Australia

7th May 2026

2013 VW Passat Alltrack 2.0TDI having an electrical issue. Multiple codes coming up but the most common being “circuit B low voltage”. Unsure what it is. Car in limp mode but no odd noises. Rough start but I believe that’s because a sensor on the b circuit is faulting due to the larger issue. It happened after another electrician changed the blower unit for the AC. Was driving fine before then. Fairly confident it's going to be an old wire or connector that has gone but I'm not sure how to find it. I've scanned the obd myself to see many codes including P0238 P0322 P0113 The most common is the sensor reference voltage b circuit p0651 and that one has shown up since beginning. That’s all I know. I’m no electrician so I need a good diagnosis if you can :) Please feel free to ask more questions. Thanks

Mervyn was punctual, friendly, and fixed the problem successfully. Would definitely recommend

Auto Electrician For Van

$10

Sunnybank Hills QLD, Australia

24th Mar 2026

Hey there, I have a 2003 Mercedes Sprinter and I’m currently experiencing some issues with the van’s electrical system. To keep it brief: fuse #7 (under the steering wheel), which is connected to the air circulation system and the horn, kept blowing. I replaced it, but it continued to blow. At one point, I temporarily installed a higher amp fuse so I could start the van as I was stuck in the middle of the desert. The van did start, but the higher amp fuse eventually burned out as well. Once I got home, I identified the issue: a cable near the horn was exposed and touching the bare metal of the van, causing the fuse to blow. I temporarily fixed it with tape, and replaced the fuse with the correct rating. The van now starts fine, and no fuses are blowing anymore. However, I’m now experiencing the following issues: Some lights are dim (likely need replacing) The horn is not working The radio is not working I’m looking for someone who can properly troubleshoot the root cause and help repair/rework the wiring. Here’s what I’d like help with: Properly insulating and redoing the exposed cables (I currently have a temporary tape fix on 3 wires) Repairing the battery cable terminal (the screw for the negative terminal has broken) Diagnosing and fixing the underlying electrical issue Replacing any faulty lights I need this to pass a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC), as the van is currently registered interstate. I have some basic electrical knowledge and am happy to assist if needed. I can also remove the dashboard beforehand to speed things up and allow you to start troubleshooting right away. I’ve attached some photos for reference. I’m quite flexible with timing, and I’d appreciate a fixed quote if possible, as I’m currently on a budget. Of course, I’ll cover the cost of any replacement parts (like lights) separately. I also use Airtasker, so feel free to reach out there or here if you have any questions. Thanks in advance! Michael

Strongly recommended ! Dan analysed and fixed all my issues promptly! went more and above what was needed! Hope to work again in future!
