It's True; It's the fall Chocolate Mint Girl Guide cookie drive. We did it in the spring and we are doing it again. Our first 6 cases of delicious cookies have arrived. We purchased these from local girl guides just to give away with any service we provide and sometimes to good people that deserve a sweet treat. ... By supporting your local small businesses you help us to be able to support worthy causes like the Girl Guides. This is one way we give back to our local community we call home. Making peoples days brighter - it's what we do!

It's True; Remembrance Day To my Grandfather, Albert Stevens, and all those that have and continue to serve our great Country, we are truly thankful.

It’s true; COVID-19 cases are rising in Alberta & Globally. At DynEco, we constantly take measure to ensure the safety of our clients, staff, and families. At this time we’ve made a tough decision to temporarily suspend our Waiting appointments and close our guest sitting area. This is to ensure that we remain open as an essential service provider and be available to help you by reducing ours and your exposure. We will still be accepting in person drop off and pick up, howe...ver, we would like to remind people that we do have an early hour & late after hour drop off service. There are envelopes in a mail box by the office / bay 6 door with the drop box in bay door number 6. We thank you for your understanding and a reminder that we have 9 restaurants in our local area. We hope you understand this is a tough decision but necessary at this time. Keeping you and us safe it’s what we do!

It's True; On A Personal Note I / We are very fortunate to have many great friends, clients (with some being with me / us for over 3 decades) and many business relationships that continue to support our local automotive service business. It is tough out there for businesses and most people in general these days. We have been steady and successful over the many years by always trying the very best everyday to provide a truly great service experience.... As I was reflecting this weekend how steady it has been through these difficult times I just wanted to personally express how thankful I am for the many people and businesses that support our business, our team of professional automotive service providers and my family. Thank you, Mark Stevens

It's True; Funny Stuff Friday This meme is also how your vehicle feels when you neglect your regular and recommended maintenance interval services. Hope you get a smile from this meme, we certainly did. We all could live, love and laugh more these days.... If youve ever dealt with our service team you know we provide smiles and a laugh every day for no charge its what we do. We use to provide hugs as well because sometimes people just need a hug but apparently that is a no go these days with social distancing. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

It's True; Just because your windshield isn't crack in your view, as in this case, it doesn't make it safe under certain situations. The pitting is so bad on this windshield that driving into the morning or setting sun makes it difficult to see through. Never mind night driving when the glare from regular lights let alone HID or LED lights also makes it difficult to see through. Time for a new windshield in this vehicle. Also a good time to replace wiper blades is with a new ...windshield, in the spring or fall time just before winter frost and snow hits us. Not only do we perform a no charge 22pt. preliminary inspection for safety and maintenance every time on every vehicle as part of our mission statement and added value service offer we also fill your washer fluid reservoir for no charge. We verify your windshield condition, wiper blades and most importantly the washer fluid spray nozzles are working properly. These items are all part of your vehicles over all safety systems to make sure you can see and clear your view of the road, other drivers and other potential hazards. One more added value service that sets the DynEco service team apart from the others - it's what we do!

It's True; We have not seen this one for a very long time, thankfully, and it' just plain dog-gone mean whoever did this to another persons vehicle. Client had their vehicle towed in for a no start condition. We perform the diagnostic and testing procedures to locate the concern. Testing proved powers, grounds, fuses and relays are working. We verified the fuel pump was running (although noisy) and had cranking and ignition signals with no codes in the ECM. We removed ...a spark plug for inspection and found a saturated cylinder and plug with some kind of smelly liquid that was like sticky swamp water. Unfortunately the vehicle will probably be a write off due this contamination and sludge in the complete fuel system, cylinder areas (piston and rings) making the long term life of this engine unlikely even if it was repaired. This is not funny and purely an evil act of vandalism which makes us angry!

It's True; Pot holes can crack your aluminum rims. Although this rim is cracked it is not leaking air "yet" but it will at some point. We have a guy that can repair cracked or bent rims over replacing them. It is cost effective alternative to repair damaged rims when possible. Rims, tires, mounting, balancing, repairing and wheel alignments just part of the many automotive services we offer and perform every day.... It's what we do and part of providing our "peace of mind through worry free driving" experience. Test drive our team for truly great service.

