In shopping today at your store, not one sales person or helper was wearing a mask. .....WHY ?????

20

I was looking for a mountain bike. I found one online in Brooks, AB on Saturday, July 18th, 2020. I put the order in. It said, they e-mail me when it's ready to pick up. I was waiting till Tuesday and I called the store. I was told, they sold the bike to some other costumer, who probably walked in to the store. In my point of view. If I put my order in, this should show up at the store and they should not sell the item to somebody else, or it shouldn't show on line, the item is still available. Something is wrong with the system. I'm very disappointed, because falsly puts people hopes up.

I wear track pants and was denied entry unless I put my backpack behind the counter.
As it contains all my financial items I will not leave it out of my site. I am very honest
and would gladly open my back pack for inspection before leaving. If you are worried
about theft, people steal in all sorts of ways and women have purses almost as big as my
backpack and they aren't given a second look. I dont have problems with any other store ,
so I guess you will just have to do without my business.

I have bought blanket from the canadian tire hespler store. once i reached home and i opened it. i saw that was weight blanket. So because i do not need that blanket i just put it back and went back to store to return it. The staff over there told me that they cannot return that blanket. Then i called the manager - Josh then he also refused to take it back , he told me they cannot take it back if it is opened. then i ask him that nobody told me when i bought blanket that if i open it it will not be return. then i even asked him that nobody told us and also no where it is written that this cannot be return bit he did not listen at all and keep us there for 45 minutes. even in other store if the item is not returnable they told us and even some cases they put a seal on to the bill that this si final sale. they even did not do that.
i even did not use that item at all and that item was around $55
but josh is not listening at all and only blaming us that you should see before buying.

they are so un friendly i cannot even explain. they feel us so uncomfortable over there i can not even explain even the gesture of josh was like he is enjoying on my situation and he is the boss. people over there looking at us like why er are standing there for 45 minutes and keep on telling to do something. even i notice some people are laughing at this situation.

I just want my money back..........

Hi There
July first I had time to shop from Canadian tire at Beacon hill Calgary. I saw an item on a shelf with a price of 49.9, I was thinking to buy or not a lady pick it up first and went. I asked the manager do you have in stuck he said no. After 2 hours I backed to the store to buy something else I saw the item returned to the same shelf location and I pick it up. At the paid time, the cashier told me the price is 89.9 and I was shuck I told them found in the shelf with the price 49.9 and they told me maybe someone else put in the wrong place I told them to ask the manager. After the manager check, he found this is a new item and does not even have the current location. it means one time they found it is wrong to place and again they put in the wrong place too. They waste my time and when I ask for an adjusted price the manager rejects it with very bad behavior. His name was Amet. I said I am a regular customer of Canadian tire and I have an account with you my card was full of items around 600 $ and he did reject to adjust the price for the item that they put a wrong price tag on it twice. He said he cannot adjust it. I told him all store accept their employee mistake to save their customer he rejects me and I did not shop any item after our conversation. he saw I rejected all items (600$) just because of his attitude and unfair behavior. He saved 40$ for Canadian tire and damaged 600 $ in margin selling to Canadian tire. I think the Canadian tire should give him an award for this management. I am not continuing shopping from Canadian tire in this location and if Canadian tire does not satisfy me I will drop my membership with them and let the public knows my story.

I recently went to Canadian tire to purchase synthetic oil/filter and a passenger side wiper blade for my deceased Father in Law's 2014 Ford Escape that we are trying to sell. Due to Covid19 the kiosks are closed and one has to go to the counter to find the right filter and wiper blade. I did this first for the oil filter and then went back to ask for the right wiper blade as well. The person I asked clearly had my vehicle information. For the wiper blade he simple told me the length of 22 inches. I picked up a 28 inch wiper blade and drove home to change the oil and wiper blade. The wiper blade did not have the right attachment. I called the store and was told that I needed the 28OE part. I asked why I was not told this originally, no answer was given. So I had to drive all the way across town, wait in line again and then was not allowed to exchange the wiper for the correct one. They made me go through the refund process, and then get a new one and go through the check out again. Not once did anyone offer any apology or any kind of reimbursement for my time, gas expense etc. Deeply disappointed.

IT'S A SHAME THAT ON CANADA DAY A SINCERELY POOR RATING OF SERVICE WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT CTC.. WANTED TO RETURN GRASS SEEDS THAT DID NOT DO AS IT SAID ON THE CONTAINER. I WANTED TO GET IN AND OUT OF TH STORE IN THE SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME DUE TO COVID! ! INSTEAD I RECEIVED A VERY POOR REPRESENTATIVE, NAOMIE AT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MFG. COMPANY TO RETURN THE ITEM BECAUSE THEY GUARANTEE THEIR PRODUCT TO WORK. INSTEAD SHE GAVE ME LIP, I ASKED FOR THE STORE MANAGER, "I AM THE MANAGER" I TOOK MY ITEM, FOUND THE STORE MANAGER, SPENT MORE TIME SEARCHING FOR HIM BECAUSE NAOMIE REFUSED TO CALL HIM, AS SHE CLAIMED SHE IS THE MANAGER. PANICKING OVER HOW MUCH TIME I AM SPENDING IN THE STORE FOR NOTHING. SPOKE TO OTHER CUSTOMERS WHILE THE MANAGE WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS OFFICE AND AS WELL THESE PEOPLE TOLD ME THE SAME, THE SERVICE AT THIS STORE STINKS!
FINALLY AFTER RANGLING WITHTHE ISSUES, THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I COULD RECEIVE A RETURN ITEM CARD. AT THIS POINT I SAID "I JUST DO NOT CAR ANYMORE, I WANT TO LEAVE THIS STORE". IT'S THE ATTITUDE, THE POOR TASTE, THE UNHAPPINESS OF THE PERSON WORKING THERE. CUSTOMER SERVICE A BIG ZERO!!! I WON'T PURCHASE ANYTHING UNLESS I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO. BACK TO WALMART SUPERSTORE OR COSTCO UNFORTUNATELY. WASTED 45 MINUTES UNNECESSARILY-WHY, BECAUSE THIS PLACE SHOULD BE CALLED HELL.

I called Canadian Tire in New Liskeard looking for a bathroom storage cabinet. On the website it said the store had 3 in stock. Britney at the customer service desk answered the call. Looked up the item for me and said there were 3 in stock. When I asked her to get one for me she got very rude and ignorant with me. Personally I do not think that this type of attitude belongs in retail let alone at a customer service desk.

I BOUGHT A SIMONIZ GAS POWER WASHER SERIAL # JH150204349 IT HAS A KOHLER XT SERIES 7.75. IT WORKS GREAT. THE WAND STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY SO I WENT TO A CANADIAN TIRE STORE TO REPLACE IT. I GAVE THEM MY SERIAL NUMBER AND MAKE AND THEY SOLD ME A HANDLE FOR $69.99 PLUS $49.99 FOR THE WAND. I ENDED UP GETTING SICK FOR A FEW MONTHS SO NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO HOOK IT UP. I FINELY TRIED TO HOOK IT UP IN MAY AND WHEN I TRIED IT WOULD NOT HOOK UP AS THE PART TO HOOK THE HOSE INTO THE HANDLE IS THE WRONG SIZE. I LOOKED ALL OVER FOR AN ADAPTER BUT COULD NOT LOCATE SUCH. I RETURNED TO CANADIAN TIRE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION SO THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW HOSE. TO MATCH THE WAND I BOUGHT. SO I BOUGHT THE HOSE, $ 72.99. YES IT DID FIT THE WAND BUT THE OTHER END DOES NOT FIT THE MACHINE. SO I HAVE NOW SENT OVER $ 200.00 TO TRY AND REPLACE THE WAND. I CALLED YOUR HEAD OFFICE AND THEY TOLD ME HOW TO FIND THE PARTS MANUAL. IN THE DIAGRAM IT DESCRIBES THE WAND AS PART # 47
IF THAT IS THE CORRECT PART NUMBER I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY INSISTED I BUY 3 PIECES THAT DON'T WORK. THE WAND WAS BOUGHT IN BRADFORD CANADIAN TIRE AND THE HOSE IN AURORA. I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THE PIECES I BOUGHT AND WOULD LIKE
MY MONEY BACK AND WOULD LIKE TO BUY THE PROPER WAND FOR MY MACHINE.

Curbside pickup at the Owen Sound Canadian Tire. We waited for almost half hour to get our ordered item. Also waited 10 min to have someone picking up the phone inside the store. We complained about the wait time to the customer services of that store but still no improvement. The pickup process was not organized and a few cars before ours also waited for a long time. We’ll not buy anything from that store again.

was at Canadian tire at Dundas st London ont with my daughter who purchased light bulbs from behind a locked display case we had to get an associate to unlock it the big yellow price tag locked in the cabinet listed price as 12.99 when we got to check out they came up as 14.99 but instead of honoring the price the store manger became VERY RUDE AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN HIS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE EVEN HAD A SALES PERSON TO TELL MMY DAUGHTER TO SHUT UP BRACO CT YOU HIRED A REAL WINNER THERE .Will try to influence as many people as possible to shop ejse where No ecuse for this behavior as ive said heard of numerus complaints about this guy but he still works for you sad that your scrapping bottom of the barrel for managers

Please provide 2m distancing or atleast I'm physical distancing on all curb side pick ups . Take a look at how loblaws and other stores are doing. Very concerning.

