Auto Electrician in Blackwater

Blackwater sits where Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire meet, and we handle auto electrics from there at our workshop about eight miles away through Sandhurst and Crowthorne. We test properly, explain what we find and quote before we start.

The fault that has gone by the time you get to the garage

Intermittent faults are the hardest electrical jobs: a warning light that comes and goes, a window that only sometimes works, a car that only misbehaves in the wet. The best help you can give us is detail. Note when it happens, whether the engine was hot or cold, and what was switched on. We then wiggle-test the wiring and connectors, check for water ingress and read stored fault codes, rather than telling you we could not find anything because it behaved on the day.

If you need a car electrician in Blackwater, we are about eight miles away on London Road in Bracknell. We also cover Hawley, Darby Green, Frogmore, Minley and Cove, all within reach of the workshop.

Auto electrics in Blackwater: common questions

How far is your workshop from Blackwater?

Our workshop is on London Road in Bracknell, about eight miles from Blackwater via the A3095 and A321 through Crowthorne and Sandhurst. Call 07758 833 127 and we will tell you what we need to know before you bring the car in.

My car keeps going flat, can you find out why?

Yes. A battery that keeps going flat is usually either a tired battery, a charging fault or something drawing power when the car is switched off. We test all three, measure the drain and trace it to the circuit responsible, rather than just fitting a new battery and hoping.

Do you work on classic cars?

Yes. We fault-find older systems that have no fault codes to read, repair or replace wiring looms, and deal with dynamos, regulators, positive earth cars and ignition conversions. We will also help get a car that has been off the road back to running safely.

Can you fit a dash cam or reversing camera?

Yes. We fit dash cams, chargers, reversing cameras and parking sensors, wired in neatly and powered from the right place so they do not drain the battery when the car is parked.

How much does auto electrical diagnosis cost?

It depends on the fault. We give you a clear price before we start, so call 07758 833 127 and tell us what the car is doing.
