Protect Your Vehicle From Rust with WoolWax™

Before

Protecting your vehicle from rust and corrosion is essential, especially in Calgary’s climate, where road salts and moisture can accelerate deterioration. One of the most effective methods to safeguard your vehicle’s undercarriage is through the application of WoolWax™ undercoating. AMR Automotive in Calgary specializes in this process, offering top-notch services to ensure your vehicle remains in optimal condition.

Benefits of WoolWax™ Undercoating

WoolWax™ is a lanolin-based undercoating product renowned for its superior protective qualities. Unlike traditional undercoatings that contain solvents and dry out over time, WoolWax™ remains soft and pliable, providing continuous protection. Its key benefits include:

After

1. Long-Lasting Protection: WoolWax™ creates a durable barrier against salt, moisture, and other corrosive elements, significantly extending the lifespan of your vehicle’s undercarriage.

2. High Viscosity: The thick consistency of WoolWax™ makes it highly resistant to wash-off, ensuring that the protective layer remains intact even in harsh conditions.

3. Non-Drying Formula: Since WoolWax™ doesn’t dry out, it continues to migrate into inaccessible areas, providing comprehensive coverage and protection.

AMR Automotive offers professional WoolWax™ undercoating services, meticulously applying the product to your vehicle’s undercarriage to ensure maximum protection against rust and corrosion. By choosing AMR Automotive, you can trust that your vehicle is in capable hands, receiving top-quality service tailored to your specific needs.

Spring Maintenance

As winter ends and warmer weather arrives, it will be time to give your car or truck some attention. Spring maintenance is crucial for ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly after months of cold weather and rough road conditions. At AMR Automotive in Calgary, we specialize in making sure your vehicle stays in top shape all year long. Here’s why spring maintenance matters and how we can help.

Why Spring Maintenance is Key

Battery Check: Cold temperatures can weaken your battery. Spring is the perfect time to inspect for corrosion and ensure it’s fully charged.

Fluid Levels: Fluids like oil, coolant, and brake fluid may need to be topped up or replaced. This helps your vehicle run efficiently and avoid potential problems.

Tires and Alignment: Winter driving can cause uneven tire wear and low pressure. We’ll check your tires and alignments to ensure safe and smooth driving.

Brakes: Winter conditions strain your brake system. A spring inspection will make sure your brakes are ready for safe driving.

Wipers and Lights: Replace worn-out wipers and ensure all lights are working for clear visibility during spring rains.

Why a Local Mechanic

AMR Automotive Reliable Service & Maintenance Opting for a local mechanic over a chain store offers unique advantages in quality, trust, and personalized care. Local shops rely on reputation within the community, meaning customer satisfaction is their priority. Each job they complete reflects on their business, driving them to provide reliable and thorough service.

Local mechanics often work on the same cars over time, developing a familiarity that chain stores can’t match. This personal touch means they’re more likely to understand your vehicle’s unique needs and provide informed repairs. They also have more flexibility in sourcing parts, giving customers options suited to different budgets without pushing for upsells.

Ultimately, a local mechanic offers a blend of trust, expertise, and care that can’t be matched by chains, giving you peace of mind and reliable support for the long haul.

Winter Tire Change

As the temperatures drop and winter approaches, it’s time to think about swapping out those summer tires for winter ones. While you might be tempted to put off this seasonal change, having your mechanic handle the switch can save you time and ensure your vehicle is prepared for the winter months.

Winter tires are specifically designed for cold weather and icy, snowy conditions. Their rubber compound remains flexible in freezing temperatures, allowing for better traction and control on the road. In contrast, summer tires can become hard and lose their grip, increasing the risk of skidding. A professional mechanic will not only ensure your tires are mounted correctly but also check for any wear or damage, giving you peace of mind as you drive through challenging winter conditions.

Additionally, a mechanic can properly balance your winter tires, which helps reduce uneven wear and improves fuel efficiency. They’ll also inspect your vehicle’s alignment, which is essential for optimal handling. With a mechanic’s help, you can rest assured that your tires are safe and ready to face the elements. Investing in this service can make a noticeable difference in your vehicle’s performance and safety throughout the winter season.

Full Rebuild for Classic 1977 Chevy C20 Pickup Truck

AMR Automotive recently completed a full engine rebuild for a classic 1977 Chevy pickup truck, taking performance and reliability to a whole new level. The project featured the installation of an LY6 Iron Block, a powerful foundation known for its durability. To enhance the performance, a VVT delete was done, which removes the variable valve timing for a more predictable and controlled power delivery.

Key upgrades include the roller rocker trunion upgrade with hardened pushrods, ensuring the engine can handle higher stress loads while improving longevity. The engine was honed with new rings and bearings, bringing it back to peak condition. A Trick Flow camshaft (30602003) was installed, adding a significant boost in horsepower and torque without compromising low-end performance. This camshaft is a great choice for anyone looking to maximize power in their LS engine builds.

To optimize performance, the engine was custom-tuned in-shop using HP Tuners, refining fuel and timing adjustments for maximum output. A set of Spin Tech 6000 mufflers with side exits were added, giving the truck an aggressive, deep rumble. AMR Automotive’s expertise in engine rebuilds shines through in this complete overhaul, bringing new life to this classic Chevy pickup.

At AMR Automotive, we’re dedicated to preserving the legacy of classic vehicles with expert care and craftsmanship. If your classic car or truck needs attention, bring it to AMR Automotive – where passion meets precision.
