With over four decades of servicing and repairing vehicles of every make and model, the team at Shamrock Automotive is ready and able to handle any concerns you are experiencing with your car or truck.

Vehicle Inspections

Mechanical Inspections: Our comprehensive inspection covers the main components of your car or truck, with an emphasis on safety.

Out of Province Inspections: We are licensed by the Alberta Government to carry out these inspections when registering a vehicle that has been imported from another province.

Commercial Vehicle Inspections: We are licensed by the Alberta Government to carry out these inspections in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Inspection program.

Insurance Inspections: Many insurance companies require one of these to be done if your vehicle is over 10 years old, before insuring your vehicle.

Engine Performance & Electrical Diagnostics

Over the years, electrical components in your vehicle may require reprograming, recalibration or repairs. If you notice any warning light flashing, bring it into Shamrock.

Maybe your vehicle doesn’t seem to operate as smoothly as it used to, perhaps it is losing power, your fuel consumption has gone off the scale; all these things should and can be quickly checked out by our technicians.

Our team of experienced technicians will be able to diagnose and quickly provide a solution to your problem using the very latest equipment.

Diesel Engine Repairs

At Shamrock Automotive, diesel engine repair is a major component of our business.

Diesel vehicles bring their own challenges. As a diesel vehicle owner, you know the importance of finding a reliable repair shop that has technicians specializing in diesel repairs.

At Shamrock we have factory trained technicians with the experience, knowledge and expertise necessary to handle your concerns, using the very latest in tools and diagnostic equipment.

Drivability Problems

Factors that impair your ability to drive such as, vehicular vibration, steering that is too stiff or loose, are hazards to yourself and other drivers on the road.

Have you noticed a new or different noise when driving? There is always a reason, and it may be minor, but it could also be very serious, so it needs checking.

If you experience any concerns in your vehicle that affect your ability to drive, contact Shamrock Automotive today.

4 Wheel Alignments

Is your vehicle pulling to the right or left? Do you have to hold your steering wheel at an angle to drive straight? Noticing an uneven tread on your tires or notice your steering wheel vibrating or shaking while driving? These are all telltale signs that your car is out of alignment. Wheel alignment is an essential part of maintenance.

Misaligned wheels can make driving very difficult and a safety hazard to you and other drivers on the road. Contact Shamrock Automotive today and we will diagnose your vehicle for potential misalignment concerns.

Scheduled Maintenance

Do you realize the importance of regular maintenance and service of your vehicle? Scheduling regular maintenance and servicing for your vehicle can help prolong the lifespan of your vehicle and ensure it operates as it was designed to do.

It also can help prevent that gut-wrenching feeling when you realize you didn’t change, or even check, the oil until a thunderous noise signals the life of your engine has come to a premature end. Maybe you didn’t check the cooling system until it was too late, so your engine overheats and grinds to a halt in the middle of nowhere. Either way, you could be looking at thousands of dollars to fix it.

Just a couple of the many reasons why you need to keep your vehicle well maintained.

Today, most vehicles may have their warranty voided if they do not carry out regular maintenance. The Shamrock Automotive team will help you take all necessary precautions to ensure you protect your vehicle.

***Block Heater Installation & Replacement

Do you know that many vehicles sold out of province do not include a block heater? Northern Alberta is notorious for its freezing cold winters and to better prepare your vehicle, we recommend the installation of a block heater.

Engine block heaters are devices used to warm the engine and fluids before starting a vehicle. In bitter cold temperatures, block heaters are useful as they reduce the risk of the severe damage that comes from “cold starts”. When the car or truck is started after the block heater has been plugged in, fluids quickly reach an ideal operating temperature, allowing you to safely drive away sooner. Your vehicle interior will also warm up faster.

Spring & Summer Service

Regularly scheduled Spring/Summer Service allows you to maximize the enjoyment of the warmer temperatures. Our Spring/Summer Service typically includes:

Have our team of technicians inspect the brakes on your vehicle. We will advise you of what is required, provide you a quote, and perform our guaranteed repairs to make your vehicle safe.

Ensure that you are also monitoring your suspension; your suspension provides you with the ability to drive comfortably and adjust well to road conditions.
