    Winter Tire Fiasco

    Hi, I'm new here and the following is my recent experience with Canadian Tire that has me spending my $$ elsewhere. In mid November I decided to purchase winter rims and tires for my wife's Pontiac Vibe. I looked around at some of the "exclusive tire" retailers and was disappointed with the...

    Winter Tire Policy??? Tried to Buy and Install 2, was told I had to buy 4?

    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...

    Can't return anything

    I had the worst experience trying to return anything especially at this Canadian Tire location. They go out of their ways to tell you why they wouldn't be able to return the product. Now the latest excuse is that the product has to be in its original, "unopened" package. I have never heard of...

    Thank you DavidLeR for your reply, very much appreciated. As you suggested I contacted the "Consumer Contact Centre". They said that the only way I would be able to return the equipment would be through the Small Claims Court. But before I did my last call to the CT Customer Service...

    Auto Service

    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

    Exploited Workers At Brampton Distribution Centre

    Canadian tire is a Canadian owned and operated company if I am correct. WHY DO THEY CHOOSE TO EXPLOIT THEIR OWN CITIZENS? Let me tell you why, Candian Tire Distribution Centre only provides work to employees registered to an agency. This agency is called Adecco. Adecco finds employees for...

    Tire fiasco

    I took my car to a Canadian Tire Shop and had a tire installed. When I came to pick up the car, Doug handed me a lug nut and said that it was damaged when they removed it and they did not have a replacement in stock. I work in a garage so I told them that it was "no problem" because I could...

    Everyone should know this

    This is from the APA (Automobile Protection Association) website. It has also been featured on W5. The Canadian Tire store on Macloed Trail South in Calgary actually ruined a perfectly good part in front of the APA's hidden camera, and presented a bill of $620. APA.ca Buyer beware, indeed.

    Unacceptable service

    I had these guys do a wheel alignment for me. Alignment seems OK. However, the service order says I must re-torque the lug nuts after 50 kms. So, I went to do that, and found one lug nut cross threaded. The lug nut is jammed about 1/4" away from the wheel, and I can't tighten or loosen it...

    Sale of Goods Act

    Has anybody heard of this before? I came across this on Ellen Roseman's "On Your Side" blog (here: Your right to a refund, credit or exchange | Ellen Roseman). Apparently, "the Sale of Goods Act says that merchandise must be fit for the intended purpose". Basically, if you buy something, then...

    Customers expect employees to know everything!

    Employees would need several University Degrees to know about all the products being sold in the stores. Canadian Tire does not employ professional trades ie. plumbers/electrians etc. They hire people, give them no training (learn as you go) and customers think employees should know...
