OMG THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME!

When I bought my Simoniz washer no one told me about the repair only BS. The stupid thing didn't turn on EXACTLY 90 days after I bought it. (After 90 days my warranty only covers labour and what not) Now I'm stuck having to bring it to their repair centers....

The worst part was CT had me lugging this giant thing around 3 times until telling me I would not get my money back and that repairs would be coming out of my pocket for parts. F*CK YOU CT!

approximately 4 months ago, as requested, i provided the defect and return rates from my store for Simoniz units. Now at the time you called me a liar

sorry - where's this post with verifyable proof of defect and return rates? can't find it - just the unsubstantiated claims of someone saying they own a store.

and where was the post that claimed that the verifiable proof on defect rates was a lie?

just curious ...
 
Great article. Great site. I would like to add to the over all view of Canadian Tire that everyone that has shopped their over the years realizes that the made in Canada content has gone way down. Example: They used to sell quality rope/line made rate here in Ontario by Bridgeline for a reasonable price and excellent quality but around 2006 they threw them out and went with the Chinese manufacture at the same time increasing the price considerably. This is one of many examples that CT has under taken. Their new Corporate identity is a glorified dollar store. Another contributor to the throw away society.

This post seems to sway towards suggesting Canadian Tire has killed manufacturing in Canada by sourcing other vendors?!

That post says out-right that Crappy Tire's "new Corporate identity is a glorified dollar store."

Because, if a Dollar Store sold pressure washers, they'd be as crappy as Simioniz.

And the tools would be as crappy as Jobmate.

And the outdoor and gardening equipment would be as crappy as Yard Works.

Crappy Tire wants to compete on price? So be it.

Manufacturing died in Canada and a lot in the US because of a global economy. Pretty hard to compete when other places in the world will gladly work for a lot less than 18.00 to 30.00 bucks an hour. And of course that dropped prices on most things at CTC, Walmart and Home Depot, et al. Since so many people bought these cheaper priced goods, the verdict was in---people WANTED cheaper pricing. Blame yourselves.

Don't forget the drive for profits.....shareholders, business owners, retirement funds. Capitalist country not socialist.
I, for one, like the system....work hard, make lots of dollars!

Don't forget scams and cheating.

No need to work hard, unless scamming your customers is hard work - wait, you hire people to do that, LOL!

Yeah, great system you've invented - not just Simonz Scam any more!

Lol.....fakers have nothing relevant to add when faced with common knowledge or FACTS! That's why they're fakers.

Ah, if only the Simoniz Scam were truly 'common knowledge', but consumers are still falling victim to it, as this site and others show.

But the consumers who post here are trying to get the word out!

And luckily, this is the most-read consumer thread on this site.

Remember, "Friends Don't Let Friends Do Business With Crappy Tire!"

Though I would check my pressure washer sales this year....98 units, including all electric Simonize models, Briggs and /Stratton gas, and Diamond gas, and Karcher electric and gas. Guess what? Only one return due to a defect (faulty carburetor)
I like the math!

First of all, there's no reason to think that the Crappy People who post so many lies here, would suddenly start telling the truth. See https://www.canadiantiresucks.net/g...y-do-ct-defenders-post-so-many-lies-here.html for a list of their usual lies, including many about these "repair only" products.

Secondly, if the Crappy People are for once not lying, why don't they post some sales figures and return rates that can be verified? Instead, all we get is unsubstantiated claims on this subject. Based on their history of being untrustworthy, there's no good reason that consumers, who've been betrayed by them so many times, should suddenly start believing them.

Plus, why lump together the "Simoniz" units with all the others? This thread is the Simoniz Scam, not the pressure washer scam. Was the one defective unit a Simonz? How many Simoniz were sold? We'll never know for sure, because the Crappy People will never offer proof.

More over, who among the cheated and mistreated consumers will actually care what a self-confessed owner/manager likes or dislikes? Naturally, a liar would like their own dubious and self-serving math, LOL!

Finally, it's unlikely that someone who actually sells many "Simoniz" units, can't even spell the name.

No, consumers need to know just how bad these units are, and the trap the Crapp People have laid out for them.

Nice try, Crappy Tire Liar, but you've got no credibility in the stores, and even less here.

Lmao....faker advocate has every one of his lies quashed here for the last two years.

Think back to "illegal" return policy....not even ONE example where CT or any other retailer has been found to have an illegal policy

Think back to profitability of dealers....proven yet again on your lack of knowledge

All the other sucks.com sites....you are neither unique or important

Yes, we've all witnessed your dribble, without proof, for a long time
Cheers

the most read thread ON THIS SITE........amounts to VERY little. 10 or 12 regular posters to this site all educating eachother! Great job, way to get the word out!

Well done haters, well done!

I've been following this thread for quite a while.

Apparently lots of others have, too. On average, about 50 people "view" this thread every day.

It also shows up on lots of Google searches for "Simoniz", which might help explain why it's so popular.

As for "lies", the only ones I've seen are from ct people, and most are from this strange "you are all fakers" poster. It looks like nobody really takes that weirdo seriously though. "Angry CT Guy" - LOL!

The customers all seem to have done their homework and posted useful links and proof.

For that "profit of dealers" topic, I haven't really been following. Maybe somebody told a lie, or maybe they didn't. It hasn't really be proven either way, maybe because nobody really cares? Doesn't really belong under the simoniz topic anyway.

I've found an interesting judgment that's relevant to this thread, CPA, returns, warranty etc. The trouble is, where does it go, or should there be a new thread opened just for judgments so everyone can find it?

If it's about a defective pressure washer, this thread might be best.

If this wasn't a pressure washer, but it was about a refund for one of Crappy Tire's many defective 'repair only' product, then the "Repair Only Warranty" thread would make sense.

If the main factor in the judgement was the SOGA or the CPA, then it would fit well into the Sale Of Goods Act thread.

If it's some other kind of suit, you might check out the various threads on 'sue' and 'lawsuite', or start a new thread called something like "Lawsuits Against Canadian Tire", for things like injured customers and their families, wrongful dismisal, injured empolyees, etc.

"37. Un bien qui fait l'objet d'un contrat doit être tel qu'il puisse servir à l'usage auquel il est normalement destiné"

[8] Le Tribunal est d'opinion que le demandeur a prouvé le bien fondé de sa réclamation;

POUR CES MOTIFS, le Tribunal

ACCUEILLE l'action du demandeur;

CONDAMNE la défenderesse à payer au demandeur la somme 398,81 $ avec intérêts au taux de 5 % l'an ainsi que l'indemnité additionnelle prévue à l'article 1619 C.c.Q. depuis l'assignation;

Sur réception de cette somme,

ORDONNE au demandeur de remettre à la défenderesse, Canadian Tire, magasin #231, l'appareil en question, dans les 15 jours de la réception de ladite somme;

CONDAMNE la défenderesse à payer au demandeur les frais judiciaires de 66 $;
