Hycraft Automotive welcomed a customer with a rather unusual issue. As they drove in, it was clear that this wasn't your typical tyre change. The customer explained that they had recently discovered their car's trunk had been holding a pool of water for quite some time. The result? A spare tyre and rim that had completely rusted through. Our team was eager to help. After a quick assessment, it was apparent that both the rim and the tyre would need replacing. The water had caused significant damage, rendering the old equipment unusable. Once the new rim and tyre were selected, our technicians swiftly installed them, ensuring everything was securely in place. Throughout the process, we kept the customer informed, providing insights and answering any questions they had. Before sending them on their way, we offered some tips to prevent future issues, like regularly checking the trunk for leaks and ensuring the spare tyre is in good condition. The customer left feeling relieved and satisfied, knowing their car was back in top shape. At our Clontarf workshop, we pride ourselves on turning unexpected challenges into positive experiences. We were happy to help this customer with their unique situation and get them safely back on the road.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