It's True; We are so looking forward to the Labour Day long weekend. From our work family to you and yours, we truly hope we can all get a little rest and relaxation in this weekend. Make the time for family and friends while being safe out there - it's the right thing to do & it's what we will doing

Its True; Catalytic Convertor Theft on the rise again. So we thought we would try something like painting the convertor on our Tundra with 2000F bright orange paint. May be a deterrent or may not. Time will tell.

It's True; When driving your vehicle feels like a vibrating recliner yet your vehicle did not come with this feature. You need a vibration detection specialist. There are numerous components that can cause a vibration in your vehicle. Things like a bent rim, tire separation or out of balance, mud or ice buildup in your wheel rim, engine misfire or failed bearings. In this clients case one of the driveshaft universal joint crosses lost lubrication, rust developed creating a... vibration in the driveline as the one cross bearing was seizing up. The vibration, although therapeutic, would lead to a break down. Our team of professional technicians are vibration detection experts. If you have an odd feeling or sensation while driving, a vibration or a noise concern then test drive our team for the solution. Making your vehicle drive smooth again - it's what we do!

It's True; Quick post today..... Is it just us or is time flying by at an enormously quick rate. Literally what happened to summer? September is just around the corner and the other morning it was 8C on the drive in. We remember back in the day they called working the "Rat race". Today it should be called the "Cheetah race"... We don't even want to mention winter tire season is coming. Enjoy time with family & friends - its what we do.

It's True; Our 2004 Toyota Tundra TRD 4X4 turned 490,000km and during the routine service we found the muffler had finally rusted out and leaking. Not bad for an original equipment part and the rest of the pipes including the catalytic convertors are still in good condition. Because we practice and try everyday to be Dyn"Eco" friendly our friends at ABC Muffler on 50 Street had a slightly experienced muffler available to install after a performance exhaust system was put on a... Tacoma. Sounds good and will get us well past the 500,000km marker now. Here are a few pictures of other original parts we thought we would share today; 1. Original TRD Bilstein Rear Shocks 2. Original BFG Spare Tire (should be replace being 14 years old) 3. Original rear driveshaft u-joint & pinion seal with no leaks 4. Original seals in the transfer case with no leaks Most other major components like the starter, alternator, fuel pump, front Bilstein struts and all major seals are all original as well. On our way to 500,000km - stay tuned! (pun intended).

It's True; Couple of Old School Pony cars in the DynEco stable this week. Servicing a 1968 Dark Blue Mustang with a Black Convertible Top & a 1969 Light Blue Mustang with a White Convertible Top. Both beautiful cars that take us back to a day when things were simpler and more mechanical for sure compared to todays highly technical and fully electronic vehicles. Many clients are surprised to find out they dont have a throttle cable anymore and the gas pedal is actually an el...ectronic drive by wire system. The other surprise is when they find out their steering is electronic assist. So no more power steering fluid, pump, hoses or belt. Test drive our professional team of experts for your old school to modern technology vehicles - it's what we do!

It's True; This Weeks Friday Fav 5 Pictures! Here are 5 pictures from clients vehicles in this week. 1. Radiator leaking coolant causing drips under the vehicle. 2. Rear brake pad metal to metal on the brake rotor causing noise concern. ... 3. Front strut leaking fluid past the seal causing tire hop & steering shake. 4. Mud & rocks inside tire wheel rim causing vibration while driving over 50kph. 5. Tire worn past the wear bars and inner edge separation. An unsafe situation that would lead to a tire blow out. All of these concerns were estimated by our professional service team, clients contacted, service approved and completed. Final road tests performed with a final inspection to confirm concerns were corrected with no further issues. All repairs "Stamped" with our 2 year & 40,000km North American wide NAPA Peace Of Mind Warranty. With many of our NAPA Parts covered by the Limited Lifetime Warranty Guarantee. Looking after you & your vehicle - it's what we do!

