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.

Headunit installation car

Go to wreckers and get headlights for my 2004 Subaru Forrestor.

$100

Lonsdale SA, Australia

20th May 2024

U-Pull-It is a self-serve auto wrecker. They have one 2004 Subaru Forrestor at their Lonsdale site. If they are not totally yellow or leaky, I need both left and right headlights removed. You will need a 10mm socket with a short extender bar, and and a screw driver for the body clips. I would then like them posted to me. Unsure if there is an entry few. But it looks like it is $49 or $65 oer headlight. And postage for 10kg 60*40*20cm is about $45 So, once you get there and take a picture, confirm and have them out, I can send you the cash for the headlights and postage. You'll have to call the wreckers first to see if they are open; despite what Google says, some reviews say intermittent opening hours. The colour is silver. That's all I have. I will consider some sort of reimbursement for your time if you go there and cannot find them. I have removed them from my car, very simple if you can use a socket set. <20mins flap time removing.

Great comms. Very efficient.

I need my 2009 Lexus Alternator replaced. I will supply parts. - Due date: Flexible

Christian was amazing. I had ordered the part in and it was delayed so had to reschedule the originally booked day. Christian kept in touch with me and told me he will arrange to install as soon as it arrived. I messaged Christian when it arrived and the next day he was at my house fitting it. Very friendly guy who knew what he was doing and fitted it properly without issue. Also took time to test and rule out other issues whilst he was there.A+
