We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint electrical problems quickly and effectively, saving you time and money on repairs. From minor faults to complex system failures, our diagnostics ensure your vehicle’s electrical systems are functioning optimally.

    Scanning

    Our scanning services involve reading and interpreting data from your vehicle’s onboard computer systems. This allows us to detect errors and potential issues in various systems, including the engine, transmission, and other critical components. Scanning provides a comprehensive overview, helping us to make precise repairs.

    Car Batteries – Replacement, Charging and Services

    The battery in a car plays a critical role in keeping a vehicle on the road. Without it, you are not going anywhere! Our expert team can easily handle battery replacement and servicing and we only stock quality auto batteries.

    Depending on the condition of the vehicle and environmental conditions, replacing a car battery should be considered every three to five years to ensure your vehicle starts reliably, even in the harshest conditions. Your journey begins with a healthy power source – let’s make sure you never get left stranded due to a flat battery.

    Starter Motor: Replacement and Repairs

    If your vehicle is experiencing issues with its starting motor, we have the answers to get you going again. Our experienced team specialises in diagnosing and solving starter motor problems. We have all the right tools to ensure accurate diagnostics and offer practical solutions for repairs. We’re committed to solving your starting motor worries, so you can hit the road with confidence.

    How do you know if you have a starter motor problem? There are several tell-tale signs. If you turn the key or press the ignition button, and you hear a clicking sound but the engine doesn’t turn over, it could be a sign of a faulty starter motor. If there is no response at all (i.e. the car won’t start), that could be too, if you have already ruled out a dead battery

    In severe cases of starter motor failure, you may notice smoke coming from under the hood or a burning smell. In this case please contact an automotive electrician to service your car immediately.

    We pride ourselves on taking care of our customers (and your vehicles) and security should be a top priority.

    Auxiliary Alternator

    For vehicles requiring additional electrical power, an auxiliary alternator can be a game-changer. We install and maintain auxiliary alternators, providing extra power for accessories like fridges, winches, and off-grid power systems, ensuring you never run out of juice.

    ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

    ABS is a crucial safety feature that prevents wheels from locking during sudden braking. Faults in the ABS system can compromise your vehicle’s braking performance and safety. We diagnose and repair ABS issues to ensure your braking system remains reliable and responsive.

    Oxygen Sensors (Lambda Sensors)

    The primary function of oxygen sensors (or lambda sensors) is to monitor the level of oxygen in the exhaust gases and provide real-time feedback to the engine control unit (ECU). Based on this feedback, the air-fuel mixture that passes into the engine is adjusted to ensure optimal combustion. Ensuring your air-fuel mixture is at the ideal ratio not only improves fuel efficiency it also helps to reduce harmful emissions, contributing to more environmentally friendly and efficient vehicle operation.

     

    Over time, oxygen sensors may degrade or become contaminated, leading to less accurate readings. When this happens, the engine’s performance and fuel efficiency can suffer. The best way to stay on top of it is with regular vehicle servicing and if a dash light comes on, make sure you bring it in for inspection.

    Alarm

    A reliable alarm system is essential for vehicle security. We diagnose and repair alarm faults to keep your vehicle protected. Whether it’s a false alarm issue or a complete failure, we can restore your security system’s functionality.

    Told them to replace my belt tensioner due to frequent squeaking after replacing my belt. They looked around and said, “nope, take the belt back and ask for a new one under warranty”.. Charged me $12, and after installing a new belt, turns out they were right.
