Classic Transmission & Differential Repair

At AMR Automotive Calgary, we love breathing new life into classic cars. Recently, we worked on a 1965 Plymouth Valiant equipped with the iconic 904 push-button transmission. Our team fully rebuilt the transmission, remade the cooler lines, and removed the inline filter for a cleaner setup. We also sent the radiator out for a hot tank and cleaning to ensure optimal cooling performance.

The job also required repairing the rear differential seal and pinion seal, essential steps to keep this Valiant cruising smoothly without leaks. Now, this timeless ride is back on the road where it belongs.

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.

 New Life for a Classic Ford Maverick

There’s something special about bringing a classic back to life, and our latest project, a Ford Maverick rebuild, was no exception

We started with essential mechanical upgrades, replacing the brakes and ball joints, followed by a precise wheel alignment to keep the ride smooth and safe. A brand-new windshield now gives the Maverick a crystal-clear view of the road ahead.

Inside, we rebuilt the floorboards, customized the torque box, and repaired the dashboard lights. We’re also working on a 3D-printed version of the dash housing, a project we think will interest other Maverick enthusiasts looking for modern solutions to vintage challenges.

To protect all that work for years to come, we applied Woolwax undercoating, sealing the underside against rust and corrosion.

The exterior also got some love, with bodywork on the doors and a fresh coat of paint on the hood, restoring the Maverick’s iconic look.

Why Switching from Winter to Summer Tires Matters

Changing Winer TiresAs 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.

How AMR Automotive Can Help

Full vehicle inspections

Why a Local Mechanic

AMR Automotive Reliable Service & MaintenanceOpting 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.
