I have a story, I will post what I have now on hands, and update once more information is available. My mother had her oil changed in CT. All good and well. She came there to get her brakes checked just over a month later - Canadian Tire found transmission fluid contamination in the brake...

Was browsing GPS's and found one I want, but if I buy it locally, I can only buy it from Canadian Tire. Guess what, they charge DOUBLE the price then on the manufacturers site. I'm looking for Magellan eXplorist. $149.99 on the manufacturers website, $299.99 at Canadian Tire. Tonight, I will go...

In this small town Canadian Tire they have the worst time getting employees. There has been no mechanics for more then a year. All auto work has been turned away. The tire shop is not much better. They have a small selection of tires to choose from. The real tire shops get most of the business...

The Crappy Defenders generally say they've survived the arrival of Costco and Walmart, so they are safe. Even CEO Steve Wetmore has been quoting Churchill, in anticipation of the coming onslaught: Canadian Tire: Fixing a flat | CanadianBusiness.com What do consumers think about the impending...

It's good to see some financial information that isn't distored by the Crappy Tire Defenders. It turns out that this "cash only" buy-out of Forzani wasn't really "cash only" after all. Crappy Tire's debt went up from $2.3 billion to $3.3 billion. There was assumed debt and transaction costs...

I've been working at my Canadian Tire for about 3 years (in October) and I only make $10/hour. Then, new guys who also start as part time, make at least $10.50/hour. Oh, it gets better. My store, we have about 30 employees. 15 of them, are old Korean Ladies who walk around with shopping...

Hi. There isn't a single "Q&A" thread, where the Crappy Tire people can post questions for consumers to answer. I keep seeing these kinds of questions scattered around this site, so I thought it would help if we had one place for them. For instance, "What are the top 20 retailers in Canada"...

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...

A common topic of discussion is CT's practice of requesting and recording personal information, before processing a return. The official web site on Returns, Refunds & Exchanges (Returns, Refunds & Exchanges | Canadian Tire) states: "Your name, residence address and phone number will be...

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...

I was changing upper and lower ball joints on our 04 ford ranger, so I thought I would purchase the parts at C.T. what a mistake. I got the parts home and one of the lower ball joints was missing the grease boot. Returned that and realized they had given me the wrong upper ball joint assembly as...

Hello, I will admit there is a problem with customers taking advantage of Canadian Tire. Returning products that are used claiming not to be used. Or claiming defective when not defective. Or dropping a vacuum down the stairs and claiming it defective. But while this does happen, there are also...

Three weeks ago I had my oil changed at CT here in my home town.Last week I was driving along and my car just stalled.I tried boosting it to no avail.I had it towed to the nearest service station(Petro Canada) to determine what was wrong.To my shock and horror the mechanic told me my engine...

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...

I bought a brand new coffee maker today, the plaque on the shelf, in front of the display unit said "removable coffee filter included". it even had 1 in the display unit. I bought it, brought it home, and guess what. . . .no filter. I went back to the store to sort it out, and they gave me a...

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...
