    Kanata CT Ripoff Attempt

    My muffler was on the verge of falling off due to rusted hinges, so I decided to go to CT because it was the only place that could do it after 6 PM. Thus, I didn't have to take time off work. Suddenly the putting on hinges turned into the catalytic converter and its flange being rusted through...

    I used to be a defender

    I used to love my job, I took passion in learning about different and new produts in the store, even stuff outside of my department I preferred it that when I got a compliment I would get something out of it but the new pins system is okay, I guess. I even hung out with a lot of people from work...

    Return Policies: Do Customers Want More Restrictions, or More Options

    Some of the other threads are getting clogged up with claims from The S-Angria-Troll, that consumers themselves don't actually want retailers to take things back, if the customer is genuinely unsatisfied with a product (that doesn't suit their needs, is too noisy, was poorly designed, doesn't...

    It took their automotive service centre 5 weeks to fix my timing belt and replace my cylinders. The invoice said they only performed 7 man hours of work on my car.

    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...

    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...

    G'day

    Hello, as with everyone here, I've had an inexcusably bad experience at CT. In my case, trying to return defective goods. The clerks were treating me like a liar and a theif. I had to phone customer service on my cell while standing in front of the assistant "manager" while he was texting his...

    Bait and Switch

    Last weeks flyer (week of Feb 4) listed a 29 LED shop work light on sale for $14.95. Magnetic base, hanging strong wire cable, a nice unit. Dropped in to get it, as I now refuse to go to the Napanee store, to find NO STOCK, but instead they had an end isle display of a 17 LED work light on sale...

    One again CTC Napanee doesn't carry items on sale.

    In this weeks flyer an LED work light on sale for $14.95 is not available and not carried by the CTC store in Napanee. Once again they just shrug their shoulders and don't care.

    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...

    Defective Air Nailer Canadian Tire Won't Refund

    We tried to return an air nailer that has never been used. Why has it never been used, because it does not work. When we went to return it, we were told it must be taken to a repair shop. What a stupid deal. Return a brand new tool to a repair shop, and DO NOT RETURN TO STORE!! What is that...

    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...
