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.

Description: Looking for someone experienced with 4WD electrical installs (auto electrician or experienced installer preferred) to assist with fitting a KickAss 12V 120Ah Slimline Lithium Premium Dual Battery Kit into my GWM Tank 300. The KickAss kit is designed as a plug-and-play system and comes with everything required, but I’d really value input from someone experienced to ensure the layout, mounting, and overall finish is done properly.

Scope of work: • Assist with final layout/positioning of battery and components • Securely mount the slimline lithium battery in the cargo area • Drill into the floor and install rivnuts/nutserts for solid mounting points • Modify/reposition the factory subwoofer/amp so it doesn’t foul on the battery • Re-secure sub/amp once repositioned • Assist with cable routing and cable management (safe, neat, and protected) • Ensure safe clearance around battery terminals and cabling • General tidy-up to ensure nothing rubs, vibrates, or creates a hazard What’s included in the kit: • 120Ah Slimline Lithium Battery • 25A DCDC Charger • Wiring kit (incl. cabling, fuses, connectors) • Mounting hardware (from kit) Requirements: • Must have experience with dual battery / 12V setups • Must have own tools, including rivnut/nutsert tool • Experience working on 4WDs or custom installs highly preferred • Ability to deliver a clean, safe, and well-finished install Notes: • Space is tight due to factory bolts underneath, so experience with custom installs is important • After a properly thought-out setup, not just a quick install • Happy to assist on the day if needed Location: Preston VIC Timing: Flexible (sooner preferred)

Auto Electrician required to help complete van wiring loom rewrap.

$280

Epping, New South Wales

6th Jan 2026

2005 Ford Transit restoration. I've completed about 90% of the wiring loom rewrap. At 64yo I'm having problems getting under the dash and into the engine bay. The Dash and instrument cluster have been removed to gain access to the loom at the back and under the dash. I need someone who can help finish the rewrap in electrical tape. ie. stronger back than mine. Will require getting under the van for things like horn, loom connectors etc. I estimate about 3hrs to complete. But willing to pay as required. Note: Anyone who is car minded and good with electrical tape should also apply.

This guy turns up when her feels like. English is his tenth language and both time arrived an hour and a quarter later than the agreed time. His skills are excellent though and he can do pretty well anything around a car. He can ONLY work Sundays, which is very limiting and inflexible. Because of this he/we had to work in the rain, which I didn't appreciate at all.
