Ellesmere Auto Electrical is a specialist in auto electrical and air conditioning repair, based in the rural Ladbrooks area a few minutes from Halswell, Christchurch. Its main draw is that it works on far more than cars. The shop repairs the electrics on cars, trucks, boats, tractors, farm and earthmoving machinery, motorbikes, quad bikes, lawnmowers, chainsaws and generators. It runs a mobile service as well as a fully equipped workshop, and it keeps automotive batteries in stock and sources other parts if it does not have them.
The business does WOF repairs, alternator and starter motor work, lights, air conditioning and GPS installations, and it offers oil changes and wider maintenance on cars, SUVs and light trucks. The owner has run the business for four years, and the team has more than 50 years of automotive repair experience between them. The shop says it aims to fix a fault once and explain the care that keeps a vehicle in good order. Hours are Monday to Friday 7:30am to 6pm and Saturday 7:30am to noon, and it offers night and weekend drop-off. For a farmer or a rural owner whose machine has stopped, a mobile visit or a workshop repair in one place is the practical reason to call. The number is 022 644 9664.
