Canadian Tire

Not sure what these other people are saying. Had issues with my car and I would not take it anywhere else in the area. The service was awesome and my car even though it is an old piece of crap. They always keep me going and decent rates. Paul S is a great mechanic. Thanks Paul. Come in and ask for Paul. Trust me you will not go wrong.

Last week they had 2 cashiers and a huge line of people. Despite by better judgement I went back today, I needed a few things. No carts and lots of young attendants walking around re-​stocking shelves, helping customers, etc. Got to cash, 2 cashiers and at least 30 people on the lings. Everyone was asking why not more cashiers? They really need to hire more cashiers. Product okay, sales okay too.

I’ve been servicing my car at this particular location for the past few months and I’ve been disappointed with the level of service that I’ve received with each visit. I will NEVER trust this location nor any other Canadian Tire location to service my vehicles! Their customer service is absolutely horrible — their staff are very lazy and more engaged in their personal selves than servicing their customers. I honestly don’t know where they get their so-​called mechanics, because they seem to have very little knowledge and experience in servicing vehicles. Truly sad situation for such a large Canadian retailer.

I would never get my car serviced at Canadian Tire; most of their «mechanics» couldn’t «fix» a box of Lego.
No, I like this store for the weekly flyer specials. Some of them are just outstanding. For example, last week I got an amazing $ 400 multi-​purpose heavy-​duty ladder for $ 129…how can you beat that?
They also have excellent prices on kitchen wares and utensils. If you ever pay full whack for that stuff, you need your head examined.

I’ve been to this particular location for both car related issues as well as to purchase outdoors-​y items from their store. Each time I’ve found customer service here to be horrible. The reason I’ve made repeat visits are that it has a convenient location for me and their prices are pretty good (unless they are repairing something like a headlight or tail light that’s out) It’s far cheaper to just buy the light bulb and pop it in yourself.
But some examples of horrid customer service would be extremely long wait times for something simple as an oil change, I mean 2 hours or so (one of my family members had to wait a bit longer than that). And the last time I was here they used a container (where I keep the washer fluid, rags and some other small items usually found in car trunks) from the trunk of my car to do something like keep their oil canister on top of it, and I found this out when I got home to a container all greasy with oil.
I thought this level of service was at least restricted to their auto section, but no, cashiers here are also pretty rude or brick-​walled in their job. And I like to think I’m a pretty nice guy (I certainly wasn’t rude to them) but my charm failed to work on the cashier who was adamant to do things her way.
So, easy to say I won’t likely be coming back here for any Canadian or Tire shopping anytime soon, if I absolutely need to check out a Canadian Tire I’ll most definitely be taking a drive to another location.
