How it works
No tow truck. No leaving it with someone for a week.
The whole outfit lives on the back of the truck. Diagnostic gear, crimping and soldering tools, terminals, cable, relays, fuses and a full set of drawers. That means the job usually gets finished where the vehicle or the machine already is, which on a farm or a boat ramp is the only sensible way to do it.
- 1Ring and describe itTell us what it is doing, what it is not doing, and roughly where you are. Half of auto electrical is narrowing it down before anyone turns a spanner.
- 2We come to youHome, farm, worksite, boat ramp or the side of the road. From Bombala across to the coast and from Bemboka down to Eden.
- 3Fault found, then fixedProper diagnosis first, so you are paying to fix the actual problem rather than replacing parts until it goes away.
What we do
Auto electrical and mechanical, on site.
A fair spread of work, which is what happens when you are the mobile sparky for a stretch of coast that runs from dairy country to a fishing port.
Auto electrical
The bread and butter. Finding the fault, fixing the fault, and leaving the loom better than it was found.

We also fit and supply 4WD accessories, auto solar systems and battery charging systems.
Farm, turf and marine
Not everything with a battery in it is a car.
Tractors, zero turn mowers, turf tenders, implements, boats and trailers all carry wiring, and all of it fails in the same handful of ways. Getting that work done on the property or at the ramp saves a float, a day and a lot of swearing.
Onsite farm repairs and machinery repairs are a standing part of what we do, not a favour we do occasionally.

What people say
Five out of five, and not by accident.
I have a small mobile business that has a lot of moving parts, generator, engine, compressor, that need to be functioning and in sync. After so much stress and struggle over the last couple of years, I found Oliver, having solved a number of complex issues that were linked and hard to pin point. I am one very relieved small business operator.
Id give 10 stars if I could. Excellent communication, made time to look at my vehicle after he'd had an extremely long day diagnosed the problem and charged me a very reasonable fee. All tradies should aspire to be this good!
Olly is the best mechanic, auto electrician I have had the pleasure of meeting. Polite, knows his stuff, honest and reliable. Recommend 100%.
Thank you Oliver for helping us out of a bad situation so promptly and honestly! Replaced one battery but could have told us we needed two to be replaced.
Very good I would recommend Olly to anyone, thanks for today mate
Turned up on time, diagnosed the issue and fixed the problem, thanks great job
About
Twenty years in the trade, run out of Nethercote.
Sapphire Auto Electrics is Oliver. Two decades of auto electrical and mechanical work behind him, and since 2024 his own outfit covering the Sapphire Coast out of a base at Nethercote, just up the hill from Eden.
Being both an auto electrician and a mechanic is the useful part. Plenty of faults sit on the line between the two, and a single visit can chase it down either side instead of two trades pointing at each other. Fully licensed, fully insured, and happy to explain what was actually wrong once it is sorted.
Ways to pay: cash, EFT, EFTPOS, Mastercard and Visa. Whatever suits, out on the job.
