Canadian Tire #280 - Stouffville ON - Complaint. Rude Unethical Behavior of a Customer Service Rep/Manager. On July 8, 2016 at 8:18AM, Friday I went in to Stouffville Canadian Tire Branch to return the defective swim shoes I purchased a day before. I lined up, when it’s my turn the Customer Service Representative/ Manager Jessica M. asked what’s wrong with it so I said “there’s a defect on the item I’d like to exchange it”. She asked me to get another pair so I did, it only took me less than a minute to get another pair as it’s not very far. So when I came back to her she’s attending another customer which is understandable so I waited for her to finish.

I also tried to wave at her with the replacement shoes that she told me to grab to let her know but she ignored me pretending not to see me even I’m just literally 3 feet away from her (behind the customer she was attending). When she was done with that customer, I said to her that “I got the shoes” and she told me rudely that “there’s another customer here waiting” so I said, “But I’m here first, Isn’t it first come first serve?”. She ignored me again and basically made me line up again. When it’s finally my turn I said to her that “I don’t think your being fair as I came here first and you made me line up again.

It should be first come first serve basis. You even took my receipt and item for exchange (in my normal tone).” She abruptly said “ You’re almost done right?”. Slammed the receipt on me to sign it and said “Have a good day!” rudely. I just walked away shocked on what just happened as I am not expecting this unethical behavior especially from a Manager. This is NOT acceptable. I'm or was a regular customer in this branch. This is not the first time that this Customer Service Representative/ Manager Jessica M. has had this attitude towards a customer. I will be consulting a lawyer regarding this matter.

I went to Canadian Tire North Bay Ontario to have two front Hub Bearings changed . The service rep. said there were two types of Bearings good or Best I said the best,which was 224.99 for Moog bearing. I find out after everyone else for the same model #moog-512460 was 160.80 to 161.00 you people are supposed to have competitive pricing. This customer is not very happy. I will surely check elsewhere for parts before you work on my 2- 2012 vehicles in North Bay Ontario.

Purchased hose on June1 2016. Had problems from the beginning with the hose twisting and had to keep fixing it all the time. Terrible hose. I returned it to Sackville, NS store today which is 3 weeks later along with my receipt and was told that I could not get a refund because I do not have the box it came in. So I asked for a credit note and they would not do that either. I was told that I had to purchase something for the same amount in their store that day. I was not a happy customer as I had a busy day ahead of me and I did not want to spend time shopping for something I did not need.

Finally I just picked up small cleaning items and a reel to fill the amount. I had to go back twice for other items as it was not enough. Finally they gave me .40 cents cash so that I could leave the store. It was embarrassing as I had done nothing wrong and had my receipt and was treated like I had done something wrong......Someone needs to check out the staff there especially management as I asked to speak to the manager and got someone else. Terrible, Terrible experience. I will get my items at Walmart from now on.

On March 31 2016 I ordered a door handle for my 2009 Hyundai Tucson passenger rear out handle at store 754 3173 Winston Churchill blvd at the cost was 66.11. I said to go ahead it took 5 weeks till I finally got it but in between the extended time to arrive someone cancelled the order through a third party I was not impressed so they went ahead to get the part I needed.

I haves received it they guarantee me it would fit so I took the car to the shop later that day the mechanic told me it didn't fit also got the part painted to match the car now I went back to the store to complain that it didn't fit so I got refused for a refund telling me there is a restocking plus it was painted.

I said to the manager you have a 90 day warranty on that part it turn out to be defective so the manager said let me get back to you so 2 days later I got the results they were going to give me a 10 dollar gift card. I said no I would like a full refund this is not my fault that the part is defective I am writing to the head office that I am nota satisfied customer at all please let's resolve this matter ASAP thank you peter

I was at one of your stores in Hamilton on Barton street east as I was in Hamilton at a function. I stopped in and found a car seat that I thought was super cool and the price said $119.99 which I thought was a great price. As I brought it to self checkout it scanned at 179.99 I brought it to the attention of the girl working at self checkout who got a lady named Jeanette to go look. I went with her to show her where I got it and she said no that's not the price but she couldn't find a price for it so said that's the price and where you got it was overstock.

