Twelve things on the window
Everything that runs on a wire, a compressor or a battery.
The list painted across the shopfront window has not changed much, because it covers nearly everything that comes through the door. Utes, tourers, caravans, work trucks and the odd race car.
Alternators and starter motors
Rebuilds and replacements, so a charging fault does not have to mean a new vehicle.
Batteries and chargers
Batteries, battery chargers and jump starters, including SuperCharge and Invicta lithium.
Dual battery installations
Second battery systems set up properly, the work behind most of the touring jobs that come through here.
Solar charging setups
Solar charging systems and the accessories that go with them, for vans, campers and remote gear.
Electric brake installations
Electric brake controllers fitted for towing, wired into the vehicle the way it should be.
Lighting sales and fitouts
Spotlights, bar lights and worklights, sold and fitted. There is a lighting display in the workshop.
Car audio
Car audio sales and installations, including Kenwood head units and Blaupunkt gear.
UHF radio
UHF sales and installation. Uniden and GME are both sold here, which is standard kit out this way.
Reverse cameras
Reverse camera supply and installation for utes, vans, trucks and caravans.
Emergency lighting
Emergency and warning lighting fitted to work vehicles and service trucks.
Parts and consumables
A widely stocked range of auto electrical parts and consumables, over the counter.
Charles Street, Roma
A proper workshop, not a parts counter with a hoist.
PTW is Paul's shop. It has been family owned and run in Roma since 2010, and the initials on the sign are the family's own. Two signposted bays, one for auto electrical and one for air conditioning, plus a shed full of the gear that makes the difference on a job: a 4200kg hoist, a lighting display, Snap-on diagnostic equipment and a bench that has plainly seen work.
Roma sits where the cattle country meets the gas fields, so the work here is not the same as city auto electrical. It is service trucks, farm utes, caravans and tourers heading further west, and a fair number of people who did not plan to stop in Roma at all.
The waiting side is set up for that too. There is a lounge, a bathroom, tea and coffee, Wi-Fi and a key drop box.

The new showroom
ARB came to Roma, and it landed here.
The showroom opened in December 2025 and made PTW the local ARB 4x4 stockist. It means the gear people used to order in from Toowoomba or Brisbane is now on a shelf in town, fitted by the same people who wired the rest of the vehicle.
It is a genuine showroom, not a catalogue on a counter: an ARB display, fridges, batteries, radios and audio, under lighting that lets you actually see what you are buying.

Licences and approvals
The tickets that let us do the work.
Some of these are hanging on the workshop wall and some are on the shopfront window. They are worth knowing about, because a couple of them are legal requirements rather than badges.

We can't thank this auto electrician enough for helping us out when we were having issues with the car. He went above and beyond to get us sorted at very short notice, and his help was very much appreciated. It's such a relief when you're travelling and find someone willing to jump in and help without hesitation. Fantastic service, great to deal with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Got our camper trailer re-wired with new batteries and electricals throughout to live on the road with our little family. Paul's knowledge and suggestions were spot on. We have just returned after 4 months and having the power to run what we needed at anytime regardless of weather made all the difference. Couldn't recommend this business any higher.
The staff are very friendly and helpful! If i can give more than 5 star i definitely would 🙌 very recommended. To the staff, thank you and hope you guys always healthy
Set up to go west
The power side of a trip, sorted before you leave.
Dual batteries, solar charging, a fridge that keeps running, lighting, a UHF that reaches, and brakes wired for what you are towing. That is most of what comes into this workshop, and Roma is where plenty of people stock up before heading further west.
One of our reviews is from a family who had their camper trailer rewired here and then lived on the road with it for four months.
