The Mount Gravatt district takes in the suburbs around the hill and its lookout: Mount Gravatt, Upper Mount Gravatt and Mount Gravatt East, out to Carina and Carindale in the east and Eight Mile Plains and Rochedale in the south. The work mixes family and commuter cars with business park fleets and warehouse trucks along the motorways.

Common auto electrical jobs in Mount Gravatt

Hills, motorways, shopping centres and business parks all sit within a few kilometres of each other around Mount Gravatt, so each suburb brings its own kind of work.

Dashcams for the motorways

Thousands of drivers from Upper Mount Gravatt, Eight Mile Plains and Rochedale join the Pacific or Gateway Motorway every day. A front and rear dashcam records what happens in a crash or a near miss, which helps sort out who was at fault. Hardwiring the camera to the fuse box keeps cables out of sight, but use a kit with a low-voltage cut-off so parking mode can't flatten the battery.

Short trips to the shops and schools

With big shopping centres at Upper Mount Gravatt and Carindale and plenty of schools, many cars here do short, stop-start trips between home, school and the shops. That leaves batteries undercharged, and Queensland heat shortens their life. A slow crank on a cool morning is the usual warning. Our guide on how to test a car battery shows you how to check yours before it fails.

Warehouses and fleets on the Gateway

Warehouses beside the Gateway Motorway at Rochedale and the offices of the Brisbane Technology Park at Eight Mile Plains keep trucks, forklifts, delivery vans and company cars on the road. Trucks often run 24V systems, and forklifts need working beacons and reversing alarms. Fleet vans add fridges, inverters and lights over time. Neat, fused and labelled wiring makes every vehicle quicker to fix when something goes wrong.

Air conditioning on the hills

Climbing Mount Gravatt's hills in summer traffic puts the engine and air conditioning under load at the same time. If the air goes warm on a climb or at the lights, the cause may be electrical: a cooling fan that isn't switching on, a faulty relay or a pressure switch. Our guide on common car air conditioning problems explains the symptoms. Refrigerant work needs a licensed technician.
