Expert auto electrical solutions for all makes and models across North-West Tasmania.
At Ultra Auto Electrical, we offer six core auto electrical services covering everything from advanced computer diagnostics through to full vehicle rewires, battery and charging system repairs, lighting upgrades, 4WD and fleet fitouts, and complete car audio builds. Whether you drive a late-model passenger car, a commercial ute, or a heavily-modified 4WD, our technicians have the skills and equipment to handle it.
Based in South Burnie, we service customers across all of North-West Tasmania — including Burnie, Devonport, Ulverstone, Wynyard, Smithton, and surrounding areas. All work is carried out to the highest standard, with honest pricing and no hidden fees.
Heading bush, crossing the island, or taking on a serious overland trip? Your rig needs to be electrically self-sufficient before you leave the bitumen. Ultra Auto Electrical specialises in off-grid power systems for 4WDs, caravans, and camper trailers — engineered properly, installed cleanly, and built to survive real Australian conditions.
Electrical faults are some of the most frustrating issues to chase down — especially when they’re intermittent. Our auto electricians have the diagnostic capability and hands-on experience to find the problem fast and fix it properly.
A flat or failing battery at the wrong moment is more than an inconvenience — it costs time, money, and sometimes safety. Ultra Auto Electrical stocks and installs batteries across every application, from passenger vehicles and motorcycles through to marine, commercial, and heavy transport. We also design full dual battery systems for touring and off-road use, with proper charging management built in from the start.
Good lighting isn’t optional — it’s a safety issue. We supply and install a full range of vehicle lighting solutions, from high-output LED light bars and long-range driving lights for off-road use, to work lighting, reversing lights, and interior LED upgrades. Whether you’re fitting out a 4WD for the bush or lighting up a work ute for early starts, we’ll do it right.
Whether you’re managing a fleet of work vehicles, protecting high-value plant and equipment, or keeping an eye on a single asset, we can install a tracking solution that actually works. We supply and fit GPS tracking hardware wired directly into your vehicle or equipment — reliable, discreet, and tamper-resistant. No OBD dongles, no loose connections, no guessing if it’s still transmitting.
Your vehicle doesn’t have to make do with factory standard. We install and upgrade car audio systems, fit dash cameras with clean hidden wiring, and supply and install security systems that actually protect your vehicle. From a single head unit swap to a full speaker and amplifier build, or a comprehensive security fit-out — we do it properly the first time.
A standard OBD2 diagnostic scan typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of fault codes stored and which systems need to be investigated. If the fault requires hands-on testing of individual components — sensors, wiring circuits, or actuators — it may take longer. We'll always give you a clear timeframe when you book, and we'll explain our findings before carrying out any repair work.
Yes — we work on all makes and models, including Australian-market Japanese, Korean, European, and American vehicles. Our diagnostic equipment supports a wide range of manufacturer-specific protocols, so we're not limited to generic OBD2 scanning. We also service light commercial vehicles, 4WDs, campervans, trailers, heavy vehicles, and agricultural machinery. If you're unsure whether we can help with your specific vehicle, just give us a call.
In most cases, work is carried out at our workshop in South Burnie, where we have all the tools, equipment, and lighting needed to do the job properly. For fleet operators or for certain mobile electrical work, we may be able to arrange a mobile visit depending on the nature of the job and your location. Contact us to discuss your situation and we'll find the best solution.
Common signs of a failing battery include slow engine cranking, a battery warning light on your dashboard, or a battery that keeps going flat. Alternator problems often show up as dimming headlights, electrical accessories behaving erratically, or a warning light shaped like a battery. However, these symptoms can overlap, which is why a proper load test and voltage test is the only reliable way to identify which component is at fault. We can test both quickly and accurately at our workshop.
Absolutely. We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. Once we've assessed your vehicle or discussed your job requirements, where possible we'll provide a clear quote before any work begins. We won't proceed without your approval, and we won't hit you with unexpected charges at the end of the job. For straightforward services like battery replacements or head unit installations, we can often give you a quote over the phone.
