Couple years ago I bought a certified gas snow blower from Canadian Tire by the time I used the snow blower my warranty was up. Use the snow blower three times and needed a new part. Was told by Canadian Tire that they do not carry the parts and that I needed to go to a small engine repair shop to have it fixed at my own expense. I found out that most small repair shops do not deal with certified equipment. Now I have a basically brand new snowblower sitting in my shed for the past 2 years that has never actually worked. On September 9th of this year I bought a Yard Works 48 volt powered lawn mower. Have not been able to use it since I bought it the charger did not work first of all. Finally got another charger and now the charger tells me I have a faulty battery. I am told now that I have to deal directly with Yard Works on something I just bought a couple weeks ago. I will never buy anything from Canadian Tire again their customer service is extremely inadequate to deal with products they sell they do not want to deal with any issues and just pass you on to the manufacturer. It should be where you bought the product is where you deal with.
I just had a negative experience with the Manager at your “Parts Source Store” at 272 Weber St. North in Waterloo. Last week I attended there to purchase a trailer wiring adapter. I described my need, a seven way round pin adapter to a flat 4 pin receiver. The clerk was helpful and friendly and found the item in his shelves behind the counter. It came in a hard plastic see-through container and looked just like the one I needed, and it was even on sale! ($9.99 down from 16.99) Unfortunately, when I took it out of the package it turned out to be the wrong part. It was a 7 pin round to a six pin round receiver. (It is not possible to detect this without removing it from the packaging). I brought the item back for correction but the manager advised me that this was a clearance item and they wouldn’t accept it, even though the error was theirs and I had the receipt. I asked him if he could at least exchange the plug which was useless to me, for another item that I could use. I would accept anything reasonable, even from the clearance bin, even though this item had not been taken from any clearance bin!) He told me that the only thing he could offer me was a discount on the correct part. He then found a part that would work but told me it was regularly $62 dollars but I could have it for $39.
Our interaction was civil but your manager made no attempt to do the right thing, despite the acknowledgement that there was no way for me to identify the part they supplied me as incorrect. He just told me that I should have taken it out of the package. This person did not accept his responsibility and will lose you many more clients such as myself if left uncorrected.
I remember when Canadian Tire store was just a small shop in Winnipeg. Everyone loved going there. Fast forward to 2016 and people still love going to Canadian Tire. The products were excellent and when there was a sale, it was a real sale!!! People were extremely happy to shop at Canadian Tire store. Quality was good and so were the prices. Fast forward, once again and see how a store can start to go out of business!!! I have never heard so many people complain about CT!!! I have heard that CT no longer has a return policy. Although the quality remains supreme, the prices are so much higher than many other stores now. I never used to shop around; if Canadian Tire had it, I would buy it there. This is no longer true. It almost seems as if the heads of the company have been changed and they’ve become greedy like every other corporation!!! It’s almost a tangible feeling of being this one great company to every other big company. The Canadian morals have somehow been lost. I am definitely not the only person who feels this way. Never have I heard so many complaints, both spoken and on social media.
I feel sad to have to write this but I just thought it’s something you should know.
Terrible customer service, do not order on line. I ordered on line an item and they messed up the order (wrong product). I had to go back, get refund because they said they did not have my product despite the fact that their on line system accepted my order! They said that is how on line works, so the system may accept the order despite the fact that they may run out of that product! go figure. They told me others stores have it so I could go there and buy it, so another travel time etc to get the product. When I tried to discuss with the staff and store manager they seemed to not care that on line system is really faulty and they said that’s the way it is with on line orders. So they could not call other store to put on hold the product or bring it to the store where I ordered. The staff esp store manager were absolutely not helpful, said do whatever you want we cant help you etc. I did not hear even sorry… Terrible…Heartland Store in Mississauga, do not go there, I will not !
