Street Machines Weekend took over Galt Park in Lethbridge on July 16, in what was likely Lethbridge's biggest automotive event of the year! Participants flocked from all over Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan and even the United States, to showcase their vehicles in this renowned event!

Street Machines Weekend, put on by the Street Wheelers Car Club is a popular annual event that celebrates the automotive culture in Lethbridge. It typically takes place on a weekend in mid-July, attracting car enthusiasts and collectors from all walks of life. The event showcases a wide variety of classic cars, vintage vehicles, custom builds, and modern sports cars, creating a vibrant and diverse display of automobiles.

During Street Machines Weekend, attendees can expect various activities and attractions, including the annual show & shine in Galt Park, which we were thrilled to be a part of!

At our booth, we gave away a $500 service gift card to our brand new service department in Lethbridge, as well as a bunch of free merchandise! We also displayed two beautiful Audi R8s at our booth! It was incredible to see so many people come out for the event and the community spirit Street Machines Weekend evokes!

House of Cars proudly sponsored Hull Services' annual Stampede breakfast, which has been taking place for the last 30+ years! The event acts as a great way for community members to connect and learn about the child & youth mentoring and mental health services the organization offers. Our team has proudly supported Hull Services for the past 5+ years and it was great to be a part of this annual event once again!

Hull Services has established a longstanding reputation for delivering cutting-edge child, youth, and family mental health services.

House of Cars recently sponsored, and took part in, the annual Dads of the Deep South golf tournament at the Cottonwood Golf & Country Club.

The annual event sees teams of four compete in a best-ball Texas-scramble style event. House of Cars took part in the event as the official hole #10 sponsor and we brought along two-time Canadian long-drive champion, Curtis Urniezius, to drive participants' balls down the green for a charitable donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Participants came by the House of Cars tent to enter to win a $500 detailing gift certificate to MY Auto, a local Calgary detailing, paint protection and ceramic coating shop in Calgary's South-East.

House of Cars is proud to announce the fundraising total for the 10th Annual Racing For A Cure event in Edmonton, AB!

As this year's title sponsor, we are extremely inspired to see Albertans come together to support the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation and the deserving kids receiving treatment. Racing For A Cure 2023 raised an impressive $477,078.77 to support Alberta kids undergoing medical treatment, and supporting their families through difficult times.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital hosts the only pediatric emergency centre in northern Alberta. It is also the primary referral centre for all complex pediatric heart surgeries and transplants and is home to Canada’s largest regional program for neonatal intensive and intermediate care. The hospital provides some of the most advanced treatments for child-health issues in the country. Through donor support, the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation continues to give the sickest kids the best chance to live a long and healthy life.

The two-day Racing For A Cure event is put on for the kids. We saw over 350 kids from the Stollery Children's Hospital come out for a day of fun, cars and incredible support from the community. Over 80 individuals donated their cars, their time and smiles to some incredibly deserving kids. The funds raised from this event will be put to great use and we're thrilled to be a part of the success of this world-class event!

Over the event's 10-year history, the organizers have raised a total of $4,077,000 to support various Alberta charities.

House of Cars is excited to announce its sponsorship of #999 Izzy Bley for the 2023 AMSA Offroad Racing season!
Izzy is an accomplished Ladies-Junior racer and has been involved with dirtbikes since she was eight years old; racing cross-country and hare-scrambles. For the past five years she’s been honing in on her skills and is looking forward to the season ahead!

Izzy describes herself as ultra-competitive and aspires to be just like Melissa Harten, an accomplished Canadian Offroad champion.
The first AMSA Offroad race of the year was held on May 13 and 14 in Alix, AB, and hosted a number of different racing classes, including Izzy’s group.

Saturday she raced in the Ladies Intermediate class, where she placed 2nd overall! This is not a class she typically races in, so this was a huge accomplishment in itself!

Sunday she raced Ladies Junior class and placed 1st! Way to go, Izzy!

We took the opportunity to call Izzy, while she was on the way to the first AMSA Offroad race of the season, to get some more information on the season ahead! We can’t wait to cheer Izzy on as she takes on this year’s racing season! She's already making us proud!

House of Cars is also a proud sponsor of the AMSA Offroad racing season!

Pre-Race Interview With Izzy Bley:

How old were you when you first started racing?
I was eight years old when I first started.

What inspired you to start racing in offroad racing, and how did you get started?
My family has been into racing for a while, so they got me interested in it. My brother races in a different class, and we both ride together a lot.

How competitive are you when it comes to racing?
I’m very competitive! I am really hard on myself because I want to be the best!

What is your favourite part about racing?
I love how it makes me feel. It’s very exciting and I get really nervous in the mornings, but it’s a lot of fun and I always look forward to it! I always have a lot of excitement on race days!