It's True; When you need us but are out of town we are still here to assist you through our network of other professional NAPA AUTOPRO service centers! A client had an issue while pulling his trailer to a campsite and needed a recommendation for a break down repair. We arranged for him to see our NAPA AUTOPRO friends in Airdrie at mygarageairdrie.ca Here is his review of his experience and the service they received;... Google Review from Clayton F. We were heading out camping with the RV trailer and blew a hole in the turbo air intake hose just coming out of Edmonton and heading to a Cochrane site. The old blue dodge was whistling a high pinched tune when the turbo kicked in.... Of course, we were late leaving and everything was closing as we pulled into Red Deer. Just in time to grab some gorilla tape and a 4 chimney clamp to pull a MacGyver! As always, Mark @ DynEco in Edmonton was able to help us out off the clock and in a pinch; recommending My Garage @ Airdrie and helping us get set up for a repair the following day. Id like to give a big shout out to Chris and his team @ My Garage for fitting us in and getting us back on the road!!! Very nice facility and fantastic customer service! Much appreciated!

It's True; 5 Things we can all do to support small business that goes a long way in keeping these local community businesses open and employing local people. 1. Refer family, friends & co-workers 2. Post A Positive Google Review 3. Like, Comment & Share their FB Posts... 4. Fill out their survey if you get one 5. Visit their web-page and leave a positive review We are fortunate to have great clients that do these things for us. Unfortunately there are numerous small local business that are really suffering (esp. locally owned restaurants) that really need all our help to stay in business. Supporting these local business over big corporate box stores and online shopping is the only way they can employ local staff, be a part of the local community and stay in business. We do our best to support local business - it's what we do....

It's True; NAPA AUTOPRO TIP - Do you only have 1 key for your vehicle? If you think it is expensive to replace a chip key for your vehicle then try losing or damaging the only key you have. Having no keys for your vehicle can triple or more the cost to repair. Why? Losing or having the only key you have not working requires a complete antitheft & security system reprogramming rather than purchasing a replacement key requiring a relearning procedure. The cost involved is als...o dependent on the different manufacturers protocols. Most fobs are OE Dealer only but there are some models that aftermarket chip keys or fobs can be purchased to be relearned that can certainly save you money. Stop in, call us at 780 466 4949, send an email [email protected] or PM for information about replacing your missing key. DynEco, we have the "NAPA Know How" to get you keyed up - it's what we do!

It's True; It's the Heritage Day long weekend ahead! July has been exceptionally busy compared to June and our team has worked hard to meet the demand for service. What a fitting last day to a busy month then to have an extra day to rejuvenate ourselves. We are looking forward to getting away a little early today as well for a well deserved long weekend. We hope our team enjoys the long weekend and sincerely hope you do too. ... Work hard, Play hard & Enjoy the simple things. Taking the time to enjoy those simple things - it's what we do!

It's True; Yes, we service vehicle A/C systems! Is your vehicles A/C system cold enough that you think you might have to scrape the inside of your windshield? Or at least turn the fan speed down? Finally some hot hot hot weather so if you and your vehicle are feeling the heat then maybe it's time to get that A/C system tested by our team of professionals.... Putting the chill into summer - it's what we do! Providing peace of mind and worry free driving is also what we do!

It's True; A True Warning To Drivers - We are seeing a disturbing trend with vehicles having to sit and wait! Why is this? Kyle took this panoramic picture of vehicles that are all having sleep overs at our service facility this week. We currently have 28 vehicles inside our service bays or outside in our secure compound that are mostly works in progress. BUT, 7 vehicles are waiting for manufacturer specific parts to arrive!... This is starting to be a normal trend these days. Parts unavailable through NAPA Parts stores as they are OEM (original equipment manufactured) specific parts. We are waiting 5 to 30+ business days for OE replacement parts to arrive from the dealerships. Alarming? Yes, we think it is. We are fortunate to be busy and thankful to have understanding and patient clients when parts are unavailable. Doing our best to get you back in your vehicle - it's what we do!

