Browns Bay’s auto electrical and battery specialists
From a flat battery to a fault no one else can find, the team on Beach Road sorts car electrics properly and fast. Auto electrical diagnostics, starting and charging, auto air conditioning, and a full Battery Town battery centre with free testing.
What we do
Auto electrical, sorted properly
If it runs on the car’s electrics, it is what we do all day. From the battery and the charging system to the wiring, the air conditioning and the engine electronics, it all happens in the workshop on Beach Road.
Auto Electrical Diagnostics
Dashboard warning lights and electrical gremlins traced to the source with the right gear, then fixed properly. You get a straight answer on what is actually wrong.
Starting & Charging
Flat batteries, tired alternators and worn starter motors diagnosed and replaced, often the same day so you are back on the road fast.
Auto Air Conditioning
Car air conditioning that has lost its cool re-gassed, serviced and repaired, so it blows cold through summer and clears a foggy windscreen in winter.
Vehicle Wiring & Lighting
Headlights, electric windows, central locking and general wiring sorted, from a single flickering globe to tracking down a fault buried in the loom.
Battery Supply & Fitting
The right battery for your car, truck, boat, motorhome or mobility scooter, supplied and fitted on site and backed by a 36 month warranty.
Free Battery Testing
Not sure the battery is the problem? Pop in for a free test on the in-store analyser and we will tell you exactly where it stands before you spend a cent.
Marine & Deep Cycle
Marine electrical work and deep cycle setups for boats, caravans and motorhomes, fitted by people who do it every week, not once in a while.
Fuel Injection & Engine Electrics
Fuel injection and engine management faults found at the source, so a rough idle, stalling or a no-start gets fixed rather than guessed at.
Warning light on, or a car that will not start? Bring it in for an honest diagnosis and a straight answer before any work begins.

A North Shore name drivers trust with their electrics
Browns Bay Auto Electrical has built its reputation on Beach Road the only way that lasts, one honest job at a time. Drivers come in for a quick battery test and end up bringing the car back for everything, because the work is done properly and explained straight.
The team is known for fitting people in when it matters. One customer two days before Christmas had an alternator fail in a tight engine bay, and the right part was tracked down and fitted the same day so they could still get to family. Another had the young fella stay back right on closing time just to get the job finished.
Reviewers keep coming back to the same things: friendly staff, a clean workshop, fast turnaround, and people who actually listen. That is the standard here, whether it is a single globe or a full diagnostic job.

Our car started making a whining noise which I researched online. The internet was unanimous that the car might keep running for perhaps only a few hours or even months, its a lottery. Two days before Christmas and I need this car to see family etc so I decided to take it to Browns Bay Auto Electrical to get an expert opinion on how bad it is. They very quickly found the alternator to be faulty and I was lucky the car ran as long as it did. They managed to fit us in, tracked down the correct replacement and fitted same day on a difficult tight engine bay with a lot of parts in the way. This is most definitely our mechanic from now on.
Had a central locking issue on my 1996 Toyota RAV4 along with an AC fault and a 2005 Mini Cooper S with headlight issues. Shane suggested remedies for both and sorted them out promptly, great service from them!
Awesome service! Had an issue with my car and they fixed it super quickly. The young fella even stayed back right on closing time just to get it sorted, which I really appreciated. Really helpful, would highly recommend!
This place is a super place for your vehicle. Very friendly guys was there when I went to test my 12V battery of the Aqua Car. One guy attended to job very quickly and professionally. I was really delighted. This time I went just to test the battery, but next time I will go there with a job. Highly Recommended.
Amazing service. Highly recommended for auto electrical work. Great staff, good clean workshop and pleasant to work. They listen to their clients.
