Car electrician recommendation please

Hi - can anyone recommend a car electrician locally? I have a Fiat 500 with an electrical problem. Thanks.

Most good repair garages will be able to deal with most electrical problems, although those related to misbehaving after market alarm systems might be an issue. You need to check with the garage whether they have the diagnostic software for your car. Problems with the ECU itself may be expensive to fix. But failing sensors can more easily be replaced. I would consider a Fiat main dealer. More expensive than an independent garage possibly but they will be able to identify the problem quicker. And know the resolution. The older the car the more likely an independent will be of use to you however, as electrical complexity is a feature of the most modern cars.

Thank you. That's very helpful. The last garage I took it to seemed mystified and although they fixed it has reoccured. I'll look into a Fiat dealer but I'm quite short on funds so was hoping someone knew  someone good locally.
