We cannot imagine what this family is going through right now. Please keep your eyes peeled for Parker.

🖨️ DOWNLOADABLE POSTER - MISSING CHILD – PARKER 🖨️

We remain grateful for the tremendous community support we have received & ask for Calgarians continued help to find and bring Parker home.

🖨️ A downloadable copy of Parker's missing person poster is available at the links below. Please consider sharing it with your family, friends, neighbours, workplaces & community groups to help expand our reach & keep Parker's photo visible throughout Calgary & surrounding areas.

‼️ We want to stress that police & trained search teams are actively conducting coordinated search operations based on investigative information & search-management principles.

Given the heat & the inherent risks associated with searching, there is a significant possibility that large groups of well-intentioned volunteers without search-&-rescue training may require assistance themselves. Any situation requiring police, EMS or search personnel to respond to volunteer safety concerns would divert critical resources away from the ongoing effort to locate Parker.

We respectfully ask that if Calgarians do choose to search, do not interrupt or interfere with police operations, trained search teams or organized search efforts already underway. We also ask that community-led search activities avoid areas where official searches are taking place & do not create situations that require police or search personnel to redirect resources from ongoing operations.

Remain mindful of the heat, ongoing operations, do not enter private property without permission & report any information or sightings to police immediately.

‼️ Additionally, there is limited parking available in the area. We ask community members not to park near active search operations & to ensure access routes remain clear for police, emergency vehicles & search teams.

🔎 If you choose to assist with search efforts, we ask that you do so safely & check your own property thoroughly, including garages, sheds, backyards, under decks, inside play structures & other areas where a child may seek shelter or hide.

🔎 If sharing information online, please do not post unconfirmed sightings. Report any information directly to police so investigators can assess it quickly.

Every person looking out can make a difference. Whether you're checking your property, sharing Parker's poster or reporting potential information, your help is appreciated.

☎️ If you see Parker or have information about his whereabouts, call police immediately at 403-266-1234. If the sighting is occurring in real time, call 911.

🚗🎵 Is your car suddenly making a sound you’ve never heard before?

A squeak, rattle, clunk, or grinding noise is your vehicle’s way of letting you know something needs attention. The sooner it’s checked, the better your chances of preventing a bigger (and more expensive) repair down the road.

The good news? Not every strange noise means the worst. Sometimes it’s a simple fix, and we’re here to help you figure it out.

At Lads Auto, we believe in honest advice, clear communication, and treating every customer like family. We’ll take the time to explain what we find so you can feel confident about your next steps. 💙

Don’t ignore those funny sounds. Bring your vehicle in, and let’s get you back to enjoying a quiet, smooth ride.

🔧 “Can’t you just replace the part?”

It’s one of the most common questions we hear, and it’s a fair one!

The thing is, many vehicle problems can have the same symptoms. A warning light or unusual noise doesn’t always mean the same repair is needed. That’s why we start with a proper diagnosis. It helps us find the real issue so we can recommend the right repair the first time.

We know vehicle repairs can feel overwhelming, which is why we believe in taking the time to explain what we find and answer your questions along the way. No pressure. No guessing. Just honest advice from a team that genuinely cares.

That’s what being family-owned means to us. ❤️

If your vehicle isn’t driving quite like it should, we’d love to help. Give us a call or book your appointment online, and we’ll treat your vehicle like it’s one of our own.

🔧😂 Every mechanic knows this pose.

The lift goes up… the hands go in the pockets… and then comes the very important professional staring. 👀

It might look like we’re just admiring your vehicle, but here’s what’s really happening:

🛠️ Looking for leaks.
🛞 Checking suspension and steering components.
🔩 Spotting worn parts before they become expensive problems.
✅ Making sure your vehicle is safe for the road.

Sometimes the biggest issues are easiest to catch when your vehicle is up in the air.

So yes… the stance is mandatory. The inspection is serious. 😎

Happy Friday from the team at Lads Auto! If your vehicle has been trying to tell you something lately, let us take a look before a small repair turns into a big one.

⚡ Think owning an EV means you can skip maintenance? Not quite.

While electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles, they still need regular inspections to keep everything running safely and efficiently. From brakes and suspension to tires, battery health, and software updates, a little preventative maintenance today can save you from bigger headaches tomorrow.

At LADS Auto, we stay up to date with EV technology, so you can drive with confidence knowing your vehicle is getting the care it deserves. Whether it’s your first EV or your fifth, we’ve got you covered. After all, the only surprise you should get from your EV is how quiet it is… not an unexpected repair bill. 😉

📞 Ready to keep your EV performing at its best? Give us a call today or book your appointment online. We’d love to help keep you on the road.
