A Few Words from Chris
Hi, I’m Chris Notte, owner operator at Autoplus WA.
For more than 25 years our family workshop has kept Perth’s eastern suburbs moving.
Auto electrical faults can be tricky because modern cars rely on sensors, modules and wiring that all need to work together, so the only real way to fix it properly is to test, trace and confirm the cause.
That means checking the battery and charging system, scanning for fault codes, and inspecting wiring and connections where needed.
We focus on finding the root issue first, then talking you through the best fix in plain English.
What you can expect from my team:
- Proper diagnostics first – we test before we replace, so you are not paying for guesswork.
- Modern scan tools and electrical know-how – accurate fault finding across starting, charging, lighting, accessories and warning lights.
- Plain-English advice – no jargon. If something is worn, damaged, or causing a drain, we will show you and explain your options.
- Convenience and care – four day work week, early key drop and after hours pickup so we can work around your schedule.
- We stand behind our work – lifetime workmanship warranty and complimentary roadside assistance for six months on repairs.
If anything still does not feel right after your repair, come back and we will re-check it at no extra charge.
We want to be trusted, local mechanics for the long haul.

Signs you Need an Auto Electrician
Modern vehicles are packed with computers, sensors, high‑current wiring, and various electrical components such as starter motors and alternators. When things go wrong, they usually give you subtle hints before they fail completely.
Catching these symptoms early can save you a tow truck and sometimes your car’s pricey electronics.
Engine won’t start or cranks slowly
Turn the key and hear a single click or the starter groans but the engine never fires? That classic “rr‑rr‑rr… nothing” usually points to a flat battery, corroded terminals or a worn‑out starter motor that’s drawing too much current.
Battery or charging‑system light on the dash
A glowing red battery icon means the alternator isn’t keeping the battery topped up. The light might flicker at idle, get brighter with the headlights on or appear alongside sluggish interior electrics, classic signs your charging system needs attention.
Flickering or dim headlights
Headlights that pulse with engine speed, fade at stoplights or suddenly brighten when you rev the engine indicate voltage instability. Loose earth straps, failing alternators or wiring corrosion are common culprits.
Burning‑plastic smell or visible wiring damage
A hot, acrid odour inside the cabin or under the bonnet often means insulation is melting around an overheated cable. Left unchecked, it can lead to circuit failure or worse, an electrical fire.
Blown fuses that keep recurring
Replacing the same fuse more than once is a red flag. Persistent fuse failure suggests a short circuit or component over‑draw that can damage wiring looms and control modules if ignored.
Power windows, mirrors or locks stop working
Accessories that move sluggishly, stop mid‑travel or refuse to respond can point to tired motors, jammed regulators or broken wiring inside the door‑jamb harness.

Auto Electrical Services FAQ
Do you service vehicles with smart alternators and stop‑start systems?
Yes. Our equipment and training cover smart alternators, AGM/EFB batteries and idle‑stop tech.
Can a flat battery damage my car’s computer?
Repeated deep‑cycling causes voltage spikes that can harm sensitive modules. We test the whole charging system to protect your ECU.
How long does a battery replacement take?
Most swaps with memory save and system reset are done in under an hour.
Do you install new reverse or parking cameras?
No — we don’t install aftermarket camera systems. However, we diagnose faults in existing camera setups, whether factory-installed or aftermarket, and can provide a detailed report for insurance or repair purposes.
Can you fix a camera if it's not working?
If the issue is related to wiring, connections, or display faults, we can often assist. For screen or camera unit replacements, we’ll guide you on your best next steps.
Can I get a written diagnostic report for insurance?
Yes — we regularly provide diagnostic reports for insurance claims. Just let us know when booking that it’s for an insurance assessment.
Will using an independent auto electrician void my new‑car warranty?
No. We follow manufacturer procedures and use compatible parts, including module software updates so your warranty stays protected under Australian Consumer Law.
Can you service hybrids or EVs?
Absolutely. Our technicians are high‑voltage certified and equipped for hybrid & electric‑vehicle work.
