Electronic diagnosis
When the fault keeps coming back and other garages have given up, we trace it to its source — wiring, module or sensor — before we change anything.
“They found a fault in the A/C radiator that I'd carried for three years and nobody could find.” — Miguel S.
Not sure which one it is? Describe the symptom on the phone — that's usually enough to know if it's for us.
Repair first, replace last
How a visit works
We're busy every day. This is how to get your car seen quickly — and pay only for what it needs.
Step 01
Call before you come
Tell us the symptom and we'll give you the best time to drop by. Without an appointment we see you when we can.
Step 02
We diagnose it
We find the cause before touching anything — often in minutes, sometimes it takes longer.
Step 03
You get the price first
We tell you what it is and what it costs before any repair goes ahead.
Step 04
Repaired, not swapped
If the electrical part can be repaired, we repair it. New parts only when there's no other way.

The auto electricians of Rua de Arroios
It could be called the street of the masters of the automobile.
Rua de Arroios is the Lisbon street with more mechanics and auto electricians than any other — one customer who has known it for fifty years calls it “the street of the masters of the automobile”. We're at number 58, doors E and F.
Many regulars still know us as Alcarsil. The name on the door changed; the people at the bench didn't — Mário and Nuno have been looking after customers here for over a decade.
We do electrics and electronics, for every make. Taxi drivers from Lisbon and Oeiras come to us, and so do drivers other garages sent away without an answer.

Lisbon's taxis come here
A taxi can't afford a day off the road. The drivers who live from their cars keep coming back.
“Top service, always attended even arriving without an appointment.”
“The best auto electronics repair shop in Lisbon — very professional and competent.”

What drivers say
Translated from Portuguese; reviews written in English are shown as written.
After several visits to other garages, this is where they managed to fix the car's A/C. Excellent professionals with a lot of technical knowledge. It gets very busy — I recommend calling first to arrange the best time.
Despite how busy they were, they found a fault in the A/C radiator that I'd been carrying for three years and nobody could find.
Super friendly. Transparant communication. Quick diagnosis and solution. Fair prices. Will come back next time (I hope not too soon).
Very professional, they know what they're doing. They repair a lot of electrical parts on the spot that other places want to replace with new ones straight away — which sometimes aren't even available.
Professionalism and know-how are the hallmark of this workshop. Sometimes you wait, but that's normal: whoever works well and loves what they do always has plenty of work.
As usual, the staff are always impeccable and Mário is always available. Thank you.

Before you call
Questions we hear every day
We see walk-ins whenever we can, but we're very busy. Call first and we'll give you the best time to come.
Rua de Arroios is narrow and has EMEL paid parking. Call ahead so your car can be looked at as soon as you arrive; there are paid car parks nearby.
Yes — electrics and electronics on every make.
It depends on the fault. We tell you the price before going ahead with any repair.
When an electrical part can be repaired, we repair it rather than swap it for a new one.
Not always. We diagnose it before recharging or replacing any component.
Small jobs — bulbs, fuses, cables — are often done while you wait. Electronic faults depend on the diagnosis.
Yes.
