Went to their Auto Service because my tire was "humming". Was given a quote of $2700 for both front bearings, tie rods, front rotors and rear breaks. They said my vehicle would be very dangerous to drive without having ALL of the work done. I said forget it and got a second opinion from a family-owned garage recommended by a friend (Westview Auto). Tie rods were fine, only one bearing needed replaced, and back breaks/rotors are at 25% so they're fine for another few months. $500 total.

Don't go to Canadian Tire Auto Service!!!!

I have to say I will never shop at the Fort Road Store ever. I needed a turn single light bulb put into my mini van.Well they wanted $35.00 to put in a simple bulb.To top it off I had to buy a 2 pack of bulbs and they gave me the wrong one's.So I took my mini van to R.R.Automotive out in the Evergreen Mobile Home Park.He sold me the correct bulb and installed it for me at no charge.Canadian Tire said it would take a half hour of labor.In fact it to R.R less then 5 minutes to install the bulb.I now take my mini van only to R.R Automotive for anything I need done on my mini van. This is a great shop and are very fair priced for everything.

This reads kind of like an advertisement for R.R. Automotive in the Evergreen Mobile Home Park, Edmonton, with great service, low prices and plenty of free parking.

On the other hand, it's good to know there are alternatives to the CT rip-off place.

I've noticed these over-priced bulbs, too, where you can't just buy 1, so you as stuck with a second over-priced bulb that you won't need for years.

Not Free advertisement as this guy was very honest to only charge me the price of the bulb.Nothing to out it in.And yes this guy has done a lot of good work an d a much lower price as he only uses Genuine Dealer Parts.They cost more but you know you know he will guarantee the part if there is a problem.And to me that's worth paying a bit more for the right part.As I don't know how many times I had to take a part I got from Canadian Tire that did not fit or work.Believe me a lot.

This is the worst store in edmonton and their service sucks big time. I will never, ever walk through their doors again and i suggest people before you purchase anything from canadian tire you research thoroughly the warranty and returns. I purchased a $600.00 portable air conditioner and it worked for 2 weeks then quit. When i went to canadian tire they pretty well said too bad, so sad and give me a phone number in winnipeg to call. Crap crap crap and shame, shame, shame on you.

Good for you. This store does suck and i am with you. I will never ever shop their again.