I purchased a stiga hockey game at Canadian tire on November 29th for regular price, then it went on sale for $99.99 and I went to the Canadian tire store in Regina on December 6th to get a price change as they have a 2 week policy to do itโฆ well they wonโt do it!! They crossed out my receipt and then told me they canโt do it, Iโm very disappointed and upset in the Canadian tire price change and return policy โฆ a very upset costumer

I was in search for the incandescent Golden Reindeer for my front lawn that was on sale at 40% off. I live in Mississauga, Ontario and this product was sold out across Ontario. I was able to successfully conduct an online search for this product across all the Canadian Tire stores in Canada. I located a few in the Yorkton, Saskatchewan store, called them and spoke with Tina in Customer Service. I asked if this store could ship this product to my home and I would pay for the shipping. Tina was amazing! She found a work around solution to process my transaction without having to supply my visa to her as that was against Company policy. She proceeded to ship the product to my home in Mississauga without shipping charges. I understand shipping between provinces is not that common. I hope that this example will be the start of Canadian Tire opening up access consideration more across Canada. Thank-you again Tina!
I was having problems activating my points card and kept getting told I had to call in when ever I emailed for support. I am a cancer survivor who lost my tongue and part of my throat so I can’t use a phone. Today at your Stouffville store a young blonde girl in customer service took the time to call in with her own phone and go through the steps needed to sort out my card. The manager was supportive and gave her the ok to take the time to help. I face challenges and setbacks daily because of my handicap and it was so nice to have someone go above and beyond to help. I’m sorry I don’t know the girls name, she didn’t have a nametag but I’ll never forget how much it meant to have her help. I just wanted to share this as these days there doesn’t seem to be a lot of people willing to do the extras that mean so much to people like me. All the best. Mike.
Carlos from the Canadian Tire Store located at 3500 No. 3 Rd, Richmond has been awesome in helping us! We needed assistance in locating a desk fan in-store, and despite how busy he was, he was still able to find the product for us in just a couple of minutes! Heโs certainly the most helpful and dependable person there! Youโre great at your job, Carlos!
I would like to know how you can sell me a product on line take the money from my account and then send a confirmation # then the next day say you didn’t have the product to sell me. Very poor customer service and also your website should not be able to sell a product if you cannot provide it…
Why does canadiantire store 675 on 10031 Mclaughlin rd forever selling and delivering open boxes item . This is the 3rd item I received that was open box and the item doesn’t even have the plastic on it . I’m disgusted with that store honestly . Why the hell would I want to buy a food item that was probally used and returned? If i didn’t had to wait 1.5 hrs in that curbside pick up I would have surely returned it , the employee put it in my trunk without me looking at it only to realize its an open box when reading home .
That store is the worst damn store ever i’ve been to . Atleast if its a return product repackage it properly .
Yesterday at Kelsey Dr. C.T. in St. John’s, I purchased a Reflex Rear Wiper Blade (021-0910-4) which both the online and in-store parts finder said would be a direct fit for my 2018 Hyundai Accent GL H/B. I’ve changed dozens of wiper blades in my 40 years as of driving, without issue, but this supposed direct fit blade jammed while installing it, which told me that it was not in fact a direct fit. In the attempt to remove the jammed blade, the OEM rear wiper arm snapped in two pieces. It is now useless and will cost upwards of $100 to replace both the arm and the blade from the local Hyundai Dealer. Local parts manager at Kelsey Dr. C.T. DID refund the cost of the blade, but DID NOT offer to repair the damage caused to my vehicle by the incorrect part which is advertised as a direct fit item.
I should not have to pay out of pocket for this damage and Canadian Tire should perform a complete repair at no cost to me, or at least compensate me for repairs carried out elsewhere
Canadian Tire offers a lot of good quality products and services.
I enjoy shopping at Canadian Tire and always will.
I like buying toys, tires, bikes from Canadian Tire.
They have one of the best staff that I have ever seen.
