    "Repair Only Warranty" - No Refund, No Exchange

    A Canadian Tire policy that seems to cause a large number of complaints is their “Repair Only Warranty”. The name doesn’t sound so bad. It seems like it’s only telling you something about the manufacturer’s warranty. After all, how could a “Repair Only Warranty” doesn't sound a whole lot...

    I'm one of those "Bad" Canadian Tire Employees

    Yes I am, and I'm proud of it. This corporation is dispicable with its employees. However I'm sure I won't be working there much longer as now that Christmas and Boxing day is over and they've made a good bulk of their money from our hard work It's quite logical they should now cut back all our...

    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...

    Getting Free Stuff From CTC - Legally!

    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...

    So You Think Canadian Tire is........

    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...

    Stupid return policy to hide employee theft?

    According to Mr.CT Manager his customers are all potential fraudsters to justify the stupid invasion of privacy for returns and exchanges. He goes on and on about how bad his experiences are and how many times he's caught them with fraud. Any study on the break down of his customer base? Age...

    Motomaster Eliminator Life time Guarantee

    Back in 88 or 89 I believe it was, Canadian tire offered a life time warrantee on their Motomaster Eliminator battery. There were no conditions (that I remember) such as "as long as you own the car", in fact I bought the battery over the shelf and did the installation myself , so there is not...

    Store Credit

    Anyone heard of the store policy change? I don't know if this is specific to the Chilliwack store only, or all Canadian tires, but it seems that if you now take something back, even if the product is clearly defective, you will be given a choice of taking an exchange (does not need to be the...

I now have 205 Kms. on it and a failed attempt at an ATV 2000 super winch which I threw in the bush. In the...

    Questions and suggestions for the customers!

    I work at a CT part-time and while you may joke all you want about the employees and the store (I've heard it all), it just so happens that most customers, probably the ones who post on this site, and either incredibly dumb, lazy or just plain retarded. Everyday I bombared with moronic...

    Canadian Tire Napanee

    I just returned from yet another lovely experience in the Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC) store in Napanee and I thought I‘d share. We had some shopping to do and I needed some cleaning items so I thought I’d go to CTC rather than anywhere else... big mistake. I only needed 3 things, which I...
