Project Overview
Rewired Electrical has proudly partnered with Auto Masters for a number of years, delivering reliable commercial electrical services across multiple new workshop locations throughout Queensland. As a trusted electrical contractor for their network, our team regularly carries out installations for all new stores, upgrades, test & tag, and ongoing maintenance to keep their workshops operating safely and efficiently.
Auto Masters operates a network of automotive service centres across Queensland, providing mechanical repairs, servicing, tyres, and automotive diagnostics to local communities. Each workshop relies on safe, compliant electrical systems to power specialist automotive equipment, service bays, and customer areas and Rewired Electrical ensures every site meets the highest standards.
The Facility
Auto Masters is a trusted name in automotive repair and servicing across Queensland, offering:
- Mechanical repairs and vehicle servicing
- Tyre fitting and wheel alignments
- Brake and suspension work
- Automotive diagnostics and fault finding
- Pre-purchase inspections and safety checks
With multiple locations across the state, Auto Masters serves thousands of Queensland drivers every year — and our role is to ensure their workshops have the electrical infrastructure to do that safely and efficiently.
The Challenge
Supporting a multi-site automotive workshop network across Queensland presents unique electrical challenges:
1. High-Load Workshop Equipment
Automotive workshops rely on heavy-duty electrical equipment that demands reliable, safe power distribution:
- Vehicle hoists (two-post and four-post lifts) with high starting loads
- Air compressors running continuously throughout the day
- Specialist diagnostic and testing equipment
- Tyre fitting machines, wheel balancers, and alignment systems
- Welding equipment and power tools
Every piece of equipment must be correctly wired, protected with appropriate circuit breakers, and compliant with Australian electrical safety standards to protect staff and customers.
2. Operational Demands — Minimising Downtime
Auto Masters workshops operate during business hours serving customers daily. Any electrical work must be planned and executed to minimise disruption:
- Installations scheduled around workshop operations where possible
- Efficient project management to reduce downtime during upgrades
- Emergency fault-finding and repairs when required to keep workshops operational
- Coordination with other trades during new site fit-outs
3. Multi-Site Consistency & Compliance
With workshops across multiple Queensland locations, maintaining consistent electrical standards and compliance is critical:
- All work must meet AS/NZS 3000 Australian Wiring Standards
- Compliance with Electrical Safety Act 2002 (QLD)
- Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) requirements for automotive workshops
- Test & tag compliance for portable electrical equipment
- Certificates of Electrical Safety provided for all installations and alterations