Back to self checkout where a girl from customer service tried to be quiet and said they are just trying to get it cheaper. At that point I was pissed at how rude these people were. So I went online and found it cheaper than 179 at another Canadian retailer in which I was then told by Jeanette that I couldn't price match that store as it was an outlet. I told her it wasn't a outlet in which she looked at me and said I said no we are not price matching. I have never dealt with a more rude bunch of people in my life. I called and spoke to the store manager who was super nice and said to submit a complaint and the general manager would call me.

I have been going to Canadian Tire Service Center ever since you opened for service in Chateauguay Quebec ..even when they dropped my F-150 off the lift 16 inches off the cement floor (minor damage) I still went back, even when they put the wrong oil filter in my Saturn, two quarts in my driveway. I still went back, today I brought my fiat in for a wheel alignment. I'm 62 years old and have always been able to see the work being done on my vehicles, this time a 25 year old manager told me I had to wait in the waiting room. I informed him of the consumer protection act. I have the right to see what's being done to my vehicle,he laughs, this is unexceptionable. My family's three vehicles will no longer be serviced by Canadian Tire.

To whom it may concern: This is 2016. Why are Canadian Tire rest rooms trapped in the 1950's? Come on Canadian Tire executives. Your rest rooms are dirty, smelly and locked! Your store sells almost everything. You are a big boy store now, just like the big guys. Why do you regard toilets as if they belonged in a distant, solitary, dirty, nameless gas station from 1950? I don't know which vice president thinks that this is acceptable. Fix your rest rooms. Update them. You'll be doing yourselves a big business favor.

Also, when registering for wedding, shower or whatever gift lists, use a damned computer and make it universally accessible. Major retailers have already invented this wheel. All you have to do is copy it. Get on the same page as all other retailers, would you. Your system is about as close to carving on stone tablets as it can get.

Very disappointed in shopping in Medicine Hat Canadian Tire store on Thursday , April 21st and spending more than $200 on items to find out they ran out of their $50 promo cards. Had I known, I should have bought my batteries from battery direct instead of making a special trip to this store. Won't make this mistake in the future and won't bother with their promotions since they don't seem to have enough cards in supply.

To Whom It May Concern. I am a long time and a very loyal customer of “Canadian Tire” company and was very upset when recently (October 10th, 2015) purchased snow blower product (Yardworks) only to have it be defective. First problem started to appear immediately with the first real usage (snow blizzard) on January 11th.The machine did not start to work. I noticed that there were signs of rust in the fuel tank. I was surprised - I kept the snow blower inside my heated garage with constant temperature. I wanted to return the product, but manager of the store (Mr. Jason -70 Lacewood Drive, Halifax NS B3M 2P1) refused to receive the product (91 day since the purchase) and advised me to speak to “Green Diamond” service company.

The company checked the product and found that it had old gas inside and the repair cost me $176.42 (not covered by warranty).On my question about the signs of rust inside the fuel tank I was answered that it was not the problem of the malfunction. After just one time usage the machine started to shutdown itself after 4-5 minutes of work. The new inspection of “Green Diamond” service found a lot of serious engine issues as a result of rust inside the fuel tank.

Cost to replace the above components will cost 179.93 + tax. Warranty will not cover corrosion/rust. What kind of warranty is that – if it does not cover any problem with the engine – the main part of the product? Under normal circumstances, I would simply return this item to the store, but I was told that this is not an option, since the item had already been used. Well, of course the item had already been used, as there would be no other way for me to learn that it was defective! Whenever I have purchased items from you in the past (lawn mower, gas BBQ, kayaks …), I have received high quality merchandise that I am proud to use. This time, however, I am appalled at the quality and I wonder how you could allow such a product to hit shelves at all.

I do not believe that I am asking for much in return for my time and effort, as all I want is my money back or to have this product replaced with one that works properly. I do not feel that I am being unreasonable with my request.

