AUTO ELECTRICAL
CANBERRA.
Slow crank on a frosty Canberra morning, dim headlights, or a dash full of warning lights? We test batteries, alternators, starter motors and wiring properly, in the workshop, not with guesswork.
Also need tyres? Browse our tyre range or see all workshop services.
Call to book, same-day an auto electrical check is often available.
Signs of an auto electrical fault.
Slow or struggling crank in the cold
A battery that's marginal in summer often fails outright on a sub-zero Canberra morning.
Dash battery or charge warning light
This points to the alternator not charging properly, worth testing before you're stranded with a flat battery.
Dim or flickering headlights
Headlights that dim at idle and brighten when you rev the engine usually mean a weak alternator or bad earth.
Clicking when you turn the key
A single clicking sound and no crank is a classic starter motor or battery connection symptom.
Everything included, no surprises.
Battery Testing & Replacement
Proper load-testing, not just a voltmeter check, plus quality replacement batteries in stock.
Alternator & Charging
Charging system tested under load to catch a failing alternator before it leaves you stranded.
Starter Motors
Starter circuit and motor testing to diagnose slow or no-crank complaints accurately.
Wiring Fault-Finding
Proper diagnostic equipment used to trace wiring, lighting and fuse faults, not guesswork.
Same-Day in Most Cases
Battery and charging system jobs are usually completed the same day.
Upfront Pricing
Indicative pricing given before we start, confirmed once the fault is confirmed.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."
