A 4WD vehicle came to us as a first time customer to our Clontarf workshop. The owner regularly uses it for beach driving, often in harsh coastal conditions. Upon inspection, we identified several critical issues that are direct results of this driving environment. Findings 1. Severe Chassis Rust: Upon inspecting the underbody, we found significant corrosion on the chassis rails. Multiple holes had already formed due to advanced rust penetration. This level of deterioration compromises structural integrity and poses a serious safety concern. Contributing Factors: Constant exposure to saltwater and salty sand Lack of thorough underbody washes after beach use Possibly no rust protection applied (e.g., electronic rust control or coatings) Recommendation: Immediate rust treatment and reinforcement of affected chassis areas Application of a rust preventative coating post-repair Routine underbody inspections, especially after beach trips 2. Air Filter Contamination The air cleaner was packed with sand, clearly showing that the vehicle has been operating in sandy, dusty environments without adequate filtration protection. Implications: Reduced engine performance and efficiency Increased wear on internal engine components Potential long-term engine damage if unaddressed Recommendation: Replace the air filter immediately Install a pre-filter or snorkel system for future off-road driving More frequent air filter inspections and replacements depending on driving conditions This vehicle exemplifies the toll that beach driving can take on essential components if proactive maintenance is not performed. The combination of chassis corrosion and air intake contamination indicates the need for tailored servicing plans for vehicles used in extreme environments. At Hycraft Automotive, we understand the unique demands placed on 4WD vehicles, especially those used in harsh off-road and beach conditions. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and high-quality parts to keep your vehicle running reliably, whether you're tackling dunes or daily driving. We tailor our services to your vehicle’s use and offer proactive maintenance strategies to help avoid costly repairs down the line.  When you bring your 4WD to Hycraft Automotive, you're not just getting a service — you're investing in your vehicle's long-term durability and performance.

Your car's braking and suspension play an important part in making sure that your car stops quickly and safely. Here at Hycraft Automotive in Clontarf we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre. Specialist Braking & Suspension Testing in Clontarf. Your family's safety can be trusted with a Safe-T-Stop test. It provides an added safety inspection that goes far beyond a standard check and road test to scientifically test your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance. No matter how good the mechanic involved, there is no way a simple road test could ever produce the accurate and detailed information provided by a full Safe-T-Stop test. Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as it would happen in real life, including an emergency stop on the road! This technology allows us to carry out the entire inspection without even leaving the workshop. Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase fuel costs. A Safe-T-Stop check will give the Hycraft Automotive mechanic testing your car a detailed and accurate printed report that will enable them to advise you on any urgent repairs or critical adjustments that should be made to your braking or suspension systems.
