How Much do Auto Electrical Services and Repairs Cost?
There's no general price list for auto electrical fixes, as solutions can range from simple to complex. It can also vary depending on the make of the car. Generally, a diagnosis will cost around $90 + GST. Research suggests the average auto electrical bill is around $400 to $700, but simple fixes can be a lot lower. On the other end of the scale, electrical damage can run into the thousands.
Whatever the issue, when organising a quote, we suggest asking:
Whatever the issue, when organising a quote, we suggest asking:
- Does the price include labour? It usually will, but it's best to ask.
- Is GST included? 15% adds up, so make sure the final price you hear and agree to is GST-inclusive. For example, $300 becomes $345 with GST included.
- What is the guarantee period? You want a solution, not a short-term fix, so ask to make sure that the proposed solution offered is final.

DIY Auto Electrical - What You Need to Know
Many minor auto electrical issues, such as changing a battery, light bulb or even spark plugs can be done DIY, and we explain more below. Other projects won't be as simple, and therefore we recommend a professional auto electrician.
Every car has its own DIY solution, and we have found that visiting YouTube and searching "Car and Model Name" + "Car Auto Electrical Issue" brings up the best results. For example, if your Peugeot 206's brake light needs changing, YouTube search 'Peugeot 206 replace brake light bulb'. While this may seem obvious to most, it's a proven way to complete DIY fixes and save money on professional auto electrical.
Anything beyond the basics is, in our view, left to a professional auto electrician, and the list of 10 above is a good place to start.
