Twenty years wrenching in Calgary winters taught us what actually works - not just what looks good on paper
Look, I've pulled too many folks outta ditches who thought all-seasons were "good enough". We swap your tires, balance 'em right, and store your off-season set in our climate-controlled space so they don't dry-rot.
That feeling when it's -35 and your truck starts on the first crank? That's what we're after. We install proper frost-plug or cartridge heaters - none of that cheap pad stuff that barely works.
Road salt is brutal out here - seen brand new trucks turn into rust buckets in five years. We use oil-based undercoating that actually penetrates and doesn't trap moisture like that rubberized junk some places push.
Your brakes are kinda important when you're sliding down Deerfoot in a snowstorm. We check everything - pads, rotors, calipers, lines, fluid. If something's sketchy, we'll tell ya straight up, no upselling nonsense.
Four-wheel drive's awesome till it ain't. Transfer case seals, diffs that haven't seen fresh fluid in who-knows-how-long, CV axles clicking like castanets. We service it all - especially those finicky electronic systems in newer rigs.
Diesel's a different beast, especially in cold weather. We've got the proper scan tools for Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke. DPF issues, glow plugs, fuel system problems - we handle it without the dealership pricing.
Been doing this long enough to know that weird noise might be nothing or might be expensive. Bring it by and we'll give ya an honest assessment - no pressure, no BS. Sometimes it's a $20 fix, sometimes you need to start saving. Either way, you'll know what you're dealing with.
We run things a bit different than those quick-lube places
We take appointments so you're not sitting around all day. Walk-ins welcome if we got space.
If something can wait, we'll tell ya. If it's urgent, we'll explain why without the scare tactics.
We don't rush jobs. Your vehicle gets the time it needs, torqued to spec, the whole deal.
Parts and labour guaranteed. Something goes sideways with our work, we make it right.
