Why Switching from Winter to Summer Tires Matters

Changing Winer Tires As the temperatures rise, it’s time to swap out your winter tires for summer ones. Winter tires are designed for cold, icy conditions, providing better grip and safety in snow and slush. However, in warmer weather, they wear out faster and reduce fuel efficiency.

Summer tires offer better traction, handling, and braking performance on dry and wet roads, ensuring a safer and smoother ride. Making the switch not only extends the lifespan of your winter tires but also enhances your vehicle’s performance during the warmer months.

Don’t wait too long, once temperatures consistently stay above 7°C (45°F), it’s time to make the change!

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.

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.

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.

Battling Cold Weather Car Issues

Battling cold winter in Calgary can bring some challenges for your vehicle. As the temperature drops, your car may experience a range of issues that can affect its performance. At AMR Automotive Services, we understand the importance of keeping your vehicle in top condition during the winter months.

One of the most common issues during winter is extra battery drain. Cold temperatures can significantly reduce your battery’s efficiency, making it harder for your car to start. To combat this problem, make sure your battery is in good condition. If your battery is more than three years old, it might be a good idea to have it tested and, if necessary, replaced.

Maintaining clear visibility is crucial for safe winter driving. However, icy conditions can be tough on your windshield wipers, leading to breakage or reduced effectiveness. Replace them if they appear brittle or damaged.

Cold temperatures can also impact your vehicle’s fluids, including fuel. To prevent a frozen fuel tank, try to keep your gas tank at least half full during the winter. Check and top up other essential fluids like oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze regularly to ensure they remain effective in colder conditions.

AMR Automotive in Calgary are here to help ensure your vehicle stays in optimal condition. Stay safe on the roads and embrace the beauty of winter with a well-maintained and reliable car.

Keeping your vehicle maintained in winter will give you peace of mind just knowing you’ve prepared for the conditions ahead. Call AMR Automotive 403-243-2483 to arrange your appointment today.
