Wondering what auto electrician prices look like? In Australia, expect labour around $90–$160 per hour, with mobile call-outs often adding $80–$150 and diagnostics $60–$150.

Typical jobs: dash-cam hardwire install $150–$350 labour, dual-battery setup $400–$900 labour (parts extra), alternator replacement roughly $400–$1,200 all-in depending on the car, and trailer wiring $120–$300. City rates trend higher than regional, and late-model or Euro cars can nudge the top of the range thanks to CANBUS trickery. Ask for an itemised quote and warranty on both parts and labour. If a price seems too good, it usually is—unless your cousin’s doing it for a carton, in which case good luck and keep a fire extinguisher handy.
