Websites for workshop and mobile auto electricians that tell a driver with a dead battery whether you'll come to them, show caravan owners the dual battery and solar set-ups you've wired, and give fleet managers a quick way to line up camera and beacon installs.
Auto electrical customers turn up with very different jobs. Someone whose car won't crank in a shopping centre car park wants to know, quickly, whether you come out. A couple fitting out a camper for a long trip will read every word about the second battery before they book. A fleet manager wants a dozen utes fitted with beacons and reversing cameras with as little time off the road as possible. Each of them needs a clear route to you.
Name the suburbs and towns the van gets to, and say which jobs you can usually finish on the spot, such as batteries, starter motors or a simple accessory, and which have to come into the workshop. If there's a call-out charge or a minimum, describe how it works so nobody is surprised. On a phone, a tap-to-call button stays within reach on every page, because breakdown calls come from the roadside.
For each 4WD, camper or caravan job: the vehicle, what went in (a second battery, a DC-DC charger, solar input, Anderson points, an electric brake controller, driving lights or a UHF radio) and where it's mounted. Include a photo of the wiring behind the panel as well as the finished canopy, since people planning a big trip look closely at how tidy the loom is. Name the brands you fit and link to each maker's warranty terms rather than restating them.
Caravan owners often ask for an inverter wired to the van's powerpoints. Western Australia's Building and Energy says caravan wiring must comply with AS/NZS 3001 and that only a licensed electrician can install the residual current devices a van must have. If you also hold an electrical licence, show it on the caravan page; if a licensed electrician handles the mains side of your jobs, say that instead. Owners then know who is responsible for which part of the van.
In NSW, auto electrical work sits in the automotive electrician class of the motor vehicle tradesperson certificate, a class that also covers vehicle air conditioning, and the business needs a motor vehicle repairer licence, mobile operators included. NSW also has a narrower electrical accessory fitting class, which excludes hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Western Australia issues repairers who work unsupervised a certificate of registration endorsed for classes of work, including electrical work, electrical accessory fitting and air conditioning work, and anyone running a repair business, mobile ones included, needs a motor vehicle repair business licence. Your numbers go in the footer of every page.
The Australian Refrigeration Council's automotive air conditioning licence covers work on air conditioning fitted to a vehicle's cabin, and the council says workshops servicing systems that use or contain R134a must also hold a refrigerant trading authorisation. An air conditioning page can show both numbers, explain the difference between a regas and tracking down a leak, and say whether you work on cars running the newer R1234yf refrigerant.
Make, model, year and rego, what's going wrong (won't start, battery light on, an accessory to fit), where the vehicle is for a mobile job, and a preferred day. Fit-out enquiries can attach photos of the tray, canopy or van so you can price the parts before it arrives. Fleet customers get a separate short form asking how many vehicles, what types and what needs fitting.
Owners of late-model and European cars sometimes assume only the dealer can trace an electrical fault. Since 1 July 2022, the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Information Sharing Scheme has required carmakers and other data providers to offer Australian repairers the information used to diagnose, service and repair vehicles, at a price no higher than fair market value. If you use that access and proper scan tools, a short diagnostics section naming the makes you work on settles the question early.
There's no auto electrician in our portfolio yet, and we won't dress up another trade as one. Two sites from other fields cover pieces an auto electrical site depends on: a licensed trade whose job photos swipe on a phone, and a booking request form where the customer asks for a date and the business confirms it.
A licensed plumber and gas fitter in Queensland. One page carries six services, 13 project photos that swipe on mobile, client testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call. A run of fit-out photos can be laid out the same way.

Full-day fishing charters out of Cape Jervis, South Australia. The one-page site takes booking requests and gift voucher requests, with a catch photo gallery, an FAQ, reviews, a map and tap-to-call. Request-then-confirm suits fit-outs, where you check parts are in stock before locking in a day.

A mobile operator on their own: the area the van covers, roadside jobs, batteries, a booking request form and tap-to-call, on a single page.
Our suggestion if fit-outs matter to you
$899
A home page, a 4WD and caravan fit-outs page with build write-ups, and a booking page that handles mobile, workshop and fleet jobs.
$1,499
Workshops with several lines of work: fit-outs, air conditioning, diagnostics, batteries, fleet accounts and the mobile service area, each with its own page.
If it's the first thing callers ask, yes. Describe what the call-out covers (travel, the first stage of diagnosis, or both), whether it changes after hours and whether it comes off the bill when you do the repair. If you'd rather quote each job, explain how you do it: over the phone from the symptoms, or once you've had a look. Either way, the question is answered before the phone rings.
Yes. The simplest version is a booking request: the customer picks a preferred day and you confirm once you've checked parts and the diary. If your workshop software or a tool such as Calendly already takes online bookings, the Book buttons can link to it. We can also build a booking and payment system into the site itself, for example taking payment for parts when a fit-out is booked, quoted per job.
The ones customers and regulators can check. In NSW that's your motor vehicle repairer licence and the tradesperson certificate class you hold; in Western Australia, your motor vehicle repair business licence and the classes of work on your certificate of registration. If you work on vehicle air conditioning, add your ARC licence and refrigerant trading authorisation, and if you hold an electrical licence for 240-volt caravan work, show that too. The NSW Government's list of tradesperson categories (opens in a new tab) sets out what each class covers.
Yes, as an online store. Our $799 store suits up to 25 products with one payment gateway and basic order management, enough for a core range of batteries, chargers and wiring kits. The $1,999 store adds unlimited products, multiple payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. If most of what you sell needs fitting, a price list with a call-to-order button may suit you better than a cart, and that works on any of our site packages.
A sole mobile operator usually fits the one-page site at $399. If fit-outs bring in a good share of your work, the 3-page site at $899 gives them a page of write-ups. Workshops running air conditioning, diagnostics, fleet accounts and a mobile van tend to need the 8-page site at $1,499. A site that size takes 2–3 weeks once we have your words and photos.