They had a 3 days special starting Friday when Saturday morning didn't have anymore Noma Led A 19 60 equivalent light bulb for $1.00 and they didn't want to give me a rain cheque. This is not the first time this happen and this is really frustrating. If they have a sale for 3 days they should have the product on hand. The number of the product is 299-6006-6 led light bulb that last for 22years would like to have a reply on this email.

On March 28, 2017 at approximate 11:30 AM I was heading south to Barrie, I pulled into the Canadian Gas Bar on Regent Street n Sudbury. My gas tank was on the opposite side of the gas pump, but the nozzle was on top of the bay, which I have used many times at other gas pumps without any problems. As I was filling, the pump stopped at $17.69 and the attendant was making an announcement on the speaker which I did not hear properly. I moved my car to the next pump in front of me and the attendant spoke again, which I heard this time and she informed me that I could not pump gas at this position and I had to move my car. I have never had this problem before, the nozzle was not fully extended while I was pumping gas. I was very angry and the bays were all occupied at that time. I left the station and had to drive back into Sudbury to get a gas station. I will never stop at this gas station again.

I bought an original product (motomaster 12v dual power inflator $59.99 plus taxes) on Dec 29th, 2015. I found that product can’t inflat a totally flatted tire. Therefore, I exchanged this inflator into a radiator heater (cost $79.99 plus taxes) on Mar 05th, 2016. I paid the differences of 23 dollars. For this exchange procedure, the cashier confiscated my original receipt and replaced into a new receipt says an amount of $68.97 reduction as return exchange policy. Both items were brought in Gatineau, and I just moved to Montreal on Mar 07, 2016.

After 4 days of purchased the radiator heater, I realized the heater doesn’t meet my expectation, which cannot produce enough heat for living room. I brought my original receipt and explained my situation to customer return service. However, the night shift manager Khedidja and the staff Marie-Josée at Galerie d’anjou store, refused to give custom a refund on a product just brought 4 days ago. They just simply kicked me out by suggesting me to go back to Gatineau for any return procedure.

First of all, kicking customer out by suggesting me to another Canadian store which located 200km far away is very unacceptable behavior. Regarding Canadian Tire return policy, products can be returned or exchanged at any Canadian Tire store within 90 days of purchase, which means all Canadian tire stores and return policy are equal and accessible through the whole country. Secondly, the manager continues to service me in French, although I said I don’t speak French for several times. She didn’t apologize that she can’t speak English or tried to find another person to translate. Regarding the Official Languages Act, Canadians have the right to received services from the public. Furthermore, when I asked for the complain phone number, Marie-Josée gave me the French service number by knowing that I don’t speak French at all.

Regarding such customer service behavior, I felt very disappointed and I believed that I should write a complain letter to improve their customer service behavior.

I went to repair a flat tire. The service adviser called me at office and said that the tire cannot be repaired because the new puncture is too close to an existing repair I had done. I asked the tire to be replaced and asked for the MotoMaster SE2 (Product Number:0041703 Manufacturer Part #:W11-12Y-F344 Size:175/65R14 82T. Category: All Season - Touring Tires Availability: In Stock). The service person said they were out of stock! And offered to get Firestone brand tires from another distributor.

I went into the Canadian Tire web site and found the tires I was requesting in stock at the store. Now I have to pay over 90 dollars per tire for the Firestone brand tires instead of 56 dollars for the MotorMaster ones. And they insisted on me buying two tires when I just wanted one. The service person was trying to swindle my money than helping. How can your own store be out of stock on your own materials when the Web site is allowing you to purchase these item on line?

I recently purchases a couple of car washes from the Canadian tire gas bar located on Eglinton Ave in Falmouth in Scarborough. I thought I would take advantage of the car wash which was on sale for $5 each. When I went to put in the activation code for one of them to my surprise it didn't work. Luckily for me I had the few other ones which I purchased and was able to use them, it would of been very embarrassing if I only had the one and had to trouble the people behind me to move so I could pull out. I am a frequent user of this gas bar and now I am having second thoughts about purchasing car washes due to this issue. Is there any thing you would be able to do for me? It would be highly appreciated.

