Spring Events in Calgary, AB

 

While we enjoy winter sports, we’re looking forward to the warmer weather and the abundance of activities in our region this spring!
 
Thankfully for Calgary GMC fans, there are plenty of great reasons to pile the family into the SUV and take to the city for some great spring events, including:
 
Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo – At the end of April, some of entertainment’s biggest stars will descend upon the Calgary Expo for four days of  fun. This year, stars from “Stranger Things,” “Game of Thrones” and “The Avengers” all will come through Calgary for this Comic Con, so it will be worth your time!
 
Scotiabank Calgary Marathon – Our Chevy dealers in Calgary appreciate the beauty of movement, which is why we encourage plenty of people to sign up for this year’s Scotiabank Calgary Marathon, set for the end of May. Aside from the running, there are loads of fitness demos, great food, and even prizes. Best of all, the event raises a lot of money for Alberta charities, which means all of this goes toward a good cause, as well.
 
Calgary International Children’s Festival – Also in May, this huge children’s festival brings over 60,000 people to Arts Commons and Olympic Plaza to enjoy their kids taking part in interactive activities, award-wining theatre, and plenty of entertainment ranging from jugglers to musicians. It’s a great time for the entire family.
 
If you’re looking for a new Chevy, Buick, or GMC vehicle to transport you to these spring-time activities, be sure to stop by CMP Auto. We’ll be happy to set you up on a test drive!

Top Dining Options in Calgary, AB

One of the biggest benefits of living in our area is that Calgary GMC drivers can just hop into their automobiles and drive to one of the many excellent restaurants located nearby, ranging from inexpensive and delightfully greasy to fancy and decadent. Frankly, we are truly blessed to find ourselves situated among so many great places to eat, but for folks new to the area or even long-time residents looking to try something new, here are a few of our favorite restaurants in Calgary, AB:
 
River Café – One of the classier joints in the area, the River Café offers meals with several courses, including all sorts of opulent choices ranging from duck to lamb. It’s a great spot for an anniversary or even a date night.
 
Charcut Roast House – Also among the best fine dining establishments in the area, the Charcut Roast House serves up some of the tastiest steaks in Alberta, and the classy ambiance and world-class chefs make it a place worth visiting.
 
Gaga Pizza – Of course, not everybody wants to eat at upper-crust places every night, so sometimes a little thin crust is just what the doctor ordered. The ingredients at Gaga Pizza are fresh, the atmosphere is casual, and the staff is undeniably friendly, which is what makes this place one of Calgary’s finest.
 
There are plenty of other outstanding places to eat in the area, but these three are a good start.

There are many things for fans of  Cadillac cars in Calgary, AB to love about their vehicles, but when it comes to stunningly lavish automobiles like the 2017 Cadillac CT6, one of the best things is the overwhelmingly awesome use of technology. The Cadillac CT6, for example, is the sort of model that should absolutely blow away Calgary customers considering buying a new vehicle loaded with the hottest new tech.
 
Here are five of our favorite technology features equipped on the 2017 Cadillac CT6:

Retractable Speaker – This particular Cadillac vehicle features 34 speakers scattered throughout the automobile for an optimal audio experience, but one of them sits directly above the aforementioned touchscreen display and opens and retracts when the sound system is turned on and off.
 
Retractable Media Screens – Both the driver and front passenger seats hide retractable media screens for passengers in the back seats to enjoy on long trips.
 
Massage Chairs – Feeling stressed out? You’ll love these massage features in the two front seats. Everybody deserves a little back rub once in a while, even if it comes from your vehicle.
 
Advanced Safety Tech – Features like lane-keeping assistance, frontal collision avoidance, and automatic braking make this one of the safest Cadillac automobiles ever to hit the pavement.

Buying Used Vehicles at CMP Auto

When it comes to buying used or pre-owned Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles at CMP Auto, there are a few things that Calgary, AB customers can do to ensure they have the best purchasing experience possible. One huge advantage that used models have over brand new ones is that the inventory borders on limitless, with all sorts of makes and models available from all sorts of different model years with all sorts of miles tacked onto their odometers.
 
The trick, of course, is figuring out which used GMC model is best for you, and that means the first step in purchasing a pre-owned automobile is going through your budget to determine just what kind of vehicle you can afford. There are several car loan calculators online that can help with this, so just punch all your numbers into one of those then take a look at our used and Certified Pre-Owned inventory to determine what sorts of vehicles you may be interested in purchasing.
 
Once you’ve landed on something, the next step is to take the vehicle for a test drive and do a little research on the vehicle’s history. Obviously the good people here at CMP Auto are going to sell you cars with good histories, but that doesn’t mean the consumer shouldn’t still check for their own peace of mind. Test driving, of course, ensures you love the car in reality as much as you did on paper.
 
Finally, it all comes down to financing, which you actually can do right here in-house with our financial department. We’ll comb several local and national financing establishments to find you the best interest rates, and that’s when we can wrap up the details.

2017 GMC Acadia Among Top SUVs for Pets

 

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly half of all pet owners view their animals as part of their family, something that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise for anyone who ever has owned a beloved family pet. People love their animals, and here at CMP Auto we love people’s animals, too, which is why we want to keep them as comfortable and safe in our new and used GMC models as we possibly can.
 
In fact, GMC vehicles show up on quite a few lists of “Friendliest Vehicles for Pets,” with the 2017 GMC Acadia being the one model that shows up on the largest number of them. Considering its size, safety features, and pet-friendly accessories, we can understand why it would mean so much for Airdrie, AB customers to make the most of them when their animals are involved.
 
“We know that nearly 40 percent of utility buyers are using their vehicles to transport their pets on a weekly basis, and we think that the vehicles in the GMC portfolio offer the tools that our customers need to safely travel with their four-legged friends,” said Hugh Milne, one-time GMC Marketing Manager
 
Specifically, the GMC Acadia offers a power liftgate, a seating system that slides and folds to create a maximum amount of space in what amounts to a cavernous storage area, bench seating in the second row for easy storage of crates, and of course a number of fantastic safety features that keep these animals almost as safe as human beings in seatbelts should an accident occur.
 
If you’re interested in test-driving the new GMC Acadia, feel free to bring your pet with you to see how they like it. Hopefully, they’ll be just as in love with the SUV as you are!

Winter Sports and Activities near Calgary, AB

 

Is it your New Year’s Resolution to be more active? Maybe your resolution was to explore more of what Calgary and the surrounding area has to offer? Now that the holidays are over it’s an ideal time to schedule a day or weekend trip with friends and family to take advantage of our region’s resources. There are dozens of great things to do around here during the winter season, and thanks to versatile vehicles available at CMP Auto like the 2017 GMC Terrain, it’s easy to drive to any of them even in snowy conditions.

The most obvious winter sports are skiing and snowboarding, and in fact there are people who make the trip out to WinSport in Calgary just to take advantage of these things. The facility is open until 9:00 p.m. on weeknights and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and holidays, and they offer private lessons and plenty of courses of varying difficulty.

There also are plenty of great winter hikes available to the people of this great province, and just a short 45-minute drive in your 2017 GMC Canyon can take you to Heart Creek Trail, which offers a reasonably easy winter hike around a lovely creek.

For kids that love to sled, Calgary offers some ideal spots, including the hills at St. Andrews Park near the University of Calgary, which offer 500-foot rides. There’s also Confederation Park and Nose Hill Park, the latter of which is well suited for younger children.

Yes, it’s cold outside, but the frigid air shouldn’t been seen as something to keep Canadians from making the most of the winter season. Instead, hop into your slick all-wheel drive GMC SUVs and get out to enjoy the best activities the season has to offer!