It's True; We know a thing or two about tired tires.... Here are a few pictures of recent tired tires rolling or not really through our service bays. Tires have many factors that make them tired or cause them to wear out prematurely. Factors like being pounded through pot holes, hitting curbs, under or over inflation, lack of tire rotations, worn steering or suspension components and punctures causing flats. Some tired tires are just worn down from a long life or sometimes t...he tire has good tread but the age and sun causes sidewall or tread cracking and an unsafe tire condition. 1. Pot hole or curb sidewall blister - not safe 2. Cupping / Chop worn tire not safe 3. Misaligned, worn front end parts and on wear bars not safe 4. Age / Weather cracking not safe. This last tire is a 9 year old never used spare mounted under the chassis and exposed to the elements. Imagine having a flat a needing to use this tire. Not sure about your tires, have a concern, just want to know the truth about the condition of your tires or if they just need a tire rotation and pressures set? Stop in or contact our team of professionals for a tire health assessment. We'll steer you right! Mid-season or Pre-trip Tire Management - It's what we do!

It's True; Sometimes it just a dawg gone dirty job. Here is a collection of pictures from this weeks dirty deeds files. Rain is a pain even for us in the automotive business. We know we need it but with rain comes mud and with mud comes severe vehicle issues. ... Mud packed frames, cross members, skid plates, driveline components, steering, suspension, brakes and tire rims. This creates the highway speed death wobble, shaking and massive vibration from the wheels. On a cleaner note, it looks like it might actually be a nice weekend so get out there, wash your vehicles, enjoy some sunshine and get some fresh air. It's what we definitely will be doing.

It's True; We ask ourselves 3 simple questions. Our recommendations better stand up to a second opinion. That is why when we recommend any maintenance, service or repairs we ask ourselves these 3 simple yet powerful questions and we need to answer "YES" all 3 times! 1. If this was our vehicle, would we perform the services or repairs as recommended?... 2. If this vehicle went to the dealership, would they make the same recommendation? 3. If this vehicle went to any other automotive franchise or independent shop, would they make the same recommendation? These 3 simple questions is one more way we build trust and confidence with our clients. Our true objective at DynEco is to make sure you are informed and understand the recommendations based on our diagnostic testing and inspections so you can make good buying decisions. We really are not here to "sell" you on any service or repairs and especially not something that isn't warranted or able to stand up to a second opinion. We'll even tell you if it can be deferred to a later mileage or date. If you know someone that is looking for honest & reliable service they can trust, a second opinion possibly or maybe just a new service provider then please refer them to our professional team. If they are not sure about giving us a try then send them to our Google listing for over 100 5/5 Reviews! Taking great care of people & their vehicles - it's what we do!

It's True: WE ARE BLESSED Walked out the front door of the office last night around 7:00pm to this spectacular and stunning rainbow. Probably one of the brightest I've ever seen with very clear colors down to the green and purples. The camera phone pictures really dont capture how clear this rainbow was. With all these crazy weather systems and rain forecasted all next week we are reminded of a safety and maintenance item that is often over looked. That is you vehicles winds...hield wiper blades. You definitely notice how poor they are when it is down pouring or conversely you notice how great they are after weve installed new NAPA wiper blades. Part of our added value no charge service is when purchasing our new NAPA wiper blades we install them for you for no charge. We also verify your washer nozzles are working correctly and well even fill up your washer fluid reservoir with our Premium NAPA -45C All Weather washer fluid with bug detergent cleaner. Come in and see our service team for clear vision in the rain and a full washer reservoir its what we do!

It's True; The coveted "motor mechanic" license. Hard to believe it was 34 years ago that I completed the apprenticeship program at NAIT to receive the motor mechanic license with a Red Seal Endorsement certification. I am proud to have the RSE designation and use it on my business cards. I'm often asked what it means. Todays post is what the Red Seal Trades Program is all about. ... From: ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada) Tradespeople are vital to Canadas economy. ESDC works with provinces and territories to deliver the Red Seal Trades Program. The Program works directly with the skilled trades industry. They develop standards and exams for Red Seal trades. A tradesperson who passes the Red Seal exam receives a Red Seal Endorsement. The Red Seal is proof that a tradesperson has met the National Standards in their trade. The Red Seal Program announced the official recognition of the "RSE" acronym (Red Seal Endorsement) for qualified, skilled journeypersons. This created an opportunity for individuals to easily reflect their qualifications while creating prestige for their credentials, in this case, the Red Seal Endorsement. Tradespeople who hold a valid certificate with a Red Seal can work anywhere in Canada without further training or examination. There are more than 50 Red Seal trades in Canada. Proud day for sure for my family and I. Two years later I ventured into business for myself never looking back through the good times for sure and many hard times. Proud to be RSE certified, employ 3 RSE Technicians, endorse 2 apprentices and employ 2 service advisors on the DynEco service team.

