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.

Auto electrician

$100

Caulfield South VIC, Australia

7th Oct 2025

We have a 2008 Holden Astra. It’s old, but the engine runs well - but there appears to be an electrical fault that drains the battery, even when the car is turned off. We have changed the battery and the car runs great - but by the next morning the battery is flat again. Hoping an auto electrician might be able to come and look at it and identify the issue.

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.

Auto Electrician or knowledgeable with car wiring,

$200

Beaumaris VIC, Australia

26th Jul 2025

The airbag warning light has come on in my 2018 LDV T60 Luxe. I believe it may be related to a dislodged or damaged airbag connector under the seat or a faulty wire. I need someone experienced with vehicle electrics or airbag/SRS systems to: • Inspect the connector under the driver’s seat • Diagnose the cause of the airbag light • Reseat or repair the connector if possible • Clear/reset the warning light if it’s resolved Battery will be disconnected prior to your arrival for safety unless you advise otherwise. Must be someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to airbag/SRS systems.

The best, quick and solved the prob straight away - we will use again, great bloke as well.
