Common auto electrical jobs in Stonnington and Glen Eira
The work across Stonnington and Glen Eira changes as you move from the inner apartment suburbs to the family streets in the south-east. These jobs come up the most.
Apartment car parks and short trips
In South Yarra, Prahran and the Caulfields, many cars live in basement car parks and only do short trips. That's hard on batteries, which never get a full charge. Modern cars also draw a small current while parked. If you drive only once or twice a week, a battery test every six months is a good idea. Our guide on why a car battery keeps going flat explains the common causes.

Air con on Dandenong Road and the Nepean
Dandenong Road, the Nepean Highway and Warrigal Road all have long queues at peak times. Air conditioning that cools at speed but not in traffic usually has a cooling fan problem. An auto electrician can test the fans, relays and compressor clutch circuit. Any gas work must be done by a licensed technician. Run the air con for a few minutes every week through winter to keep the seals in good shape.

Trailers and caravans in the south-east
In Bentleigh East, Bentleigh and Ormond, bigger blocks mean more trailers and caravans in driveways. Trailer lights fail most often from a poor earth or a corroded plug. Newer cars usually need a proper towbar wiring harness. Our guide on 7-pin and 12-pin trailer plugs helps you choose the right connector. Heavier caravans also need an electric brake controller, and a DC-DC charger keeps the van battery topped up on the drive.

Hybrids and EVs
Hybrids and EVs are increasingly common in these suburbs. Even an EV has a 12V battery, and when it goes flat the car won't switch on. Auto electricians can test and replace 12V batteries and fix accessories, lights and locks. The high-voltage system must only be worked on by licensed professionals, and home charger wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
