Canadian Tire fireplace

I ordered a fire place and just pick up today. The customer service rep told me the wrong info. They confirm that fireplace come with one piece and no need to assemble it at all. The person talked like 100% sure!
Because too heavy we paid 100 bucks to others for move to the second floor of my house. When we opened. it i got shock coz there are many pieces that we can carry by ourselves. Also took long time to assemble it... If they gave us acurrate info we have more choice than that! And when the first time we went to the store, the display one was the last one with some scratches. I asked for discount but they didn't offer me also insisted that the display one is a brand new one.. So we order a new one which tooks two more weeks. Im seeking for the compensation for extra cost on me...please help!

I called and took an appointment for a tires change and an oil change on Sunday the 13th. I repeated what I needed and I ask the employee to repeat what I wanted. Several times. I got an hour long appointment on the 13th. On the 13th, the employee, maybe another one, tells me that I was only appointed for the tires change but not for the oil change, and...

I went into the automotive section looking for a replacement fuse. After much time looking around and no one around to help I finally find it on my own. 300 fuses to pick from and none look like the one I have. I grab the one that looks closest to it and walk up to the counter. I simply ask the lady if this fuse looks like the old one I have on me. RUDELY...

Canadian Tire auto service, tires

Advertised tires at a great price .. went in to confirm the price and availability, arranged to come in the next morning at 9 am for installation. Service manager said they would call first thing in the morning to ensure the tires were there from another location. Never called. Then i noticed at the same online page the tire price was up almost $50 per tire. Typical 'bait and switch', which is highly illegal. It gets better. About two weeks later, another service manager from the auto centre calls and says he noticed that i ordered tires to be installed. i said i wasn't impressed that i never got a call back to install the tires at the sale price. he said, "oh well, you know we get busy and things get overlooked. So I asked for the tires at the same price i was originally quoted. He says ok, gives me a total price and says come in tomorrow morning at 1030 for installation. Then once again, says he will call first to confirm. Then he tries to sell me an alignment over the phone! I said no thanks, the alignment is fine. Guess what? Same ploy .. he never called back as he said he would. I'm done with your second rate company. Aren't you supposed to be a tire company first? Disgusting tactics and total lack of care and concern for your customers. You just lost another. Got tires installed at Costco.

On September 29th, I went to Candian Tire to change the tires of my car to winter tires. In the temporary invoice, the employee, Mr. Amit, tagged on additional charges of $129.99 for re-alignment. I had declined the offer after some thought and before the work had begun. I paid the full bill as not to cause conflict but, I seek a full refund of the $129.99...

We went to the Penticton Canadian Tire on Sunday, September 22/19 to purchase a utility trailer, that was on display out front of the store. We were told your store does not sell trailers on Sundays. The manager on duty was called to see if he could help. He said he refused to put himself in the position of selling us a trailer. We knew of an insurance...

Canadian Tire not so nice and [censored]y frustrated store manager (sherry)