It's True; Maiden voyage for the 1968 Mercury Cougar 289c.i. 4 speed car last night from DynEco to the house and back to DynEco again this morning. She sure felt good rolling down the Whitemud at 50mph last night. Then again this morning in the cool crisp air at 5:30am the kitty cat and I went for a run down the Henday to 70mph. Then settled her in to a comfortable 60mph cruise speed. Ran like a true champion survivor car in full stock trim after sitting outside for 10 years.... She need a new fuel tank, rubber fuel lines and fresh fuel, over hauled the carb., some fresh oil and a new set of tires. The small block fired right up so Blaine performed a Scope Test with our Allen Scope, set the points, dwell and adjusted the carb. No new ignition parts required and she was good to go and go we did. Felt like I was a kid again in the late 70s in my first car. Another 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7, which I still have in pieces. A restoration put on hold due to life, kids and going into business at the age of 25. Hope you all get a chance to do something this summer that takes you back to being a kid again. Maybe its a soft serve DQ ice cream, an A&W Root Beer or a drive on the open road. Its true, something about bringing back memories of days gone by that makes you feel good.

It's True; Happy Canada Day and a little history for you all. It was July 1, 1867 when the colonies of Canada (Ontario & Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick joined to become a "kingdom in its own right" within the British Empire commonly known as the Dominion of Canada. Wow... 1867, 153 years ago! No cars and no electricity back then so no TV, Telephones and Social Media was a thing called a newspaper. Fun fact though, first social media in Canada (a.k.a. newspaper) was ...The Halifax Gazette. Its first edition was a two-page paper printed and distributed on March 23, 1752. Back then people use to do this crazy thing called the Royal Mail Canada where a hand written letter in an envelope with a stamp could be sent to another person. For better or worse, we've come a long way since the inception of Canada. So take a moment today to enjoy and celebrate Canada its what we will be doing. Oh, and a friendly reminder we are open today, bringing lunch in for the team to celebrate Canada day with our work family and will be closed Friday for a much needed 3 day long week.

It's True; Safety First - It's what and how we do it on many levels! Kyle needed new work shoes so on Saturday he went down to our favorite Jobsite Workwear store and look what they had. NAPA colored Timberland Steel Toe CSA Approved work shoes. Is that lucky or what. Jobsite has supplied us with great work wear, Carhartt clothing and safety gear for well over 10 years for sure and we highly recommend their stores for all your work & regular wear gear. We especially like Car...hartt kids wear for our new moms and dads. Weve been known to buy the odd gift from the selection of cool kids wear. VISIT them next time you need some rugged work wear or cool regular wear clothing it is for sure what we do! https://jobsiteworkwear.ca/ https://www.carhartt.com/ https://www.carhartt.com/category/carhartt-kids

It's True; Over the phone Guesstimating is really tough! A little bit of a longer read today but worth it. "The price driven consumer" Estimating over the phone consumes a lot of time to find out the caller is looking for the cheapest price without the understanding or knowledge of what is involved or truly needed. ... We know the importance of performing proper testing, inspections and diagnostic services. Quoting over the phone without every seeing the vehicle is an exercise in futility, wastes precious time in a day and usually ends up with a disappointed customer when a guesstimate was not accurate due to other conditions or components related to the guess. Or the estimate they go for was based on the lowest quality & cheapest parts with no other consideration like added value and warranty. Over the phone quotes are by no means a fair apple to apple comparison when shopping for automotive services this is very true. So how do we deal with this? When a caller asks how much for a job we ask what is the best price you've gotten so far. The next response is usually why. We explain that without seeing the vehicle we want to make sure they bring it here so we can treat them right, provide an accurate assessment and advise on any other concerns, conditions or related components that may be required. Also to showcase our business, added value programs, warranties and provide a truly great service experience to them. To do this we are willing to quote them a lower price than the best price they've had to date to get them here because really, that is how phone guesstimating works mostly. At this point they either hang up on us which limits wasting precious time of competing with the unknown or are intrigued by the response. This is our opportunity to educate and inform a first time caller as to why we would like to see the vehicle first, asses the condition and provide an accurate quote. We do take legitimate calls when a new client is wanting an approximate price for a service or repair without us seeing the vehicle to either budget or prepare for the cost. These are usually referral customers looking to be treated right, experience true service and become clients. Proper estimating vs. over the phone guesstimating - its what we do!

