Auto electrician for Mareeba.
Mareeba is the largest town on the northern Atherton Tablelands, 63km west of Cairns where the Kennedy Highway comes up off the coast and the Mulligan Highway runs on north. It is irrigated horticulture and grazing country — mangoes, avocados, coffee, bananas, sugar cane and cattle — and it is dry where the coast is salty, which changes what goes wrong electrically. Auto electrical, batteries, air conditioning and ECU work for Mareeba and the Tablelands are run out of the Townsville workshop. Ring us with the vehicle and the fault.

Auto electrical, air conditioning and ECU work is run out of the Townsville workshop. The Cairns branch, 63km away, is the nearest counter for batteries, golf carts, castors and trolleys. Ring us with the job and we will point it the right way.

Electrical work around Mareeba and the Tablelands.
Horticulture and irrigation
Mango, avocado, coffee, banana and cane country runs on pumps, gensets, tractors and harvest machinery that has to start every morning of the season. We work on the charging systems, the wiring and the control gear behind all of it.
Dust and heat, not salt
Up on the drier western edge of the Tablelands it is dust and sustained heat rather than coastal corrosion. Dust works its way into connectors and switchgear, and heat is hard on batteries and on air conditioning that never gets a break.
Produce cartage on the highways
Trucks carting produce off the Tablelands on the Kennedy and Mulligan highways put real hours on 24-volt charging and starting systems, trailer lighting and plugs.
Batteries for the Tablelands
Truck, tractor, 4WD and deep cycle batteries, tested along with the charging system before anything is replaced. A battery that gives up mid-season is a bigger problem out there than it is in town.
Electric UTVs and golf carts
Marshell electric UTVs — four-wheel drive with diff locks standard — sold and supported out of the Townsville workshop. Golf carts and lithium upgrades come through the Cairns branch, and carts are delivered anywhere freight can get to.
A long way from a workshop
Machinery on a Tablelands property is a long way from anywhere when it stops. That is the argument for diagnosing a fault properly rather than swapping a part and hoping, and for getting the preventative work done before the season rather than during it.

Mareeba in our words.
Harvest sets the rhythm up here, and a machine that has to start at five every morning for six weeks is a different proposition to one doing school runs. That is the argument for having the auto electrical side of a work vehicle looked at before the season rather than in the middle of it. The same goes for a battery replacement in Mareeba: test the charging system as well, because a new battery on a tired alternator goes flat just as fast. Cab air conditioning takes a hammering through a Tablelands summer, and for anything that tows or carts, ECU remapping is worth a conversation.
Mareeba questions, answered.
- Do you have a workshop in Mareeba?
- No. Auto electrical, air conditioning and ECU work is done at 448 Woolcock St, Garbutt in Townsville, and Mareeba and the Tablelands are part of the area it covers. The nearest counter is the Cairns branch, about 63km away, for batteries, golf carts, castors and trolleys. Ring us with the job and we will work out the best way to do it.
- How far is Mareeba from Cairns?
- About 63km, west up the Kennedy Highway and across the northern Tablelands. The Mulligan Highway is the main street through town.
- Can farm machinery be looked at on the property?
- Sometimes. It comes down to the machine, the fault and the schedule — some jobs can be done where the machine is, others need the workshop. Tell us what you have and we will work it out with you.
- Do you work on trucks and trailers?
- Yes. 24-volt charging and starting systems, trailer lighting and plugs, and the intermittent faults that only show up loaded.
- Can I get a battery for a tractor or a truck?
- Yes. Truck, tractor, 4WD and deep cycle batteries, and the battery is tested along with the charging system before anything is replaced, so you are not paying for a battery when the alternator is the fault.
- Can a golf cart be delivered to Mareeba?
- Yes. Carts are sold through the Cairns branch and delivered anywhere freight can get to. Ring us with what you are after and we will work the freight out with you.
