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 is needed to diagnose the problem

$200

Mount Waverley VIC 3149, Australia

20th Dec 2025

Car is 2015 Nissan Pathfinder Ti. On Wednesday was driving and while standing on the traffic light up the hill, car became unresponsive to acceleration. I then put it on P to restart but it had trouble restarting. I got roadside assist to tow the car to MyCar Mount Waverley. Next day they run the test on alternator and battery, said the battery is bad and got it replaced. After driving 1 day, i have put in fm transmitter that also shows the volts and noticed that volts are running too low. I then went to regas the AC and after that the voltage dropped to 10.6v and car started to struggle. Not long after it done the same and gor it towed to the same mechanic. They checked the alternator and battery again and said everything is fine and it need to go to Auto Electrician. We are going for a trip on Tuesday 23rd, so if we could at least diagnose the proble to know what to do it would be a win.

Need a couple things done for my 2010 Mitsubishi Triton. 1. It had an aftermarket reverse camera when I bought it and it worked for a few years but it just kind of stopped and I’d like to get it working or replaced. 2. It also had a mini sub behind the backseat which is hooked up but doesn’t seem to work. Wouldn’t mind seeing if that can work. 3. Potentially looking at upgrading the aftermarket head unit too.

Was fantastic. Did everything that was asked and expected of him. Would use again.
