Townlec Auto Electrical
Residential

Auto electrician for Kirwan and Thuringowa.

Kirwan is residential, on the Thuringowa side — the everyday faults: a car that will not start, an air conditioner that stopped being cold, a camper trailer that needs wiring before the school holidays.

Why Kirwan is different

Auto electrical work for Kirwan.

Flat battery, tested properly

We test the battery and the charging system together, because a flat battery is often the symptom rather than the fault — a failing alternator will kill a brand new one just as fast.

Starting and charging faults

A starting fault is diagnosed at the workshop, where the whole kit is — battery, alternator, starter motor, earths and the wiring between them. That is where an alternator or a bad earth gets fixed in any case, so it is worth ringing us before buying a battery on a guess.

Camper and trailer electrics

Brake controllers, trailer plugs, camper fridges and dual battery setups. Wired properly, tested before you leave, and wired so the next person to work on it can follow what was done.

Worth knowing

How the work gets booked

Ring us with the symptom rather than the diagnosis — what it is doing, when it started, and whether anything electrical has been added or repaired before. That is usually enough to tell whether you are looking at a battery, a charging fault or something further into the loom, and it decides how much time to set aside. Battery testing and fitting is walk-in; anything that needs diagnostic time gets booked, so a technician has the vehicle for as long as the fault takes rather than half as long.

On the ground

Kirwan in our words.

Kirwan is everyday motoring — battery replacement in Kirwan, starting faults and air conditioning. Nothing exotic, and it is the work where testing properly saves the most money — a battery replaced on a hunch when the charging system was the problem is a bill paid twice.

FAQ

Kirwan questions.

Is it the battery or the alternator?+
Both look identical from the driver's seat, which is why both get tested. A voltage reading with the engine running tells them apart.
Do you wire camper trailers?+
Yes — brake controllers, 7 and 12-pin plugs, fridge and battery circuits.
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.
My car won't start and I can't drive it in. What are my options?+
Ring us first and tell us what it is doing. If a jump start gets it going, bring it in on that start so the battery and charging system can both be tested. If it will not start at all, it can be towed to the workshop. Try not to replace the battery on a guess, because if the fault is somewhere else the car still will not start.