My car battery was acting up so I uninstalled it and found a big crack and it was leaking battery acid. I borrowed a car and took the battery to CT with my valid warranty. I brought it to the service counter and asked them to help me. They responded by saying that they can’t test it or help because it was not n the car. They could have simply walked about 10 steps with the battery and bench tested it or opened their eyes and see that the battery was cracked. I had to make an appointment and wait 2 days. I also had to reinstall the battery and bost it so I could return for the service appointment. I returned waited about 45min and they took the battery out and did the bench test, just like I asked them 2 day prior. They said “Sir your battery is cracked that’s why it doesn’t work”. I did get a new battery but they charged me a 50 dollar service fee on top of everything. I can’t believe the incompetence of workers, or how they wasted hours of my time and then extorted me for money. I will never buy anything from here again and I will let everyone know how they jerked me around and ripped me off. They don’t care about customers or seem to have any common sense.
I am wondering why Canadian Tire continues to carry and advertise automobile wheel covers that are such poor quality . If you look at customer reviews, most are very negative and most state that these wheel covers fall off most of the time. I am one such customer. Bought a set of four. 2 days later i lost one. 4 days later another one fell off. main problem is that the “teeth on the covers that snap onto the rim of the wheel are plastic and not strong enough to withstand a bump in the road, potholes, gravel rough roads, etc. I have read that there are wheel covers available that have metal teeth and they never fall off. However, i have not yet been able to locate a supplier of these. Would be great for customers and Can. Tire if Can. Tire were to get rid of these cheap poor quality covers and replace them with covers that have steel teeth. Ed
My car air conditioner was not working. Before service of my car on Saturday morning, I asked the front desk person and technician to check the carโs relay switch. Later the technician mentioned that the problem is not relay switch but we need to check the leakage in ac(charged me 89$+tax). They checked and mentioned that I need to come back again as the problem is deep electrical in ac. I got the next appointment for Thursday.Came in the morning. After some hours technician came back and told me the problem is with the computer inside the car. He has identified the issue, but will take some more time (charged me 178$+tax for technician labour). After 5 hours, the technician and the front desk person came and told me that we found the issue. It is with the relay switch ?. Really, I told them that this is the first thing I asked to check and I was told that relay switch was working fine. Worst part is that the front desk person told me that they do not know about my previous service details (Relay switch charge=15$ and fixing the relay switch=45$). Relay switch took another 1 hour to get to the service centre. I took the relay switch and put in the car in minutes. I was not told that they had taken the ac gas out of the car. I have to pay 200+ to fill the gas. After speaking to the manager (who was not available the whole day), they did not charge the labour fees for filling the gas, but still charged 100+$ to fill the gas.
I went to Canadian tire with the hope that it is a big company and will not cheat. I had taken the day off from my office to get my car repaired and I felt badly cheated. I got free at 4:30 in the evening.
I will never go back to Canadian tire service centre
I bought a 10kg bag of yard salt on saturday – brought it home on the backseat of my car – put it on the wood dry floor of my garage and on monday opened it and dumped it into a bucket used only for salt – tight lid to keep it dry – only to find the bottom of the bag had wet salt in it. I took the empty wet inside bag to the store and the owner Stephan told me to “use a knife or screw driver to break the salt when it hardens (which was my complaint about wet salt)..or bring the bag with the salt back. I am a 70 year old woman with a history of back surgery and now 3 vertebrae with no discs and I should do that?! Carting and dumping heavy bags is limited in my state – told him so – had the receipt – he did not offer to replace the wet stuff or refund. The co-workers all remarked on the wet interior of the bag – was pretty obvious – both ends of the bag were sealed – I had opened it below that – good thing there is another store I can shop in St Stephen NB. Bad bad on Can Tire. shame on you
I purchased a car battery Motomaster Elimindtor 3 with 4 years warranty from your store located Dundas East London January 10, 2018 winter time to replace the old one, and it worked good the last whole winter and summer. But it started to fail in recent one month. Yesterday (February 17, 2019 ) I brought in the battery again, requested a replacement because two times failure in one month indicates the battery is defect for winter performance , the battery is just one year old, I cannot bring in the battery for the rest of 3 years winter time to spend a day recharge it in your shop until the warranty is over. But the manager John Aristone refused and told me it was failed because the winter temperature, and the car sitting too long (I told him I drove once a week for around one hour country road).