20

If I could give a -50 I would. So poor, rude customer service with the Dundas store. She blames the virous on her rudeness, acting like its OK to be short with customers and condescending. Thank GOD I live in Burlington and do not have to deal with that " women". When I found out it would be 7 days for my online order I said I want to can cancel it she was acting like who cares no big deal and a big F U to me.

We purchased plants at your store on Tecumseh Road, Windsor, Ontario on May 16, 2020 and most of the plants were reasonably priced, approx. $11.00 each, but then, when we got home, I thought my bill was rather too high for what we had purchased. Turns out the Gallon pots with Dipladenia plants were $44.99 each!!! And there was no sign on the Pot or in the vicinity that these were $44.99 each. That is unconscionable in this day and in this time!! There were 4 plants in that pot...$30.00 I could see, but, almost $45.00 each pot. When I called to return the plants, your store associate refused. Well let me be very clear, we won't ever purchase plants again from your store. $90.00 for 2 plants....daylight robbery....price gouging and we will report the store. Other garden centres in the City were more reasonable.

This feedback concerns your store at Clarkson crossing in Mississauga. Upon entering your store I used the anti-bacterial wipes to sanitize the shopping cart handle and was shocked to see how much dirt was on the wipe. It was evident the cart had not been wiped down for a very long time. This indicates that preparing your store to ensure your customers and staff is being neglected. You need to sanitize the store and safety should guide all your decisions now that you are open. I am very disappointed with your lack of concern for people in your store. Please put the safety precautions in place to meet acceptable standards.

I bought a snow blower from the Listowel CT store, we had a house fire which lost the receipt. Used this machine only once broke a piece from it. The piece was broken before I used it, it showed rust on three sides. Went back to the listowel location to get a copy of the receipt they had said no don’t have time. To take it to this guy to fix it, but he needs a receipt to fix it under warranty, the item that broke is approximately cost 800.00 this includes labour, I paid 899.00 plus taxes. The machine was used for 10 minutes tops. Please help us out with this. Thank you

My 73 yr old husband and myself visited your store today July 20 at approx. 5 pm. We were planning on purchasing the Premier Paint on Sale in your store. However, I had a colour from another line and I needed to match it in order to determine the accurate shade I wanted. We waited at the counter for over 5 minutes then my husband searched around to find an associate who informed him he did not work that section and would get someone to come. We waited another 10 minutes, no one. The my husband tracked this same clerk down and he tried (? once again to find someone who could help but he could not so then he asked what we needed. If just paint I am sure he would have sufficed but since we needed some advice he could not. After approx. 1/2 hr total we said never mind we would return tomorrow. We live at the other end of town but never mind, our time is not important. I realize that the store had few staff on hand and that the store was not seeing much flow of traffic but nonetheless it should be experienced staff who are able to answer customer's queries - and especially when an item is on sale they should expect some interest. Then on the way out I asked a very nice clerk at the key desk about finding a wall mount key hook item and he called someone and they gave him an isle #. We traipsed to the back of the store, found the isle # and lo and behold it was not at all what we needed and of course there was no one around so we just left the store, extremely frustrated.

Hi I'm currently at your store in Amherst N.S I've purchased wood pellets they directed me to go around back to the garage to pick them up , ive been waiting now for over a half hour . I have called customer service an told I'm still waiting that was 15 minutes ago . This is unacceptable. I spend alot of money on pellets during the winter months at your store but think I'll be shopping else where for now on.

20

Where do I start ? Should I start with the fact that there are never enough cashier's on? But why is this when there are 2 other employees are RIGHT there fiddle farting around with something that I'm sure can wait. Or the fact that there is never anybody on the floor to help you find that item in the flyer that just came out that they never had in the first place. Or to get you a price on another one of those many items that has no price on it . Use the pricing scanner you say ? Good luck finding one that works. Or someone to unlock the stupidest thing that they have locked up , things that would never get stolen in a million years but the thing that would get stolen is just outside of the cage , like really ? And IF you do find someone it's usually some stupid kid that don't know his head from his ass who makes a quick detour as soon as you make eye contact with him . But don't worry though once you catch that stupid kid he will find that item for you because the computer says they have 100 of them in the warehouse ! But wait , maybe not . 45 mins later you finally see him again and guess what he's serving another customer! So you say excuse me but did you happen to find that item you went looking for for me ? He then informs you that they must of sold the 100 items this morning OR that the computer must be wrong OR it must of got sent to another warehouse but not to worry you can get a rain check and they will call you as soon as it come in which case never happens . Don't get me wrong this is not a one time incident at one particular store, shopping at any Canadian Tire is painfully infuriating and if I could give it minus stars I would, fuck Canadian Tire!

20

Everytime I'm directed to a Canada Tire website it never loads & freezes my screen? I dont really get it? You are making it difficult for people to give you money? That's quite the business plan? Wont be surprised to hear of you going under & out of business. I've been leaving these comments for CTC for yrs & still nothing has changed?

Will not be using your repair facilities in the future because of poor service. I recently took my vehicle in to the North Sydney branch because my heater was not working and asked them to replace the thermostat. Made an appointment to have the work done and my wife drove into town to have the work done. When she arrived for her appointment she was told that the thermostat they had for my car had been sold to someone else. She made an appointment for the following day. Upon picking up the vehicle I was informed that the thermostat had been replaced and the heater was still not operating because of an actuator which he could not replace as Canadian Tire did not do that type of work.. I made an appointment with a radiator repair service who tested all actuators and found them OK. He also cleaned the heater core but still no heat and he thought there was a thermostat problem which he could could repair at a later date however he also said that it should have been done by your mechanics. He also advised that an actuator problem would have been an easy fix. I went to the store and spoke to the service manager who became very confrontational when I told him I was not satisfied with the service. I could have been advised been advised at the time that more work was needed, not given misinformation. Paid twice to have the vehicle repaired but still driving in the cold.

I would also like to mention that two years or so ago I had my vehicle preinspected for a safety sticker and was quoted a price of about $250 for some minor repairs. Went back the following week for inspection and they demanded over $900 for further work they claimed they had to do. Went to another repair shop and was charged $375 for repairs and inspection.

Also at your Bedford store I had a control arm replaced which took roughly 45 minutes (I waited for the work to be done) however was charged for 3 hours of labour. Argued with the manager however he stated that it was a fixed price repair and could not do anything about it.

In the future I will seek work elsewhere. I am sorely disappointed with this situation and this is the last time. I have used your services for both my vehicles over the last few years costing in the thousands. I will go somewhere else where they don't growl at you when you complain and use real mechanics to work for them as opposed to someone who learned their craft from Youtube. I do not want anything for nothing but from now on will deal with people that do it right and stand behind their work.

I am complaining about you policy of Red Flyer Sales.I purchased an item on Nov 28 2019 and payed $229.99 for it. I t was not listed in the flyer, so should not be subject to that condition. It is now listed in this weeks flyer for $149.99 but the store say's that because it was bought during the aforementioned time frame the cannot refund the difference. I see this as unfair business practice and will possibly be forced to report the act to the BBB. I would appreciate you reply as soon as possible to this situation.

Went to buy truck tires at the store in Burlington on Fairview and because I am a new corporate employee so I wanted to support the company.After waiting in line for 15 minutes because it’s was busy no big deal,I showed the gentleman what tire I needed and he informed me of the price which was in total over $200.00 more then The Ford dealer down the street.I then ask do you price match and he informed me they do but you have to go to the parts desk which I proceeded to do and waited again in line.The gentleman who helped me there was very good and after he ordered the 4 tires he told me to go back again to the other counter to pay for them and make an appointment to have them installed, so then I wait again.So I finally get to the counter and said I need to make an appointment to have these tires installed and also pay for them,he tells me The the earliest that this can be done is December 9th which I find ludicrous that’s almost a month.So I said I will just pay for them and have them installed somewhere else and I can’t believe he told me to go to the other counter to pay for them.Obvious after 35 minutes I just left and bought them at ford.Very poor service

20

I have over paid on my card and with my limit removed from the overpayment I still have no,access to MY money. This is ridiculous. You need to update your policy. I have money that I have no access to and you guys are refusing it to me. Angry. I am on vacation and penniless.

Parts personell said order on line , on line will not allow me to add to cart as unavalable. Advertise a product that you dont have!!!!!

20

I dont usually do this but this is the second time in the last month that I have left the store feeling totally frustrated and like my business was not important. The 1st time was when I went to purchase a sale item and it took 1/2 an hr to find someone to assist me. This time another employee paged for a staff from the dept to assist me after waiting 20 min for someone e to show up I left . I don't expect I will be visiting the store anytime soon.

The floor staff person help at the Stouffville branch ignored the order of customers waiting and did NOT pay any attention or listen to this fact. I left and I will buy ELSEWHERE.

