Car batteries usually last anywhere from 1 to 5 years depending on the battery type and the conditions under which the battery has been operating under. If your car is driven mainly in the city or on frequent short trips, this could reduce the life of your battery. A regular battery test is recommended to help avoid the inconvenience of being caught out with a flat battery. We are located in Sumner and service customers in the surrounding areas as well and offer;

You could be having problems with your electronic fuel injection (EFI) and not even be aware that this is the cause of your problems.

Things like your car hesitating, not starting, or having poor performance are all tell-tale signs of a potential EFI issue. If your car is having trouble idling or you're sensing an "off" smell when the car is idling or driving you could be smack in the middle of an EFI caused problem. As a certified mechanic, Mr. Spanners Automotive in Sumner can allay all of your EFI concerns.

EFI related services offered by our trained mechanic include:

Having a professional in your corner can save you tons of headaches after the fact. Mr Spanners Automotive are there to address your EFI issues.

Your EFI can suffer from issues related back to your sensors. How sensors work in your car is to collect information from all areas of your car and send that information back to the engine control unit. As you know from past experience with sensors when they are not working, that's really bad news. Things as small as your dashboard lights going out could be the symptoms of ill sensors all the way up to your car actually not starting. Sensor problems could stretch from them having damage and just not being able to read all the way to your sensors being physically knocked out of place.

If you need to get your car back up and running and you're not sure what the issues could be, you could be having problems with something as seemingly insignificant as your cars sensors. Get those sensors checked out and get back on the road!

Book an electronic fuel injection service or repair with Mr Spanners Automotive without delay.

Auto Electrical Service and Repairs in Sumner

Here are some of the common signs that your car's electrical systems need a service:

Growling or whining noise - usually a problem with your alternator belt

Dimming or pulsating headlights - probably means your voltage regulator has gone awry

Electrical items; lights, radio etc. are just not working - could be as simple as a blown fuse or a deeper problem

Loud clicking noise when you turn the ignition key - typical of a problem with your starter motor

No sound at all when you turn the key (and the car doesn't start) - your solenoid is probably the problem here. The solenoid is a coil of wire around two magnets that administers voltage from the battery to the starter motor

Scent of burning rubber or hot wires - this can be the result of a problem with your alternator

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for these problems and you might be able to catch the problems before they leave you stranded somewhere.

Signs you might have an auto electrical issue

When your car will not start, it can be heartbreaking. This never seems to come at a good time either; it always seems to happen when people have somewhere to be. When you have to get back on the road and back on with your day, you need a mechanic in Sumner you can trust.

Without the ignition system the vehicle will not turn on. When there is an issue with your ignition turn to Mr Spanners Automotive for the following reasons:

Peace of Mind: We are a Repco authorised service centre. This means we can offer you that community feel with the Repco Nationwide Warranty. No matter how extensive the service, you can be sure that we will make it a distant memory as efficiently as possible.

Replacement of distributer and distributer cap

Common ignition issues
Our clients visit us for a myriad of reasons. From an alternator which will not catch to a car which will not start, there are several things which can go wrong with the ignition system such as:

Wear and Tear: The battery, spark plugs, distributer cap and wires will not last forever. Replacement of these items at regular intervals prevents larger ignition issues.

Weak Ignition: When spark plugs need to be replaced it is usually not all of them at once. A misfire will cause a weak startup of the car and is your red flag that service will be needed soon.

Battery Issues: A battery can wear out or become corroded. We have the tools to clean and test battery life.

Coil Wire is Frayed: When the charge is not carried to the spark plugs, the ignition fails to catch and the coil wire must be replaced.
