Need help/info in Calgary

Post by bikepoor »

Two Questions;
#1 - Do any of you have a name for a good mechanic that I can contact for an out of province inspection. I have just been blown off by every Alberta certified inspection place I went to because of RHD. This is a new problem for me. I have imported several British RHD units in the past, and the wrenches have never even blinked when I brought them in. I think it's because England was on the same team in the war.

#2 - Do any of you have a spare pasenger mirror lens, or complete head, or know where to get one. Loading the spare tires from the Jeep I sold to get the Deli, I slipped on the ice outside my house and went Bruce Lee on my mirror. Hand fine, mirror, not so much.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Try contacting kirkland auto in the sw (just off maleod trail),they are a great bunch,just not sure if they actually do OPIs

I went to pro-active in the NE, did a fine job but there's the odd folks on this site with some less than brilliant experiences.

No help here re. Your mirror

I busted a side mirror over the summer, and found you have to replace the whole housing, not just the mirror. I got my replacement from CCAutos, Mardy may also have one as well, or try John at Rocky Mountain Imports.

I know at home when I busted a mirror on a car they actually recommended that I head over to a mirror cutting place, can't remember what they're called, but they should be able to make you up one. Cheaper/easier than getting one in, and usually fits pretty good as they're more custom.

Just a thought :M
