Find auto electrical help in your part of Geraldton

Geraldton is small enough to cross in minutes, but the auto electrical work still changes from one part to the next. Close to the CBD and Champion Bay, it's salt corrosion, short trips and boat trailers. In Webberton and Narngulu, trucks, plant and trade utes keep the workshops busy, especially around harvest. Down Brand Highway, Dongara and Port Denison add crayfishing boats, caravans and farm vehicles. Start with your area:

What Geraldton does to vehicle electrics

A few local conditions explain much of the auto electrical work around Geraldton:

• Wind and salt. The Bureau of Meteorology's long-term averages put Geraldton Airport's mean 3pm wind speed in January at around 31 km/h. That sea breeze carries salt inland, where it corrodes terminals, plugs and earth points. See how to clean corroded battery terminals.
• Boats and crayfish. Rock lobster fishing is a big part of life from Geraldton to Port Denison. Boat trailers dunked in salt water lose lights and plugs quickly unless they're sealed and rinsed. See why trailer lights stop working.
• Grain and ore freight. The port ships iron ore, grain and mineral sands, and Geraldton–Mount Magnet Road is regularly used by mine and grain road trains. Heavy vehicle lighting and charging faults are everyday work. See signs your alternator needs replacing.
• Long roads north. North of Geraldton, Carnarvon is the only large town on North West Coastal Highway before Karratha. Touring rigs and work utes need dual batteries and charging that won't let them down. See how a dual battery system works.
