🌿☀️ A LITTLE SHOUT-OUT TO OUR OUTDOORSY MEMBERS! ☀️🌿

There’s something pretty special about getting outside and away from the screens, the notifications, the jobs and the never-ending to-do lists. 💚

Whether it’s camping 🏕️, fishing 🎣, hiking 🥾, four-wheel-driving 🚙, gardening 🌱, kayaking 🛶, riding 🚲 or simply sitting outside with a cuppa and enjoying the fresh air — getting outdoors is good for the soul.

It gives us a chance to slow down, clear our heads, move our bodies, spend time with the people we love and actually notice the world around us. 🌳🐦🌅

So we want to give a little FB plug to all the outdoorsy people in our group!

Get Out There And Do It

And

Off The Beaten Track WA

Let’s support each other, discover some new adventures and maybe inspire a few more people to get outside this weekend. 💚

🌿 Less scrolling. More exploring. 🌿

😳 **THIS could have been a very dangerous situation.**

While stripping down a **Navara today**, and we found this. 😬

This vehicle is **new to our customer**, which makes this discovery even more devastating for them.

At some point, a previous owner — or someone working on the vehicle — has **ground away part of the metal structure to create clearance for the aftermarket suspension.** 🤦‍♀️

And as the photos show, the area has now **cracked.**

⚠️ **This is NOT an acceptable way to make aftermarket parts fit.**

Grinding structural metal away for clearance can weaken the vehicle and potentially create a **serious safety issue**. If an aftermarket modification doesn't fit correctly, the answer isn't to simply grab the grinder and start removing structural material.

Unfortunately, when buying a second-hand vehicle, you don't always know what's hiding underneath panels and liners until they're removed. 💔

Thankfully, this has now been found rather than continuing to go unnoticed.

🔧 **Modify it properly.**
⚠️ **Don't compromise structural integrity for clearance.**
👀 **And if you're buying a modified 4WD, a thorough inspection before purchase can be worth its weight in gold.**

Sometimes what we find hiding behind a wheel arch liner is a lot more than just dirt! 😳

🔧 WELL… THAT’S NOT WHAT A CAT SHOULD LOOK LIKE! 😳

And before anyone starts looking for whiskers… we mean catalytic converter 😂🐱

This is a look inside a catalytic converter that has very clearly seen better days! 👀

That honeycomb structure you can see is the internal substrate of the catalytic converter — and when it becomes damaged, melted, broken down or blocked like this, it can seriously restrict exhaust flow and cause all sorts of running and performance issues. 🚗💨

Sometimes the problem isn’t obvious from the outside… until you get in there and have a proper look. 🔍🔧

Just another day of finding out what’s actually going on inside at Speedy Spanners!

If you have or see used car seats have them dropped off at us for correct disposal by Breathing Space with Gecko - Holistic Family Support

For the second year in a row...

To bring awareness to Napcan's National Child Protection Week (first week of September), Breathing Space with Gecko are partnering with Speedy Spanners Mechanics Serpentine to help families within the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale dispose of expired and broken child car restraints.

Last year was a fantastic success, with over 10 expired and broken restraints now safely off the road and disposed of properly.
So we are running the initiative again!

Don't forget that Breathing Space with Gecko are a qualified type 1 child car restraint fitter and can travel out to you to fit new restraints, check current ones, and offer professional advice on what restraints suit your family’s needs.

All Child Car Restraints have a 10-year lifetime from date of manufacture. If you are unsure, contact us to book in a check.

Big shoutout to Ash from Touch Up Guys Mandurah 🙌🚙✨

Caught him in action this morning working his magic on our Everest, getting rid of those pesky stone chips and scratches it’s collected from the road. 🪨😩

Absolutely love being able to support and recommend other local businesses — especially when you get someone who takes pride in what they do. 👌

Thanks Ash for giving the Everest some much-needed TLC! She’ll be looking schmick again in no time. 😍🚙✨

A little shoutout to Ash from Touch Up Guys Mandurah 🙌🚙✨

Hes got my Everest this morning, sorting out those annoying stone chips and scratches that seem to magically appear from everyday driving! 😩🪨

We’re always happy to give a shoutout to another local business doing their thing — and it’s great being able to support local where we can. 💙

Can’t wait to see the Everest looking fresh again! 👌✨

Thanks, we appreciate you! 🙏