My sister and Brother-in-law, received a new Ford Escape from his parents, and from Sask! They took this into Canadian Tire to have an outta province inspection done on the Escape that they had just received. Well Canadian Tire did the "inspection" and told my sister that they have 2700 dollars in repairs that needed to be done. They told them that their muffler was all messed up and that they would have to take it to a muffler place. So they spent the money and took it to the Muffler place. The muffler place told them that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the exhaust and or muffler!!! So my sister called Canadian Tire back and spoke with the Manager of the Auto parts servicing, and told him what they had found out. The Manager said nope i trust my guys work and hung up. My sister felt like a complete idiot after speaking with this so called "manager". So then they decided to take it somewhere else. And they did the out of province inspection for them, and brought along the invoice that Canadian Tire had provided them. This other place told them that they did not even write down the VPN correctly. So this other location did the out of province inspection for them and any corrections that needed to be made for $500 dollars!!!!!!!! Thats like 2000 dollars less than what CT had quoted!!!

So my sister called CT customer Service and told them what had happened....only to be told that it happened to long ago and that they trust the work that is being done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They RIPPED off my sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Completely! I cannot believe that this is the type of "customer Service" that they provide!

On May 16/2019 I bought a Canvas Conversation patio set and I received it the next day. When I was looking at the boxes , they were all opened and inside the boxes some of the plastics that were covering the cushions were torn, the screws were out of the package and in another little bag tied with a string. I asked the delivery person why were the boxes opened and he replied that the store opened the boxes to check if everything was inside .I assumed that this patio set was already once returned to the store. I decided to call Canadian Tire to explain , but there was no customer service,I tried several times. My husband and I then went to Canadian Tire and explained that I was not satisfied. They said that they would deliver us another one May 20 or May 21 and take the other one back , ... we agreed. By May 22 I still did not receive the new patio set . Again tried calling the store again and again..... could not get any service, transferred all over , the voicemail was full , the manger not there , telling me that the manger would call me the next day and he never did . Finally we received the brand new patio set May 23. All this could have been avoided with just one phone call to customer service. The employees need to be trained better. With all this said unfortunately will will not be returning to Canadian Tire again and I will definitely NOT recommend to anyone. My kids bought houses and needed patio sets and because of the bad experience that I had to deal with, they will go elsewhere.

I am a IT consultant works for Telecom Company, time is very important thing for me. I had a completely flat tire yesterday (Tuesday), and as usual I went to Canadian Tire (10031 Mclaughlin Rd) to get the new tire. Representative, I think his name is Milan attended me and I have asked him to check to see whether the same tire got damaged which I bought in 2017 because it is still under warranty, Milan came along with me to check the Tire and confirmed that the tire which got damaged not under warranty and it needs replacement. We came back together onto store and I have asked him to order the new Tire for me under decent price. He ordered me a new Tire for $182.99 with discounted price, and told me that Tire will be in next day and someone will give me a call when is all good to go. This afternoon I had a call saying Tire has been arrived and I can drop in at anytime. I went to store to change the tire and the same guy (Milan) attended me again and completed all the paperwork and took the car keys from me and told me that my car will be ready in an hour.

I was waiting in the lounge room, Milan came to me and said that he has ordered the wrong Tire, I was shocked, how can anyone does that? He came along with me to check the Tires and he even checked the tire which I bought in back 2017. I spoke to his manager Robin and explained the situation, he just said all they can do is refund the money and I have to order the new Tire and come back again tomorrow to get it replaced. I took the day off from work today to sort out my car, and again I have to go through the same process again.

Really really disappointed with the service, I will think twice before buying any of your stuffs again, might just never take your service again.

Thanks for all the stress Canadian Tire :(

I received a $30.00 promo card when I spent over $150.00 at your Sylvan Lake Store on April 25, 2019. At the same time the cashier also enrolled me in your rewards program and gave me a triangle card. The promo card was put in with the triangle card in a folder. I never looked at it until today May 07, 2019 when I went to this store to make a purchase with the card. I was surprised to learn that it had an expiry date of May 05, 2019. The cashier had never mentioned that the card had an expiry date and as gift cards are not allowed an expiry I assumed that I could use the card at my leasure.

I explained the situation to the woman at customer service. She was very assertive with a too bad for you type of attitude. I asked if maybe a manager would be able to help me. The manager came and was open to trying to help me by calling the GM. All the while he was on the phone the customer service rep kept on talking to him saying it is a promo card it has expired. She was just not very understanding and not open to helping in anyway. The manager explained that there was nothing he could do as the card had expired. I said ok I do understand but I want to make a suggestion that at your staff meetings when you have promotions going on that it would be a good idea to insist that your cashiers let the customers know about the expiry. As I was trying to talk with the manager the customer service rep kept interjecting her opinion. I finally had to explain to her that I was speaking with the manager and not her. She was not very customer friendly while chewing on her gum and insisting on getting her point across.

So now I have two suggestions for your company. Training you customer service reps that once a manager is on the scene he/she is the one that should be dealing with the customer and the rep should return to her duties rather than leaving other customers wait while she expresses her opinion and that all cashier should be informed of the importance of telling customers about expirey dates.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and any remedies you may have.

My car 2004 Grand Prix was towed by Canadian tire roadside size assistance to Canadian tire ,499 Main Street south on May 3rd 2019 for Repair due to one of the one of the brake line was ruptured ,brake line fluid was leaking and it was not in drive able condition.
Car was examined by one of the mechanic and he determined and was adamant he will loose his license because he sees a rust spots on the other line as well and other brake parts as well to be replaced . Just because he was not interested in replacing line he created a repair order as fast as he could of $3032. Even myself is an Aerospace Engineer i saw in the the facility resources were very minimum and not competent to handle that kind of repair. Mechanic didn’t even put a brake line fluid in the reservoir to test the leak even i did it at home to see the leak. So then i called the Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance to be towed back to my residence. Even though i was a member he said i will be charged by $65 +Tax. Good experience though .
So i ended up paying to Canadian Tire Total: 62.15 + 73...= $135.00 .

I went to get my tires switched from winters to summers at the Newmarket location.

I made an appointment for 2pm on a Monday and had me waiting for 2 hours as still had not gotten to my car.

I had to leave to get my children from school, so my car tires did not get done.

What is the point of appointment bookings if still making the customer wait for that long.

The representative was also very rude and inconsiderate.

Worst customer service ever. Will not be going back.

2 weeks ago I was driving to Sarnia to visit my Mom. I was driving from Brantford to Sarnia. As I was approaching Sarnia in the rental car my right tire was loosing air. I was very nervous but managed to get to Sarnia and filled the tire with air.
When I was leaving to drive back the tire was worse so I went to Canadian Tire on London Road, Sarnia Ont.
It was 4.50 and they were closing at 5,00. I wasn’t sure how to get in so I tapped on the window. The young lady glanced looked away and pointed to a.door . As I came in I was already irked by the rudeness , the young lady did not really acknowledge me until I was literally standing in front of her and even that took time. I explained my situation and her answer was no we are closing. I again stressed to her that I had to drive back and needed a solution. Could they change the tire something. The answer was no and she suggested to me that I go in the store and buy a patch kit. I was rather shocked and again said to her so there is nothing you will do because you are closing in 10 minutes. I walked out and she actually said to me have a nice day really,,,, I went to a gas station and the attendant fixed the puncture in 5 minutes with the best service. It takes a lot for me to talk about customer service as I have been in the industry for over 45 yrs. I would not have any customers if I acted like your employee. I was very disappointed in the NO customer service I did not get. I’m not sure if you care I just felt I should say something.

Me and my son took his 2007 Ford Edge to the Canadian Tire in Collingwood Ontario on Monday April 29 2019 for a summer tire changeover . Upon inspection, the service dept. told us that we needed a front steering linkage and this required a front end alignment. When work was completed, my son drove home. When driving to work on Thursday May 2 2019 my son could hear strange noises coming from the rear of his car. He knew a mechanic at his workplace who checked the car over and was shocked at what he found. The tire lugnuts on all 4 tires were all loose. The mechanic tightened and torqued the wheels. My son had been driving with these loose lugnuts for 3 days..A very bad situation certainly could have happened.
I will never do business with this store again. The mechanics, except for a couple are young and irresponsible.
Please comment on this matter. I do not feel that I owe Canadian Tire any money ($209.94) for this poor work.

I went to the cashier and she had to own me 15 cents canadian tire money.didnt even ask me if i had the point card and she just closed her till and started to walk away.

First off went to pick up my new tires that i bought online Canadian Tires website, and when i got to the store a older man working decided to tell me i had to pay for the tires even though i already paid online with my CC. I told him i already paid but he insisted i didnt and was giving me attitude to the point i would of ripped him a new one. After settle the arguement i got my tires and left. Today i decide to call the same store after seeing canadian tire page saying walk in or book appointment to get tires change so i did. I call the same store i picked up my tires and was told they dont do appointments. Wtf are these workers on, im a very busy person and this is why i need to book an appointment. I cant sit in your store all day waiting for the one moment your store can change them. This is honestly unacceptable. As much as id like to get my tires installed at CT and starting to give up and give my business to another company who cares.

