Calgary winters aren't a joke, and we've got your back when the mercury drops
Look, after 15 years fixing vehicles in Calgary's brutal winters, I've seen what happens when folks skimp on proper cold-weather prep. We're talking about keeping you safe when it's -30°C outside and your car needs to start on the first try. No fancy marketing talk here - just honest work that'll get you through another Alberta winter.
We mount, balance, and torque 'em properly - none of that rush job stuff. Seen too many folks lose a wheel on Deerfoot because someone didn't tighten the lugs right.
Usually takes about an hour, sometimes less if we're not slammed. Call ahead during the October rush though!
Your engine hates cold starts as much as you do. A good block heater's worth its weight in gold when it's -35°C and you gotta get to work.
Most installs done same day. If your cord's frayed or the element's toast, we'll let ya know straight up.
Car batteries hate the cold more than we do. We test 'em properly - not just some quick voltage check that don't tell you squat.
Quick service - we can test while you wait. If she's dying, we'll tell ya before you're stranded at Walmart.
Your brakes gotta work in slush, ice, and salt soup. We check everything - pads, rotors, lines, fluid, the whole shebang.
We'll show you what needs doing now versus what can wait. No pressure, just honest assessment.
Alberta's road salt will turn your truck into Swiss cheese if you let it. We apply proper undercoating that actually penetrates and protects.
Best done before first snowfall. We use the good stuff - not that waxy garbage that flakes off.
Check engine light on? We've got pro-grade scanners that read everything - not just basic codes. We actually figure out what's wrong.
Diagnostic fee applies, but we credit it toward repairs. No hidden charges or surprises.
Not everything needs to be complicated. Here's what most folks go for depending on their situation.
For folks who just need the essentials
Good if your car's newer and you're just getting ready for snow season. Quick turnaround.
