Auto electrical
The core of the business for over forty years. Wiring faults traced properly rather than guessed at, on anything from a run-about to a truck.
North Moonta, Copper Coast
Forty years ofauto electricalon the peninsula.
Starters, alternators, air conditioning, log book servicing and tyres, for cars, trucks, caravans, boats and machinery. If it has wiring and it has stopped working, it is the sort of thing we sort out most days.

What we do
Light and heavy vehicles, marine and machinery.
Everything below is on the sign above the door, and has been for years. One workshop on Crutchett Road that covers the electrical side and the mechanical side, which on the Copper Coast saves a lot of driving.
Starters and alternators
Repairs and sales, plus spares on the shelf. Bosch batteries sold here, so a flat one does not have to mean a trip to the city.
Air conditioning and re-gas
Air conditioner repairs and re-gassing. Worth booking before summer rather than during it, when every workshop on the peninsula is chasing the same job.
Mechanical and log book servicing
General mechanical work and log book servicing, so a newer vehicle keeps its warranty without leaving the Copper Coast.
Tyres
Tyres sorted on the same visit as the rest of the work, which saves a second trip to another shop on another day.
Marine and machinery
Light and heavy vehicles, boats and machinery. Electric brakes on caravans and trailers are a regular job here too.
The workshop
A dark shed on Crutchett Road with a yellow sign on it.
Protea Auto Electrical has been going on the Copper Coast for over forty years, in the shed at number 39 with the roller doors open and a few cars waiting on the gravel out the front.
It is the sort of workshop where the sign tells you to phone John, and the reviews tend to mention David by name as well. Most of the work is local. A fair bit of it is not: people towing a caravan down to Moonta Bay who find a fault a long way from their own mechanic.
There is nothing fancy about any of it. Faults get traced properly, the price is what it should be, and the job gets finished.

The sign has said the same thing for a long time: starters and alternators, air conditioning, spares, and light and heavy vehicles, marine and machinery.
