Find auto electrical help in your part of Albany

Albany and the towns around it each bring their own kind of work. In Albany, cars parked near Middleton Beach, Emu Point and Princess Royal Harbour battle salt air, while trucks carry grain and woodchips to the port. Inland at Mount Barker, the jobs follow the farming year, with utes, tractors and harvest trucks. West at Denmark, wet forest country, holiday homes and caravans on the South Coast Highway set the pattern. Start with your area:

What Albany does to vehicle electrics

A few local conditions explain a lot of the auto electrical work around Albany and the Great Southern:

• Salt air. Albany wraps around King George Sound, Princess Royal Harbour and Oyster Harbour, and salt carried on the wind corrodes battery terminals, earths and plugs on cars parked near the water. See how to clean corroded battery terminals.
• Wet winters. Albany's winters are mild but wet, with July usually the wettest month. Damp gets into lights and connectors and causes faults that come and go with the weather. See how to check and replace a fuse.
• Harvest season. Each harvest, usually starting in late spring, grain trucks, tractors and headers that sat idle for months go back to work across the Great Southern, and flat batteries and lighting faults come with them. See why a battery keeps going flat.
• Kangaroos and dark roads. Albany Highway, Chester Pass Road and the South Coast Highway run through long stretches of farmland and bush, where kangaroos are common at dawn and dusk and good lighting matters. See how to change a headlight globe.
