Power Problems
Solved. Fast.
Industrial-grade auto electrical diagnostics for cars, trucks, commercial fleets, agricultural machinery and heavy-duty earthmoving equipment. If it runs on 12V or 24V, we fault-find it and fix it — in the workshop or on your site.
Precision Electrical Workmanship
Modern vehicles and machines are rolling computers. We combine dealer-level diagnostic equipment with old-school fault-finding discipline — so you pay for repairs, not guesswork.

Excavators, front-end loaders, TLBs, graders, dozers and rollers.
- Agricultural Machinery
Tractors, harvesters, balers and implements — keeping farms moving in season.
- Commercial Fleets
Trucks, trailers and utility vehicles — with scheduled fleet electrical checks.

Repairs done to spec with quality components — fixed once, fixed properly.
Real Jobs. Real Machines.
Trusted On Every Site
Our TLB went dead on site on a Friday afternoon. C.J was there within the hour, traced the fault and had it cranking before knock-off. Saved us a full weekend of standing time.
Three different workshops threw parts at my bakkie's electrical drain. C.J found the actual fault in one visit and charged me for one repair. That's the difference diagnostics make.
They rewired our harvester mid-season and installed trailer lighting on two new units. Neat work, honest pricing, and they actually answer the phone. Our first call every time.

Mobile Call-Out Repairs
We bring the workshop to you — farms, sites, depots and roadside — with a minimal call-out rate, 24/7.
Test. Prove. Repair.
Every job follows the same discipline: confirm the symptom, test the circuit, prove the fault, quote it — then repair and re-test under load. You get a machine that's verified working, not just "should be fine now".
Heavy Equipment Electrics
Downtime on plant is measured in thousands per hour. We diagnose and repair earthmoving, construction and agricultural machinery electrics on-site — fast, and to spec.
If It Digs, Hauls Or Harvests — We Wire It
/01Excavators
Starting circuits, sensor faults, wiring looms, gauges and safety lockout systems on tracked and wheeled excavators.
/02Loaders & TLBs
Charging systems, starters, lighting and cab electrics on front-end loaders, TLBs and skid steers.
/03Agricultural Machinery
Tractors, harvesters, balers and implements — seasonal-critical electrical repairs done on the farm.
Full competency on heavy-duty 24V charging, cranking and control circuits.
We come to the machine — yard, farm, site or roadside. No low-bed needed.
Burnt, chafed or rodent-damaged looms rebuilt and routed to survive site conditions.
Scheduled electrical inspections that catch faults before they become standing time.
Every Idle Hour Costs You
A grounded excavator can cost an operation R1,500+ per hour in lost production. Our job is simple: get to the machine fast, find the real fault first time, and hand it back working. That's why contractors and farmers across East Griqualand keep our number saved.
Work Gallery
Straight from the field — machines we've diagnosed, rewired and powered back up across Kokstad and the surrounding region.
