Our Services
Diagnostics
Whether your car isn’t starting, has an intermittent problem or an engine warning light has illuminated, our technicians will check your vehicle using specialist tools to read fault codes and live data to accurately diagnose the issue and fix it first time.
We use the highest quality replacement parts from the most reputable suppliers in the industry.
Alternators & Starter Motors
A key part of your vehicle’s charging system, the alternator charges the battery when the engine is running and also powers the electrical system. An alternator typically lasts around ten years, so it isn’t something that has to be replaced as often as other parts like the battery. If your alternator fails, your battery will lose its charge since the alternator won’t be able to keep it charged up. A dead battery is your initial sign that something could be wrong with the alternator.
Responsible for starting the engine when you start your car, the Starter Motor draws its power from the battery. It takes that energy and uses it to turn over the engine and start the vehicle. Simply put, without a properly functioning starter, you’re going nowhere.
Our expert auto electricians will comprehensively test your charging system, alternator, starter motor, drive belts, tensioners and pulleys to diagnose the exact issue and have you back on the road in no time.
Heating & Air Conditioning
It is good practice to have a comprehensive air conditioning service every 2 to 3 years to keep the system working perfectly and prevent costly repairs. During an air conditioning service, our specialist team will perform a series of checks to ensure the entire system is in top condition. We check for obvious faults such as drive belt tension, refrigerant leaks, faulty compressor and mounting brackets.
If your car’s air conditioning system isn’t running efficiently, needs a regas, or just hasn’t been serviced for a long time, contact us today and book your car in for an air conditioning service.
If cooling isn’t the issue but your heater isn’t working, we can diagnose and repair all heating faults from blocked or leaking heater cores to failed heater controls.
Lights & Wipers
Whether the problem is your headlights, dash lights, brake lights, indicator lights or even your interior lights, we can help. Remember faulty lights can fail a pink slip inspection or incur an expensive infringement notice.
If your windscreen wipers are misbehaving – working one minute then not the next – we can diagnose and repair your windscreen wiper problems including replacement and or repair of wiper motors and mechanisms, rain sensors and switches.
Batteries
The car battery is still the main cause of roadside breakdowns, especially in the cooler months. Your battery powers everything from the starter and ignition systems to computerised parts and accessories every time you start your car.
Merewether Auto Electrics supplies a wide range of car batteries to fit most makes and models. As always, you get what you pay for, and cheap batteries are rarely a long term solution. At MAE we recommend Century batteries and we’ll give you expert advice on the most suitable battery for your vehicle and the type of use it gets.
We recommend replacing your battery every three years to avoid unexpected problems, but it’s easy to lose track of time, so contact us today to arrange a car battery check – our specialists will accurately report and advise on your car battery’s condition using state of the art testing equipment.