It's True; Canada Day Holiday is next Wednesday! We've made the executive decision to be open that day, close a little earlier than usual and take Friday July 3rd off. This is so all our team can enjoy a 3 day long weekend with family and friends. We've certainly been working hard over the last 2 months with all the seasonal tire change overs and spring maintenance servicing. Now we are heading towards the summer holiday season rush of clients getting ready for road trips, c...amping and visiting people outside of the city. Pre-trip & Holiday Travel Inspections Its what we do! Weve got you covered with pre-trip servicing and inspection as well as NAPA Roadside Protection for only $19.95 inc. gst for 6 months. Contact us or stop in person because nobody likes an unexpected breakdown on a road trip.

It's True; Another beauty in the service bays this week. Al's 1967 Ford Fairlane is another fine example of an American Muscle Car era survivor. If you look closely you'll see that big block 390c.i. engine stuffed in between those shock towers. What you may also notice is no power steering and no power brakes on this GTA model. Add the 4 wheel drum brake system and you have loads of power, arm strong steering and a serious need for a lot of foot pedal pressure to slow thi...s brut down. At DynEco, we enjoy old to new with both vehicles and our clients. We've been providing service, developing friendships, loyal clients and their families for over 30 years now. We always appreciate the business, many good times and the lasting memories for sure. Building long term relationships with vehicles and their owners - it's what we do!

It's True; Some repairs we perform are downright ridiculous. Subject; 2011 Chevrolet Equinox View; As seen through the left rear passenger door towards the dash Reason; A/C & Heater box removal ... Time to Complete; 12.0 hours to basically strip the interior & reassemble All this work just to gain access to the Heater & A/C box assembly to replace a broken plastic blend door that controls the heated and cooled air. We did replaced the heater core and air conditioning evaporator core while the box was out due to age, mileage and made sense as the client is keeping the vehicle for another 5-6 years. Again, it will pay off in the long run per our last FB post. We are happy to report no extra screws or parts left over! Top 3 captions we came up with for this picture; 1. Now where is that cabin filter anyways? 2. Don't worry, we'll find that rattle noise! 3. Border security are bound and determined to find something. Please feel free to add yours if you have a good caption to share. Tough jobs to easy jobs, we've got you covered - it's what we do!

It's True; Thought we'd post a post about a thought to think about. It's regarding the cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle. Many clients are quick to bail out of a 5-6 year old vehicle that was just paid off when it could last 7-12 years and save them thousands of dollars. This is proven and absolutely true!... By maintaining your vehicle, and were not just talking about oil changes, but all the fluids and maintenance items like brakes, steering, suspension, tune-ups and tires it absolutely pays off in the long run. By performing these services when recommend by the manufacturer time or mileage intervals or when a professional servicing technician and business you trust recommends service based on experience or actual conditions you can keep your vehicle in very good shape for a long time. It can last 10 to 12+ years and / or 200 to 300,000km or more. We've proven this out many times with many clients over 32 years. If you are not sure what to do with your vehicle, have questions, want good information or want a complete health assessment of your vehicle to see about going that extra time and mileage then we can help you with all of that. Helping clients with automotive information and education to make good to great automotive decisions - it's what we do!

Its True; A different kinda Hybrid here today. Dan brought in his Turbo Diesel VW powered 1985 Toyota 4 Runner for a little loving. This sturdy off road special is perfect for getting into trouble when you just have to be off the pavement. Dan did the conversion himself and she now purrs like a kitten but runs like a big cat when the Turbo Boost pounces. The big cat references are because Megan and him also own the Purple 1967 Cougar we featured a few posts back with the Tes...la all electric car. It all makes total sense now Muscle car for her, Off road for him. Our team certainly likes unique vehicles and this is the first unique vehicle weve had this year. Old, Classic, Modern, New, Hybrid and Full Electric Vehicles Its what we do! Test drive our professional team for your vehicle needs and experience what a true automotive service should be.

