Auto Electrical Specialists
Modern vehicles rely heavily on their electrical systems, and when something goes wrong, finding the actual cause of the problem can be more difficult than replacing the faulty part.

At 1st Call, auto electrics is one of our specialist areas. With more than 25 years’ experience in the motor trade, we provide professional auto electrical diagnostics, repairs, installations and modifications for customers across St Neots, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
Whether you have a vehicle that won’t start, a warning light that keeps appearing, an intermittent electrical problem or equipment that has stopped working altogether, we have the experience and diagnostic equipment to investigate the fault and get to the root of the problem.
Vehicle Electrical Fault Finding
Electrical faults can be frustrating, particularly when the problem comes and goes or there is no obvious reason for something to have stopped working.
Our diagnostic and fault-finding service can investigate problems with vehicle wiring, batteries, alternators, sensors, lighting, charging systems, electronic control units and other electrical components.
Rather than simply replacing parts and hoping the problem disappears, we aim to identify the underlying cause of the fault and recommend the appropriate repair.
If your vehicle won’t start and cannot be driven to our workshop, we can also arrange collection from your home or workplace.
Classic & Vintage Vehicle Auto Electrics
Our experience isn’t limited to modern vehicles. We can also undertake electrical work on classic and vintage cars, where repairing or recreating wiring requires a different approach.
Where appropriate, we use modern PVC-insulated automotive cable while retaining the appearance and character of the original installation. Wiring can be braided or bound to complement the vehicle, and we use original manufacturer’s colour coding wherever possible.
We also make every effort to source original-style terminals, fittings and wiring accessories. Where components are no longer manufactured, we can identify suitable modern alternatives while remaining sympathetic to the original vehicle.
This makes us a good choice for restoration projects, electrical upgrades and resolving long-standing faults on older vehicles.
