Red Light Auto Electrics & South West Battery Supplies
Darren and Jaydon squeeze in stranded travellers and sort problems other auto sparkies couldn't find.
The thing you need to know is that this is the place Bunbury locals ring when they need an auto sparky in a hurry, because they will fit you in even when the calendar is full. Darren and Jaydon both get named for diagnosing what others missed, and Tracey in the office is the one who answers busy days without making you feel like an inconvenience. There is real pattern here of caravans, campers and four wheel drives coming in for lithium conversions, brake controllers and wiring that gets fixed properly the first time. Two reviews mention being unhappy with the service or the bill, which is about normal for a business that sees this many rushed jobs. If being told what is wrong and getting back on the road fast matters more than a polished reception desk, this is your place.

About Red Light Auto Electrics & South West Battery Supplies
The rare auto sparky that splits its focus between breakdown diagnostics and proper touring setups. Darren and Jaydon are the names that carry the diagnostic work, and several reviewers mention being rescued after other shops gave up. One customer drove from Perth, had a dead alternator sorted the day before a holiday. Another arrived unbooked with a caravan brake failure and was back on the road the same afternoon. The workshop also handles lithium battery conversions, dual battery systems and brake controllers for people heading off grid. Reviewers keep mentioning Tracey in the office as the person who actually answers calls and squeezes you in. It is a busy yard with the kind of organised chaos you want when you are broken down in a strange town. Not a place for hand-holding, but definitely a place for getting things fixed properly.
Urgent breakdown diagnostics when you need your vehicle back fast, touring and caravan electrical upgrades before a trip, and fixing auto electrical faults other shops have misdiagnosed.

Who should I ask for if I have a tricky diagnostic problem?+
Ask for Darren or Jaydon. Reviews repeatedly name them for sorting out problems other shops could not find, including ignition faults, alternator failures and wiring issues that were misdiagnosed elsewhere.
Can they help if I am travelling through Bunbury and break down?+
Yes. Multiple reviews describe unbooked travellers being squeezed in the same day, including one from Mandurah whose work truck was fixed within a couple of hours. They seem to prioritise urgent breakdowns even when the yard is flat out.
Do they do caravan and 4WD electrical work, not just standard cars?+
Yes, that is a major part of what they do. Reviews mention caravans, campers, four wheel drives and trailers having dual battery systems, lithium conversions, brake controllers and plug wiring fitted or repaired.
Who handles bookings and phone calls?+
Tracey in the office is the main contact for booking and communication. Several reviews specifically praise her for being helpful, knowledgeable and fitting people in at short notice.
What are their opening hours for emergency work?+
Reviews mention them being open on a long weekend and helping people who arrived unbooked, but specific opening hours are not listed in the reviews. Best to call ahead, especially for anything after hours.
