AMR Automotive Restoring a 1968 Mercury Comet

We recently had the pleasure of working on a beautiful 1968 Mercury Comet in our Calgary shop. Like most classics, it came in with a few issues that needed attention, and we were happy to get this ride back to its best.

The brakes were soft, so we added a vacuum pump to boost braking performance and swapped out the worn brake hoses. The master cylinder had deteriorating seals and was leaking, so we replaced it with a brand-new one to restore full braking power.

We upgraded the fuel system by installing a new mechanical fuel pump and adding a backup electric pump for extra reliability. This way, the Comet is ready for any drive without worry.

To finish things off, we replaced the rear shocks with a fresh set of air shocks for a smoother ride and better handling.

As always, we used premium parts from Mopac Auto Supply to ensure quality and reliability. At AMR Automotive, we take pride in helping Calgary car owners keep their classic vehicles safe, strong, and running like new.

Why a Local Mechanic Matters

Local Mechanic AMR AutomotiveThere’s something quietly reassuring about handing your keys to someone who knows your name and maybe even your truck. In an age of chain shops and faceless service bays, the local mechanic stands as a kind of last honest tradesman, the kind who still shakes your hand and means it.

A local mechanic doesn’t just fix cars, they build trust. They know the roads you drive, the winters your vehicle survives, the quirks of your make and model. They’ve likely worked on your neighbour’s SUV or your kid’s first car. That familiarity matters. It’s personal.

And when something sounds “off,” they don’t reach for a script—they listen. To you. To your car. To experience.

Maintaining Front Struts for Safety

Maintaining your front struts is key to both safety and comfort on the road. They absorb shocks from bumps and uneven surfaces, ensuring that your tires remain firmly in contact with the road for better handling and braking. Worn struts can lead to a rough ride, reduced stability, and uneven tire wear, which can ultimately result in costlier repairs and compromised safety. Regular inspections during routine maintenance can help catch issues early, potentially saving you from more extensive repairs down the line.

In addition, properly functioning struts enhance steering control and contribute to a smoother overall driving experience, especially during emergency maneuvers. Taking the time to check your suspension system not only improves your vehicle’s performance but also extends its lifespan. Remember, investing in regular maintenance today can prevent more serious issues tomorrow, keeping you and your passengers safe on the road.
