    Canadian Tire Centre Street Napanee - Used Oil

    To my knowledge CTC has always advertised that they will take back your used oil. I have always done my own vehicle maintenance. I purchased oil from the Napanee CTC, did the oil change and later returned the used oil to the store. While they will take the oil back they actually charge for...

    It's my mufler again

    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...

    Avoid!!!

    I came to their service department to get my federal RIV inspection done. I normally try to avoid CT but there are not many choices in Calgary for getting the RIV inspection. There is only one nonCT shop in the city that does it. I thought that since I was there I might as well have them do...

    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.