Isnโt the battery designed to work for Canada climate and market, and there was no issue last winter time that the car was not driven even over three weeks. And he said last winter time was differentโฆ.. what an excuse!!! As a customer, I am no expert of the battery, but I just felt no peaceful for a battery like this.
Hello, I have a warranty issue with a part of my car. In Less than a year, this will be the third time that I will have to change the lower control arm for my Mitsubishi outlander 2007. the item is under warranty however this is not covering labor and I will need to balance the wheels each time I change this part. There must be something wrong with the quality of the parts and it is definitely defective since also that the car usage is very minimal and very short milage is driven between each change of the part. I appreciate if Canadian tire must look into this matter and 1st of all provide a different part brand and 2ndly provide me the parts and labor and all required free of charge.
Thank you for your care and support
Good Afternoon,
I am a Nova Scotian, 18 year old, female who will be attending full-time university courses at the Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus in the fall of 2019. I am a student-athlete who struggles with a visual impairment but has the dream of completing my four year degree in Bachelor of Science. I will not allow my disability to get in the way of the goal that I have set for myself. I will have to move myself to Truro being faced with living costs and the costs of tuition which are currently having an impact on the goal that I have set for myself and what I have already worked so hard for. After completing an online course at Dalhousie university and receiving an A as a final grade, I am currently enrolled in my second online course in which I am upholding an A+ grade. I was unable to attend full time university in 2018 as I was travelling for baseball and made a return for the sake of family matters. Despite the things holding me back, I plan on achieving my goal of finishing this degree and would appreciate any financial support that I am able to find. Having you play a part in helping me do so with additional financial support would be appreciated beyond belief. I would like to than you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon.
Kindest Regards, Katrina Hagen
I was at Eaton Centre Store on Jan 9th, 11AM. I wanted to purchase a tool in locked casing. I waited until employee was finished with a client and asked to get product. Employee then took a phone call, said he will be back and left. I waited and waited.
1. I waited to be next to be served.
2. He took a phone client instead.
3. I had money in my hands to purchase a product.
4. Him and I was right at casing to open it โ would of taken no more than a minute.
Customer service desk is right next to aisle. I asked employee behind counter if someone else can get me product โ His name was ANDRE.
He said I need to press button. I said person was there with me and he left.
His comment was :
โWE DONโT SUPPLY PERSONAL SHOPPERS AND I HAVE TO WAITโ
This comment was way out of line and I told him so โ no apology.
So now I have to bring a personal shopper to get serviced โ this was derogatory and 0 on scale of service.
Phone calls get priority on people waiting to BUY a product and you are told off โ been shopping for a while at Canadian Tire and this is horrendous.
Hello
I have never went to a website to complain before i am 50 yrs old and have worked in retail ever since i have been 17 and still do. I am a manager of a retail shoe company and i would never treat a customer the way i was treated at your store in Coppersmith Plaza today. I went to return some Christmas lights today with my receipt and debit card there were purchased on. The lady at customer service said she would not take them back because they were a Christmas product. I asked to speak to a manager.
A young man came and also told me told me he would not return then because Christmas products were packed up. But on the counter was a Norma Christmas bulb. I was told by the first lady that i would have to wait a year to return them . I told her that would be past my 90 days and she just shrugged her shoulders. No where on the receipt does it say that i can not return them. Just that i have 90 days to return. Then he looked at me and said well we did have signs up.All i wanted was my money back for something that i did not use and my husband that we would need. That said i really think the manager should take some classes in how to deal with customers if that was me i would off just returned the product and made my customer happy. Is that not what it is all about.
I went to your store twice after Jan.1 and even though your website indicated Christmas items were in the aisles, they were not. This was in your Saskatoon, Preston Crossing location. It is frustrating to plan a trip to your store from checking your website and to find nothing on the shelves. I have time off from work over the holidays, and did not want merchandise shipped. Please keep your website updated.
