A work ute with a flat battery on Monday morning, a van whose beacons have stopped working, a truck with a 24V charging fault. These are everyday jobs for our Logan auto electrician workshop. As a fleet auto electrician in Logan, we book work vehicles in, trace the fault and fix the wiring properly.
We repair and fit out commercial vehicles at our Logan-based workshop close to Slacks Creek and Springwood. That covers 12V and 24V systems, beacons, work lights, reverse alarms, accessory power and cameras. As a commercial vehicle auto electrician, we find the fault first, then fix it properly. Where it makes sense, we also check the wiring around the fault so the same problem does not return.
Logan's industrial corridor, home to the planned Crestmead Logistics Estate with access to the Logan and Gateway Motorways, runs on work vehicles. We put quotes and notes in writing, vehicle by vehicle, so you know what each one needs, and nothing is a surprise on the day you collect it. We work on utes, vans and light trucks. Call 07 3566 2108 or use the quote form on this page to book the vehicle in.
Work vehicles run hard and carry extra gear, so their electrics wear differently to a family car. These are the jobs that come through our workshop most.
Most work vehicle faults trace back to charging, starting or a slow drain. Tools, chargers, lights and aftermarket accessories all draw from the battery, and a loose or poorly fused connection can run it flat overnight. We test the battery, alternator and starter, then find what is pulling power. A work ute auto electrician job is only done when the vehicle starts every morning, and we test it that way before you collect it.
Light trucks often run 24V systems, and a charging, starting or lighting fault there needs the right test gear and the right parts. As a truck auto electrician, we check the batteries as a pair, the alternator output and the wiring between them. Dim headlights, slow cranking and repeat flat batteries all point somewhere. We find where, and tell you before we fix it. A 24V fault can hide in a single corroded terminal, so we test each connection along the way.
Sites expect work vehicles to be lit and audible. We fit beacons, work lights and reverse alarms so each one is switched from the cab, fused at the source and wired to its own circuit. Reverse alarms are wired to the reverse circuit, so they sound when the vehicle backs up and not otherwise. We run the cable neatly and protect it where it passes through the body, so nothing rubs through after a few months on the road.
Inverters, dual battery systems, fridge supplies and tool chargers all ask a lot of a work vehicle's electrics. We size the cable and fuse to the load, then wire it so the starting battery stays protected. That means the tools charge and the ute still starts. If your vehicle already has gear fitted, we check it over and sort out the weak links before they leave you stuck. We label what we fit, so the next person to open the cab can follow it.
Work vehicles earn money when they're running, so we keep the process simple and clear from the first call through to the final notes.
Call or send the form with the vehicle and the fault. The drop-off time is confirmed with your booking, and several vehicles can be booked in together. You drop each one at the workshop, and we start with the fault you described.
We test the electrical system and trace the fault. Then we write up what we found on each vehicle: what failed, what it needs, and anything else we noticed that could bite later. You get findings per vehicle, in writing.
Nothing gets done until you approve the quote. Once you do, we repair or fit what was agreed and test it again afterwards. If we find something new part way through, we stop and check with you first. You stay in charge of what gets done and what waits.
We keep notes for each vehicle: what we found, what we fitted and where it runs. When the same vehicle comes back, or the next one in the fleet has the same fault, we're not starting from scratch. The notes sit with the vehicle, not in anyone's head.
Book the vehicle in and we'll test it and price the repair before any work starts.
In the year to June 2025 the City of Logan counted 137,224 local jobs, with a gross regional product of about 20.6 billion dollars. Plenty of that work runs on utes, vans and light trucks.
Crestmead Logistics Estate is a planned 1.5 billion dollar development, set to deliver 650,000 sqm of warehousing, business, logistics and manufacturing space. It sits in Logan City Council's industrial corridor, with access to the Logan and Gateway Motorways. The estate is about 6.4 km from the Logan Motorway and Gateway Motorway interchange and is served by the upgraded Wembley Road Interchange. Council has also approved the Mapletree Logistics Park there, about 200,000 sqm of logistics warehousing.
That's a lot of vehicles moving through one corridor. We're a Logan-based workshop close to Slacks Creek and Springwood, and commercial vehicles book in with us for repairs and fit-outs.
Here is what you can expect on every commercial vehicle we book in, whether it's one ute or a row of vans.
Every vehicle gets its own written quote, and you approve it before we start. The quote says what the fault is, what we'll do and what parts are involved. That lets you decide vehicle by vehicle, and you can see exactly where the work is going. If the job changes, we send an updated quote before any extra work starts.
Every circuit we add is fused, protected and labelled. Cable is sized for the load and run in loom away from heat and moving parts. Joins are made with proper connectors, not twisted and taped. Good wiring is the difference between a fit-out that lasts and one that comes back with a fault.
After each job you get notes on what was found and what was fitted. If a vehicle comes back later, those notes show what's already been done and where the wiring runs. It saves time on the next fault, and it helps when you are working out which vehicle in the fleet needs attention next.
Fleet electrical work varies a lot from one vehicle to the next. A flat battery on a ute is a different job to a full fit-out on a van. As a guide, auto electrical labour typically runs about A$90 to A$150 an hour (ServiceTasker, Feb 2026), with parts on top. These are the things that move the price, and the final quote for each vehicle is given on inspection. Fill in the form beside this page and we'll get started.
Whether the vehicle runs 12V or 24V matters, and so does access. A tight engine bay or a cab full of gear takes longer to work around than an open one.
One beacon is a short job. A full fit-out with lights, alarms, accessory power and cameras involves more cable, more fuses and more time.
Several vehicles of the same type can often be scheduled together. We'll plan the booking with you and quote each one.
A dead battery is quick to find. An intermittent fault that comes and goes takes longer, because we have to catch it in the act.
Yes, we work as a 24V auto electrician on light trucks, as well as 12V utes and vans. That covers charging, starting and lighting faults. We keep to utes, vans and light trucks, so ask us first about anything heavier.
Yes, we fit beacons and work lights to utes. They're switched from the cab, fused and wired to the vehicle's own circuits. We run the cable neatly and protect it where it passes through the body.
Yes, we fit reverse alarms to work vehicles. We wire them to the reverse circuit so they sound when the vehicle backs up. The wiring is fused and protected like any other circuit, with the alarm mounted where it can be heard.
Yes, you can book several fleet vehicles in together. We schedule them with you and quote each one separately. Tell us how many vehicles and what each needs when you call or send the form.
Yes, we work on vehicles from the Crestmead industrial area. The planned Crestmead Logistics Estate is a large part of Logan's industrial corridor. Book the vehicle in, drop it at our workshop and we work through the fault from there.
Call 07 3566 2108 or send the form with the vehicle and the fault. We'll book the work vehicle into the workshop and take it from there.
