Live in Burswood and need an auto electrician? Burswood sits on the river directly across from the city, home to the stadium, a major casino and resort complex and a growing number of apartments, so most local cars are inner-city vehicles that do short trips and park underground.

Common auto electrical jobs in Burswood
Burswood is about 3 km from the city, bounded by the Swan River on three sides. Burswood and Perth Stadium stations are on the Armadale line, and around 2,800 people live among the parks and entertainment venues.
Apartment cars that rarely move
Many Burswood residents walk, train or cycle into the city, so the car sits for days. Modern cars slowly drain the battery while parked, and after a week or two it may not start. A maintainer or a weekly longer drive helps. Our guide on testing a car battery shows how to check it. Clean terminals help a battery last.

Hybrids and EVs underground
Newer apartments in Burswood are full of hybrids and EVs. A flat 12V battery stops them powering up, even with a charged main battery. A jump starter or new 12V battery is the usual fix. High-voltage systems are for licensed professionals only. Some cars hide the 12V battery in the boot or under the floor, so check the owner's manual before you need it. Testing the 12V battery yearly is a good habit for any car that sits a lot.

Dashcams for event days
On big event days, streets around the stadium fill up and cars get bumped. A dashcam with parking mode records any incidents. Wire it through a hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off so it doesn't flatten the battery. A camera with a front and rear lens records both ends of the car, which is useful when a car park or street is crowded. Pick one rated for heat, as cars parked in the sun get very hot.

Keyless entry in busy areas
If keyless entry only works up close or not at all, a flat remote battery is the usual cause. Busy areas with lots of radio signals can also affect remotes. Replace the battery first, then have the system checked if it keeps happening. If your car has a smart key, keep the spare somewhere safe and test it occasionally. Replacing lost smart keys can be expensive and needs specialist programming.

Burswood auto electrical questions
How often should I drive my car if I live in an apartment?
At least once a week for 20 to 30 minutes at steady speed is a good rule. It recharges the battery and keeps the engine, brakes and tyres in good order. If you can't, a battery maintainer is worth considering, especially for newer cars with lots of electronics.
My keyless entry stopped working. Is it the car or the key?
Start with the key. Replace the remote battery and try again. If it still doesn't work, try the spare key. If the spare works, the original key may need reprogramming or replacing. If neither works, the car's receiver or a fuse may be at fault.
Local tip for Burswood
If you live near the stadium, plan ahead on event days. Move the car before the crowds arrive if you need it, or leave it parked until the streets clear. If your car's been sitting for a while before a big night out, start it a day early to make sure the battery's still healthy.
