R952 to R1,104
Auto electrical inspection, any car. Labour only, no parts.
You see the exact figure for your car before you book.
Guessing is the expensive part
An electrical fault gets a part swapped, and the fault stays. Another part goes in. The actual cause is usually a corroded earth, or a wire chafed through inside insulation that looks perfect from the outside. Parts fitted on a guess are rarely refundable, and these are our own prices for fitting them:
Alternator replacementR1,242 to R11,751
Starter motor replacementR1,035 to R5,852
Battery replacementR952 to R3,323

What is your car doing?
Six faults we are called out for most, and what they usually turn out to be.
The battery is flat again every few days
Something is still drawing current while the car sleeps. A parasitic draw test finds which circuit, usually in under two hours. More on this.
It cranks but will not start
Could be ignition, fuel or the immobiliser refusing to let it run. Worth testing before anyone sells you a starter motor. More on this.
Battery light on while driving, lights dimming
The charging system. Often the alternator, often the heavy cable or the earth strap going to it, and those two cost very different amounts. More on this.
Windows, central locking or wipers dead
A switch, a relay, or a wire broken where the door loom flexes every time the door opens.
The dash lit up with warnings that have nothing to do with each other
Usually one bad earth or low system voltage, not five failed modules. This is the fault people spend the most money guessing at. More on this.
It started after an alarm, tracker or sound system went in
Connections spliced into existing circuits are the most common cause of electrical faults on a car that was fine before.
Not sure which one yours is?
Tell us what the car is doing, in your own words. An auto electrician reads it and calls you back within the hour. You do not need to know what is wrong, that is what we are for.

How we find it
✓
Earths checked firstA corroded earth causes more odd electrical behaviour than almost anything else, and it is the cheapest thing on the car to put right.
✓
Voltage drop measured, not assumedA circuit can read correct voltage at rest and fail completely under load. Measuring it under load is what reveals that.
✓
Traced against wiring diagramsSo we can tell you which circuit and which component were at fault and why, not just that it is fixed now.
✓
Repairs soldered and sealedTwisted and taped joints corrode and fail again within months. Electrical repairs are made properly or they come back.
A fuse that keeps blowing is a short, not a small fuse
Never fit a higher rated one. The fuse is there to protect the wiring, and without it the wiring becomes the fuse. Leave it and call us.
What you get for the money
A named fault, in writing, and a price to fix it
Which circuit, which component, and why it failed. If the repair is ours you get the quote before anything is touched, and the inspection is not charged twice.

Auto electrician questions
What is voltage drop testing?
It measures resistance in a circuit while the circuit is carrying load. A connection can read perfect voltage with nothing switched on and collapse the moment it has to work. That is exactly the fault that replacing parts never finds.
Can a bad earth really cause faults in unrelated systems?
It is one of the most common causes of unexplained electrical behaviour. Current returns through the earth path, so a corroded one starves everything sharing it and produces symptoms that look unconnected. It is also usually the cheapest thing to fix.
My fuse keeps blowing. What does that mean?
A short somewhere in that circuit, most often a chafed wire touching the body. Never fit a higher rated fuse. The fuse is protecting the wiring, and without it the wiring overheats and can start a fire.
Could my alarm, tracker or sound system be causing this?
Very possibly. Aftermarket installations are among the most common causes of electrical faults on otherwise sound cars, particularly where connections were spliced into existing circuits instead of made at proper connection points.
What does the inspection cost?
R952 to R1,104 depending on the car, labour only, with no parts in that figure. A parasitic draw test, for a battery that keeps going flat, is R1,380 to R1,633. Any repair that follows is quoted separately and you see it before anything is touched.