Canadian Tire triangle credit card and department, Recently I had to get a replacement card as there had been fraudulent use and charges on my card, at that time the lady was helpful, actually don't use my card regularly but, In Feb. I had to do an online course and also had to purchase security update on my computer , so I used the card , then when I got my statemen I realized there kept on being charges on my card so in March I called , they reversed them and said the only way was to re issue a new card. At that time she did not explain that the charges would be carried over , and I waited to see my next months statement. I have always paid more than my minimum sometimes paid over what I owed . so in April 10 I tried to renew my office 365 and my card did not work . I had received new card but had not activated it . I activated it online so I thought and proceeded to try and buy 365, however it still did not work I called the # for Canadian tire and they said the system was down and try online . I thought ok I've done that and I should be good to go . I only have a $300 limit . and the balance said $129.90 and when I had not received the statement Today . April 16th ( March' s Statement...) and said differently , and that it was due on the 16th . today . Yesterday when I called it said I had not made a payment since Nov. 2018 at that Time I had only used it 1 or2 times for small amount and had not used it till Feb. … and they said until the $129 was paid It would be blocked I tried to explain the situation and they did not help only restating policy, I tried to explain that I had contact with Canadian tire re the fraud . so not Like I did not communicate, and that I was waiting for the statement first . for the new card to see all was well as and charges had been removed . they didn't care so I went directly to a Canadian Tire Store to make Payment in Full for $130. and thinking with this day in computers it should be quick and almost immediate. however not the case the card would not today work and when I looked online the credit payment had not been applied , and when I spoke to someone again today I was told it will take 2-3 business days .. and yesterday I was not told that .

I have been like most Canadians doing business with Canadian tire, as a proud Canadian to support our Canadian business Unfortunately I was not happy with the experience of walking in buying a new tire, finding out that they will not put the tire on for you. They say due to policy, what happened to simply buying a tire and having them take your old tire off putting a new one on. This is friendly Canadian tire good service and be happy with the purchase and drive away. Why sale tires and call yourself Canadian tire if you can not offer the simple care free service of changing the tire. Recommendation change your name to "we sale tires see you later bud". This is the most unpleasant experience of having to go home take tire off and taking it there paying them for new tire $190.00 plus $24.99 shop charges and shop supplies $2.50 to put tire on rim roll it out go home and put the tire on yourself. How are you suppose to want to go back knowing every time you have to go through this. The staff member was excellent, but he has to follow policy which we respect, leading to writing this letter hoping for us poor Canadians to be heard, this is not the first time that I have complained about this same store, other time I stood in line for almost a hour just to get any kind of service, to give my money to your business to buy your tires. Something is seriously wrong here, I hope the board of Directors can look at changing policy or do something to simplify buying a new tire and changing it for you, with out all the red tape. I will in the time being look for other sources to buy my tires and a more stress free business transaction until things improve with "we sale tires see you later bud"!!!!

Apr.,5th 2019. Visited C.T. to have 4 new tires installed, young lady at the service desk was very knowledgeable and helped me select the new tires.
When work was complete, my car was delivered outside. Upon looking at the tires, and at first checking them, I thought they were the same old tires. Closer examination found that it was the Sealing Solution ( Rim to Tire sealant ) that had stained the side wall. Upon returning to the store, I was told that " we don't clean tires".
i said " Surely a new product should look its new, and a customer not have to ask for it to be clean " ? When I arrived home I called the Store Mgr, but got an assistant,( Travis ) who put me through to the service Mgr., ( Amire ?) the same individual who said ( " we don't clean tires" ) All it would have taken was a sorry and have the worker wash down the tires clean before installing them, and the solution dried in. I would not be writing to you except for the fact that I experienced a certain attitude, there was no sorry or have someone make the tires look as if they were a brand new product . Not a very good immage for C.T. customer relationship. Now I'll have to attempt to clean them, if possible. I have photos. How can I recommend C.T. service to my friends. Will I receive a satisfactory response ?

Upon checking out I specifically asked the cashier which card to use to ensure I received Canadian Tire money. I had my VISA and Debit Card both available. She barked back that she doesn't decide how much money to give me the computer tells her. I repeated my request. Again she repeated her response. Finally I got thru to her and she said it didn't matter how I paid - the computer told her how much money to give me back. So I used my VISA. Her face dropped and she mumbled oh it didn't tell me how much to give you so she gave me 10 cents. I spent $42.36 before tax and 10 cents didn't seem correct. So I went over to the service counter. Immediately the girl said oh its your fault you used your VISA. I explained the situation and she cut me off saying that cashier was new. I kept my cool and said that it was fine that she was new, we were all new at one point. I told her I was just asking for the Canadian Tire money as compensation since I specifically asked which card to use to pay. She huffed and puffed and finally gave me a $1.00. She then took two second to speak to the cashier in line and that was it. Both girls were very young and I get that is who you hire part time. But my gosh, some training in customer complaints and resolution is needed. All the cashier had to say was this: "Oh I am new and am not sure but I would be pleased to go and check for you. Do you mind waiting a moment while I do so?". A perfectly acceptable response and we would not have had any of these issues. Training is always the first thing to be cut. But your store in Tsawwassen (Canoe Way) is in desperate need of some.

On Feb 19/19 I took my 2008 Chev. express van into Canadian Tire west in Saskatoon to get a tire repaired, I had reinflated it and matched the pressure to the rt front tire. both valve caps removed in the process. I was contacted that the tire was not repairable and asked my direction. I told them to replace both front tires as I wanted a match for handling. I then went to the store and was advised that a sensor valve had been seized and broke when the valve cap was removed with plyers. I had just put it on with my fingers. I tried to explain that to the service manager who walked away from me, I was then told the overhead door had been dropped on my van damaging the rear corner of it on the right hand side. I looked at the damage and asked how it was possible for a falling door to cause 2 gouges running horizontal across the back of the van door after breaking the fiberglass corner piece, paint photo graphed by myself at the time shows the damage puseerd horizontally from right to left of the vehicle. The service manage told me he would give me the tires free and I could fix the van myself. I refused the offer, knowing the damage was more than the tire. I was then told by the manager to take the vehicle to Lazer autobody in Saskatoon and the store would pay for the repair. I took the van on the 20th to Lazer for an appraisal, which came out to 919.92. I took two copies from them one for myself and the other for Canadian Tire. I have also confirmed that Laze autobody also sent them a copy. I went to the service manager, Curtis and gave him a copy which he thought was too high I pointed out Lazer had given them a discount because of being a regular customer. He authorized the repair and I made an appointment for this morning Mar 11 to get the vehicle repaired. When I arrived at Lazer they said Curtis had not authorized the repair and called him. He denied sending me to them and said for me to take the vehicle to Funn autobody. I spoke to him on the phone and he called me a liar when I said I had been sent there by him. Lazer is not a company I had ever dealt with before as I have a friend that runs a body shop which he had refused. He further stated they had never dealt with Lazer in the past. The owner and bodyman at Lazer said they had done many jobs for Canadian tire. He basically called them liars too I proceeded to The Canadian tire store and asked to speak to him. I asked to have the store manager present which he refused. I repeated he had sent me to Lazer he again denied it he also denied calling lazer to arrange a loaner vehicle for me, which they confirmed. He began shouting at me that I would take it where he told me or it wouldn't get fixed. I wish to file a complaint regarding his abuse and conduct but mostly his lying. There is much more detail which I don't have room here for. The store manager arranged for the repairs to be made but I have had days of my time wasted. been lied too about the whole process. I expect to hear from your company in regards to this issue. I would have contacted the store owner direct but apparently that is impossible.

I have four Cooper Discover A/TW tires on my truck that after 2.5 years and 50,000km the rear tires are completely worn out and the front still have a year or two left. I called the local store to inquire about having two tires installed and was told to bring it in. I use the truck for plowing so I dropped the plow and headed over. I was told by the lady at the counter that they would have to install four tires as this was Canadian Tires policy, I explained I only needed two and didn't want to pay for four when the fronts were still good. She couldn't show me this policy in writing, so I called head office and they had not heard of this. Makes me wonder what would happen if I had one tire blow would they make me buy four? As a business owner in Sudbury who spends over $10,000 a year at these stores I will now have to reconsider where I shop if this is the type of service I get from this store. Very disappointed.

There was a basket of extension cords which had a sale display sign saying $36... So my husband and I grabbed one thinking, that's a great deal. Purchased it on 02/09/2019, went home, opened it, used it. Then on 02/16/2019 I took out my bill because I wanted to return another item. I noticed we were billed $59.98 for the extension cord!! When I went to Canadian Tire, I explained the situation and the manager told me that they cannot honour the price because the extension cord I got wasn't the one on sale. I explained that I got it right out of the bin with the sale price. She rudely told me that it was different and there isn't anything they can do. I asked if I could switch it to get the sale price but I don't have the packaging so her response was no. I expressed how based on the circumstances, that the item was in the sale basket, it's a mastercraft yellow 50' extension cord. The only difference was mine didn't come with a button to lock it, which is actually better. Please, I begged with her that $20 is a lot for me and based on the situation, that if someone put the wrong product in the basket, why would I be penalized for that, is completely unfair and as a dedicated customer I am very disappointed that they would not give me a $20 refund. I asked to speak to another manager and she said sure, so she call another one and on the phone, gave all the details (whispering while I was there watching her). So needless to say the other manager said no as well. NEVER in my time shopping at Canadian tire, have I been so disgusted with the way I was treated. For $20, I spent over 30 minutes pleading my case to which I was rudely turned away. I know that if I was at Home depot, they would NEVER treat me like that. They would have honoured the price based on my situation and circumstances. After all, it was mastercraft, a CANADIAN TIRE BRAND!! I can understand if it was 2 totally different products, but the only difference was a little button on the end that locked the cord together. UNBELIEVABLE!! This is my last attempt to ask that I be refunded for the mistake that was no fault of my own. I have provided the bill for your review. Keep in mind, I just bought a $1500 snow blower from you which I could have easily purchased elsewhere.

