I recently (Aug 16th/11) took my 2004 Infiniti G35 in to Canadian Tire on Douglas Street in Victoria, B.C. so it could be checked out for both Provincial and Federal Inspections. I purchased the vehicle from the USA and in order to have it legally registered in B.C. I had no choice but to go...

The store at Bath Road / Kingston is a filthy disgrace. Not only is it disorganized and cluttered, there is a certain disgusting odour in the air in the east side of the store, and apart from the front-line staff, employees are spoiled, careless and ignorant. The automotive and garden...

Heres the events. I went in to have a new rim put on a tire and my alignment looked at, everything was great aside from those 2 spots, my car stared up beautifully and it was smooth. I gt my car back after service, and not only is my battery all of a sudden dead, but it even looked different...

I built a new engine with my truck, I replaced the water pump with one bought from canadian tire. The water pump failed after two days and in the process milled 4-5mm off the engine block water pump cavity. I've received quotes ranging from 5000-7000$ to have the damage repaired. Now the...

Got a quote from the automotive departement for my car. Ended up more $$$$ and they refused to honor their quote! I will never go back there.

The threads on Canadian Tire batteries are very popular, especially when it comes to warranty issues. To get things started, I don't think people realize that the following thread is about batteries: https://www.canadiantiresucks.net/personal-stories/33-when-warranty-isn-t-warranty.html

I took my car in yesterday to get my powersteering line repaired from a leak as well as get an oil change and fix the front driverside headlight and get a new tire for the from passanger side since it was leaking. I also asked for them to add freon for the AC while they were at it. The guy...

It comes as a shock to say this, but we now know about another Canadian Tire policy that is even more despicable than the dreaded “Repair Only” policy. (If you’ve been following this site, you may be aware that CT designates some products as having a “Repair Only Warranty”, and that these are...

Anyone who had same experience, please come forward. We need to stand together and fight against the monster. Here is what happened. I recently CT Pit Stop to get a quick oil/filter change. A young mechanic checked my transmission oil and said it needed to be flushed. I declined and I just had...

Motomaster tires sold and fixed by canadian tire are the worst tires on earth. They are worse than useless. Motomaster tires will be worn out in just 1 year by running just 5000 kms only. I strongly advise that nobody on this earth should buy these f----in tires from this f-----in canadain tire.

Just thought I would share an experience I had today with you guys, could why some employees are the way they are. Today I was working and I had by far the rudest customer ever. Now im not saying all customers are bad, many of them are very kind and treat me with dignity and respect. I was...

I'm a bit surprised that this place is still in business. They already cut down their hours for about half the week. Things are often out of stock, sometimes permanently. I went in there once to buy a vacuum that I saw online and there was only one left, but it looked like it had been...

My Daughter brought her car into Canadian Tire Monday Dec 13/2010 because her front end was smoking and she wasn't getting any heat in her car. They hoisted her car up, gave her an oil change and told her there might be a clog in her thermostate. She took the car home and on Wednesday it...

Does anyone know of a "Winter Tire Policy" at Crappy Tire? Today I tried to purchase and install 2 Winter Tires (Hankook) from CT Eglinton, Scarborough. I already had 2 new Winter Tires (Nexxen) purchased and installed at Walmart in 2009. The parts guy wrote 4 tires on the slip of paper, at...

Stay away from Sarnia C.T automotive service .The Service Manager is a absolute idiot.It takes a hour or more for a oil change and when you finally get your car back they try to sell you hundreds of dollars worth of repairs

I needed 4 new tires so the first place I thought off was Canadian tire. I asked for the all season radials CT brand tires. First problem was this store only had 3 tires of this kind and it would be 2 weeks before he could get the forth one. Second problem I ran into was I knew nothing of...

Well, I'm paraphrasing, but check it out at Canadian Tire chief shuffles management, tells employees to shape up - thestar.com "We have to improve our performance", said Wetmore. The article describes "a commitment to better serve customers of its stores, particularly in its lagging automotive...

Many consumers are unaware of the "Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code" (also known as the "Scanning Code of Practice"). Several store chains in Canada (including Canadian Tire) have agreed to abide by the following code: - If the scanned price is higher than the "correct" prices (i.e., the...

After a few days of reading the forums I decided to chime in with my $0.02 plus tax Seems to me I've read the same complaints over and over again, twisted and typed different ways, with no real substance. So allow me to lay a few things out on the table 1) Most of CT's products are Chinese...

I am sure that this happens time and time again. I bought an item, and a few days later decided that I didn't want it. Decided to return the unopened item, though stalling for 2 weeks since I have 90 days to return and all. Get to the store... "repair only" no return... excuse me? It says so...
