Powering Your Fleet: Expert Heavy Diesel Engine Electrical Services in Maitland
Keep your heavy diesel vehicles and machinery operating at peak performance with East Coast Diesel & Auto Electrical — Maitland’s trusted specialists in mobile heavy diesel engine electrical services.
Whether you manage a transport fleet, operate civil machinery, or rely on agricultural equipment, our qualified team delivers fast, accurate, and on-site repairs that keep your business moving.
When electrical faults shut down your heavy diesel engine, every minute of downtime costs money. At East Coast Diesel, we bring the workshop directly to you.
Our mobile auto electrical service eliminates towing expenses, scheduling delays, and workshop bottlenecks — helping you get back to work faster.
Our technicians are equipped with the same advanced diagnostic and repair technology used by dealerships, allowing us to test, diagnose, and repair complex electrical faults on-site — anywhere across Maitland, the Central Coast, and the Hunter Valley.
We provide electrical support for all major heavy diesel makes and models, including Volvo, Mack, Kenworth, Scania, Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, Isuzu, and Hino.
Whether you operate a single work vehicle or an entire fleet, we ensure every machine runs reliably, efficiently, and safely.
Electrical breakdowns rarely happen at a convenient time — often occurring in remote job sites, quarries, or on transport routes.
Our on-site mobile service was designed to eliminate unnecessary downtime and costs:
No towing fees: We come to you, wherever your vehicle or equipment has stopped.
Immediate diagnostics: Identify and fix faults before they escalate into costly repairs.
Minimise disruptions: Keep projects on schedule and fleets in motion.
Full workshop capability, on the road: From ECU resets to wiring repairs, we handle it all.
Our goal is simple — to restore your vehicle’s electrical systems to full working order as quickly as possible, with reliable repairs that last.
Modern diesel engines are controlled by sophisticated computer systems. These monitor performance, regulate fuel delivery, manage turbo boosts, and protect the engine from potential damage. When an electrical fault occurs, it takes more than guesswork to find the cause — it requires precision diagnostics.
At East Coast Diesel, we use manufacturer-grade scan tools and diagnostic software compatible with most heavy vehicle brands. This allows us to:
Perform complete ECU fault tracing and resets
Conduct live data logging to detect intermittent electrical issues
Reprogram modules and update firmware
Test communication systems such as CAN bus and LIN networks
Diagnose ABS, transmission, SRS, and DPF system faults
Whether you’re dealing with an illuminated engine light, fuel injection fault, or electrical malfunction affecting performance, we identify the issue fast and fix it correctly the first time.
Comprehensive Heavy Diesel Electrical System Breakdown
Our technicians are highly trained in diesel-specific electronics, understanding how electrical and mechanical systems work together — from fuel delivery to turbo controls.
This means every repair not only restores function but also improves efficiency, performance, and fuel economy. Electrical faults in heavy diesel engines can appear anywhere across multiple systems. That’s why we provide end-to-end solutions covering every electrical component.
Starting & Charging Systems
A slow crank, no start, or flickering lights are often signs of starting or charging issues. Our team tests and repairs:
- Starter motors and solenoids
- Alternators and regulators
- Battery condition and load capacity
- Voltage drops and power draw faults
- Heavy-duty wiring and terminal corrosion
We use high-accuracy testing equipment to measure charging output and cranking voltage under load, ensuring your vehicle’s electrical supply is reliable even in harsh working conditions.
If required, we provide battery replacements, alternator rebuilds, and heavy-duty wiring upgrades to keep your fleet performing at its best.
Fuel Injection & Intake Systems
Diesel engines depend on precise electronic fuel management.
When sensors, injectors, or wiring develop faults, it can cause:
- Poor fuel economy
- Rough idling or stalling
- Difficulty starting in cold weather
Our technicians conduct on-site injector diagnostics, fuel pressure testing, and airflow sensor calibration.
We also inspect throttle actuators, boost pressure sensors, and glow plug circuits to ensure the entire intake and combustion process runs smoothly.
By combining electrical testing with mechanical knowledge, East Coast Diesel can detect the root cause of issues — whether electronic or mechanical — and restore your system’s balance efficiently.
Wiring, Fuses & Lighting
Wiring problems are among the most common and frustrating faults in heavy vehicles.
Over time, constant vibration, dust, and moisture exposure can cause wiring looms to chafe, corrode, or short circuit.
We provide comprehensive wiring inspections, fuse box repairs, relay testing, and lighting upgrades, including:
- Fault tracing for intermittent shorts and open circuits
- Rebuilding or replacing damaged wiring looms
- Installing work lights, auxiliary power, and safety beacons
- Repairing or upgrading headlight and taillight systems
Every repair is completed using high-grade connectors, sealed joins, and heat-shrink protection to withstand the toughest Australian conditions.