Hello. I would like to tell you about my experience at your store in Sherbrooke, QC at Les Placements Michel Mayrand, 4100 boul Josaphat Rancourt this Dec 17 2018 during the lunch hour.
Rarely have I experienced such a pitiful display of customer service. I asked for help in searching for a product (Atomic Beam Lantern) and the “help” I got from your staff was wayyyyy below subpar. I even took a picture (from your website) of the product to show the clerks hoping to speed up the process. The 1st girl I showed the picture too said “sorry, doesn’t look familiar”. She didn’T even try. The next guy I asked couldn’t help me either. Poor guy was in training and alone and had no clue what to do. I then found 2 co-workers talking so I asked them…they tried to help me and said it should somewhere in front of the store…they could of least tried to show me personally. The another guy I stopped, he said I should go to the sports counter and press the ringer for service. After finding the ringer, a girl appeared and typed in the product…saying it should be in front, if there are any left. I asked if she could show me where? Boy, that seemed to piss her off…How dare I ask her for help.
Basically, I really felt like leaving all my stuff I was going to buy and walk out. Not one person said hello or even smiled. It is no wonder more and more people will shop on Amazon now. And I will not go back to that store.
And your company needs to do a major overhaul in public relations because I do not see such a store surviving in such a competitive market.

I just ordered online for the first time from Canadian tire and wanted to make sure it went through ~ had not received an email. Asked Pearl ( lady online) just to make sure I did everything right and she put me through to a technician expert …. not sure why? AND it would of coast me b/c they were asking for my credit card. I hope itโs not this difficult ordering online.
My husband and I bought a Christmas tree from the Canadian Tire in Windsor Ontario last year and were very happy with it. However, we unpacked it this year and the middle lights of it weren’t working! We tried different fuses, outlets, checking all the lights, but still it wouldn’t work. So we returned it to the store we bought it at and they agreed to replace it with the same model but new. We took that one home, and when we opened it, it was missing the base and the spare lights and fuses it was supposed to come with!! So we had to drive BACK and explain that they gave us one with missing parts.
They replaced it with yet ANOTHER model. This one so far works, but I’m pretty unimpressed with the product itself; I don’t know if it was a packing issue, a product defect, or what. I guess I’m just writing this to suggest selling more quality items, items that won’t cause inconveniences like this. The staff at the store were great and everything it’s just the product itself I’m concerned with.
Thanks

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 plain 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.

Hi , you have had a promotion on , you spend $150 and rec $30 promo card back in Sept 28 /18 .
I purchased an item , so i would get a promo card , but not knowing that the promo card is only good for 1 wk , for myself I cannot go to the store all the time because I am a far distance away , so therefore my card expired , very disappointed that I have lost out , I will deffinately make sure in the future that I ck the expiration for those cards before I make another purchase !!
I placed an order for 4 Goodyear Eagle Sport Tires on September 26th, and was advised that I would be able to pick them up at my Canadian Tire Store on October 8th.Everytime I call I am told my order is being processed, This to me is just not good enough.my order # is 6062230717390, If I had know that you could not be honest with me I would have gone elseware to buy my tires.
Completely disappointed with Canadian Tire Home Services. I purchased a Bryant home furnace, heater and A/C and two month after the warranty expired in October, my furnace breaks down costing me $400 to repair. My issue is this, the problem originated within the five year warranty period and only surfaced in October when the weather cooled and i turned on the furnace. There is no way that I would have know that the furnace was malfunctioning two months earlier as we were in the middle of a heat wave. Canadian Tire gave me no leaway. In fact the customer service centre is horrible. I called on October 5 and was told someone would call me back within 48 hours. I had to call back 10 days later. Was put on hold for 15 minutes only to have the rep hang up on me. No call back from the rep. So..I called back….again on hold for 15 minutes this time and the rep was completely unsympathetic. I try to buy Canadian when I can, but my recent experience will make me think twice about shopping at Canadian Tire.