*Always advertised items not in stock. Many times wasted with trips to this store and "not in stock" on 1st day of flyer sale
(typical excuses, late delivery, shortage at warehouse, etc.)
* Never any assistance from staff
(hunting staff down, then sent to wrong aisle or ignored when obviously seeking items... wasted time in unhelpful store)
* Useless to call before going, most times NO ONE answers phone and if able to leave message, manager ignores the voice message!
* Don't bother buying here if there's question of returning (for refund, exchange or even a gift card) No flexible at all for customer. Lousy return with a receipt, absolutely NO allowances without, even though positively Cdn. Tire item.
***All in all, worse experiences with every visit! Will not return ever, will go further to a more compliant, amicable customer friendly outlet

J'ai acheté un matelas pneumatique WOOS Nro de série BWNTHO 7736S /2017/05/09 chez vous au printemps 2018 .
Après un usage raisonnable de week-end ce matelas réclame SIX Pièces collantes pour boucher des trous qui se trouvent tous dans les alvéoles et présentes des marques de faiblesse du matériau défectueux. Je dois ajouter, à votre attention, que j'ai acheté des matelas tel que celui,là de marque COLEMAN depuis vingt ans CHEZ VOUS , à votre succursale de St.Jérôme dont j'ai toujours été satisfait dans l'usage similaire c'est-à-dire trois fois par semaine.
Je dois ajouter que les personnes qui l'utilisaient pèsent chacune 48 et 58 kilos et sont octogénaire ? Vous pensez bien que nous ne sautons pas dessus du deuxième étage "pour le fun" ! Je m'attends à ce que vous fassiez le nécessaire auprès de la compagnie WOODS pour que ce malencontreux "citron" soit remplacé par un bon item semblable.
Je dois ajouter que je regrette beaucoup de ne plus trouver le nom de COLEMAN sur vos étagères ?
Bien sûre j'ai essayé en vain de trouver un bureau de plainte à la clientèle sur le site de WOODS SPORT.?
J'attends maintenant votre réponse et vous assure de ma fidèle clientèle...je n'en dirais pas autant de WOODS ! Jean-Pierre Lequéret

I have 2 complaints about 2 different CTC stores. 1) Chatham store - took my 2003 GMC Sierra in to have the serpentine belt replaced almost 1.5 ago, 2 months ago there was a loud squeaking under the hood. Took the truck in for an oil change (NOT AT CTC), and they found the old serpentine belt wedged inside under the engine. YOUR employees just left the old belt in there. I did not call the store, because there is no point, nothing every gets done. 2) Took our 2015 Sonata in to CTC in Blenheim for an oil change, pretty simple stuff. They tore my skid plate off and then told me it was damaged and they couldn't put it back on, took over one hour for an oil change. Didn't look at the sticker they gave me for the next oil change but it was 15,000 KM over what it should have been. Took the car in for another oil change at a different location, they CHECKED EVERYTHING and found that the skid plate had been torn away from the car, they were able to put it back with a lot of work, but it saved us over 300.00 because CTC said we needed a new one. The older gentleman that does the oil changes in Blenheim needs to retire, he has no clue about newer vehicles and instead of taking the bolts out of the skid plate he just ripped it off. I am beyond angered at your service in these two locations. We will never use your service department again. They are the most uncaring, uneducated so called mechanics that I have ever seen. I'm sure nothing will get done as we have complained to CTC in Chatham before, but nothing changes. I don't want anything but an apology and for you to finally educate your mechanics on the proper way of checking to make sure they know what they are doing. This could have been a very expensive oil change had another place would not have fixed the problem with the skid plat

I have never made a complaint to Canadian Tire as it has always been one of our favourite stores.

On 2018 November 29 at approx 8.00 pm, my wife and I attended Canadian Tire on Tecumseh Rd E in Windsor Ontario in order to purchase two different Bissell vacuum cleaners for Xmas gifts. We located an employee who was near the area (later learned to be Sabrina) who advised us she would attend and had us wait in that isle. We waited for approx 15 minutes and realized she was not returning therefore, we attended the service desk to request someone assist us and they paged an employee. After some time the same employee (Sabina) attended rather reluctantly and it appeared that we were bothering her. We remained polite throughout. We purchased one and let the matter rest.
Tonight, 2018 Dec 06, I returned with another family member to purchase another more expensive Vacuum that was on sale from $350.00 but could not locate one. A.young man approx 17 yrs was near the same isle as observed that we needed assistance. He was polite, helpful and called for an employee. The same employee who works that section (Sabina) attended the isle and I politely asked if she could assist me in locating one. She advised me to wait in the isle once more. Again it appeared as if she was annoyed at having to do so. Approx 15-20 min had passed and it was obvious that she was not returning. The same young man was still near the isle and I advised him that she had not returned. He looked surprised. He again called for an employee. After several minutes, the same employee (Sabina) attended with a very sour look on her face. When we realized it was the same employee with the same poor attitude, I refused to be helped by her and advised her that I would do it on my own since I waited 20 minutes for her again.. I subsequently - with difficulty, found the vacuum and purchased one. I located that same fine young man and thanked him repeatedly for his help. I also advised him what had transpired because I overheard Sabina bullying him and making excuses stating that we did not need her.
I am 57 yrs old and respect that stress can affect us all but, please recognize that the store was practically empty. I remain so offended by this woman that I have resorted to submitting a complaint like this. I understand that we all are taught to take a cool down period before acting on our impulses but, I cannot help myself on this one. I have been a loyal customer of Canadian Tire since I was a teenager and have always been more than happy with the service I received in the past. I have always been respectful to your employees and received that respect in return.

I thank you in advance. Respectfully,

I am a frequent customer at the Canadian Tire store at 8181 Campeau Drive Kanata, ON K2T 1B7.
Staff is generally friendly and competent. On Black Friday (Nov, 23, 2018) I was served at the cash by a young lady called Maria and I decided to write this note because it is rare to receive such a great service. She was quick, decisive, and very helpful, considering how crowded the cashes were. I signed up for a Triangle card and gentlemen who took my info was suppose to meet me at the cash to apply my discount but he did not show up. Maria, with no hesitation, locked her cash and within seconds came back with the man and finalized the transaction without a glitch. All that with smile and efficiency. She made me feel special.

I was in your store today 1975 Dundas St. East London Ontario my purchase was $1018.12 + tax used my Ontario Status card the cashier put it through but did not know how to fill out form asked for help and my card was then rejected after I already payed. I used my status card in August and it accepted then in September it was rejected. Just used it on Friday November 23/18 and it was accepted with supervisors ok now today Sunday November 25/18 it was rejected. I was told just because it looks like an Alberta card they cannot accept it. My card is from the Algonquin area here in Ontario not from Alberta. This is BULL SHIT and I will NOT be shopping at any off your locations ever again. not even really sure if the money was put back on my credit card after being rejected. May have been double charged but won't know for 3 - 15 business days.

Attached is photos of my friday receipt sunday receipt sunday void and both sides of my status card.

As you can see on the top of my card it says Algonquin First Nation witch again is in Ontario not Alberta so my card should be accepted in all your stores.

Employees need to get their SHIT together on these things.

Just pissed off a customer twice over this since September

Hope something will be done about this

I had been in this Canadian Tire store several times that week. I'm a big sale person. I pick out what I want in your store and wait for it to go on sale. I was looking for a folding table that was on sale. As I was walking around the store I checked out for an air mattress to see what was available. You had one exactly like I was looking for on sale for $57.00. While I was thinking about it I went looking for the table and I couldn't find one. When I finally did find one I had forgotten about the air mattress. I didn't remember until I was parking at home. I figured it would still be on sale in the morning so I would go over and get it. The next day didn't work as planned and I was not able to make it back to Canadian Tire. I went back the next day (3rd day) and to my surprise it was still on sale. I grabbed it and brought it to the counter. The girl punches it in and she wants over $100.00?? I said no it's on sale for $57.00. She looks around then says ok, can you go get the tag. OK so I went and got the tag. She looks at the tag and says something about the wrong color so that can't be it. I said well it is the only Tag there and it is on more then one of the same product under the same tag? So we decided to call a manager over. So he comes over and she hands him the tag and he immediately starts lecturing me on tag etiquette. He says the first thing you never do is bring the tag to the front, how do I know where you really got it from? So now I am stupid and a thief according to him. Before he can continue his lecture the Cashier says I told him to go get the tag. He looks at me and says I can't give it to you at this price. I said that tag has been on the items all week if not the previous weekend also. I know it has been on all this week so far because this is my third trip to pick it up. He says ok wait a minute and walks away. He comes back about 10 minutes later and gives me a price of $115.00. You guy's should have seen that tag long before I did, your in the store all week. He says he can't do anything for me. So I asked for the owners number and he said it won't help you anyway he's on holidays. So I asked for the head office number and got that.
This is not the first time I have had problems at this store. I tried to return A set of brake pads I did not need once about a week after I bought it and they refuse to take it back. The box was open and there was a little grease from my hands on the box. I had wiped it off but it wasn't totally clean. It was a planii white box! They said the pads looked used? I never took them out of the box really. And when I went to talk to the Manger or owner of the Store , not sure what he was but he had a real bad attitude and made me start to heat up and the situation was getting worse. So I Just left. I took the Brake Pads to the Orleans store to see if they would take it back. I told them I tried to take it back at the store where I bought them but they refused to take them back saying they were used! The guy looked them over and he said there is nothing wrong with them and you can tell they have not been used. So they took them back for me. If they weren't so far from me I would have continued shopping there.
They had more then enough time to get that tag off the item and I feel they should have given me that air mattress at the sale price advertised. If not then I simply will not shop at Canadian Tire again, and I don't mean just that store. I am tired of getting screwed around for my money and retail stores like yours (this one) have gotten much worse where Customer Support or Customer Service is concerned. These days is seems the Customer is always wrong until proven right, it shouldn't be that way. If you ask someone where something is in this store they don't take you there they point to an isle whether it's 2 isles away or 10 isles away. You usually have to go get someon eventually because nothing is ever where it is suppose to be.

