Auto Oil & Lube in Calgary, Canada

I have always had good luck with Knibbe in the NW

I use Integra tire in Douglasglen. Wes is very honest and have been going there for years.

I really like the guys at Our Mechanic, they have always treated me fairly. http://www.ourmechanicinc.mechanicnet.com 403 277 7174 3927 3 a St NE, Calgary, AB T2E 2M7

Broken Axle. They work more on trucks and 4 x4 s but they're good and not expensive.

Adair Auto in the SE is really good.

>good/reliable/non expensive Pick two. I know a good mechanic, but he charges what you would expect for good quality work.

To get the best answers you might want to give more details. What kind of work do you need done? What model vehicle?

I've always had great service from these guys (near Ranchmans / Shanks South): http://www.southproauto.ca/

Been using Chetlin Auto on McLeod since the owner ran Esso in Britannia. Almost 22 years now. Fantastic and honest guy. He has worked on all my family's cars.

If you don't mind taking it to somewhere in the NW. Hawkwood auto is a small 5 bay shop and the owner has always been very trustworthy and won't over diagnose things to run the bill up. Steve Walsh is his name. https://www.facebook.com/HawkwoodAutoService/

OK tire in the NW. Great service, honest people.

I like A&R Automotive in Inglewood. http://www.arautomotive.ca/

I always recommend [Shawnee Minute Muffler](https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Shawnee+Minute+Muffler/@50.9234318,-114.0727273,15 z/data=!4 m5!3 m4!1 s0 x0:0 x489 b86 c45 f8176 dc!8 m2!3 d50.9234318!4 d-114.0727273) at Bannister Rd and MacLeod Trail South (same plaza as the Passport office). Easy bridge over the tracks to the Ctrain if that is necessary. Geoff runs that shop, does all general work (other than tires) and I trust him completely.

I've had good experiences with these guys. http://www.alltranauto.com/

South Pro on Horton Rd. SW. Amazing work, even better prices

There's really only two ways a mechanic (assuming it's the first time he's seen the car) can tell if you have a coolant leak. One is that he saw it leaking/saw coolant on the ground under the car (obviously). Two, he could have just been commenting that the level was abnormally low. Coolant should not need to be topped up/refilled very often, because it doesn't really get "used up". Depending on how old the vehicle is, and how often you check the levels, that could mean a leak. Check the level once a week for the next few weeks, and maybe once a month after that. (Try and check it when it's approximately the same temperature outside, as it will expand/contract with heat). If you need to refill it/top it up in the next few months, you have a leak, otherwise you're probably fine.

41 st auto. Don is trustworthy and reasonable.

I've been extremely impressed with [Ray's Auto Service](https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Ray's+Auto+Service/@51.0840497,-114.0103783,125 m/data=!3 m1!1 e3!4 m5!3 m4!1 s0 x537164 e3 fde1293 b:0 x1 dfd336 a0 d342 f4!8 m2!3 d51.0842018!4 d-114.010309), 19 St and 35 Ave NE.

minute muffler on 32 nd. I took my car to a local dealership and was told one thing. I told minute muffler what the dealership told me, they put it on the hoist and tested for what was wrong and it was completely different then what the dealership had said. saved myself over $500 bucks

Extra Tech in the SE just off 50 th and Blackfoot. I’ve always had good experiences with them. My parents have used them for their fleet vehicles for 20 years and have nothing but praise for them.

The fact that you think a small coolant leak means your engine temps will fluctuate shows that you’re probably not the right person to be questioning the legitimacy of the mechanics claims.

Happy to recommend Andy's Mechanical! [https://www.yelp.ca/biz/andys-mechanical-services-calgary](https://www.yelp.ca/biz/andys-mechanical-services-calgary)

I always just go to Mr Lube on Bow Trail, always do a good job for me.

Go see Kevin at Brake Check on 16 th Avenue and around 2 nd St NW - Not sure if they do an oil change but there is a Mr. Lube right there too - I've gone there a few times over the years and they've always been a reasonable price and never done me wrong.

Lyle Higgins garage ;) I heard he serves beer too:-p

Amsoil fan? Any reputable shop should be fine with this. I’ve had no problems.

Most dealerships will allow you to bring your own oil. If you don't bring enough for the oil change, just note that they'll top up for you and charge you with the amount they used to top up. Just notify them that you will be bringing your own oil when making an appointment. They'll note it on the work order they create for you. They'll charge you for parts and labor, unless you bring a filter yourself as well. I worked for a Ford dealerhsip and lots of customers did this as it was cheaper to bring your own Synthetic Oil. Especially if you pick it up on sale. Also had this done at a Hyundai dealership when I went to get my oil change done.

Only way you will find this is with a backyard mechanic. No large shop is going to allow this. Not sure what kind of oil you have or want but there is very little difference between brands of oil. It all needs to be tested and has an API seal of approval that says the oil meets automotive manufacturers specifications

KIRKHAM AUTO on HORTON RD I bring my own oil and filter and never said anything (howeevr, I rarely go for just an oil change, I tack it onto whatever other issue I am in there for)

You won't save a lot. Even if you picked up your synthetic at half price, the lube shop is not going knock much off the oil change price.

Why not just go to a shop that carries the oil you want? Or do it yourself, most vehicles can be changed in 20 minutes or less

Thank you all for your suggestions! Seems the majority of people agree it’s either not allowed or frowned upon. Frankly, I’m not that worried about which type of oil it is, as long as it’s synthetic and 5 w30 grade. It’s easy enough to call around and confirm that’s the grade they use and then I should be good to go. If anyone has recommendations for places to get the oil change done, let me know! Preferably not dealership or places like Mr. Lube. Thanks again!

Maybe contact u-wrench? http://www.u-wrench.ca/default.htm#

I know you said you don’t want to do it yourself but if lifting the car is the reason you can also pick up a fluid extractor that pulls the oil out through the dipstick tube. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-manual-fluid-extractor-6-5-l-0283048 p.html

Nope won't happen. Same reason as why shops won't let you bring your own parts. Liability.

You have any friends with a garage and jack?
