Expert Auto Electrical & Diagnostics
Expert mechanic and auto electrician in the Inner West with 20 years of experience across all makes and models.
Modern vehicles are more electronic than mechanical. From engine management systems to infotainment, ABS, and lighting, everything is controlled by complex networks of computers and wiring. When these systems fail, you need an expert.

Whether you have a dead battery, a parasitic drain, a flashing engine light, or require a custom dual-battery wire-up, we have the advanced diagnostic tools and the expertise to fix it right the first time.

Vehicles we work on
Whether you drive a daily commuter sedan, a family SUV, a rugged 4WD, a trade ute, a commercial van, or a luxury European performance car, Damien has the expertise to integrate auto electrical & diagnostics seamlessly into your specific make and model.
Advanced Fault Finding and Diagnostics
When a warning light appears on your dashboard, it's merely a symptom of a deeper issue. Simply plugging in a cheap scanner and clearing the code does not fix the problem. At DG Auto, we utilize advanced, dealer-level diagnostic scan tools and oscilloscopes to communicate directly with your vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) and other modules.
Damien's dual expertise as a mechanic and auto electrician is crucial here. He understands both the digital signals sent by the sensors and the physical mechanical actions they control. He can accurately determine if a fault code is caused by a broken wire, a failed sensor, or a mechanical failure within the engine itself.
We take a logical, step-by-step approach to fault finding, testing circuits and measuring resistances rather than just guessing and replacing expensive parts. This professional approach saves you money and ensures the root cause of the problem is permanently resolved.
Starter Motors, Alternators, and Batteries
The starting and charging system is the heart of your vehicle's electrical network. If your car is struggling to start, making a clicking noise, or if the battery light is illuminated while driving, you likely have an issue with the battery, starter motor, or alternator.
We can perform comprehensive load tests on your battery to determine its health. If it needs replacing, we supply and fit high-quality, long-lasting batteries suited to your specific vehicle. We also diagnose and repair or replace faulty alternators and starter motors, ensuring your vehicle starts reliably every time you turn the key.
Furthermore, we are experts at tracking down 'parasitic drains'—those frustrating issues where an unknown electrical component stays on and slowly drains your battery flat overnight.
Custom Wire-Ups and Accessory Installation
Beyond repairs, we offer professional installation of a wide range of auto electrical accessories. If you are setting up a 4WD for touring or a work ute for the job site, we can design and install custom electrical systems to suit your needs.
We expertly install dual battery systems, DC-DC chargers, Anderson plugs, electric brake controllers for towing, driving lights, light bars, and reverse cameras. We use high-quality wiring, proper fuses, and secure connections, ensuring your accessories operate safely and reliably in the harshest Australian conditions.
A poorly installed accessory can cause massive electrical interference, blow fuses, or even cause a vehicle fire. Trust a qualified auto electrician to handle your custom wire-ups.