Horid way to run a business. Automotive booked me in for Monday @ 10 am for a $1300 tire job. Showed up and the tried to say it was Tuesday after me taking a day off. No offer to help...just see ya tomorrow. My phone and calendar were both marked the day I booked it. Will never darken their door again.

My husband purchased a Meter saw on October 17th 2018, after opening the item, he noticed the item was used and the blade was rusted. On October 18th 2018 I went to return the item at the Canadian store located in Gatineau Quebec, Le Plateau Hull. I explained that the item was used and the blade was rusted. The employee than opened the box and called in other employees to look at the item. She came back and told me that the item can not be refunded but will be credited because it looks used and the blade is rusted. I explained to her, that's how it was when My husband purchased it and that is the reason why I am returning it. She than spoke to my husband over the phone, he explained the situation to her, and she kept saying that she can only provide a credit because the item looks used. She than told my husband if he wanted another one that would be ok. She told him, she will grab another one and open it infront of me to make sure its good condition. While I sat there and waited, She opened the box and taped it back without even showing it to me. I immediately told her I would like to take a look at it before I decide to exchange. She got mad and told me she looked at it and it looked new. I insisted. She than went and opened it and showed me the item. It did look used, there were scratches and black stains on it, and I told her that, but she said no its new, the blade looks new. I told her that I did not want it as it looked used. She got upset and kept talking in french, knowing that I dont speak french very well. I felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed because she basically accused me of lying. I am so upset because I always shop at the Canadian tire stores. I am humiliated as there were people standing and waiting and she just kept saying its used and I cant refund you. I am asking for some type of compensation for the way I was treated, Perhaps its because I am from different background and she thinks that she can treat me in that unprofessional manner.

I would appreciate someone taking care of this matter. Being humilated infront of others and basically accused that I was lying is unacceptable.

Thank you,

We got a flyer in the mail on Friday with a sale on tires . On Sunday the only day I have off work I went to buy 4 tires and an alignment they tell me they don't have any in stock. So they check all the other stores and they don't have any either and never did have them in stock. They told me they have to order them.How can you have a sale and not have any in stock.And Canadian stores wonder why we buy American. I drove a half hr to get here at opening all a waste of my time

bought a car starter ,tried to return my old one for the core charge last night, after an hour of watching the auto parts guys hiding from me I left . took it back today with a run around again I ended up just leaving it there. this cost me 250 today in lost wages plus my core charge and my time last night. The lack of training and lazy people in the Orangeville store is horrible.i will never shop with you guys again

I went to the Canadian Tire store at McCowan and Sheppard Avenues in Scarborough at about 12:50 p.m. on Tues., July 24, to return a kettle. I had taken the kettle out of the box, and discovered that I had bought the wrong one. I wanted a kettle with a base that plugs in, not a kettle that plugs directly into an outlet. The woman at the Returns desk took the kettle out and inspected it. She said "It's been used". NO, it had not been used. She called someone else and the other woman agreed.....it had been used. I told both of them half a dozen times that it had not been used and they told me half a dozen times that it had been. So actually they were calling me a liar. That did not sit well with me. This was not the store where I had purchased the kettle, so after five minutes of humiliation, I took the kettle and went to the store on Eglinton where I had purchased it.
The woman there was most pleasant. She didn't inspect the kettle with a fine toothed comb. She took my word for it that it had NOT been used. My experiences were like night and day. I now have no interest in going to the McCowan and Sheppard store where they employ rude people.
Those two women did absolutely nothing for Canadian Tire public relations today.

I have been to the two stores in Cambridge ont.the differance is like day and night I worked for ctc many years ago and if I was as sloppy and ignorant as some of the staff I would have had my butt put out of the store so fast .the store is such a mess things are not we're they should be I have spoken to many who feel the same I will not go near that place again it is on Dundas st. 519 2677119. thank you.

I just want to let you know that the washrooms in all the Canadian tires that I shop are filthy. There are the worst washrooms in all the stores I shop.

while waiting for my fathers car to be serviced ,my mom da and my granddaughter did some shopping in the store KELOWNA CANADIAN TIRE in BC. as we approached the till my granddaughter placed the bottle of water on the till. there was a lady in the process of receiving her receipt,clearly she was done! the girl at the till was very annoyed with us . told me not to place anything until she was done .....the lady in front of us was going towards the exit.I took the bottle of water off the till. the teller in a very annoying manner said" and actually you should be waiting over there until I summon you"....I admit I got annoyed now, so I pushed my cart back and I asked her if I can proceed to her till ,well that just shot her rocket. she right out tells me "fuck off ,I quit" . I was shocked! the manager was called ,by the name of Kent he refused to give me his last name when I later inquired, he kept telling me to calm down,I said I was very calm since I was told to F...Off by his teller, and that he was just aggravating the matter .I asked him how he was going to deal with the matter since the teller denied telling me that he was very rude and said "now you are telling me WHAT TO DO" I said absolutely not...but do you value my business or should I go else where I turned to my mother and asked her to help me put everything back in their place from my shopping cart. his reply was "leave it here I will do it". well I said NO I will make my purchase. he called someone to the till.no apology of any sort and walked AWAY!
I feel I have to place a complaint because in all my years of being a consumer I have never had a problem or complaints with anyone EVER,I am a lady and have always been treated as such ,expect for your teller by the name of Hailley.
thank you for reading this complaint Antonia Choriatis my phone is 250 766 6766

Yesterday I spent $425 on a pool and a salt water starter pool kit. This morning when I opened it the Quick Clear strips where missing. I called the store this morning to Let them know of this. I was told to bring my reicept in and they would replace the item. I brought my reicept in and I was told they had none in stock. I live 40 minutes away from the store so I was a bit upset about driving all the way there for nothing. When I got home I was looking online and it said they had 4 in stock. I called the store and the girl confirmed they had some in stock. She said I could come into the store to pick it up. I'm quite upset about this. I live 40 minutes away and the product itself is worth $10. I have spent more in gas driving back and forth then the product is worth. Moral of the story is I spent $425 dollars and I think I should compensated for all the inconvenience.
Thank you for understanding.

Abbotsford auto dept
asked for a bra for mazda 3 the person did not even know what it was I wanted to order
today wanted to buy wheel covers and asked what the charge would be to install and immediately was told or they are just hubcaps got into a discussion and told them they are bolted and was told they are decoration
they are bolted
I used to work in auto parts and at my fathers auto body shop was treated like a crazy old lady that knows nothing I could work rings around the 3 there
what does Canadian tire even do now
I am really not satisfied the manager I spoke to did not try to fix it
abbotsford auto gets a big fat zero

purchased a gazebo over a month ago paid for the gazebo and the cost of installation,
first attempt for installation was 3 weeks from purchase, installers arrived and were not able to install due to the fact that we had some
patio furniture that they would not move( they have a no moving of furniture policy) they said they would be back the following week
and we were okay with that however we received a call and said they wouldn't be able to do it till June 29th another 2 weeks of waiting
today is the 29th we received a call that they had to cancel, we are terribly dissapointed, as we have guests coming and no gazebo!
this was purchased at the Stratford store

Appreciate all the feedback and I should be clear this was not a result of me getting them to work on my vehicle but an act to prevent me from leaving the property.
I am in need of advice and guidance so any input would be very much appreciated. I have contacted Canadian Tire Head office to file a complaint, Asked the Moncton RCMP to charge the Canadian Tire Employee who was responsible also not sure it should be mentioned but I was denied the right to have a different RCMP officer present because I felt he was acting biased to the situation and was told a supervisor would contact me and that never happen also and I contacted my Insurance Brooker to file a claim for vandalism. After hours on the phone, I still feel that this situation is not being handled correctly. I am on Kijiji hoping I can get some feedback on what I should do. On Friday, May 11th, 2019 at 3 pm I went to Canadian Tire at 525 Pinewood Rd, Riverview NB I was inside the store when I notice the Canadian Tire Employee in the second picture kneeling down by my Tire in the parking lot. I immediately ran out of the store to confront the worker and he stated he has taken tire stem pin out of my tire when I asked him why he replied that he owned the store and property and he could do what he wanted to my car because it was on his property. I was able to stop leak in the tire by taking the cap off front tire and proceeded to move my car away from him to the parking spot ahead of me when my car pulled really hard to the right and I heard a horrible noise from the right side of my car so I then stopped to get out and inspect the vehicle when Canadian Tire employee told me he did it to my other 2 tires as well. So to sum up a very long and dramatic story is that a Canadian Tire Employee Vandalized my vehicle while I was inside the store to a point it could have caused harm to me or visiting customers. Appreciate and thank you for taking the time to read my ad.

