    New here, have to agree that Canadian Tire Sucks!

    Last weekend saw CT's flyer, some OE Plus brake pads on sale, 20% off, thought it was not bad. Went to the store nearby during the weekend, want to stock up a whole set of front / rear brake pads for my car. They told me there's no stock of the rear brake pads, but can order for me, and will...

    consumer relations and suggestions

    This is yet another area in which Canadian Tire excels ... at sucking, that is. I was inspired by this post on the Mapleview thread: https://www.canadiantiresucks.net/canadian-tire-75-mapleview-dr-w-barrie/909-need-oil-change-maintenance-avoid-mapleview-dr-barrie-location.html Here's what...

    Need an oil change or maintenance? AVOID MAPLEVIEW DR. BARRIE LOCATION

    I just got back from having an oil change done at the Mapleview Dr. Canadian Tire location. After waiting over an hour to have the change done in an EMPTY garage and signing what I assumed would be the price I would pay, I was shown the bill that was around $15 more than the price agreed upon...

    So....I take my father's car into Canadian Tire to have two front struts replaced, an upper shock mount bolt drilled out and replaced, and a wheel alignment. I haven't lived in Canada for 15 years, and it did not occur to me that a garage like Canadian Tire would mislead me. The repair to...