I needed some new seat covers for my truck, so online I went. I always do my do diligent's and write the product number down and i always snap a picture just in case.
so off to the canadian store I go
I arrive and walk into the store and straight to the seat covers after a few minutes i found the product but the price wasn't the same as advertised on the website. I checked to make sure the product in the box matched the price on the shelf. Couldn't find the right price, so i checked there computer in the front of the entrance, still nothing.
I headed to the closest desk to the seat cover isle and was approached by a young fellow who checked the sku and product number, but also found the wrong price. I showed the young fellow the picture i took from the Canadian tire website and it showed the color and clearance price. He checked again, but still nothing. He asked a lady standing there and she mentioned she will look into in a minute, as she was helping a customer. A few moments later she came back and began to help with a little chip on her shoulders. She asked if i had the right product and i said yes and even mentioned that i had the product number and the picture of the product and clearance price. She could not find it on there computer either. She started to get frustrated and very unruly. She was getting snippy with me. She insisted i didn't have the right number or color and it didn't exist. I was appalled at this, so i took the seat covers and put them back on the shelf. I remembered they had a computer at the front of the store, so i went and checked there. I found the clearance ad, the price, color and product number and it was the same product and color I showed her 5 minutes prior. I brought her to show her and she got very defensive and denied it was the same product. I told her there is the proof and she got upset and snarled at me and i asked her about the clearance price and snarled back that she would give the price because she could and i corrected her and reminded her it was because it was stated in the ad. She still refused to believe the ad. All the way up to the cashier she was talking under her breath and at one point she rolled her eyes and said something to a cashier, as to say what an idiot ( referring to me ) because the cashier then looked at me then looked to the ground. I have never had this from a manager at Canadian Tire. I was pissed, but kept my cool. She told the cashier to put it through as a clearance and then brushed by me not saying saying a word. A customer who was behind me piped up and said what a [censored] i proceeded to tell him that she was a store manager, he couldn't believe it. We both agreed that the kids who worked there gave that kind of service, but never from a manager. I even heard a cashier say that Sherry the manager was a [censored]. Now that is bad. your own employee saying that. I believe she needs to be reevaluated and needs to be demoted until she takes customer service 101 and learns that the customer is usually ( always right ) right.
It is very sad that one persons behavior can ruin it for all, but I plan on shopping at a different store and spreading the word via social media as this is not the first time i have had or witnessed bad customer service. Nothing as bad as today. It really doesn't sit well with me.

Brought my car to this location in Aug 29. After paying $1, 053.94 for repair and parts installation, something went wrong, headlight failed. I brought it back today Sept 19. I was told its a "burned fuse" so they replaced it. I havent left the premises and again the problem persisted. My theory is they installed a defective daytime running light module or they didnt do it right.

Canadian Tire online product vs in store product

Hello i travelled a far distance for a karaoke machine that was on special. I found it online, and when i arrived at the store it was the same number for the product but not the same product at all. I needed a 2 microphone karaoke and this one with the same product number only had 1 microphone and not the same appearance with no lights in the front. Very disapointed. Store workers said they could do nothing.

Canadian Tire deep cycle battery

Hello. I purchased a deep cycle battery and asked the manager to test the battery for me to see how much life is left in the battery (not voltage) and he couldn't do it as he could only test voltage. I went to my vehicle and used my own battery tester that I purchased from mac tools and found the battery only had 64% life left and came back into the store and tested another new battery and that one also only had 54% life left in it. At that time I was told to just get my money back. I wanted to let you know that the batteries you are selling are not at 100% life as most people will not know to test for this and I am sure you want to sell a quality product.

Canadian Tire briggs & stratton snowblower 399-5399

I purchased the above noted snowblower on September 7, 2019 at the Newmarket store. The Canadian Tire add clearly indicates in the discription that it includes heated grips. After getting it home and assembling it, only to find it doesn't.
When I went to the store they forwarded me to costermer relations, who advised that it must have been an error on the website.
When you go to the briggs & stratton website and you look up this model it clearly indicates it has heated grips. My concern is Canadian Tire has misrepresented the advertised product and will not resolve the matter. I would expect that Canadian Tire would provide for more robust resolve.
I have attached my receipt along with the screen shot of the website advertisement. I have also included a screen shot of the briggs & stratton website showing that it clearly comes with heated grips. I have also provided you with the part numers for the said heated grips & switch that were supposed to be included. I would be willing to install these said parts if Canadian Tire provided them as advertised.

Switch 1501349MA, - $13.10
Grips & harness 1750774YP, - $25.30
I look forward to a reply.
Regards,
Brent Heppell

My daughter Abbie Quigley went in because she thought her car battery was dead. They looked at her car said it was the battery without even checking the battery and put in a new one costing her $250 and 100 of that was to put the battery in which literally takes 5 minutes, I'm not sure who you can charge that when it's more then the labour charges but...
