How to Winterize Your Vehicle at CMP Auto

The winter months are practically here! With the imminent arrival of cold, snowy, and icy conditions, it is important to equip your vehicle before it is too late. If it has been awhile since you’ve paid attention to certain parts of your car, truck, or SUV, now is the time to schedule an appointment with our CMP Auto service department (located at our Calgary car dealership). Whether you’re looking to winterize your Chevrolet Cruze, GMC Terrain, or any of the other vehicles you own, our service experts are ready to deliver outstanding service.
 
Windshield wipers and washer fluid
 
During the winter, snow is a common sight in Calgary. That’s why it is crucial to have properly working windshield wipers and plenty of washer fluid for every drive. Having clear visibility (especially during the most intense snow storms) is one of the top ways to stay safe on the road. If you’ve noticed that your windshield wiper blades are not cleaning your windshield as well as they should be, stop into our service center to order a replacement.
 
Vehicle heating system
 
If your heater is having difficulties keeping your vehicle warm, now is the time to get the problem fixed. Not only is having improper heating an inconvenience, but it can also become a safety issue if you are exposed to the extreme cold for too long. Don’t wait until your vehicle’s heater has stopped working completely to address the issue. Have our team of service experts correct the root cause of the problem.
 
Tires
 
Tires with worn tread are incredibly dangerous on slippery roads. That’s why now is the best time to replace old tires. Proper tire tread gives your vehicle the necessary traction to drive safely in the snow and in icy conditions.

How Do You Know it’s Time For an Oil Change?

Routine car maintenance is an essential part of keeping your car running smoothly for as long as possible. If you are new to car maintenance, one of the most fundamental things to know is when to get an oil change. Scheduling regular oil changes helps ensure that you get the best gas mileage, and keeps your engine in top shape.
 
Our Chevy dealers in Calgary want to help you keep your car in peak condition. If you are unsure of whether or not it is time for an oil change on your vehicle, take a look at these top three indicators:
 
You’ve Reached the Mileage or Date Listed on Your Oil Change Sticker
 
Perhaps one of the most obvious ways to know if it is time for an oil change is to pay attention to the sticker placed on the upper corner of the driver’s side windshield after your last oil change. If you are getting close to or have exceeded the mileage or date listed, it is time to make an appointment.
 
Your Engine is Making Loud Noises
 
Is your engine running louder than normal? Especially in older cars, this could be a sign that it is time to change your oil. While loud engine sounds could be a sign of a different problem, it is important to take your car in to the service center as soon as possible to identify the root cause.
 
Your Oil Replacement Light Comes On
 
Lost track of the last time you got an oil change? No problem! Dashboard lights in modern cars are a great way to know if your car needs maintenance. If your oil replacement light is illuminated, it is time to make an appointment as soon as possible.
 
The Importance of Regular Oil Changes
 
When it’s time for an oil change on your GMC Sierra, schedule an appointment with our service department. We are located at 1313 36 St. NE in Calgary, AB. We offer fast and affordable oil changes, along with a free shuttle service, free Wi-Fi, and refreshments. Book your oil change appointment by phone or online today!

Why Buy Used at CMP Auto

Looking for reliable used cars in Calgary? While the idea of buying a used vehicle (rather than a new vehicle) can seem a bit intimidating, there are tips that you can use to ensure a smooth experience. Here at CMP Auto, we carefully inspect all used vehicles that are brought on to our lot. Even if you are planning on purchasing one of our used vehicles, there is still information that you should be aware of. Before you start your search for a used vehicle, review the three main things you should know before buying.
 
What you are looking for in a vehicle
 
What are your expectations for your used vehicle? Do you need something affordable, and are willing to buy a high mileage vehicle that may require maintenance soon? Are you looking for a barely used vehicle in like-new condition? Are you willing to be flexible on the make and model? These are all questions you should ask yourself prior to starting your search for a used vehicle. Having a clear focus and proper expectations will help you know exactly what you want, and will allow you to better communicate with your dealer.
 
The vehicle’s history
 
A careful inspection of a used vehicle doesn’t mean that it is without flaws. Some used vehicles may have had minor problems in the past that are important to know. Ask about the vehicle’s maintenance history, number of previous owners, and if there is anything else important about the vehicle’s past.
 
Current maintenance information
 
Separate from the vehicle history, you should also inquire about the vehicle’s current maintenance information. Is the mileage almost at a point where the vehicle will require major routine maintenance? Will anything else need to be fixed or replaced in the near future? Not only can this information help you make your selection, but it can also prevent you from any surprise expenses down the road.
 
Explore our used vehicle inventory today!
 
Ready to browse our selection of pre-owned vehicles at our Calgary used car dealership? Our friendly and knowledgeable CMP Auto dealers can answer any questions you have about a used vehicle’s history, its features, and about getting the financing for your new-to-you vehicle. We look forward to your visit!

The Chevrolet Silverado has incredible features such as lane keep assist, low-speed forward automatic braking, and a rear vision camera.
 
Keep Your Vehicle Properly Maintained
 
A car, truck, or SUV that hasn’t been properly maintained can be dangerous (especially in inclement weather). Be sure that you are regularly replacing your tires, windshield wiper blades, and staying aware of any sudden changes in your vehicle. If you know that your car will need maintenance to keep it in top shape, schedule your service appointment at CMP Auto before the Calgary winter arrives.

