Canadian Tire Home Installation (Ontario) does garage door openers, heating and cooling installations. We did the garage door installation. People, DON'T USE THEM. Run away! The garage door installation is hanging by an extension cord. Whaaaa? Now we need an electrician to complete the work...

Having to show your receipt before you can leave a store sucks. If you saw me steal something, just tell me and we'll call the cops. If not, get the #&(( out of my way. Alarms buzzing when leaving a store; I can't believe how people will look sheepish and offer their bags up for inspection like...

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...

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...

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...

CT seems to have certain brand name items that you can't get anywhere else. For example, I have found Bauer and Easton hockey gear that nobody else sells, like Bauer "Supreme Pro" and Easton "Synergy Extreme". These seem to be unique lines, which makes finding consumer reviews difficult...

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...

I worked at the #304 shop for my 1st and half of 2nd year apprenticeship. I have seen countless amount of bullshit during the time I worked there, but I will just give out a few examples. A customer had a concern about his heater not blowing hot. I looked at the vehicles and determined that...

There certainly are a lot of complaints about automotive repairs at Crappy Tire stores. This thread can be a place to collect the many stores of unnecessary repairs and over-charging. As well there are stories of incompetence, and also incorrect and incomplete repairs. For stories about tire...

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...

I wanted to rename the other "CT facebook" thread, but it looks like I can't do it. So, I'll just start posting on a new thread. The old thread with the litany of recent complaints is still here...

I'm interested in hearing other employees situations and what it is like to work at other stores. Are they all the same? Does your store operate the same as this one? ........ We have to buy our own pens (even the ones the customers have to use to sign their credit card receipts). Trying to...

I went to CT at Dundas and 403 to have my breaks fixed.. Seemed like the pads had to be replaced as could hear the griding noise... Left the car with them and they called me back, send me a 2 page estimate in the email to fix my breakes for $1200. Had to replace this and that and full system and...

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...

I bought drill bit set 22 years ago 1989, and still have the receipt which I was told at the time was my warranty for these "lifetime" bits. Since then I think I returned bits for warranty twice, with 1st time no issues, 2nd time minor issues, but this evening I was told No way were these...

CTC used to say it's warranty on tools is "forever" but forever now has a time limit or at least it requires a receipt. No more replacements without a receipt. Now who keep receipts for their tools for years??? Are they mental? You'd think the fact you present them a broken part would be...
