    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...

    Feeling Rather Ripped Off

    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...

    Canadian Tire Cheats Generous Canadians Who Donate to Charities (Jumpstart)

    I'm sure Jumpstart does some good work. But that's no excuse for Canadian Tire to steal the tax credits of the generous Canadians who donate. And after they steal the tax credits, they also steal the credit for the whole donation! Have they no shame at all? I don't approve of vulgarity...

    I purchased an assortment of nuts and bolts in a plastic hard case. I had expected they would fit each other but they didn't. Not on nut in the box would fit any of the bolts. NOT ONE... I returned them to the store explaining the problem. They told me "nowhere on the package does it say they...

    ratchets, sockets, etc

    CTC used to say it's warranty on tools is "forever" but forever now has a time limit or at least it requires a receipt. No more replacements without a receipt. Now who keep receipts for their tools for years??? Are they mental? You'd think the fact you present them a broken part would be...

    CTC steals Dealers Equity and then threatens him......

    Well Mark, we are a team ( a concept you never understood) - we all work together and my "mommy" should you decide to fight her, would make you go pale - just try to fuck with her, you have no idea what, or who, you are dealing with. I know this is a difficult concept for your pea brain to...

    Crappy Tire's Financial State

    It's good to see some financial information that isn't distored by the Crappy Tire Defenders. It turns out that this "cash only" buy-out of Forzani wasn't really "cash only" after all. Crappy Tire's debt went up from $2.3 billion to $3.3 billion. There was assumed debt and transaction costs...