I went into the Canadian tire store in Mission to purchase two Michelin radial tires to replace the two front tires on a Toyota Camry, after one front tire received a puncture threw the sidewall. I dealt with the manager of the service department and requested two tires to replace the ones on the drive axles that had not been properly rotated by the previous owner of the car, who had purchased the Michelin tires from Canadian tire. I was told the tires had been discontinued and was advised of an equivalent replacement tire Michelin makes. I purchased two tires and had them mounted and balanced on the summer rims as I was running the four winter tires and rims, and for them to dispose of the old tires. I took the tires I had purchased home and put them with the two other summer tires that were in storage wraps. A few days latter I went to change all four wheels myself, (I am a fully licensed interprovincial auto mechanic with license's as a stationary engineer and a marine mechanic with a license as a marine mechanic recognized anywhere in the British Commonwealth for marine) I do not let anyone touch a car or boat I will be operating, I found the two other summer radials were warn to a point that I would not install them. So I went back to the Canadian tire store in Mission and asked the service manager for two more matching Michelin tires. He informed me that they did not have anymore and that particular tire he sold me was discontinued, that is why they were on sale. I informed him that if I had been told that when I purchased them I would never have purchased them to begin with. I was getting annoyed and asked him to look up if any other Canadian tire store had two of them. He looked it up and said the store in Port Coquitlam had two. I asked him if he could have them sent to the Mission store? He said No. I asked him to phone the Port Coquitlam store and have them set out for me to pick up and bring them back to the Mission store to be mounted and balanced. He did that for me and I drove over sixty kilometers round trip to pick them up and return to the Mission store to have them mounted and balanced, like the first two I had purchased there. Upon my return the service manager informed me that his other mechanical person had phoned in sick. I said okay they did not have to be mounted today for him to please phone me when they were mounted and I would come and pick them up, plus the other two tires they were removing as I wanted them for trailer tires. On the trailer I tow with the Camry, he said okay he would. I returned two days latter to see what was happening with my tires! I entered the service department to find it deserted and began looking for someone to help me (so were two other customers) I found a service writer playing on his cellphone in the managers office! I informed him I was looking for my tires, he then found them mounted and sitting in the shop. I asked him for my mounted tires and the two that had been removed that I had asked the service manager to keep for me for trailer tires. He said that he thought they had not been "saved" for me to come back another day and talk to the service manager. I was getting mad but did not raise my voice or say anything to him. I simply asked for the bill and my tires! He could not find the bill and asked for my name? I told him my name and he tried looking it up but could not find it. He asked me for my name again and I repeated it to him, then I spelled it to him. He still could not find it. He then made a phone call to someone who I presume was the service manager and after being directed several times by the person on the other end of the phone he found the unprinted bill and I paid it, with my options master card. At this point another employee walked up and tried asking me if I was interested in a Canadian Tire card to earn extra points. I told her no! I was going home to cancel my options master card and write a very nasty letter to Canadian tire after my experience! Then the service writer wheeled my tires to the counter and began to walk off! I stopped him and asked him for my copy of the "Bill" he then returned and gave me my copy of the "Bill" but not the tires they had removed, I asked him again where my tires were that they had removed he then said again he thought that they had been thrown out for me to come back and ask the service manager, I told him to write a note to the service manager to phone me and explain where my tires were that had been removed! I was going home to cancel my options master card! I came home and phoned the number on the back of my card to cancel my card and complain about the rotten service I was having with the Mission Canadian Tire store. The poor woman who answered the phone explained she had nothing to do with Canadian Tire and that I would have to phone tomorrow to get a pay out. She said she had nothing to do with Canadian Tire, that she worked for MasterCard and gave me a number to phone tomorrow to report what had happened to Canadian Tire and that they were eastern time four hours ahead of western time, so the Canadian Tire service that I would have to phone was closed and for me to phone tomorrow to complain and cancel my card. She then said for me to phone back tomorrow to get a payout and cancel my card with MasterCard. I came home and phoned the police officer I had purchased the car from and he told me it had been a horror show when he purchased the tires from Canadian Tire, that he had returned several times to the store to get the original set of tires rebalanced because they thumped after installation and that he had to go to a different tire store to get them balanced properly! He then told me he would never deal with Canadian Tire again!

Hi complaint department.
Recently I purchased an garage door opener from the Beacon hill store. the Master Craft Garage Door Keyless Entry System model number 046-0506-0.
I have had nothing but trouble with the operation of this unit. I have had to contact Skylink to get it replaced twice. I am now on my third Garage Door Opener (GDO).
The system keeps losing its distant travel settings. Leaving my garage door always open. Only this time after I left the door reopened and my garage was open to anyone that would take advantage of this. This resulted in my mountain bike being stolen. I hold your faulty product responsible. If your door worked like you claim it should I would still have a bike. In good business practice as well as customer relations I believe Supplier (Canadian Tire) should replace my bike.

Very unimpressed with the product.

I went into the Canadian Tire store at Findlay Creek Ottawa to look at Snowblowers..I saw one for 899.[and some cents] and decided thats the one...When I asked for assistance they informed me the price shown was the wrong tag..??? so I said well this one says 899.and this is the one I want..to make a long story short they refused to honor the price that was fixed on the machine..I could have it for 999.[and some cents] To err is human they said and they could not help me...needless to say was not impressed and walked out the door..Before that I said I would like to speak to the manager and the gentleman said he was the manager so I asked to speak to the owner but he wasnt in the store..I think if there is a big ticket stating the price in floresent green ..that should be the price and they should honor it and if it was a mislabeled item they can fix it after they honor the one I wanted..Terrible customer service..Wish I had a photo but dont have a cell phone..

I , as .a taxi owner purchase anywhere between 4000 to 5000 dollar a month in gas from your gas bar. Also we purchase a lot of parts from your store. January 2015 I purchased a battery with a 3 yr replacement warranty. One of my cabs were acting up which ended up being the battery. I took it into your Amherst branch today and as we were doing the paperwork up for the replacement, the attendant said oh sorry we cant replace this , you are approx. 2 wks past your replacement warranty. the tag on the battery says 05/15. She then proceeded to tell me a new battery would be 170.00
or so. I was really upset with this. for what I spend at your location. So I took my old battery back and purchased a new one down the street at a cheaper price. I am still upset over this and I'm really contemplating on purchasing my gas else where now.

went to Canadian tire today for 3 sale items and today was the first day of sale. all 3 items were out of stock. my biggest item was a 55 inch tv. the sku # was 39912946. they said there was none available till dec30. this is not the first time this has happened to me. I spend a lot of money a year at Canadian tire. today was a promo card day spend $200 get $50 back. these items were a special buy so no reinchecks are available. I think inventory in the stores should b checked before it becomes a flyer item. there has been times where I have showed up to a store and they said computer says we have 3 but there is none...

20

went to Canadian tire today at 930 am for 3 sale items. today was the 1st day for the flyer. not 1 of the items were in stock. this is not the first time this has happened. the 1 was a purchase for a 55 INCH TV.stock number is 399-1294-6....... THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A TV AVAILABLE in Calgary until DEC 30.THEY SAID THERE WAS 1 AVAILABLE IN OKATOKS. I called and they said they didn't have 1. today was a 1 day promo that if u purchased $200 or more u would receive a $50 card.. well walked out empty handed. I spend a lot of money at Canadian tire each year and sometimes its the only flyer I look at.. I think inventory should be checked more closely before it becomes a flyer item. this happens to often

After 20 days of waiting for my appointment I went to do the winter package to know later that they only changed the oil without doing any of the other jobs Paid around 200 to fix a noise coming from the front left wheel which was not fixed When I followed up they said there's no sound and the car is good as if they're deaf..... Waited for 4 hours for an oil change while already having an appointment.. Canadian Tire POLOPARK WINNIPEG

I took 3 tires to Truro NS store to be put on rims and balanced. The next morning one of the tires were leaking around the rim. My husband simply poured water around the rim and in 2 places there were bubbles. obviously this was not done at the garage ...Today is Sunday and I cannot get this fixed until tomorrow. I am not happy

20

Discrimination for wearing back pack. I have to because I daytrip from out of town. Manager extremely inflexible and rude at Cobourg Canadian Tire when I phoned about being able to make a purchase and that I have medical reasons for needing to carry my backpack in town. I am unwilling to take it off and be humiliated to purchase one single item. I will be exploring other leak and civil litigation options for taking this further including launching a social media boycott.

