Quick answer: A mechanic works on the mechanical parts of a vehicle (engine, brakes, suspension, steering, transmission). An auto electrician works on the electrical side (batteries, charging, starting, wiring, lighting, sensors, accessories and air-conditioning electrics). Many faults involve both, which is why Elite Fleet Auto - Electrics & Mechanical in Cannonvale does both in the one workshop.
Usually a mechanic job
- Servicing and logbook servicing
- Brakes, suspension and steering
- Engine and transmission repairs
- Oil, coolant and other leaks
- Roadworthy and COI inspection repairs
Usually an auto electrician job
- Car won't start, or the battery keeps going flat
- Charging faults: alternator, battery, dual battery and DC-DC systems
- Wiring faults, lighting, towing electrics and accessories
- Warning lights linked to sensors and modules
- Air conditioning electrical faults and regassing
When it's both
A check engine light, a rough idle or a car that cranks but won't start can be electrical, mechanical, or both. Diagnosis comes first: we test before we replace parts, so you're not paying for guesses. See car diagnostics.
