Mount St John. Where the freight moves.
Mount St John is Townsville's primary industrial and logistics precinct — the warehouse run along Ingham Road, the estates behind it, and the freight operators who work out of them. Vehicles here are assets on a schedule, and the electrical work is about keeping them turning around rather than sitting in a yard.
The work round here.
Logistics fleets, not family cars
Prime movers, rigids, vans and forklifts. Charging faults, isolators, beacon and work lighting, trailer wiring, refrigeration electrical. The failures that strand a load are rarely exotic — they are usually earths, terminals and connectors that were never done properly.
Batch the work, not the call-outs
If you run several vehicles from one yard, it is worth listing the niggles and having us work through them in one visit. Cheaper than calling us out three times, and it catches the small faults before they become a breakdown on the Flinders.
Trailer and towbar electrics done compliant
7-pin, 12-pin, brake controllers, LED conversions. Wired properly, fused, sealed against the wet, and tested before it leaves — not spliced into whatever wire was nearest.
Heavy vehicle 24V work
Different rules to a 12V car and a lot of general mechanics would rather not touch it. Isolators, hydraulic interlocks, charging systems, scale wiring.
Every service, on your street.
Every specialty is available in Mount St John — these are simply the ones we get called out for most.

On-site or in the workshop?
For fleets and plant, a visit usually makes sense — several vehicles in one go, or one machine that cannot leave the yard. For a single small job it is generally quicker to bring it in. Either way it is worth batching non-urgent work into one booking rather than calling us out repeatedly, and we will tell you which suits when you ring.
Mount St John in our words.
Mount St John work is almost entirely commercial. Nobody rings us about a warning light because it is annoying — they ring because a vehicle is about to miss a run. Most of it is truck and machinery batteries or a charging fault, and it is why we would rather see a fleet's small faults in one scheduled visit than one at a time as emergencies.
