Auto electrical diagnostics & repairs in Sunderland

Warning lights, dead batteries, faulty wiring and starting problems, sorted by a dedicated auto electrician.

What we do

Vehicle electrical faults, found and fixed

Every job starts the same way: read the fault properly, then fix the real cause, without guesswork or swapping parts and hoping.

Fault diagnostics

Warning light on the dash? We plug in, read the codes and test the circuits until we find the actual fault, not just the symptom. You get a clear explanation and a price before any work starts.

  • Engine, ABS, airbag & warning lights
  • Intermittent electrical gremlins
  • Full diagnostic scan & report

Wiring & electrical repairs

Faulty wiring, blown fuses, bad earths, shorts and dodgy connections, traced back to the source and put right.

Batteries

Flat batteries tested and replaced, plus the parasitic drains that keep flattening them found and stopped.

Alternators & starters

Charging faults and starting problems fixed, so the car turns over first time instead of leaving you stranded.

Key programming & replacement

Lost, damaged or dead keys and fobs sorted: cut, coded and programmed to your vehicle.

Not a single review below five stars. For a garage taking on the jobs other places give up on, that says everything.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this place for any electrical fault your vehicle has. Marcus the electrician wizard is brilliant, honest and gets things sorted.

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Had cars in garages where they couldn't find my issue… not only was the price fair, but they found the issue straight away.
Terry Osborne
All sorts of alarms pinging up intermittently on my VW Tiguan. Marcus did a scan and diagnosed a problem with the “black box” attached to the Haldex 4WD system.
Glenn
Would highly recommend Marcus to everyone. I had an electrical issue with my car and had a few people trying to fix it before I came here.
Lindsey Cook
Just bought a used car that needed a few repairs. Kasey booked it straight in. 2 lovely lads, excellent work, very fair price, honest & upfront about the cost.

Auto electrics is all we do

Not a garage sideline.
It’s the specialism.

Plenty of garages treat auto electrics as an afterthought. For us it’s the whole job — diagnostics, wiring and electrical faults, day in, day out. It’s why other places send the tricky jobs our way.

You’ll spot the hand-painted unit on Thompson Road.