It's True; Noises matter! We provide peace of mind and worry free driving for noise concerns. If you have a noise concern, don't ignore it. It can become a costly repair and truly an unsafe driving condition in a hurry. All the balls fell out of this failed front wheel bearing at highway speed causing a blown tire, damaged spindle, axle shaft, brake pads, brake rotor and caliper. A costly repair and unsafe condition that could have been avoided for sure had the noise been in...spected before a catastrophic failure occurred. If you have a noise concern come see our professional team for a diagnosis and all in estimate its what we do!

Its Very True; Fun Fact Friday! Yes, Stephen Harper, Rona Ambrose and a few invited guests were here at DynEco 11 years ago True story! A client noticed our scrolling picture frame in our waiting area and remarked Is that really Stephen Harper right here at DynEco?... The answer was yes and then of course we had to tell the story and what an amazing experience it was so thought we would share this again today. It was October 2009 when the then Prime Minister of Canada was here in Alberta promoting the Carbon Recovery initiative program. The Harper entourage including Rona Ambrose, who at the time was Canadas Environment Minister, as well as a host of support personal, RCMP and Special Agent security types held a meeting here in Edmonton. It was the first time a meeting was to be held in a non-conventional location and that was right here at DynEco / NAPA AUTOPRO. We fired up our steamed hot dog and bun machine and brought in pizza for a private lunch in our upstairs office with Mr. Harper and Ms. Ambrose before the actual meeting was held. It was quite an event for us and the few invited local business leaders to host a meeting of this caliber in our blue collar environment service centre. This was also the year Kyle went to the World Karting Finals in Egypt after wining the Western Canadian Chamionship with Team Canada. We were able to have our picture taken with the PM as well as our whole team at the time. Sometimes you just get lucky and know a guy that can connect you up to host a major event like this thank you Vitor M. It was an amazing day and experience to say the least and one we wont forget.

It's True; We service Hybrids too! From full mechanical vehicles, Hybrids and our first full electric Tesla from Monday's post. Raymond (who is turning 75 soon - happy birthday sir) had his brand new 2020 Toyota Corolla LE Hybrid in for its first inspection and wanted a few accessories installed. You can teach an old ummm elder client a new trick by having him own a modern technology vehicle. ... These hybrid crossovers from old school to new school are really pretty cool considering you have the ability to run on gas, a combination of both or full electric power. We have quite a few clients with Hybrids and we certainly have the training and "NAPA AUTOPRO KNOW HOW". Hybrids, one more thing we do!

It's True; Our 1st Tesla was in the house Friday. Was in for it's first oil change... We'll just let that sink in Also in, this beuatiful 1967 Mercury Cougar. Old School Mechanical Car Vs Futuristic All Electric Car. 52 Year span of automotive technology... Andrew's Tesla futuristic electric car required a routine tire rotation for its maintenance / mileage interval. Megan & Dan dropped of thier super old school 1967 Cougar for some TLC. This sweet ride is equipped with a High Performance V8 engine, manual transmission, no power steering, no power brakes, manual roll up windows and manual door locks. Can't get any more mechanical and old school then this fine example of a late 60's muscle car. Old school to new school "We've got you covered" It's what we do!

Its NOT True; Part 3 of 3. Warning Lights Disconnecting the Battery is a good way to clear codes and check the charging system NOT TRUE & NOT A THING !!! This is one of the worst things you can do to try and clear warning lights or see if the charging system is working. The 50s and 60s are over! Disconnecting a battery on todays vehicles can and will cause codes, disrupt computers, creates communication and voltage signal errors or cause other warning lights to come ...on. Doing so with the vehicle running to "check the charging system is bad advice and can cause a high voltage spike that can burn out fuses, damage computers or cause an alternator failure. All of these can be very expensive repairs when using improper procedures or be given bad advice. Batteries can and will explode causing serious damage or injuries. Even boosting batteries on todays vehicles requires extra precautions. Being careful to get it right is important or costly repairs can occur.