Can you walk us through a typical race day for you?
I typically wake up at 8 a.m., eat breakfast, get geared up and then head to the track. I help my mom out with ticket sales and getting the riders registered. Then usually I watch the other races and cheer everyone on. When it’s my turn, I start up my bike to let it warm up and then go for a warm up ride before we have our rider’s meeting.

Is there anyone who you idolized, growing up, who got you excited about racing?
Melissa Harten is someone who I look up to. She’s a Canadian champion and I really admire her and want to be like her.

What kind of training do you do to prepare for races?
I usually go to the track at least once a week to practice. I also usually go out to the mountains to ride at least twice a week and then I ride a few more times after school as well. I am usually practicing about 4-5 times a week.

With this being the first race of the season, how nervous or excited are you?
I’m really nervous. We’re going to Alix (AB) and I have neve raced there before. But I’m excited to go there and give it my all!

How do you balance school and other commitments with your racing schedule?
All my teachers know that I am very serious about racing, so they help me work it into my schedule. I sometimes have a makeup session in the evenings so I can catch up on school, but everyone is very supportive.

For our 2022 Christmas outreach campaign, the team at House of Cars launched Hope For The Holidays as a way to give back to the communities that have supported our growth over the years.

Through our website and social media channels, Albertans were given the opportunity to nominate a friend, coworker or neighbour who they felt could use a bit of an uplift this Christmas. From there the team at the House of Cars Foundation reviewed the submissions and hand-selected families whose stories stuck out as exceptional.

Raising funds from every car sold in the month of November, we were able to put together gift packages for over 20 Alberta families, with each package containing roughly $500 in gift cards.

We'd like to thank those who submitted nominations, and to the Alberta community that has trusted House of Cars for all their automotive needs since we first opened in 2012. It has been a pleasure serving Alberta and we firmly believe in giving back to the community that got us started in the first place.

Hope For The Holidays gifts were handed out to select families in Calgary, Airdrie, Edmonton, Leduc and Medicine Hat.

The recipients of the holiday gifts are:
Connor B
Angel R
Lindsay D
Jordan H
Courtney M
Primrose L
Christine D
Krystal D
Valarie H

House of Cars is proud to have participated in the twelfth annual Coats For Calgary coat drive, collecting warm, used, winter coats for Calgary's less fortunate.

With the help of generous Calgarians, we helped collect over 6000 jackets for Calgary’s less fortunate and had many other businesses and groups come on board this year to support the cause.

On Thursday, the Coats for Calgary Team delivered all the jackets to the Calgary Drop-In Centre and thanks to all of you, we’ll be making a significant impact on the lives of those that need it most. It couldn't have been a better time to drop them off with the cold snap that is coming to Calgary this weekend and the Calgary Drop-In's critical need for warm coats.

A huge thank you to all of you that helped collect and donated jackets of your own! You are an essential piece of Coats For Calgary and we’re beyond grateful for your help. Coats for Calgary has grown year over year and big things are to come for 2023! We're proud to have been able to support such an amazing organization again this year!

House of Cars is very excited to announce a new partnership with Racing For A Cure 2023!

The event, geared towards the kids, takes the form of a single-day car show fundraiser event in which sick kids have the opportunity to ride along in some very cool vehicles as well as soar above Edmonton in a helicopter, with show-goers having the opportunity to admire some incredible machinery!

House of Cars is a title sponsor of Racing For A Cure 2023 and will also be entering eight vehicles in the event. We're extremely excited to be supporting such a great cause!

This year's event will take place at the River Cree Resort & Casino in Edmonton, AB, on Saturday, June 17, 2023

The event is open to the public, with families attending for a full day of fun! In addition to over 100 sports cars and supercars on display, Racing For A Cure features bouncy houses, obstacle courses, climbing wall, reverse bungee jump, remote-control car races, face painters, balloon artists, food trucks, jet cars, police cars, helicopters, mascots and much more!

House Of Cars works with more than 20+ different lenders to provide automotive financing to our customers. We work hard to ensure your vehicle buying experience is as hassle-free as possible by providing you with unparalleled service with competitive finance rates.

With our exclusive credit rebuilding program, we can create a finance package that’s within your budget and tailored to your needs. When you purchase a vehicle from House of Cars, our team of finance experts will sit down with you and review your credit situation and will provide recommendations to help improve your credit and lower your payments over time. They'll send you home with a personalized plan, showing you exactly what you can do to get your credit score improving as early as your next credit card payment. We want to see you succeed, which is why we take the time to go over your personalized plan with you.

We often see our customers returning after a year or two to trade in their vehicle. When they come back, their credit situation is often a whole lot better and we can get them into an even better vehicle with a lower payment.

Our renowned Credit Rebuilding Program has been used by thousands of customers across Alberta. So once you’ve found the right financing option and started paying back what you owe in manageable installments, not only will you have easy access to the car that you want, but you’ll be building up and improving your credit score for the future!

