What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Canberra drivers who have used this Mitchell auto electrician describe a business built on honesty and clear communication. Stew, named repeatedly across different jobs, is praised for diagnosing electrical faults accurately and being upfront about which repairs were straightforward and which were better handled elsewhere. Several customers mention dashcam installations in particular, with front and rear units hardwired so neatly that no cabling is visible, parking mode configured, and the device set up ready to use. Auto air conditioning repairs, caravan brake controller faults and general electrical work on vehicles including a Land Cruiser and work vans also feature in feedback.

A point that comes up often is the willingness to fit people in at short notice when something urgent arises. Reviewers repeatedly mention fair quotes that held even when a job proved more involved than first thought, along with polite, efficient service and tidy workmanship. Buyers who supplied their own equipment report helpful answers to questions right through booking and installation, and the result is consistently described as clean and professional. That mix of expertise, straight advice and careful finishing keeps customers returning for electrical and mechanical work, from dashcams and air conditioning through to brake controller repairs.

Gave a fair quote and still completed the work to a high standard after it turned out to be more complex than initially expected. Would be happy to get work done by Canberra Auto Electrical I'm future 👍

Outstanding service from Canberra Auto Electrical! Took my car in to get a front and rear dashcam installed and they did an immaculate job. The hardwiring is completely seamless with absolutely zero exposed cables, and they even helped make sure it was all set up and ready to go. Professional, efficient, and great communication throughout. If you want a perfectly clean dashcam install, this is the place to go!!

Honestly, such a great experience. We had issues with our new head unit and reverse camera, and I even suggested removing it so we could replace it. But he stayed committed and worked through the problem until everything was up and running properly. In the end, my reverse camera was installed perfectly. His dedication and persistence to make sure I left happy really stood out. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his work and his customers. They truly deserve the Local Business Awards finalist recognition. I don’t think you’ll find anyone more honest or reliable. Fully deserves 5 stars!! Thank you so much.

Stew helped us out at very short notice today and fixed air/con on the spot. Friendly, professional and very courteous. Highly recommended.

I used this business before to fix the power port on my Mitsubishi Outlander and paid $94.35. A few weeks later, I texted late at night (around 10:50 PM) about another car issue — a different vehicle — just to ask politely instead of calling. The next day, I received an unexpectedly rude and unprofessional response. I was told off for texting at night, even though my intention was to be considerate and not disturb by calling. Honestly, his attitude made me feel really disappointed and sad. I was a returning customer who planned to use his service again and even spoke in a friendly manner. I never complained in a harsh way, but somehow I was treated very disrespectfully. I still wonder if I did something wrong to deserve that kind of response. Ironically, only a few days after that, the repair he did on my Outlander failed again. When I asked if it was under warranty, he immediately refused and blamed it on “whatever I was plugging into it.” I then took the car to another auto electrician (Asian Auto Repair in Mitchell), who quickly identified the real issue and fixed it properly for just $30 — a fraction of what I paid earlier. I’ve noticed several other negative reviews about this business, which makes me think I wasn’t the only one who experienced such treatment. I genuinely hope he learns from this and improves both his attitude and his workmanship. Professionalism and respect go a long way.

Had a dashcam installed with parking mode that I bought myself online (Viofo A229 Plus). From booking through to installation they were really helpful in answering my questions. Installation looks super clean and the dashcam was also setup for me on top just the actual installation. Highly recommend!