Car issue 1, car shakes while idle. Car issue 2, car misfires when starting. The diagnostic 1, approx $1000: replace spark plugs, wires, and valve cover gasket. The diagnostic 2, approx $1700: diagnostic 1 + a $700 timing belt replacement. The car is a "well maintained" (followed all subaru maintenance guidelines) 2005 subaru impreza. I told Lee (the Canadian tire manager) I would not spend $1700 and if that is what was required I'd walk away from the car. I tell him I'd like to take the car to another garage to get it fixed. He aggressively recommends diagnostic 1 quoting his 20 years of experience and confidence in his diagnostic. I authorize the $1000 diagnostic with the expectation that our 2 car issues would be fixed. After performing $700 of work, a new diagnostic is made that would require $2000 to fix. The diagnostic 3, approx $2000 to replace head gasket (i.e. $3000 to resolve car issue 1 and 2).

The problem is Canadian Tire gave a diagnostic that was incomplete and therefor wrong. Even after the fact, Lee says he was in the right, and that his diagnostic was correct and complete. I told him it obviously wasn't because they were missing the scenario where the head gasket needs replacing. He said this head gasket is a "common problem". I told him I'd expect him with 20 years of experience to be able to account for a "common problem". He said no one can, and stood by that his diagnostic was 100% correct. Car issue 1 remains and car issue 2 remains. $800 ($100 rental for 3 days, $250 diagnostic, $550 work) has been spent to essentially diagnose a "common problem" that would require more than the car is worth.

January 10th 2016 I read your flyer and saw skates were on sale for 40% off. I went to the South location in Red Deer and found a pair. When I went to pay the clerk said the price and they were not on sale. I showed her the flyer and advised there were signs showing these skates were on sale. She called a Manager and we waited but no one came or called her back. She referred me to the customer service desk where I explained my dilemma again. The clerk checked and said they were not on sale and do I want to purchase at this price? I asked her to come to the skate isle and see all the sale signs that were on these skates. She said she was too busy, she called a Manager and asked me to wait as there were another four customers in line.

I was embarrassed as she turned her back on me to help the others. A young man came to the front after 10 minutes and waited tried interrupting her to see what she wanted. I was extremely embarrassed by now and had waited in your store for about 45 minutes. After explaining my entire story again he said he couldn't help me. He said he would take the signs down and I could come back in Feb for the next sale. I advised him I wouldn't be back. I left in tears. When I got home my entire family wanted me to go back and purchase as we had planned to go skating that day.

I did and I paid full price which was $69.99 plus tax. I still feel I was treated unfairly and with zero customer service. I would not treat someone the way I was treated! I am sending you the picture I took in the store. I was so upset at the time I planned on posting it on social network sights. I haven't and don't plan on it but I thought you should be aware the type of customer service that is given in your Red Deer south location.

So our F-350 needed the front axle u-joints replaced before we go back to work in the bush. Called Canadian Tire in the morning and they said bring it in and we will get it done. So we waited 5 hours till our appointment, dropped the truck off and continued our day. We received a call from the mechanic 3 hours later saying that they could no longer do the job because their vehicle hoist was not working, and to come get our truck. This job is 100% possible with a floor jack I argued . But they said the mechanic would not do the job with a floor jack. This is a pathetic attempt by your Canadian tire mechanics. I myself could have done this job on this day, but made the simple mistake of trusting an official mechanic shop. Now it's off to the bush with fucked u-joints. Thanks guys. Canadian Tire Smithers. You guys are pathetic.

I was shopping for a gift. Thought I found what would be perfect(for a family with 6 children) the budget is a bit tight! Found the exactly what I wanted. Computer and customer service says they have only 1 in stock. So after waiting half an hour for the attendant to search for it only to come back empty handed I was not too happy. I go to customer service to ask if there is anything they can do to help where I am told I have to wait again to see a manager, another half an hour she finally shows up (with the WORST customer service I have ever encountered) and proceeded to tell me that it's just not there and she is willing to do nothing. bout i.

