That sucks!!! One of the worst reputations regarding fraud and car repairs and parts.
I bought a battery from my local CT and after 4 months it went bad 9of course....only place around that was open when stuck in the parking lot...go figure). Took the battery out (eliminator) and went to the store. parts tested it for nothing as they should, declared it to be bad and replaced it with a new one with a new 3 year free replacement warranty...surprised the shite out of me but am happy camper.

I don't understand. Why would you be surprised? Your battery was defective under warranty...
That was a bad hire. He's not doing the store favours by honoring warranties. If you let me know which store he at I can get him fired right away.
You should have brought it to another Canadian Tire. If it was under warranty.. You should be getting one for free.. IF it is under free warranty though, if the free warranty is over, then you get a battery for a cheaper price. Testing the battery should have been free too if you brought it in to the auto counter. I don't know what this service fee is though? Strange.
we shouldn't have to drive all over trying to find a store that will actually do what they already promised.
what we should do is buy from somebody else in the first place.
a lesson learned, but now passed on so that others don't fall into the same ct trap.
Yeah, it has nothing to do with poorly trained staff...lol. Don't believe faker advocate that it's only at one retailer. They all have shortcomings that need to be improved:
Walmart battery pro-rating policy
Don't buy a car battery at Walmart they won't honor Warranty - Topix
SEARS DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WARRANTY
You should probably get educated on where the battery warranty comes from:

once again the ct'ers are trying to blame their own staff - as if that still isnt the fault of management - LOL.
and its still a mystery why the ct'ers find americans so fascinating, that they can't help but post about them on a site for a crappy canadian retailer.
but it isn't hard to find lots of compaints about at least one canadian retailer: Canadian Tire Sucks Forum - Canadian Tire Sucks Portal
the logic of the owners and managers is still wrong - even if they somehow mangaged to show that other canadian retailers suck, that doesn't change one simple fact:
ct still sucks.
Auto Zone store in KentuckySorry it was a Walmart store in Kentucky. Autozone was the recommended alternative. Too bad they aren't an option in Canada.
