    Job Application

    Well, I came across this board while looking to make a official complaint to Canadian Tire head office but since they apparently don't have a means of doing so I'll vent here. I work 9-5 but I am desperately in need of evening and weekend employment. There is a Canadian Tire right across the...

    consumer relations and suggestions

    I have worked at a CT for 5 years now in western Canada, and I have seen the good service and the crappy. I musy say, the store I work at is quite good at honoring and correcting customer complaints regarding price discrepancies, flyer stock being in stock, rainchecks honored months after...

    Hello to everyone ... its about tires ..

    Hello to everyone from BC: The administrator of this site assures me the software they use to run it is top notch and that only the users are faulty. Lets agree to disagree for now. As you can see I am a bit out of sorts, because for me, it is all about tires. 2 March, 2013 I live in...

    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.

    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...

    G'day

    Can I assume Canadian Tire has taken over this site?

    Posts are being moderated and there is nothing new since 2010? Why not just remove the site from the Internet. This makes C-T look really, really bad. I hope this is just someone else trying to make C-T look bad. That's jackhole behavior. If C-T deserves to be publicly burned, so be it. If...

    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...

    My "as-is" experience

    Canadian Tire Cheats Generous Canadians Who Donate to Charities (Jumpstart)

    I'm sure Jumpstart does some good work. But that's no excuse for Canadian Tire to steal the tax credits of the generous Canadians who donate. And after they steal the tax credits, they also steal the credit for the whole donation! Have they no shame at all? I don't approve of vulgarity...

    Crappy Tire, Marlborough Calgary AB- Another example of why CTire SUCKS!

    My mother in law went into the store and was looking for a Rival portable oven. We bought one a while ago and she wanted to purchase one as well. They didn't have the one they were looking for, the one in stock was 15qts, the one she was looking for was 18qts. Anyhow, she went and found an...

    Battery Problems

    Simply put, I bought a battery for a motorcycle. It lasted only a few months so I took it back to CTC in Kingston (I had the bill) and complained about its poor performance and stated I wanted a replacement. I was told they'd have to test it and it would cost me etc etc. I said that's up to you...

    CBS reported on a recent Leger Marketing survey and on 'secret shopper' reviews of customer service in Canadian retailers. It was a close, three-way race for last place, between Canadian Tire, Zellers and Walmart. In the end, Canadian Tire sucked more than every other major Canadian retailer...

    Too short a time before you are logged out.

    Wow, I just spent 10 minutes typing my first thread, then went to submit it only to find that I had taken too long and had been logged out. My message was lost and I am way too pissed off to start all over again. What's your time out limit?
