Auto Electrical

One of the few proper auto electrical workshops left on the Sunshine Coast. From a single warning light to a full commercial fitout, we find the fault and fix it.

Auto electrical work has become a specialist trade in its own right, and it's one that fewer and fewer workshops still offer properly. At AEQ, it's core to what we do. We diagnose electrical faults that other workshops give up on, wire commercial and fleet vehicles for businesses that run on them, and partner with body builders and fitout shops on new vehicle builds. If it has a wiring loom, we can trace it, fix it, or build it.

Common Electrical Faults We Fix

Most electrical problems arrive as a symptom rather than a cause. A battery that keeps going flat, a warning light that comes and goes, accessories that cut out over a bump, a starter that works every morning except the cold ones. The fault is rarely where the symptom shows, which is why these jobs get passed around.

Work we take on regularly:

If you have been looking for an auto electrician on the Sunshine Coast who will take on the difficult ones rather than send them to a dealership, that is the work we do every day.

How We Trace a Fault

Guesswork gets expensive on electrical work. Parts get replaced that were never faulty, and the original problem is still there.

We start with the vehicle's own data, pulling stored and pending codes across every module rather than just the engine. From there we test the circuit instead of the component, using wiring diagrams, voltage drop testing, and a scope where the fault is intermittent.

That takes longer at the start and less time overall. It also means when we tell you what is wrong, we can show you why.

Why choose AEQ for auto electrical work:

Auto electrical faults get misdiagnosed more than almost any other kind of vehicle problem, because the cause is rarely where the symptom shows up. We have the diagnostic equipment and the experience to trace faults properly the first time, on vehicles, trucks and machinery alike.

FAQ:

Do you work on trucks and machinery, or just cars?

All three. Our auto electrical work covers vehicles, trucks and machinery, including commercial and fleet applications.

That is exactly the kind of job we take on. Intermittent and hard-to-trace faults are a specialty, not an exception.

Often, yes. Tell us what has already been replaced and we will not charge you to repeat it. Vehicles that have been through two or three shops are a regular part of our week.

Both. Driving lights, light bars, beacons, work lights, reversing cameras, dual battery systems and two-way radios, wired properly with correct fusing and protection.

Straightforward faults are usually same day. Intermittent ones sometimes need the vehicle longer, because a fault that appears once a week has to be caught in the act. We will tell you which kind you have before we start.

Yes. Auto electrical work on plant, machinery and non-registered equipment is a regular part of what we do, particularly for commercial customers.
