Canadian Tire
reviews and complaints

My husband brought his Chevrolet Uplander 2007 to your garage on Roland Therrien in Longueuil for some repairs to his van. Once the repairs done, my husband left the garage and only got a few meters away before the car would not move forward anymore. He took it back in to the garage for an other inspection. He waited 4 days and had to call for news... He left messages and the person would not call back. He decided to go directly to the garage for some answers. The mechanic told him that the transmission died and that because of the state of the under carriage he could not repair it.

Now it seems unfair for us to have loaded $1400 on our Triangle Credit card for the first repairs when they very well knew that the undercarriage was finished. No one told him his transmission was dying or informed him of the rot under the car. The van only worked for 2 minutes coming out of the garage.

We know that Canadian Tire is a solid and respectful company and we are constant customers but this seems very unfair.

Please get back to us if you need more information, we will gladly cooperate.

Yours truly,

No Mask, No Entry, No Exception!

So in order to enter this store, you will be denied oxygen and must re breath your own CO2. People have gotten the jab to supposedly protect them from an alleged virus which has NEVER been isolated and purified and its COMPLETE genetic sequence obtained and you STILL have to wear a mask to enter this store. WAKE UP!

Purchased a Certified 22"3-in-1 self-propelled lawn mower. After only 3 months of normal use and absolutely no abuse, the green paint on the deck is peeling off. Not flaking off, but large 6x6 inch pieces. I called Canadian Tire, who told me I had to call a place called Mecanair. That was a joke to say the least, I was disconnected many times, arbitrarily sent to a full email box. I finally got through and was told paint is not covered. I informed them it's not small chips, it's large chunks, and there is rust under the paint on the metal deck. Furthermore, I told them I would send them a picture, but they wanted nothing to do with it. To them it was plain and simple,"paint is not covered". For a lawn mower that is very new, this is unacceptable and poor customer retention policy.

I am currently sitting in the Vernon, BC store waiting for an oil change for which I had an appointment. The appointment was for 1:30 pm and it is currently 3:30 pm and my vehicle still sits where I parked it on arrival. Nobody seems to care! Others are waiting here as well under the same circumstances. This is absolutely unacceptable and to think I will have to pay for this terrible service. I will spread the word about this and never recommend this place to anyone!

I tried to return a map book and the manager would not accept the product. She told me it was nonreturnable. I said why was I not advised at time of sale. She said there was a notice hanging on the map book display. I took photo of display and there is no information of this kind at the Vernon store or the Westside store. I also was given her managers contact and he has not answered my email. I have documentation of my experience and believe these two people are avoiding representing a big problem with Canadian Tire and how it handles its returns. I took the map book back to the store in plenty of time within the return policy stated on the back of the receipt. I want to be refunded and believe these people do not deserve their positions as employees of Canadian tire if they cannot assist correctly in the return policy of Canadian Tire as stated on the back of my receipt.

Purchase on 2020-05-18 it work well and i was very satisfied. However on 2021-08-15 i could not get it started so i return it to the store where i bought that is for repair. Apparently the cause is a defective battery and / or charger. I made attenpe to get my mower back . I made several calls to know when it will be repaired. I can get no answer.
It seems that the issue is the defective part is back-order. To top it all the part number has change numberr according to briggs and stratton.

Received your sept 16-22nd flyer and on the front page, your math is off again. This isn't the first time that I've notified you of your miss calculations. You have your black and decker listed for $179.99 with a big 55% off and you have it listed for $79.99? Same with the deep fryer on the front page. I don't understand why math is so hard and that there isn't anyone checking these numbers. You lose confidence in your consumers. I would appreciate a reply this time as I haven't heard from anyone on my last complaint, again, losing confidence in you as a corporation.

Had an inspection done on car and after e gone has a high pitch whine to it. When I complained they said it's not their fault and I can pay to have it diagnosed! Will never go to Canadian Tire again.

This product is garbage! From day one we put it together and the warming rack locks backwards and falls out! The centre propane element lights but due to continuously getting airlock we have to use the barbeque lighter to light the other two sides I know it is cheap but come on. Anyway we have emailed the company and complained only to get hit with more questions, I just emailed them that it's in the trash where it belongs. Due to our last review on the ridiculous outcome of our vehicle strut installation quote that got doubled and head office would not honer it. We still tried to support Canadian tire, not again! will not be shopping for anything at Canadian tire
thought you should know.

I wanted to buy tires for my truck, they were on sale but no one in nova scotia had them, I found them in toronto canadian tire, but the store here said they cant transfer them from there to here, which pissed me off now ill take my bussiness some where else from now on this happen today sept.7/2021 the tires were on sale for 531.00 for four tires 275/60r20

Purchased a set of brake callipers for a 2015 ram 2500 truck. Was charged 141.67 each for a core charge. Was told to bring back the old callipers back to be refunded the money and that was it. This store is 3 hours from my house and a 45 minute detour off my regular route home. I work oilfield and I only get home once every couple months with the job I have. That being said I drove 45 mins out of my way to bring the callipers back only to be told I needed the box to send them back. No where on the receipt or any of the paper work is this mentioned nor was I told anything about bringing back the box . so now we m lugging two oily crappy callipers around with me and I'm going out almost 300 dollars because of a piece of cardboard. I bet a single Canadian tire store recieves a couple thousand boxes a week it shouldn't be too hard to box it up and send it back.

saw some tires online and it said it had 7 tires at the store. went to the store to be told they had no tires and call auto manager in the morning. call to get more b[censored]. order the tires online and to pick up at the store saturday at 9.00 and told they didnt have them. i was going to cancel the order and got a text they were there. i went back to the store and told again they arent there. what around for 2 hours and got them. what the hell is wrong with this story. got the run around and b[censored]. i am not happy with them and felt like i will shop at walmart. at walmart the give you the stuff when they say it there. no customer service and no managers help a person. just a joke. the store i went to was 9909-178st edmonton, ab. dont shop there.

I bought a single line trimmer about a year ago, a yardworks trimmer.
The spool cover wore out
I have tried everything to get a new one
They have informed me that they have no replacement part for my trimmer, so I have to throw it into the garbage because it can't be used without the spool cover
I think in view of this situation, they should provide me with a new one

I bought a Hamilton Beach 4-slice toaster from Canadian Tire Barrhaven on August 18, 2021 for 49.99 on special. I used it once and found that it toasted OK on one side but hardly at all on the other, even though the bagel button was NOT pressed. I then checked product reviews and found this to be a fairly common complaint for this model and some others like it. I decided to take it back today (Aug 19) for store credit as I did not want a replacement of the same sort or another brand at this time. I was not able to get a store credit even though I have been a frequent customer of CT over the past 40 years. In future, it seems that I will have to purchase appliances from suppliers with a no-quibble guarantee such as Amazon and Costco.
