Injector cleaning in Calgary??

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a place in Calgary that is specialized in Fuel Injector cleaning and flow testing?

This place looks awesome for that (but in the US): Witchhunter

I got it from:

The guys in witchhunt charge $12US per injector but free if it can't be recovered!

How bad are yours? Just run a couple of cycles of techron through the gas. But change the oil after. Should clean them up fine, especially if you go for a long hiway run.

I have used it in the past but when I pulled the spark plugs they didn't look quite the same all across.. I know there are many other factors but I truly believe that after a rusty fuel tank and 25 years there are solid deposits that can't be cleaned with chemicals..

I'm not even sure if the injectors were designed to last that long.. But since they're truly mechanical they could last a lot longer than the modern injectors..


I'd really like to see how they were before/after the clean like in this report:





The car is sleeping in Hyma's garage but once I get my garage built I'll start working on it again...

I just took a few sets in to a local place in Waterloo, Ontario. Didn't need cleaning after they were flow tested good. Met original specs. Cost to test was $2 each and around $5 each for seal kits.
