Local conditions in Donegal
Donegal combines Atlantic salt air, heavy rain and hard winter salting — one of the toughest corrosion environments in Ireland.
The welding work we take on
Most of what comes through the yard is corrosion-driven: chassis rails, outriggers, crossmembers, sills, floor pans and mounting points that need cutting out and rebuilding. Alongside that we handle trailer frames and drawbars, tow points, brackets and mounts, and fabrication of replacement sections where a part is no longer available.
If you are not sure whether a job is something we take on, send a photo and ask — we would rather tell you straight than have you travel for nothing.
Working on a ramp, not on the ground
Underbody welding done properly needs the vehicle up, the area cleaned back to bare steel, and enough access to weld both sides of a join where possible. Work carried out on a driveway with limited access is the usual reason a repair fails again a year later.
Every repaired section is dressed back, seam-sealed, primed, painted and coated with underbody protection before the vehicle leaves the yard.
Fabrication of replacement sections
Where a repair panel or chassis section is not available off the shelf, the replacement is formed from correct-gauge steel to match the original profile and thickness, rather than plating over the damage. That keeps the strength of the section where the design intended it.

Donegal vehicle welding FAQs
Do you do vehicle welding for Donegal?
Yes — customers travel to the Rayco yard from Donegal and nearby counties for automotive and structural welding. Send photos on WhatsApp to 087 919 2193 first and we will price it.
Do you do mobile welding?
Underbody and structural welding is carried out at the yard, where the vehicle can be lifted and the area properly cleaned and accessed. Send photos and we will tell you what the job needs.
Can you weld trailers as well as vehicles?
Yes — trailer frames, drawbars, tow points and mounts are regular work alongside chassis repairs.
What if the replacement panel isn't available?
Sections are fabricated in correct-gauge steel to match the original profile, so the repair keeps the strength of the part it replaces.