I was at a Canadian tire today at Young and Church. I spent just under $100.00. I park in your parking lot. But because I was just over a hour I had to pay $4.00 dollars ex parking. I was told you only get one free hour. I think that is not very good advertising. I did give the man my receipt from the shop as proof of purchases. I just think it's to bad that Canadian tire would treat there customers like that and you can expect more Canadian Tire complaints from me in the future if this does not change.

I purchased a cordless Power Exchange 18v drill a number of years ago from your Kenora Store. The batteries (2) in this drill recently would not hold a charge. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the drill nor its charger. I hoped to replace the batteries 54-3102-2 or 54-3100-6 but soon realized they have been discontinued. This is the second drill I have purchased from CTC where there batteries have been discontinued. I am a regular customer at the Kenora store. I paid a significant amount of money for the 18v drill and now it is useless. I do not this is fair practice by your store. Clearly this bodes well for your profits to discontinue batteries so the consumer is required to buy another drill and batteries. It would seem you will likely discontinue batteries of your newest/latest drills to have the consumer buy yet another drill.

I am retired living on a fixed income and do various wood working projects for my family and to purchase another drill is another cost I am not prepared for. Please advise if there is anything you can do.

Yesterday my 14 year old son went into our local Canadian Tire with his friends. We live in Lindsay ON. He walked from school so he was wearing his backpack. Upon leaving the store the beeper went off as he was walking through and he was of course called back for the situation to be looked into. I get that when you see a group of teenagers you assume they are all up to no good and the worst is always assumed however I am a parent that has taught my child respect and right from wrong and am so appalled at how the cashier and employees handled the situation!!!! I'm actually livid!! The girl was on the first cash in the early afternoon and actually had the nerve to say " alright what did you steal??"

Are you kidding me?? I'm sure you see shoplifters all the time but don't you ever assume someone has stolen something until you look into it and have proof that they have!! Nice way to ensure out teenagers who are our next generation are taught how to treat others and act in society today when the kid is assumed to be guilty before he's even given a chance to prove he's done nothing wrong!! He had school binders and school supplies and a lunchbag in his back pack... Don't even ask me what would make it beep because I still have no clue but I am angry at the ignorance of your companies employee taking this outrageous approach!! I'm almost so mad that I want an apology given to my child since I'm pretty sure in Canada everyone is innocent until proven guilty...

Apparently not at the Lindsay Canadian Tire though!! Never mind that though because a person as rude as that isn't worth my time or anyone that is associated with my family!! Here's an idea.. Maybe educate your employees to handle given situations proper... Not with ignorance!! Oh and funny thing is... My child attends the local high school that is close and many of his friends work at this store... And according to them... This exact security beeper goes off all of the time.. Easily and is over sensitive!!! Unreal is all I have to say!!

I purchased a maximum 12 inch mitre saw for my husband for christmas, he did not go to use it until a few weeks ago, he then discovered that the locking device on the underbelly of the saw was broken, he returned the unused saw to the St. John's location where it was purchased with the receipt and was promptly told that the saw could not be returned because it was past thirty days. The manger told him to take it to scope for warranty work. He then took it there only to be told they don't do the work. He returned to canadian tire and then was told to take it to hiscocks.

He then took it there only to be told it could not be fixed and he would put in a recommendation for a new saw and that it would stake a while and to phone back every week. In a generation where christmas tools can be purchased in various different stores, canadian tire did little to keep a customer happy and satisfied. I will from now on purchase my husbands gifts in stores with better customer service skills. My husband is still without his saw and I am without any faith in you.d

I bought an Audi a4 2002 front brake disk April 2nd 2015. When the sales guy brought two boxes and put on the counter both boxes were open. So one box he taped in front of me and second was left. I did not mind and took both boxes paid at the cash and came home was around 5:00pm. The next afternoon when I went outside to change the brake disc for my car, I prepared all tools and was taking discs from my car when I noticed the disc is old. I opened another box, the one taped in front of me is new.

