Hermanus Branch

Auto Electrical Repairs & Diagnostics

Electrical faults are the ones that drive owners mad: intermittent, hard to find and easy to misdiagnose. Our Hermanus branch has a qualified auto electrician who tracks down wiring, sensor and electrical problems properly, so the fault is fixed, not just reset.

Got Questions?

Auto Electrical - FAQs

Why are electrical faults so hard to find?

Because they are often intermittent and can be caused by anything from a corroded earth to a failing sensor or chafed wiring. That is why methodical testing matters. Guessing and replacing parts gets expensive fast, so we diagnose properly first.

My ABS, traction or airbag warning light is on. Can you help?

Yes. These lights point to a specific fault, often a wheel speed sensor, wiring or, in the case of the airbag light, a worn clock spring. We diagnose the exact cause and repair it so the light stays off, rather than just clearing the code.

Do you replace car batteries and auxiliary batteries?

Yes. We test the whole charging side, the battery, alternator and, on many modern cars, the smaller auxiliary battery, then supply and fit the correct replacement so you are not left with repeat flat-battery problems.

Can you repair power windows and central locking?

Yes. Window regulators, switches, central locking and door wiring are common electrical jobs for us. We strip the door, find the failed part or broken wire and repair it.

Do you have a qualified auto electrician?

Yes, at our RMI-approved Hermanus branch. Auto electrical fault finding and repair is one of the services offered there, alongside general servicing and repairs.

Which branch offers auto electrical work?

Auto electrical work is offered at our Hermanus branch only. If you are in the Randburg area, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
