Advanced Ford Service, Performance & Restomod Capabilities in Calgary

Ford IDS & FDRS Module Coding and Advanced Diagnostics in Calgary


We don’t just scan for error codes. Our team uses both Ford IDS and FDRS systems — the same diagnostic platforms trusted by Ford dealerships. This allows us to:

  • Reprogram critical modules (PCM, TCM, BCM, ABS, and more).
  • Handle advanced calibrations including immobilizer/keys, adaptive cruise, and ABS.
  • Perform warranty-compliant service on newer Ford models, while also offering custom ECU calibration that dealerships cannot provide.

This combination of factory-level access and performance tuning freedom is unique to Lakeview, making us the go-to shop for both daily-driver maintenance and high-performance builds.


Ford Engine Disassembly, Rebuilds & Performance Builds


We rebuild Ford engines in-house — from EcoBoost turbos to Coyote V8s and even the massive 7.3L Godzilla platform. With specialized Ford tooling for timing chains, cam/crank alignment, and full teardown, plus our in-house CNC machining, we can:

  • Restore tired engines to OEM spec.
  • Build high-performance short and long blocks capable of 1,000+ horsepower.
  • Design and fabricate custom brackets, mounts, and drivetrain adapters in CAD.

This means whether your F-150 needs a timing chain service or your Mustang is destined for four-digit horsepower, we can handle it under one roof.


Custom Fabrication & CNC Machining for Ford Restomods and Performance Builds


Unlike most shops, we run a 3-axis CNC machine in-house, capable of machining aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. Our fabrication shop includes TIG welders, tube benders, and full exhaust/turbo system capability — including titanium fabrication. Past projects include:

  • Custom intake manifolds from billet aluminum.
  • Turbo kits with handmade piping and intercoolers.
  • Drivetrain adapters for engine swaps.
  • Suspension and chassis components.

Every part is designed in-house with CAD, ensuring precision and performance. No other independent Ford shop in Calgary offers this combination of design, machining, and fabrication.


Ford Dyno Tuning & Calibration with Mustang MD150x AWD Dyno


Tuning is where performance builds come alive. Our Mustang MD150x AWD dyno (in-ground) allows us to safely tune everything from stock trucks to 1,000+ hp builds. We work with all major tuning software, including:

  • HP Tuners
  • SCT
  • COBB Accessport
  • ECUTEC
  • Syvecs
  • Link
  • MoTeC and even WinOLS for advanced calibrations

Whether you’re chasing efficiency, drivability, or maximum power on pump gas or E85/alt fuels, our calibration team delivers results.


Complete Ford Restomod & Classic Integration


We don’t just restore — we re-engineer classics. From Coyote swaps in vintage Mustangs to Godzilla-powered Broncos, our team integrates modern powertrains, drivetrains, and electronics into timeless chassis. Services include:

  • Full engine and transmission swaps (including Ford’s 10-speed automatics).
  • CAN bus integration, EFI conversions, and digital dash installs.
  • Suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades for modern safety and handling.
  • Partnerships with Calgary’s best body shop (Legacy Speed & Body) for show-quality finishes.

This makes us Calgary’s one-stop destination for Ford restomods — capable of blending heritage with high-performance modern reliability.


Decades of Ford Experience, One Team of Specialists


Lakeview Automotive has been known for Ford expertise in Calgary since the early 1980s. Today, our team includes:

  • 6 Ford-specialized technicians, each with 6–20+ years of hands-on experience.
  • Expertise spanning daily-driver F-150s, EcoBoost platforms, Mustangs, and full-blown restomods.
  • A balanced workload: ~33% daily maintenance, ~33% performance builds, ~33% classics/restorations.

And while we’ve handled countless Ford projects, one standout was our early Godzilla-swapped 2012 Mustang — a ground-breaking build that required custom turbo manifolds, intake design, and early aftermarket ECU integration. It produced 800 whp and 900 wtq, and put us among the first shops in the world to make the platform work.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Is it better to service my Ford at a dealership or an independent shop in Calgary?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Will bringing my Ford to Lakeview Automotive void my factory warranty?

    Due to extreme temperature swings, most Fords in Calgary benefit from oil changes every 6,000–8,000 km, with inspections twice a year — spring and fall — to prepare for harsh winters and hot summers.

  • How often should I bring my Ford in for service in Calgary’s climate?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Why do Ford EcoBoost engines need extra care in Alberta?

    Turbocharged engines naturally run richer fuel mixtures under boost and generate higher combustion pressures. When cold, more blow-by slips past the piston rings, contaminating the oil with hydrocarbons. That makes the oil dirtier faster and accelerates wear on components it touches — most notably the timing chains and, in some cases, engine bearings. Calgary’s cold winters make this effect even worse, which is why shorter oil intervals and proper warm-up are so important for EcoBoost owners.

  • Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts for Ford repairs?

    We use OEM whenever possible, but for older Fords or discontinued parts, high-quality remanufactured or aftermarket components are sourced.

  • Do you offer warranty on Ford repairs and parts?

    Yes. All services at Lakeview Automotive come with a 1-year parts and labour warranty unless otherwise specified.

  • Can you handle warranty repairs with Ford dealerships?

    Yes. If we identify a warranty-related issue, we’ll help you coordinate with a Ford dealer to get it resolved properly.

  • Do you restore and modernize classic Mustangs and Broncos?

    Yes. From full frame-off restorations to modern drivetrain swaps, we’ve rebuilt everything from ’60s Mustangs to vintage Broncos.

  • Do you integrate modern electronics into classic Fords?

    Yes. We specialize in Coyote and 7.3L Godzilla swaps, often paired with modern 6-speed or 10-speed transmissions.

  • Do you tune Ford Mustangs and F-150s in Calgary?

    Yes. We’re certified tuners for HP Tuners, COBB, Syvecs, Link, and more. Our Mustang AWD dyno lets us tune Fords up to 1,500 hp reliably.

  • Can you tune Fords for E85 or alternative fuels?

    Yes. We tune for gasoline, ethanol blends, and flex-fuel systems depending on your build.

  • Do you service Ford fleet vehicles in Calgary?

    Yes. We maintain and repair Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs for local businesses with fleet needs.

  • What are your lead times for Ford service appointments?

    For routine services, 1–2 weeks. For performance builds or restorations, expect longer — demand is high, and waiting for the right shop is worth it.
