12V & vehicle electronics · Winnellie, Darwin
Auto Electrical Darwin
Dual batteries, DC-DC chargers, lights, UHF, cameras, car audio and the wiring faults that come with Top End heat and dust. Cars, utes, 4WDs and trailers, at our Winnellie workshop.
We’re an electronics workshop, not a mechanic. That means we can repair the module or the head unit itself, not just swap it, and we don’t do engines, air-conditioning or roadworthy inspections.
How it works
Bring the vehicle in. We test. You decide.
Book or drop in
Fit-outs are best booked so we can order parts. Faults can be looked at on a walk-in basis, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm at 4/143 Coonawarra Rd, Winnellie.
We test it
Free diagnosis. We measure the fault or scope the install and give you a written quote for parts and labour.
Done and tested
Everything is fused, labelled and tested under load before you drive off. You get a note of what was fitted and where the fuses are.

Questions
Common questions
Are you a mechanic?
No. We do the electrical and electronic side: batteries, charging, wiring, lighting, comms, audio and the control modules. Engine, air-con, brakes and roadworthy inspections are a mechanic’s job.
Do you install dual battery systems?
Yes. Under-bonnet, tray and canopy installs with DC-DC charging and solar input, using Redarc, Victron, CTEK and similar gear, sized for what you actually run.
My battery goes flat overnight. Can you find why?
Yes. Parasitic drain is measured circuit by circuit until we find what’s drawing current. It’s usually an accessory that was never wired to switch off.
Can you fix my head unit instead of replacing it?
Often. We repair head units, amplifiers and subwoofer amps at the board level. If it isn’t economic we tell you before you spend anything.
Do you wire caravans and camper trailers too?
Yes. That’s a big part of what we do. See the caravan and campervan wiring page.
Do you do 240V work?
We work on the 12V and 24V side and on the electronics. Mains wiring in a shed or a house is a job for a licensed electrician.
Where we work

Before you come in
Tell us what you run and where you go. Fridge size, how many days between power, and what you tow decides the battery and charger, not the brochure.
Diagnosis is free. You get the quote in writing before any chargeable work starts.
