    G'day

    Hello, as with everyone here, I've had an inexcusably bad experience at CT. In my case, trying to return defective goods. The clerks were treating me like a liar and a theif. I had to phone customer service on my cell while standing in front of the assistant "manager" while he was texting his...

    ex canadiantire auto service apprentice

    I worked at the #304 shop for my 1st and half of 2nd year apprenticeship. I have seen countless amount of bullshit during the time I worked there, but I will just give out a few examples. A customer had a concern about his heater not blowing hot. I looked at the vehicles and determined that...

    Mechanics on Piece Work Are they Always Honest?

    After joining the CT motor club I recieved a free oil change coupon, I took my wifes car in for the free service.

    Motomaster tires

    Motomaster tires sold and fixed by canadian tire are the worst tires on earth. They are worse than useless. Motomaster tires will be worn out in just 1 year by running just 5000 kms only. I strongly advise that nobody on this earth should buy these f----in tires from this f-----in canadain tire.

    Returned goods put back on shelf to be resold (to me)

    It seems almost everything I buy at CT has been returned. I consider these products to be used, not new. I bought a cot. Good quality, on closer inspection, blond hair boot print and dust. Hey, unexpected overnight guests? Buy, no rent, cot at CT and return it the next day. It's back on...

    Tempo 620 - Warranty Line does not answer

    Do not buy anything from Crappy Tire and expect manufacturer warranty . . . that is, don't buy anything at Crappy Tire where they offer warranty. Head to Costco and your future problems are solved. Bought Tempo 620 about 1.5 years ago. The motor craps out and when dialing the Tempo support...

    Snowblower Blew up

    :realmad:I bought a snowblower from Canadian Tire. I was satisfied with the price. They were very helpful in regards to loading it in my truck. They even supplied the oil for the motor. I got the blower home which is 1 1/2 hour drive. I added the recommended amount of oil, filled it with...