CMP Auto Summer Car Care Tips

For the most part, responsible Calgary Cadillac owners are going to follow the maintenance schedules in their automotive handbooks to make sure their vehicles run smoothly, but something about the heat of the summer (especially following the brutal cold of the winter) wreaks havoc on certain parts in your car, truck, or SUV. Knowing this, we recommend allowing CMP Auto service technicians to take a look at your vehicle this summer to determine whether any parts unexpectedly require replacement.
 
Here’s a look at the most commonly replaced parts in the summertime:
 
Windshield Wipers – Remember back in January how frustrated you were when ice gunked up your windshield wipers, rendering them essentially unusable? Well, the bad news is that the damage that ice did doesn’t just go away once warm weather rolls in. The good news is that they’re pretty affordable to replace, and we are happy to do that for you the next time you’re in.
 
Hoses and Belts – The brutality of summer heat can be bad for the hoses and belts that keep everything connected in your vehicle. A crack or split in any of them could shut you down completely, and since summer means long road trips, that could be especially bad in an unfamiliar stretch of highway.
 
Batteries – Heat is not great for batteries, and since so many people only change theirs once they go to start their car and it won’t turn over, we do see a lot of battery-related issues from June through August. If you haven’t changed out your battery in a while, this summer might be the time to do it!
 
GM dealers in Calgary only want the best for Calgary, AB customers and their vehicles, and taking care of these parts could go a long way toward making sure they stay in great shape!

We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: summer in Calgary, AB is just about as good as it gets, due in large part to the multitude of activities that are available to locals and visitors from June through August. July obviously is smack-dab in the middle of the warm season, and with that comes a handful of really fun events for you (and your family and friends) to attend. Here’s a quick look at some of the hottest things going on for Calgary GMC owners this month:
 
Calgary Stampede (July 7-16) – First and foremost, it’s impossible to mention July in Calgary, AB without first mentioning the Calgary Stampede, maybe the biggest, most exciting event the city hosts all year. While the Stampede is known primarily for its rodeo and stage shows, there obviously is a lot more to do at the event than that, with carnival rides and games, shopping, and delicious food all part of the event. More than any other summer festival, the Calgary Stampede is what makes July special in this part of the province!
 
Fiestaval Latin Festival (July 21-23) – There are a number of rich cultural heritages in our area, but few show those heritages off as beautifully as those that run Fiestaval every year. This free event runs in late July at Olympic Plaza and includes all sorts of Latin music performers and of course some truly excellent food. It’s a fun, free day to spend outside!
 
Calgary Folk Fest (July 27-30) – Folk music festivals are popular all over North America in the summer, but we’re especially excited about our own Calgary Folk Fest, which this year features talented artists like Martha Wainwright, The Deep dark Woods, and the Bros Landreth.

It’s important to remember, however, that buying your first vehicle is supposed to be an exciting experience, and here at CMP Auto, we want to make sure our Calgary, AB customers end up behind the wheel of a vehicle they’re going to love for a price they can afford. Whether that’s a new Chevrolet Cruze or Buick Verano, our sales associates want to help.

Financing Your Vehicle at CMP Auto

The way that automotive customers in Calgary, AB finance their automobiles has changed quite a bit over the course of the last several years, and we mean that in the best way possible. It used to be that buyers had to get pre-approval for an auto loan from their bank or credit union in advance to their visit at our Chevy dealership in Calgary, but now you can walk right into CMP Auto and someone in our finance department can help you with funding in-house.
 
That doesn’t mean, of course, that customers shouldn’t do their due diligence before looking to buy a new Chevrolet Equinox or a used Chevy Silverado. We’ll find financing for you here, but in advance of the test drive, here are a few things you should do:
 
  • Check your budget. Go through your monthly expenses and try to get a sense of how much you can afford. There’s no point getting your heart set on a vehicle that won’t fit into your budget, plus this will help you determine whether you’ll want to buy a new or certified pre-owned vehicle.
  • Determine whether you want to buy or lease. There are pros and cons to both, and one of our finance specialists can break down the difference.
  • Research models within your budget online. We have loads of great Cadillac models in stock, both new and used, so do a little window shopping before heading into the building with an open checkbook.
  • Use our online payment calculator to estimate your monthly payments based on your targeted down payment, interest rate, and loan term.
 
If you need any help with this process, just reach out to CMP Auto and we’ll be happy to make financing easier than it ever has been!

Safe Driving Tips for CMP Auto Customers

The weather is starting to turn here in Calgary, AB, and since so much of the year in this part of the country is so much colder than we’d like it to be, it’s easy to get excited about the warmer temperatures. Some people get so excited to be out making the most of their GM automobiles in the warm weather that they forget how to drive with safety in mind. Knowing that, we’d like to remind Calgary Cadillac drivers of a few driving safety tips as we head into one of the busier driving seasons of the year:
 
First and foremost, the best way to stay safe while driving is to actually focus on the road. It sounds simple, but distracted driving is one the most common causes of auto accidents and can easily be avoided simply by keeping eyes on the road rather than on devices or other distractions. The best way to be the best driver is to keep 100 percent of your attention on the road at all times.
 
Beyond that, it helps to drive defensively, which means being aware of your surroundings and any potential problems those surroundings may cause for you. In other words, assume that everybody else on the road will do something unexpected, and be ready for anything. Some ways to help with this are to maintain at least a two-second cushion between you and the car ahead of you, and even longer if the weather is bad.
 
Other than that, just driving vehicles like the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Equinox help with safety thanks to advanced safety features and good crash test scores. If you’d like to check these vehicles out in person, head on down to CMP Auto and let our vehicles help keep you and your family safer than ever!

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.

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.

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!
