    Canadian Tire is sloppy and frustrating!

    I got a bike from Canadian tire. 4 days in the chain broke. Took it to get repaired. Got repaired and then another problem arose. I got home and saw that the pedal was loose. I found it fishy but just decided to tighten the nut. After a few blocks of riding the pedal came loose again. Stranded...

    What a nightmare. I took my 95 Jeep to Exeter this time when my Life Time Muffler blew apart. They wanted over 100bucks for labour, they dropped it to 60 when I flat out refused to pay that for 20 minutes work. Well it was a little noisy on the way home but just put it down to manifold gasket...

    Watch out buying tires at Cobourg CTS.

    My brother went to Canadian Tire in Cobourg to get a leak fixed in his tire. He was told the tire was unrepairable. He bought a new tire and when we saw the old tire he was upset --- the tire was clearly repairable. He showed me the tire and I found it unbeliveable that they had not simply...

    Simonize - just another private label??

    After getting stung on a Simonize pressure washer that failed during the warranty, then failed just outside of the warranty (now sitting forlornly in my car port) I am told that CT bought the name for Canada and it's sold only by CT. It was cheap and I guess the name of the crapshoot is 1. you...

    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...

    Sale of Goods Act

    Has anybody heard of this before? I came across this on Ellen Roseman's "On Your Side" blog (here: Your right to a refund, credit or exchange | Ellen Roseman).