As a result, we’re widely considered to be the very best place to buy a car with bad credit in all of Alberta. Visit one of our 12 Alberta stores or get in touch by phone or email today to learn more.

The best way to rebuild credit is to get yourself an installment loan. Some effective ways are through financing a vehicle or paying off a credit card. The key is to make your payments on time (this goes for phone and utility bills, as well). By being responsible with an installment loan on a vehicle, the credit bureau will keep track of your efforts and it will prove to the banks that you are trustworthy for future loans. Keep in mind, it takes both time and patience. Make a point to pay your bills on time, and you’ll quickly re-establish your credit.

Apply for financing here!

Nominate your neighbour, your coworker, family members or whoever you feel deserves a holiday uplift. There is no one-size-fits-all gift package. Our aim is to help families with whatever they need. Tell us their story and how we can help!

We're excited to announce that the official House of Cars promotional events and marketing vehicle is now ready to hit the streets! What better vehicle than an ambulance? We teamed up with MAXPO Graphics to bring our vision to life, and it turned out better than we ever could have imagined!

For the 2023 calendar year, we're planning on bringing the ambulance out to plenty of events, as well as using it for a few fun contests and promotions. Stay tuned!

We already brought the ambulance out to the Endorphin Garage open house and it was a huge hit! The ambulance also regularly makes its rounds around Calgary. But we have so much more planned! We can't wait to use this branded House of Cars marketing-mobile in the years to come!

We're ecstatic to have been able to help out some amazing individuals and look forward to helping more Albertans in the future! Thank you to everyone who entered the contest!

Over the weekend we had the opportunity to sponsor a track day put on by Royal Rally, an automotive road rally company that puts on scavenger-hunt and poker-run style car rallies in Alberta and B.C. They hosted a private track day at Strawberry Creek Raceway, half an hour West of Edmonton, on Sunday, August 28 and this event did not disapoint!

The day featured open lapping around the 4km course, with tons of elevation changes and challenging sections of track. Drivers were given two pace laps around the track before they were unleashed for the rest of the day. Some drivers pushed their cars to their limits, recording track lap times in the ballpark of 2:15 - 2:30. For comparison, the fastest time set on the track is just under 2 minutes, so these drivers were pretty good! Participants were allowed as much, or as little, track time as they wanted.

The event featured Porsches, a Dodge Viper ACR, track-modified BMWs, a Mercedes-AMG GTR Pro, Audis, Mustangs and many more mouth-watering vehicles. The track day was open to anyone who wished to attend. Drivers could register for the track day on Royal Rally's website for a $320 fee, which included lunch and refreshments.

We're looking forward to being a part of these track days in the years to come!

House of Cars sponsored this year's GlobalFest Calgary event, full of fireworks, music, culture and so much more!

We'll be back at GlobalFest 2022 for the remainder of the festival!

We also entered hundreds of Calgarians for a chance to win a 70" Roku Smart TV and of course, enter in our Wipe Out Your Debt contest!

From October 15th to December 31st, House of Cars Calgary and Trellis Society Avenue 15 teamed up to ensure that children going through homelessness also felt joy, hope and Christmas cheer.  

What is Avenue 15 

Avenue 15 is a shelter for youth ages 12 to 17 experiencing homelessness due to many difficult situations. 

Among providing temporary shelter and basic needs, Avenue 15 also offers: 

• A comprehensive support system to help youth reunite with their families or find alternative living arrangements.
• Family mediation
• Support with school
• Employment 
• Money management 
• Recreation
• Healthy living and life skill development 

Assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling or by walk-in at any time.

A little about House of Cars

Our team has proudly donated towards community-building programs helping multiple families overcome hardships of all forms.

We see our involvement within our community as a responsibility, meaning our diligent work responding to social and economic needs is far from over.

We’re here to support our community when it’s needed most.

What was donated? 

Donation boxes were stationed at all of the House of Cars locations, where many generous Calgarians offered a variety of helpful and joy-inducing gifts:

• Shoes
• Clothes
• Outerwear 
• Giftcards
• Hygiene products 
• New unwrapped gifts 
• Sporting equipment 
• Art & school supplies 
• Family-friendly games & puzzles

100% of all proceeds were given to Avenue 15 to be fairly distributed to children in need during the holiday season. 

A special thanks

Honestly, Calgary. This effort would not have been successful without your big hearts. Together we helped make a difference for those experiencing unique trials and tribulations. 

A special thanks to all of those who extended a helping hand in any capacity. ?

How can you help, too!

The Christmas season may be over, but it isn’t too late to give a little or a lot (even a little goes a long way). Unfortunately, children experiencing hardships happen all year round. Click here to learn more. 

If you need a bit more time to help out, we’ll see you at any of our House of Cars Locations during the 2022 Christmas season! 

Thanks again, Calgary! Happy New Year!
