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.

Seeking an Auto Electrician

$150

Vermont South VIC, Australia

22nd Feb 2026

I own a 2015 Ford Mondeo. It was picked up from a panel beater yesterday (Saturday) after front end repairs were done. At the time, the battery was flat. It was jump started. It later died again (after being driven for about 45 minutes). The battery was so flat that the doors would not lock. RACV came out and jump started it. The alternator tested fine. It was then driven for about 1.25 hours. After which, it was put onto a 240V AGM battery charger. After a few hours, the battery charger (used before without issue) started overheating. The battery this morning is dead - it won't even turn over. I believe there may be a short circuit of some description and before I go off guns blazing to the repairer, I need an objective opinion - from an expert). The budget is a placeholder, since I don't know what to expect!

Replace an alternator and possibly also battery - 2006 Toyota Aurion

$50

Mount Evelyn VIC, Australia

10th Dec 2025

Price negotiable Needed 2 jump starts to get home 8km last night- Car battery not charging while driving- presumed alternator failure, battery may also be dead (it’s definitely out of charge) I have but no way to check if it needs replacing, it might just need a charge. First need someone to come and diagnose for sure what’s going on and that it’s not just an easy fix- then if needed to replace the alternator etc then we can do that too, happy to pay for the necessary parts too of course. tight on money so hoping someone who knows what they’re doing can do it cheaper than the big businesses. Happy to work with you as well to get it fixed ASAP. I don’t really know anything about cars or where the alternator actually is in here but I’ve attached some photos UUT263

Very knowledgeable and friendly, fixed my issue in no time for a good price