On August 31, 2017 my husband purchased a T-Fal Pressure from the Centrepoint store as a gift for me. I was not able to figure out how to use it and when I examined it further it looked used. On September 3, 2017 I decided that I would return it as I was going out of the country and did not have the time to figure it out. The person at the return desk said he could not take the item back and he along with another employee insisted that the item could not have been used when I bought it. I told them that was how I took it from the shelf and there was only one of the item. Since I could not use the item, I left it on the counter with no refund. My husband paid $139.99 plus tax for this item and this is not the first time that I have bought things at Canadian tire that either did not work or was used. As a matter of fact I bought some solar lights last year and took them oversees and to this day they have not worked. I didn't even bother to return them.

The staff that I dealt with at this store at Yonge and Steeles were lacking in customer service skills and for this reason I will no longer go to that store. I will also encourage my husband to cancel the credit card that he just acquired.

I have dealt with Canadian Tire for many years and this experience was both costly and unpleasant. Thank you.

I had a fuel pump replaced at your Fort St.John BC location and was shocked by the gross negligence and utter incompetence of your service department. I filled the tank as it was low (required for tank removal), only to find it half empty the next morning with a large puddle of gasoline
under it. I visited the store and spoke with Steve Adams, service adviser who was off the day my van was serviced. When he inquired, the clown
responsible said he couldn't locate a grommet so they just reassembled the vehicle without it leaving an open fuel tank and extreme hazard risking
major lawsuits and prison. I acquired the part online and the manager wants me to pay for the time to rectify the blunder, which Steve got down to
half but it still adds insult to injury. I suggest immediate attention to this matter.

This is not a complaint but just the opposite on Nov. 24 at the East Windsor store I had purchased 5 items from the store but when I arrived at my car I only had 2 items. When I returned to the store the remainder of my items were no where to be found. I went to the front desk to complain and I am not sure of her position but Connie with her quick response was able to assist me in getting my remaining items and making it a great day instead of a bad day.

It is now the time of year to have our snow tires put on. Many times before I have just showed up early in the morning (by 10 AM) at Canadian Tire on Fairview St. Service Dept. in Burlington and for something like this no problem, no appointment, they will take me and I can wait.

So, this morning I go in, I stand and wait 10 minutes and no one acknowledges me (the managers were playing around with their computers when they saw me standing there), then I finally get acknowledged, I explain that I only need my summers exchanged with my winters (which were loaded in my car by the way) and the 1st thing he says is, do you have an appointment, i say no but didn't think I needed one to change my tires since I have done it in the past with no appointment. He says, I am booked with no sorry, and looks at me like get lost, so I leave and on the way out say why did I waist my time coming to a place where it is obvious that they do not understand customer service.

There were also 2 bays unoccupied when I dropped in. My work would have taken 20 minutes. oh, well, Green and Ross took my business. Don't know why on such easy and non-time consuming work the manager would have that attitude. I thought Canadian Tire stood for tires, and when I come in regarding tires, I get the cold shoulder. Do you treat all your customers this way. Concerned, Canadian Tire is a big company.

I entered Canadian Tire with my 3 children to pick up a couple of things as I always do. I always loved the atmosphere of the store. My children and I looked through some of the Halloween decorations and proceeded through the store to purchase an indoor wood storage shelf. We found exactly what we were looking for, grabbed a couple of snacks for the kids then, on to the till to pay for our items. We had to wait in line for out turn. When our turn came I placed my items on the tray and reached in my side bag to grab my wallet.

It was then I was asked to open my bag so that the employee could see inside. I was shocked and offended by his request but, I worked in retail through college and understood the job. As soon as I opened my bag I believe the employee could sense my frustration. To calm things the employee said " It’s just that we have had a lot of thefts here". He then said "Some Indian snuck a chainsaw out in his bag, so we have been checking everyone".

My children and I are first Nations. I had to spend the next 30 minutes explaining to my children that ignorance and injustice is still in the hearts of some people. This bigot staffed by the Canadian tire corporation tore down in seconds an idea of pleasant human nature that my family and I have been building for my children.

I am a counselor for a local Indian Band, I run and own an ICBC approved driving school; I sit on several boards within my community and work with children and families in my community. Not only will I never shop in that Canadian Tire again, but I will be sharing my story with whomever will listen(Including local and Provincial newspapers) so that they will never have to go through the same experience as me and my children.

Not sure what experience you ask to be rated. Twice in one week I have returned home to find missing parts in a package that appears to be sealed and only could I have noticed in store if I had opened the packages that both contain small parts. Both packages appear to be the type that were likely opened in store. I am more frustrated with the understanding that so many people steal than I am with Canadian Tire Security. I have my receipts and could return to the store but the drive is more expensive than the refund and I am sure that is also a form of stealing at times. What can you do and what do you do to combat this type of theft?

I have been waiting for my order since Sept 14. The item that I ordered should have been ready for pick-up on Sept 19 at the St. James location in Winnipeg. Today is now Sept. 27. Canadian Tire does not tell me what is causing the delay. It has taken two weeks to order one tire. All they say at the Canadian Tire Customer Service is that the order is in progress. I am getting very frustrated with their very poor service.

I bought an item couple of weeks back and went to return the item. The item was never opened at my end at all. Today, I went to Canadian Tire outlet at Confederation saskatoon and asked the customer service lady for a return. The lady opened the item with a cutter and discussed with an elderly lady namely Annett S ( according to her name plate ). Annette showed up and said you have opened it and there is a drop of oil and blamed me for using it and bringing back. I got upset and shared with her politely that Madam I never opened and told her that " I dont lie". She was persistent and kept saying that you have used it and it can never be returned. I even mentioned that I swear I never opened but she was adamant.

I got upset and left the place saying you could keep money and the item. Therein I met another employee and asked if I could talk to some manager or supervisor. He directed me again to see customer service. I came back and asked Annette S to make me talk to Manager. She called some one and told about the return of an item. She, then returned me money back. This all made me so upset that on the way back, I hardly escaped an accident. The agony and pain I have gone through is unimaginable.

I have a picture of the item and the tag and sharing the same here. I can only doubt that either the same item was returned by some one and later on sold to me as I did see one drop of oil in the item. I wonder as to how a reputable corporation could treat its customer to such level? In front of so many people I was being blamed and I feel so bad thinking about this incidence. I am ready to pay any compensation if I am at fault and if not then please dig into matter as to how this item was sold to me after being used and returned by some one prior to me? This will help me a lot as I am still in great agony n pain. Thanks. PS attached item tag photos.Such investigation could give a better picture to the customers that there are some responsible people at the highest level. Not to forget the duty manager who at least did ask her to return the money for his or her benign act.

During the afternoon on September 18, I visited my local Canadian tire in Bowmanville to buy oil change items and brake parts for my six year old Toyota Camry. The disappointment was from the sales associate at the automotive parts counter, brake parts partial stock was minor disappointment, he checked other locations for stock, yet front pads and rotors, those inventories were partial too. I mentioned okay, will inventory arrive later this week?

The sales associate wasn't reassuring about when stock would be replenished, he did mention that they don't ship items from other stores, I mentioned "okay next week probably?" and that wasn't assured, so I carted off my other items to checkout. I have been a loyal Canadian tire customer for many years, purchasing automotive parts, it wasn't the shortage that bothered me, it was the lack of proactive response to see that those items could be ordered, that's all I requested.

I got a set of tools from a friend as a reward for doing some brake work on his car. I already have these tools in my collection from Canadian Tire and wanted to return the set without a receipt, only to find out that Canadian Tire offers a return the Last Lowest Sale price on the item.

Now this item is on sale today at $149.00 for the Mastercraft Impact Socket Set 119 pcs. But the customer service manager at Millwoods town centre in Edmonton was insistent in giving me only 79.99 as a return. I find this to be insulting and demeaning since the item is on sale for $149.99 as of today Thursday. Why is canadian tire treating people like criminals when I am explaining my reason for not having a receipt.

I buy 90% of my tools from Canadian Tire and I am feeling like never going there again based on this one experience. What awful customer service. Neither of the staff could produce to me a copy of the return policy that states that without a receipt you only get the Last Lowest Sale price. Most place that you go to is the last sale price. And to offer a customer half of the present sale price is disturbing and insulting.

My question is, does Canadian Tire have such a policy on their returns. Please email me a copy of such written rule. I did ask to speak to the manager but the first customer service staff made a call, (which I found out talking to both of them) that she called the supervisor who already knew all of this information. So I never got to talk to the manager and I was frustrated and as as result late for work because of this long waiting time. Please reply to my email asap!

I bought a saw on sale from Canadian Tire. I brought it home and after only a few uses, it stopped working. I brought it back to the Canadian Tire where I purchased it and was told that I could only get an exchange and not a refund. They did not have one in stock, so they took my saw and gave me a raincheck.

A week later, I called to see if they had one in stock yet, only to be told that I had to pick up my saw and take it to another store (who had one in stock) to exchange it. When I asked if they could just call the other store and tell them that they had my saw and that I could just pick the new one up, they said they couldn't. They also couldn't ship the new saw to the current store. Obviously, this is a huge hassle for me and my project has been delayed by over a week! I am very disappointed and frustrated with the lack of assistance I received.

Have feedback for Canadian Tire?
