What we do
One call for auto electrical and AC
Most fleets juggle an auto sparky, an AC tech, a fit-out shop and a sign writer. We do the lot, on site, so there's one number to call and one person accountable.
Fleet AC regas
Book your utes and trucks in for an AC regas and leak test at the depot. While we're there, we check the electrics and tell you straight what needs doing.

Learn moreHow most fleets start with us
Start with an AC check. We'll spot the rest.
A regas is the easy first job. We test each system for leaks, recharge it to spec and make sure it's blowing cold before it goes back to work.
While the bonnet's up, we look over the wiring, lights, beacons and accessories. You get a straight list of what needs attention now and what can wait, which is the cheapest way to stop small faults turning into breakdowns mid-job.
Who we work for
Built around the fleets that keep the Hunter working
Different gear, same problem: when it's down, you're paying for it. We know what each of these industries needs from an auto electrician and AC tech.
Fleet vehicles
Auto electrical fit-outs, repairs and AC for business utes, vans, trucks and service vehicles, done at your depot so they keep working.
Civil and earthmoving
Auto electrical and AC repairs on dozers, graders, excavators, loaders and tippers, done at the job so the machine keeps working.
Mining and mining services
Auto electrical and AC for mining services contractors, from site light vehicles to heavy gear, at your yard or on site.
Road transport and logistics
Cab AC, lighting, charging and electrical faults sorted on prime movers, rigids and tippers, at your depot and around your runs.
Plant and equipment hire
AC checks between hires, call-outs for faults your hirers report, and new machine set-up with beacons, cameras and harnesses.

Why fleets call Kaper
If you've used the rest, now use the best.
We turn up
Being reliable is most of the job. It's why we get the call when a machine goes down on a weekend, and why we answer it.
Auto electrical and AC, one visit
Plenty of AC faults turn out to be electrical, and every fit-out touches both. One tech who does both means fewer visits and nothing lost between contractors.
Heavy gear is normal
From 1.7 t to 800 t. Utes and trucks through to dozers, graders, loaders and mining machines.
Fleet work only
No private cars, caravans or boats. Our time goes to business fleets and machines that need to keep working.

FAQs
Questions fleet managers ask
Something not covered here? Call 0400 554 024 and ask.
Do you work on private cars?
No. Kaper only works on business fleets and machinery. For a private car, caravan or boat, a local auto electrician will be a better fit.
Do you come to us?
Yes. We're mobile and work at your depot, yard or job site, so your vehicles and machines don't have to come off the job to see us.
Where do you cover?
Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, the Hunter Valley including Cessnock, Singleton and Muswellbrook, Port Stephens and the Central Coast. Have a look at the service area map.
Can you do our whole fleet in one go?
Send us a list of vehicles and where they're parked, and we'll plan the work in batches around your shifts. Most fleets start with an AC regas across the board.
Do you work weekends?
We do weekend work, and we take weekend breakdown calls by arrangement. Call and we'll tell you straight when we can get there.
Got utes due for a regas before summer?
Book the fleet in now and get ahead of the first heatwave. Call Luke, or send us your fleet list and we'll plan it around your shifts.
