Residential

Auto electrician for Mount Louisa.

Mount Louisa is established residential — family vehicles, the 4WD that tows the van at Easter, and the boat sitting in the driveway most of the year. Here it is less about fleet downtime and more about gear that has to be reliable when you finally use it.

Why Mount Louisa is different

Auto electrical work for Mount Louisa.

Batteries and Townsville heat

Heat is hard on a battery, and Townsville has plenty of it. We test before we sell, size it for the actual vehicle, and can fit it in store.

Touring and caravan wiring

Dual battery systems, DC-DC charging, brake controllers, 7 and 12-pin trailer plugs, fridge and solar wiring. Set up once, properly, so it works when you are three hours past the last town.

Air conditioning before December

Leak detection, compressor and electrical repairs. Worth sorting before the wet season rather than in the middle of it.

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

Mount Louisa in our words.

A touring setup usually fails at a connection — a crimp, a fuse holder or an earth that was never done properly. That is why caravan and dual battery wiring is worth doing once, with the right cable size and proper fusing, and why a battery replacement in Mount Louisa should come with a charging system test. Get it done before the trip, not the week of it.

FAQ

Mount Louisa questions.

Can you set up dual batteries for a caravan?+
Yes — sizing the bank, DC-DC charging, solar input, fusing and monitoring. Done once properly so it works when you are a long way from help, rather than the cheapest kit that fits.
Do you fit brake controllers?+
Yes — and set them up for the van being towed, because a controller adjusted with an empty trailer behaves very differently once the van is loaded.
How do I know if my battery is on the way out?+
Slow cranking, a dash flicker on start, or needing a jump after sitting a few days. Bring it in and we'll test it — and the charging system with it, because a failing alternator will kill a brand new battery just as fast.
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.
