Thread: Canadian Tire Sucks at Auto Repairs - Unnecessary, over-priced, incompetent, incorrect and incomplete!

Tony G.: Stay away from Canadian Tire Auto Service at Main Street in North Vancouver, B.C.! Incompetent mechanics, a so called service manager that is even worse. They recommend all sorts of unnecessary extra work, and after agreeing to do the extra work they came up with damage that was done after they last worked on my vehicle. Finally after I told them I want my truck back with no more work to be done, the service manager pipes up stating that they do not feel comfortable continuing the job. This was all after I simply asked them to change from the brake pads and a power steering pump. USELESS!

Norm M.: Canadian Tire mechanics are paid flat rate which means, the more work they repair, the more the mechanic earns. Once the car is on the hoist, routine things such as a brake job may easily become a suspension job and the customer is charged for the labour of replacement of parts that may already be off the car. It's sort of similar to double dipping, yet they follow a prescribed labour rate so it seems they not overcharging. Yet even novice mechanics repair faster than the book rate. Mechanics often prosper by "finding" things wrong and sometimes it's not uncommon for good parts to be replaced long before they need replacing.

Santa G.: Most expensive auto repair center in Canada ..never go there..

Seriously? This mechanic/technician/drop-out needs to find a different sector to work in:


John N.: ah Canadian Tire, the place where y wife took her car and the guy there said she was giving him skin cancer due to her bad catalytic convertor

John D.: I agree have not had a good experience with car repairs in two different stores. But do purchase other products there. Won't take car to any of canadian tire stores.



John D.: I did that and it took over 9 months to get any refund... as for car repairs never again. I will not even recommend repairs being done for anybody. I think you need better mechanics as well as better customer relations in the Auto repair departments.

Dana C: CT wanted to charge me 450.00 to replace my rear shocks.. I laughed.. then asked how long it would take.. they said 3 hours. I laughed again and left.. Went somewhere where I got it down for 260 which includes alignment and it only took 1.5 hours.. Your such a scam company it makes me sick.

Trevor L.: The canadian tire in scarborough on Rylander has the worst customer service I have ever seen. Huge waste of time this morning they really need to work on their communication skills. I ave been a long time customer of the automotive department with my 2 cars and will be no more! Good job on losing another customer Canadian Tire. Do not ever go to the rylander location in scarborough for your car if you want to be treated properly!
