Townlec Auto Electrical

Fleet, trade and yard gear. Garbutt.

Garbutt is home — the Townlec workshop is at 448 Woolcock St. Around it are sheds, trade businesses, warehousing and the airport precinct — where vehicles earn their keep and downtime costs money.

Why Garbutt is different

Auto electrical work in Garbutt.

Downtime costs money here

A trade ute off the road is a day's work lost, which is why the fault gets diagnosed before anything is replaced.

Fit-outs and accessories

Trade vehicles collect gear: beacons, work lights, inverters, dual battery systems, tool-box wiring, reversing cameras. Done properly means relayed, fused and sealed — not spliced into whatever wire was nearest.

Forklifts and yard equipment

Garbutt is full of yards, and a yard runs gear that never touches a road — forklifts and yard equipment. Chargers, controllers, isolators and lighting are their own discipline, and they fail differently to a road vehicle.

Worth knowing

How the work gets booked

For fleets and plant it is worth keeping a running list rather than ringing about each fault as it appears. Booking several vehicles together means one lot of paperwork, one lot of downtime, and a technician who already knows the history of what is in front of them.

On the ground

Garbutt in our words.

Garbutt is a working suburb — vans, trade utes, light trucks and the forklifts that never leave the yard. What the owner of any of them wants is not a quote next week. It is to know whether it is the alternator or the battery, and when the vehicle is back in service. That is auto electrical diagnostics more than parts replacement.

FAQ

Garbutt questions.

Do you handle fleet vehicles on account?+
Yes. An account means a driver can drop in and leave without sorting payment on the spot, which is the point of it for a business running several vehicles. Talk to us about setting one up.
Will fitting accessories affect my new ute's warranty?+
The wiring is what matters. Accessory circuits are relayed and fused rather than overloading the vehicle's own wiring. If you are unsure about your warranty terms, check them with the dealer before the fit-out.
Do you work on forklifts and yard equipment?+
Yes — chargers, controllers, lighting, isolators and battery work.
Are you a mobile auto electrician?+
The workshop is where nearly everything gets done, and it is where the full tool kit lives. On-site work is for fleet and commercial accounts, and for plant and machinery that genuinely cannot be moved. It is worked out on the phone rather than booked off a website — we are a small crew and the calendar fills up, so ring us, tell us the job, and we will give you an honest answer on whether it suits a visit or whether the vehicle is better off here.
