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.

Tugun QLD 4224, Australia

23rd Aug 2026

For our old caravan; Current setup: * 80W solar panel on the caravan * Older/basic solar charge controller * Century Dual Force 27XMF battery * 12V dual-purpose/deep-cycle battery * 85Ah * Existing caravan lighting is mainly fluorescent/older round lights – planning to change everything to LED * Planning to purchase and run a 12V compressor fridge (upright fridge) * Car has a separate Anderson plug available already * Caravan is small/lightweight, so our overall power requirements aren’t huge At the moment the 80W solar runs through the existing solar controller to the Century battery. There isn’t currently a DC-DC charger between the car and caravan. I’m considering adding a DC-DC charger with built-in MPPT, using the Anderson connection from the car and potentially running the existing solar panel through the DC-DC as well, removing/bypassing the old solar controller. I’m also happy to upgrade the solar from 80W to around 150–200W if that’s worthwhile. The main goal is a simple and reliable setup for weekends/camping, primarily running the 12V compressor fridge, LED lighting and some USB charging.

Install a 240V inverter in my campervan – qualified electricians only

$300

Clear Island Waters QLD 4226, Australia

23rd Aug 2026

Hey! I'm looking for a qualified electrician with experience in 230/240V electrical work (and bonus for 12V campervan systems) to: - Install my 2000W inverter - Install a double 240V power point - Inspect and safety-test the 240v inverter system (and if able to the existing 12V electrical system) - Provide appropriate compliance documentation/certificate for the completed electrical installation Some info on the existing setup: I have a Renogy R-INVT-PUH1-201235-AU 2000W 12V → 230V pure sine wave inverter with UPS function that I would like installed in the protected cavity underneath the van floor. The cavity is enclosed by the vehicle's sheet-metal floor and is not directly exposed to the road. I have already pre-run the 240V cable from the proposed inverter location to the outlet location inside the van. I would like a double 240V power point installed at the end of this cable. The existing 12V system includes a 12.8V 300Ah LiFePO4 leisure battery, DC-DC charging and associated 12V wiring/protection. The proposed inverter location is shown in the attached photo (the one with the arrows). During the job, I would like you to review the location and ensure the inverter has adequate airflow/ventilation.

Hi, the right side high beam fuse of my Holden Astra BK Car (2017) has failed and requires replacement. I need someone to supply a replacement fuse (10A I believe), and help install new LED head lights for the high beams ( I have these lights on hand). The black LED ground wire has a male spade connector which needs to be changed to a female spade connector (or use an adapter) so it can be grounded in the headlight housing. Location = Robina just off the M1.
