Amazing bloke, totally the best guy for the job. An absolute wealth of knowledge and experience, and just a good-natured, down-to-earth bloke who gets stuff done. If I had to sum Drew up in two words it would be: PROBLEM SOLVER. Couldn’t be happier with the work he’s done for me.

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 - Camper Trailer Battery

$300

Tarragindi QLD 4121, Australia

3rd Nov 2026

Need help from an Auto Electrician I’ve got a 2019 Emu Camper Trailer. It’s great, but I’m having constant battery issues. I recently replaced the AGM battery with a 200ah Lithium battery, but when I plug in the 240v lead it won’t charge. I’ve worked out it the AC DC charger (I think). I need someone to come and have a look at it, wake up the Lithium battery (charged it up and used it on one trip, but it’s since dropped charge because I didn’t have the solar plugged in), look at the existing AC DC charger (Hulk AC DC 12v/24v battery charger) to see if that’s the problem, check the wiring, and if needed install the new AC DC Kings Battery Charger permanently into the camper. Ultimately I’m looking to be able to charge the Lithium battery without having the open up the camper every time. It’s annoying. I also was looking for someone to supply a new 9v cable for an existing 9v cable for light bar in back of Hilux that has corroded - might need someone to cut and splice a 9v cable and rewire. Located in Tarragindi.

Auto Electrician Needed – Toyota Coaster Motorhome + Van Battery Issue

$500

Burbank QLD, Australia

1st Nov 2026

Auto Electrician Needed – Toyota Coaster Motorhome + Van Battery Issue I'm looking for an experienced and reliable auto electrician with motorhome/caravan electrical experience to inspect two vehicles. 1. 1995 Toyota Coaster Motorhome - import I've recently purchased a Toyota Coaster motorhome and would like someone to go over the electrical system to make sure everything is working correctly and safely. In particular, I'd like help with: - Checking the house batteries (AGM), charging system and alternator charging. - Checking the solar setup, inverter and mains power charging. - Investigating why my house batteries don't seem to be charging properly. - Checking the fridge power supply and why it may not be working on mains power. - Checking the overall electrical setup, including the 12V/24V systems. - Advising on what needs fixing or upgrading for future off-grid living. I'm not necessarily looking to have everything upgraded immediately. I'd first like to understand what I already have, what works, what needs attention and what improvements would be worthwhile. 2. Van 2012 toyota HiAce import– Overheating House Batteries I also have a van that I'm preparing to sell. The house batteries are overheating while driving, and I need someone to investigate and diagnose the cause. I'd like this issue assessed and, if possible, repaired so the vehicle is safe before selling it. Id ideally like both motorhomes looked at on the same visit. Thank you.

Very helpful, will definitely use again.

Hi, the alternator on my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe (2.2L Turbo Diesel, DM shape) has failed internally.