I was surprised and went back to Canadian tire. They did not agree and said we did not give me and old one. I told them to check your camera but they did not agree. Unfortunately, I called police and waited for two hours for them to come. They made a claim for me and said to call civil court and file a claim but before that send them a 10 days legal notice but still I am looking for justice from Canadian tire if you check your camera and find out where is the mistake so it will be good for both of us. Otherwise I am going to civil court because I have proof. No matter how big a company Canadian tire is, humans make mistakes and that i will prove at the court. They did insult me which I will not forget ever.

I missed 2 payments on my card due to being out of the town. When I got back, I paid 7 thousand off in 5 weeks and over paid by 6 dollars. It's been 5 months and have not gotten my 6 bucks back. In that 5 months, I bought anther 8 thousand worth of good at that store. You sure want your money but when it comes to giving money you owe back, it's like pulling teeth. It would be nice to reinstate my card with a low credit but no loyalty.

I purchased a master craft welder for my last yr in august, used 2x then stored for winter. Last week went to use and after several tries to get power attached a meter to discover no power was generating . so i searched for days to locate the receipt with no success. i then proceeded to contact every local Canadian tire to ask for help repairing the item, i was told no because i have no receipt they also told me i was eligible for a exchange as it was under a 1yr exchange warranty if i had a receipt. OK I know i messed up i lost the receipt so now i am basically out so much money on a item i deemed to be reliable and backed up by Canadian tire. I want a repair i don't want a new one as i know i messed up losing the receipt. seems unfair as obviously its your brand not like i picked it up at Walmart. Every location basically stated i am a liar because i don't have a receipt , thanks for you awesome costumer service and concern. I will never buy anything from there knowing if i accidentally lose my receipt i am a idiot in your eyes.

Store: 330 Coventry Road, Ottawa, ON K1K 4S3. I have been a customer of Canadian Tire Auto Service at Coventry Road in Ottawa, ON for 5 years now. I have been storing my tires there as well, and go there twice a year to switch winter/summer tires. Last year, I dropped my car off at Canadian Tire at my appointed time, and when I returned two hours later, my car was still in the parking lot. When I talked to a customer service rep, they apologised and got the tires switched in 20 minutes. This was obviously an inconvenience, but was dealt by the CS reps. Last night (22nd of April, 2015), I had another appointment at 6. I had confirmed with the person on phone that my tires will be found and ready and that I wouldn’t have to call back to make sure my tires were found and ready to be changed. I went in the store and talked to a person called Kervin. Kervin was quite patronizing from the time he opened his mouth. I don’t know much about cars, and he asked me if I wanted some add on, and when I said I didn’t know what they were, he sighed and explained them to me looking really frustrated. I ignored that, and asked him if he knew how long it would approximately take. He said it’ll be done when it’ll be done.

Me and my partner roamed the store with our 10 month old daughter for an hour. We came back to ask if there were any updates and Kervin said he’d take a look. He looked for our paperwork, peaked in the garage and said that the car is being worked on, it could be on a test drive, or being brought in, or being brought out, it’s hard to know. He then said, and I quote, ‘you should know that we are REALLY busy, and that we don’t LIKE to keep cars here, as soon as your car is done, we WILL bring it out. We don’t get any pleasure from holding on to cars’. I didn’t say anything back and went towards the washroom, while he laughed at me, and made fun of me with a customer who was waiting for something. He told the customer how people think we like keeping cars, and how people don’t understand that. I didn’t say anything, but I think it’s amazing that a person who works there didn’t know where my car was. And I have never had Canadian tire take my car out for a test drive after a tire change?

