FAQ
Yes! When shopping for used cars in Calgary, peace of mind is essential. Every vehicle at Stampede Auto passes a rigorous 150-point inspection and comes with a Carfax vehicle history report. We provide warranties on our pre-owned vehicles to ensure you drive off our lot with complete confidence.
For most modern vehicles, we recommend getting an oil change every 8,000 to 12,000 kilometers, or roughly every 6 months. However, if you do a lot of heavy stop-and-go commuting on Deerfoot Trail or take frequent short trips during harsh Alberta winters, you may need more frequent changes. Always check your vehicle’s specific owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s exact guidelines.
Keeping your tires properly inflated is crucial for safe driving in Calgary. You can easily check this using a standard tire pressure gauge:
Remove the valve cap on your tire.
Press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem until the hissing stops.
Read the number on the gauge.
Compare this to the recommended PSI, which is usually printed on a sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb (not on the tire itself).

Auto detailing goes far beyond a standard run-through car wash. It is a comprehensive, top-to-bottom deep cleaning, restoration, and finishing of a vehicle, both inside and out. At our used car dealership in Calgary, professional detailing is part of our reconditioning process, ensuring every vehicle looks, smells, and feels as close to brand-new as possible.
Yes, an oil leak is always an urgent issue. Engine oil is the lifeblood of your car; it lubricates the moving internal engine parts. Without enough oil, friction generates immense heat that can quickly cause catastrophic, irreversible engine failure. If you notice dark puddles under your car or smell burning oil, have a certified mechanic inspect it immediately.
Brake pulsation—that vibrating or juddering feeling in the brake pedal or steering wheel when you slow down—is typically caused by warped brake rotors. Extreme temperature fluctuations (like riding your brakes down steep Rocky Mountain passes) or driving with worn-out brake pads can cause the flat surface of the rotors to become uneven.
To maximize the lifespan of your tires, you should rotate them every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. A great rule of thumb is to simply ask your mechanic to rotate your tires every time you go in for a scheduled oil change.
