The moment you walk through the doors of our shop on Yellowhead Trail, you’ll feel a difference.  Maybe you’ll relax a bit, knowing that your vehicle and you and are in good hands. You’ll probably meet Max, a 2 year old Doodle who hangs out at the shop with us most days and keeps us all smiling.

First and foremost, Bird Automotive is a family business.  Our staff have been with us for years and there likely isn’t an automotive project we haven’t seen.  We’ve been operating since 1994 and we service all types of vehicles.  We tend to specialize in European brands, but our customers are very diverse.  Some come in looking for some love for their 1995 Ford Escape, hoping to get a few more years of life out of it.  Others bring in their prized BMW’s, Audi’s, and Porsche’s, knowing we understand their cars very well and will give them the very best service available.  We recently re-built a V12 for a customer’s rare 1990 BMW 850 – a project most shops like ours would be hesitant to take on.  We nailed it, and the customer was thrilled.

We are a friendly, resourceful group.  We like challenges, but above all, we like happy customers who appreciate quality work at a fair price.

The most important thing you can do for your vehicle?  Maintain it.  Preventive maintenance is a schedule of planned maintenance actions.  Performed properly, we can help your vehicle to deliver peak performance and reduce the risk of costly breakdowns and failures.

Automotive Tune Up

Traditional tune-ups of years gone by involved changing the spark plugs, cap and rotor while tweaking the carburetor.

Automotive technology has come a long way, and so have tune-ups. Modern tune-ups start with a complete system scan identifying any recorded errors or issues and continue on to fuel injector cleaning, electronic system and sensor analysis, ignition system testing and comprehensive performance checks.

Scheduled tune-ups help ensure your vehicle will perform at peak performance level, year after year, while reducing the possibility of road side break downs and costly repairs.

Other benefits of properly maintaining your vehicle include longer service life, greater resale value and better fuel efficiency.

Diagnostic Scans

Oil Change: Synthetic or Mineral

Automotive Computer Services

Emissions: Inspections, Failures, and Repairs

Fuel System Fuel Injection Services

You know that feeling you get when you enter a store for the first time and realize it’s absolutely amazing – and you wonder why you’ve never shopped there before.  Or maybe you stop there often because it’s filled with beautiful and unique items to make your home special.

That store might just be Reside Furnishings.  This family business started in Edmonton in 1978. Known for many years as Leather Elite, Reside was established in 2013 by the Lundgren family in an effort to fill a gap in the Edmonton furniture market – a unique collection of furniture and home decor made with a wide selection of reclaimed and sustainable materials – think solid wood, wrought iron, airplane metal, and other unique, attractive and lasting materials.

“Our relationships are lasting and we’re proud to call our long-time customers family,” says David Lundgren, President Reside Furnishings.  “We decided a long time ago, more than 30 years, in fact, that we would always put our customers first. This philosophy has served us well, and we now have second and third generations of families purchasing from us. Those are relationships we’re extremely proud of.”

Check out some photos of the delights you’ll find when you step into either the Mayfield Road or south side locations.

“We will welcome you into our store the same way we’d welcome guests into our home”, says Lundgren.  “We figure our furniture is going to last a long time, so our relationships should too.”

Have a penchant for the unique and unusual?  Items with ‘character’?  Quality? It makes your beautiful items last a long time, and because many of our products are made with natural materials, you may notice variations in the look of your fine wood, leather, marble or slate products as they gracefully age.  These natural characteristics are what give your furniture ‘soul’.

Come celebrate the difference!

“We stand behind our pricing. We will guarantee our price for 60 days after your purchase. If during that time you notice a change in our regular price on the identical item, we will refund the difference with an in store credit. Our price guarantee does not include any seasonal authorized sales and is subject to managerial approval.”