Anyhow, another 40 minutes go by. At this point, we are at an hour and 40 minutes into our wait for our advance appointment tire change (tires that were on RIMS). My partner went to ask what was happening, and this time spoke to David. David told her that they were having a hard time finding our tires. He was very apologetic, asked how he could help. My partner just asked him to take our car off the garage (it was in the garage this entire time, Kervin just didn’t bother finding out), as our daughter was pretty cranky by this time. David apologised and said he would do that. But then he came back in 5 minutes and said the tires were found after all and if we’d like that tire change. We said we did as they had taken off the winter tires anyways. David also gave a 25% discount, which was a nice gesture., but frankly doesn’t change the fact that we were treated so poorly. It also doesn’t change the fact that Kervin stood right there the entire time and didn’t apologise to us to giving us incorrect information.

This has happened twice in a row now, and honestly, I expect to be patronized and treated poorly at the Canadian Tire Auto Service centre. Last night, however, was next level. Kervin was rude, patronising, and downright mean. He stood there the entire time while David was figuring things out for us, and never once apologised for his attitude. I can’t take back this experience, and I would have done more if my daughter wasn’t with us. But I will take my tires out, and will not bring my car back to Canadian Tire. Nobody deserves to be treated like this.

I went in for a diagnosis for chugging, hesitating engine. I was told that the diagnostic analysis came back with codes for "misfire". So, I asked what this meant for me in regards to solutions. I was told I needed to replace spark plugs, wires, ignition coil, and likely the timing belt. I told the front desk that I had JUST replaced the wires and plugs within 6 months and had the dealership replace the timing belt last year. I was then told it was probably the ignition coil. I decided to leave my car with the shop and investigate further with the dealership (Hyundai). They suggested it was NOT the ignition coil and, If anything, was probably something much more minor. The dealership tech advised I go with the wires and plugs.

I purchased the wires and plugs myself and asked that Canadian Tire install these parts. They did so to the tune of $250. I could NOT believe the outrageous charge for wires and plugs installation on a 2000 Hyundai Accent. This should have taken, 30 minutes - 45 minutes (If not incompetent). I voiced my disbelief in the rationale for the charge which was explained to me as reflective of a 2 hour rate.

I bought battery last year here with a warranty but Canadian tire next finds false reasons not to warrant it.. The battery loses it charge.. They falsely insist that I spend a 1000 dollars first and replace the oil, spark plugs, wiring, ignition system etc as it might, note might be draining the battery.. they are too dumb to be expert mechanics as advertised clearly.. they thus want first hundreds of dollars for them learn how to fix my car, Pontiac Montana, so to find all the problems.. I also had an alarm ringing and I asked them to fix it.. but they could not find the problem, charged me to learn first how to fix it and all they did next is pulled out 2 fuses.. for $230 dollars? Pulling 2 fuses for that amount is absurd, ludicrous. Posted on the net next too.

Back in 2014 I purchased a eleminantor battery, I think in November and because I moved couldn't find receipt and some missed filled info at your store they said nothing they could do, I was in a pinch I just bought new somewhere else. After calling 4 different Canadian tires in my area. I for 1 will never step foot in 1 of these stores again. They battery had 4 year warranty and was manufactured in march of 2013 sound like it should warranty to me I guess no real customer service hear. I guess it napa for me from now on!

I would like you to investigate what happened to all the CD's that were in my car (roughly 35 of them) there were 6 in the cd player which requires a key to remove them and it is a slow player and it requires time to remove them all, i had a case full of approximately 30 cd's in it and I had about 5 in the slots. I cleaned the car one week prior to bringing the car in for servicing as I was getting ready for our trip to St. Catharines, Ontario. We did not notice the missing cd's until we were at a location where the radio add good reception. My husband then noticed that all his cd's were missing he was pretty upset about it.

We brought our GM Equinox for servicing on December 12th at the Ogilvie location in Ottawa and on December 15th I had to bring the car back for tire replacement and I took the car to the Canadian Tire on Innes Road in Orleans as it was closer for me to bring it there. At both time the car was left for someone to repair it, they had the key at all times. We would like some answers to our missing Cd's, I had to purchase some new ones (5 of them cost me $70), so loosing all those 35 or so cd's is very upsetting. We are thinking of filing a police report about this theft. I hope we can find a resolution for this incident. With that in mind we will never bring on of our cars for servicing at another Canadian Tire.

