Six things that come through our Clarke Street doors most. If yours isn't on the list, give us a ring and ask.
Head units and CarPlay
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screens for cars that never had them. We fit them so you keep the steering wheel controls and the factory reverse camera.

Reversing cameras and monitors
A camera and a dash monitor for backing up the ute, the trailer or the horse float. You'll see what's behind you, or what's in the float.
Dual batteries and DC-DC charging
A second battery to run the fridge and the lights without flattening the one that starts the car. We fit Redarc DC-DC chargers and the wiring to suit.

LED light bars and driving lights
Grille light bars, bull bar spots and work lights, wired in properly. We fit Ultra Vision Lighting on everything from a LandCruiser to a Ranger.

Auto electrical repairs
Something's stopped working, won't charge or keeps blowing a fuse. Bring it in and we'll track down what's going on and fix it.
Car air-conditioning
We're ARCtick authorised (AU48450), so we're licensed to work with the refrigerant in your car's air-con. Cab filters too, which can get pretty ugly.
A new CarPlay screen in Young, and the factory bits still work
Plenty of good cars around Young have a stereo that's older than the phone in your pocket. A new screen fixes that, but a careless fit can cost you the buttons on the steering wheel or the reverse camera the car came with.
We fit Extnix head units with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and we keep what the factory gave you working. We've done Hiluxes, RAV4s, Outlanders, ix35s, Subarus and plenty more.
“Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a 2016 N80 Hilux. Keep your steering wheel controls and factory reverse camera.”
4WD light bars, spotties and dual batteries in Young
Whether it's a work ute that's out before sunrise or a 4WD that's heading bush for a week, it needs light it can see by and power that won't let it down. We'll wire both in properly.
- Grille-mounted and bull bar LED light bars
- Round driving lights and work lights
- Dual battery systems with Redarc DC-DC chargers
- Towing mirrors fitted
- Hulk 4x4 gear available in store
Farm machinery lighting and float cameras around Young
It's not all utes. We've put work lights on farm machinery cabs so the job can keep going after dark, and cameras into horse floats so you can keep an eye on who's travelling in the back.
A licensed auto electrician you can actually check
Licensed, and you can look it up
Motor Vehicle Repairer's Licence MVRL56293 is current on Verify NSW. It's printed on our logo so you don't have to take our word for it.
Check MVRL56293 on Verify NSWARCtick authorised, AU48450
Car air-con refrigerant needs a licence to handle. We've got one, and ARC gave us its Environmental Stewardship Award in 2025.
Your factory features stay
Steering wheel controls and the factory reverse camera keep working when we fit a new screen. That's the point of getting it done properly.
Brands we fit and stock
Extnix head units, Ultra Vision Lighting, Redarc chargers and Polaris monitors. We're a Hulk 4x4 stockist too.

A small, licensed auto electrics shop on Clarke Street, Young
SHAKS Auto Electrics is Scott Furner's business. It's been trading under the SHAKS name since 2019, and the licence that goes with it, MVRL56293, is in Scott's name.
We're a small workshop at 43 Clarke St, and we do the lot: the screen in the dash, the camera on the back, the battery under the bonnet and the lights on the front. Cars, utes, 4WDs, farm machinery and horse floats all come through the doors.
