    Price Matching CT Waterloo Ontario

    I think it is strange that when I asked to price match they wanted my name and phone number for a binder. They would not price match my item (found it at Oakville Rona for 20 less). They said I needed a local flyer (paper) with the item in it. I asked corporate about this and was told that...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at: Pre-Sales Customer Service - Where are they? Can't They Help?

    There are an awful lot of stories on this site and others that describe the terrible experiences of customers trying to get help in Canadian Tire stores, even BEFORE they buy something. To get the thread rolling, here's an interesting blog. It's a couple of years old, but it's still true today...

    Sign at the Customer Service desk

    Waiting in line at the customer "service" desk, my spidersence kicked in when I saw the paper posted to the back of a computer screen for customers to read: "your conversation will be recorded . . ." (I forget the rest, something about abuse, or maybe everyone's "protection") I realize now that...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Oil Changes - Overpriced, Incompetent, Incomplete, Damage, etc.

    This is yet another area in which Canadian Tire excels ... at sucking, that is. I was inspired by this post on the Mapleview thread: https://www.canadiantiresucks.net/canadian-tire-75-mapleview-dr-w-barrie/909-need-oil-change-maintenance-avoid-mapleview-dr-barrie-location.html Here's what...

    Need an oil change or maintenance? AVOID MAPLEVIEW DR. BARRIE LOCATION

    I just got back from having an oil change done at the Mapleview Dr. Canadian Tire location. After waiting over an hour to have the change done in an EMPTY garage and signing what I assumed would be the price I would pay, I was shown the bill that was around $15 more than the price agreed upon...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Sales - Not Enough Stock - Bait & Switch?

    A common complaint across the country is that Canadian Tire stores advertise items at attractive sale prices, but those stores don't carry sufficient stock. People come for the sale items, but the can't get any. They might be tempted to just buy a similar item at a higher price. And while...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Bicycles - Can't return once assembled, won't stand behind them

    This has been on my mind for a while, and with spring hopefully making an appearance in a few months, we can all help get the word out early! This was posted on Canadian Tire's own Facebook page, on this warm-for-mid-January night (only -5!): Jim Hiebert: Watch out for Canadian Tire! I bought...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Tires - Stock, Sales, Installation, Service, Warranties, Online, Etc.

    It's ironic that a familiar store with the word 'tire' right in its name would do so poorly at stocking, selling, installing, servicing and providing warranties for its name-sake product. Yet their gradual decline in the automotive field is well-known, despite their recent attempts to reverse...

We discovered right away the annoying squeaky sound from the rear tire when we tried it out for about 1 hour...

    My "as-is" experience

    Just want to share my email sent to head office: " Today I was shopping at your Kingsway and Gladstone store in Vancouver and received the worst case of customer service to date. I was looking at a palate of clearance exercise benches all of which were open boxes. As any customer would do I...

    I think their stores don't actually want you to shop there!!

    I just purchased 2 items in a Canadian Tire in one city and tried to return them in a different city. Seems simple enough right? According to the return policy on the receipt and posted on the wall at the store I was going to get my refund in the same method that I paid... Right?? WRONG...
