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.

Vehicle: Opel / Vauxhall 2009 Automatic Hi, The car was working perfectly before someone attempted to remove the gear knob and forced it down too hard, which damaged the internal gear selector / ignition interlock mechanism. As a result: • Key is stuck in the ignition • Car won’t start • Gear selector internals have been disturbed • This is not an ignition barrel issue I’m looking for an experienced mechanic who understands: • Automatic gear selector assemblies • Park position switches • Shift-lock / ignition interlock systems I’m aware this likely requires: • Repair or replacement of the complete automatic gear selector assembly • Correct realignment of the interlock so the car recognises Park I need someone who can diagnose and restore it properly. 💰 Budget: Open to fair pricing for the right fix 🕒 Flexible timing Thanks.

Installation of a gaz bottle in a van

$150

Woolloongabba QLD, Australia

26th Jan 2026

Hello, I have a van in which I installed a CAN FL1780 sink/cooker unit. I purchased a Companion Gas Cylinder 3/8" LH 1.25 kg, a Gasmate 3/8" LH BSP regulator, a Gasmate 3/8" SAE quick-connect fitting, as well as a 3/8" SAE 1200 mm gas hose and a few adapters. I would like to install the regulator on the gas bottle first, then the quick-connect (so I can disconnect the bottle when I am not cooking), and finally the hose to the cooker. I’m a bit confused about the different connector standards and adapters, and I would like to make sure the installation is done in a proper and professional manner. Thank you.

Auto electrician needed

$100

Pallara QLD, Australia

19th Aug 2025

I recently bought an ex-QPS Hyundai iLoad. It still has leftover police wiring installed, and the van keeps beeping whenever I drive (likely from an aftermarket buzzer/module). I need an experienced auto electrician or mechanic to: • Locate and safely remove/disable the aftermarket beeper/buzzer • Clean up any leftover police wiring (lights, sirens, tracker, etc.) to prevent future issues • Check and reconnect the reverse camera – currently, when I put the van in reverse, the screen goes blank (camera is likely disconnected or not wired correctly) The van drives fine otherwise, I just want the wiring tidied up and the reverse camera working again. Location: Pallara Budget: Open to offers Preferred timing: sooner is better Requirements: • Auto electrical/wiring experience • Tools to trace and tidy wiring • Ability to test and reconnect the reverse camera

He was great, was sharp and communicated very professionally.
