What Does an Auto Electrician Do?

An auto electrician specialises in car electrical repairs and is usually able to fix problems with your wiring, electrics and the other parts of your car that rely on them.

Auto electricians can often come to you and complete at-home car repairs - mainly because the issues they’re skilled at fixing leave your car undriveable.

 

Signs You Need an Auto Electrician

Not sure if an auto electrician is what your car needs?

Any of the following signs can indicate that booking an auto electrician is what's best for your car:

  • Your car won’t start or struggles to turn over
  • The headlights or interior lights are dim
  • The radio audio keeps cutting in and out
  • Your immobiliser isn’t working or you can’t turn your car alarm off
  • Your car has a blown fuse
  • The electric windows are stuck or won’t open or close properly
  • Illuminated electrical dashboard warning lights

 

These warning signs can indicate a range of issues which an auto electrician can fix for you.

 

Why Should I Book an Auto Electrician?

Auto electricians have the expert knowledge and proper equipment to solve your car problem effectively.

You shouldn't attempt major electrical repairs yourself - auto electricians are relatively cost-effective and provide quality repairs that can save you from other problems later down the line.

Everything from battery replacements to alternator repairs can be carried out by auto electricians.

 

Finding the right auto electrician can be tough, especially as they can be few and far between.

We do all the hard work for you, offering effortless, transparent comparison to help you find a suitable auto electrician for your vehicle.

As part of our mission to connect every UK driver with their perfect maintenance provider, we work with a range of garages and mobile mechanics across the country to get you moving again as soon as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Depending on what electrical problem you’re suffering with, your repair can take anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes through to 2-3 hours and beyond. Most common repairs take 1-2 hours to complete, but your chosen auto electrician will be able to provide a more accurate completion time once they’ve inspected your vehicle.
If the audio of your car radio keeps dipping in and out, and you’re confident that it’s not due to a lack of signal, there is probably a loose connection or faulty wire within the sound system itself.

To fix this issue, you will need to contact a qualified car electrician so they can come and inspect the system wires and installation.
If your car won’t start, you need to work out what the problem is. As it could be one of many things (including a flat battery, broken alternator or faulty starter motor), your best option is to find a local auto electrician or contact your recovery provider to come and diagnose the issue for you.

They will then be able to assist you with the best course of action to get your car started again, whether that means changing the battery, jumpstarting the car or towing you to a local garage for more extensive repairs.
Your car lights could be dim because they are dirty, need to be replaced, or aren't getting the power they need due to a depleted battery or faulty alternator.

You can book an appointment with an auto electrician if the latter applies to your vehicle and/or your car feels sluggish.


If you clean the headlights or change the bulb and they no longer seem dim, you won’t need to take any further action.
Some local garages may offer electrical repairs, but not everyone will be able to complete them as they usually require specialist skills.

If you have a preferred garage in mind, either one you’ve found through our comparison site or your usual trusted provider, we recommend contacting them directly to discuss your requirements, booking an appointment over the phone if they can help.
You may be able to drive with minor electrical faults such as faulty electric windows or if there’s a problem with your radio, although it may be uncomfortable to do so.

If there’s an issue with your car’s battery or alternator, you may not be able to start it in the first place and so can’t drive the vehicle.

Other issues, like faulty wiring or fuses, may make your car unsafe to drive so you should avoid doing so until you can get it fixed. If there’s an issue with your immobiliser or car alarm, keeping it securely locked in a garage will help reduce the chances of it being stolen until the issue is resolved.

If you’re unsure about whether you can drive your car when it has an electrical fault, we recommend erring on the side of caution and leaving it safely parked at home until you can get an appointment with an auto electrician.
Specialist car electricians may be few and far between, although many mobile mechanics are able to assist with a range of electrical car repairs. Your recovery provider may also be able to help.

We recommend searching for recommendations near you via local directories, forums, social media groups or on featured search results. This will ensure you find a specialist auto electrician that can offer a high-quality repair.
We recognise the very best performing garages in your area with a Silver, Gold or Top Tier badge. These badges help you spot garages that deliver customer service that goes above and beyond for drivers, offering great value, high standards and satisfaction/high ratings.
Garages marked as BMG Verified have been physically visited and vetted by our team to ensure they meet clear service standards.
Yes, many garages offer a 12-month parts and labour warranty as a guarantee on their repair work.

Some also display their industry accreditations, qualifications and awards as proof of their experience and expertise.
You can select ‘Mobile Mechanics Only’ to filter static garages out of the results if you need a mobile technician to fix your car.
Absolutely. True value looks different to everyone so, whether you want the nearest garage, the best-rated option or the lowest price, you can use the Sort By menu in the top-right corner to compare results by Price, Distance, Availability or Reviews - whatever matters most to you.
Yes, we encourage garages on our comparison site to provide same- or next-day repair slots wherever possible to help get your life back on track sooner.

Select tomorrow’s date from the calendar on the left-hand sidebar to compare local garages with next-day availability. Please note that unexpected circumstances can leave garages unable to fulfil next-day car repairs at short notice.

We recommend receiving confirmation from your chosen garage before arriving for the appointment to avoid any additional stress.
We never ask for payment details upfront.

Once you’ve chosen your garage, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.

Some mobile technicians may request some commitment or payment upfront to cover the costs of them coming out to you.
