Auto Electrical FAQs

My car won't start — is it the battery or something else?

A flat battery is the most common cause, but it could also be a faulty starter motor, alternator, ignition switch, or wiring issue. We test the battery first and work through the starting circuit to find the actual cause.

How long do car batteries last in New Zealand?

Typically three to five years depending on the battery quality, driving habits, and climate. Short trips and frequent stop-start driving shorten battery life. We can test your battery's health in minutes.

Can you install a towbar wiring kit?

Yes. We install towbar wiring looms for trailers and caravans, including plug-and-play kits for modern vehicles that require module-based wiring to work with the vehicle's electronics.

What does the check engine light mean?

The check engine light can indicate hundreds of different issues from a loose petrol cap to a serious engine or emissions fault. We plug in our diagnostic scanner, read the fault codes, and give you a clear explanation of what's actually wrong.