I went to Canadian Tire to duplicate the key of my door yesterday, but the new key was too thick and it did not work well. Then, I went to the key maker in Canadian Tire again this morning, the key maker still made a wrong key to me, and refused to repair it. Such time consuming event happens several times, and the attitude of the market staff is extremely poor.

I went to have my tires installed at a Canadian tire in Quebec, Longueuil. The technician started undoing my lock nuts, he took out one, then on the second he noticed it was tight and decided to use a 3 foot bar to unscrew it, didn’t put the lock nut socket in correctly and broke it. Now almost impossible to take the lock nuts out, so they sent me to the last mechanic saying that it’s his fault cause he screwed them too tight. They broke it, there technician should not have used a pry bar without asking me first. I wen’t back the next day to see the director and he told me that the socket was probably already broken and he brushed me off. I filed a complaint at the head office, after 2 weeks still no news.

June 20, 2011 we wanted to purchase a 10’x10′ garden shed from Canadian Tire Prince George.We asked the sales associate if they had an example or a display model up so we could see for ourselves if the shed would work for us and see how the construction or quality was as well. The sales associate told us they did NOT have that shed on display for us to see.So we went with his word that it was a good shed and that we should not have any problems with it. So we proceeded to purchase the shed and take it home to assemble it. The next day we started by opening the box that had the #1 on it, there was 4 box’s in total, to try and locate the instructions.

We finally found them in box #4 and started to read them. When we where done reading we found that the shed would not support the kind of snow load we get here in Prince George. We put all the piece’s back in their box’s and because the box’s where stapled we had to tape the corners together to hold the shed parts in the box’s. We then brought the shed back to the store and we where honest to tell them that we could not fit one piece back in the one box and they told us we actually did pretty good putting it all back in the right box’s. Then because of the price of it at least that is what we assume, the manager was called , he told us that because we opened the box’s we do NOT get our money refunded back to us.

He also made the comment that he would have to sell it at reduced price and that whatever they sell it for that would be our refund. So today July22, 2011 we decided to see the manager to inquire what was going on because he made no attempt to keep in touch with us since June22, 2011 and that we received our Visa statement and there was still no credit. He was called behind closed doors and we where told that they where unable to reach him and to go home and he will give us a call.We also discovered that the shed was put up as their display model. We where under the impression that it would stay in their box’s to be sold.

Now the shed that we returned is not in it’s original new condition and now we noticed it is damaged due to weather and people. how is it supposed to be sold? This is not how we gave the shed back to them. It was in it’s original packaging and in it’s original condition and we returned it within 90 days with our receipt. So how is it possible that they take the shed and NOT give us ANY of our money back!? Is that legal what they are doing?

My wife purchased a Solar Garden Light from the Canadian Tire store in Dryden, ON on February 24, 2011, with the intention to use it after spring arrived and the snow was gone. She removed it from the box and it would not take a charge. She tried new batteries, and it still would not work. We took it back to the store, with a copy of the credit card statement showing the purchase. The original receipt being thermal paper faded and could not be read. She wanted to trade it for one that worked. The “customer service associate” (a term that did not appropriately describe this person’s (Jocelyne) attitude) denied that she ever purchased the product at their store.

Essentially called called her a liar. Needless to say, a vicious argument followed and the “on duty” manager’s (Gary) attitude was no better. We left without a product that worked or a refund. Our advice is to avoid the Canadian Tire Store in Dryden, Ontario. Not one single cent of our money will ever be spent at this store with such deplorable service and anti-social employees.

I went to Canadian tire and inquired about purchase of 4 rims and these tires mounted and balanced. The clerk said that there were plenty of rims in stock, but the tires would take 2 weeks to arrive. Two weeks later back at Canadian tire more delays, now they were on back order! I come back a month later, and now they won’t sell them to me because they aren’t “speed rated”. I suppose if this Canadian tire was located anywhere near the Autobahn I could maybe understand, as it stands I learned my lesson again about NOT shopping at Canadian tire ever again!!!
