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 a Local Mechanic Matters

Local Mechanic AMR Automotive There’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.

Spring Tune-Up Checklist

With winter behind us, it’s time to get everything back in top shape for the warmer months. A thorough spring tune-up can help prevent issues and keep your car, home, and outdoor equipment running efficiently.

Start by checking all fluids and filters, including oil, coolant, and transmission fluid in your car. Replacing air filters improves efficiency and overall performance. Inspect the battery and electrical systems, as cold weather can drain power. Testing and cleaning battery terminals can help prevent unexpected failures. Examine the tires and brakes by checking tread depth, tire pressure, and brake pad condition to ensure a safe and smooth ride. For your home and vehicle, clean or replace HVAC and air conditioning filters to maintain good air quality and system efficiency. Finally, service outdoor equipment such as lawnmowers, power tools, and irrigation systems to ensure they are ready for spring projects.

A little maintenance now can help prevent costly repairs later and keep everything running smoothly throughout the season.
