Exactly as the title asks folks. Please could you recommend me one.

I have had Phillips in Rodney Road recommended and have the car booked in but am feeling a little unsure after speaking to the guy I booked the car in with. irked

Apparently he won't be working on the car so will see after I've spoken to the main guy looking at her but in the mean time do any of you know anyone or are auto electricians yourself?!

Thanks in advance.

Would help if you explained what you want done... fault diagnosis, radio install, alarm install or ??

Fault diagnosis, it's an intermittent problem with my 355, Shiltech who look after it recommend getting a good auto electrician to do some tests on the car (coordinated with them) and address what I've already identified (but am unable to do myself).

If I take it to Rardley or god forbid Meridian they will simply use an auto electrician themselves and I have the hassle of getting the car there. After speaking with Shiltech they seem confident that it is a minor wiring issue that should be an easy fix so getting transported somwhere seems like overkill. That is what i'll do though, if I don't have any luck locally.

I've used Phillips Auto Electrical many times over the past 8 years, both personally and for work.

Their work is top notch, and they are very knowledgeable.
They certainly like a challenge.

The receptionist is a little confused, but the lads it the workshop are the best I’ve encountered.
