Canadian Tire

As per usual Canadian tire. This location has loads of stuff! Very nicely done with cleanliness and the quietness of the store is just best! Love that this location has a bunch of parking including disable parking. No need for key washroom is a good touch! Although, I can’t say it’s a clean one. Some customers just don’t have the ethics. Or they’re just dirty altogether. Anyhoo, definitely not a bad place to go to find tools, but, home items, garden, car accessories and such. Will definitely come back here if I’m in the area again.

On September 6, 2024, my husband and I took our 7-month-old Toyota Camry 2024 46,500 km to Canadian Tire for a provincial inspection, as part of transferring our car from Ontario to British Columbia. At front desk, we met Mr Daryl Ryan, the service department manager, who informed us that the inspection would cost $172, regardless of whether the vehicle passed or failed—this seemed completely fair to us.nnHowever, things quickly took a disappointing turn. After a couple of hours, Mr Daryl Ryan called my husband and explained that the car wouldn’t pass the inspection due to the front window tinting, which needed to comply with BC laws. We fully understood this. But then, unexpectedly, he recommended replacing all four tires, claiming two had passed and the other two had failed due to wear and tear, though he insisted we should at least replace two. This struck us as suspicious, given that our tires were in excellent condition, having been well-maintained and used for only a short period.nnWhat followed left us disillusioned. The price quoted for two new tires was a shocking $1,150— it felt like they were preying on us and our need to complete the car transfer quickly. It was a disheartening moment, as we felt the trust we had placed in a reputable company was being undermined by an attempt to upsell us on unnecessary services.nnIn the end, we paid the $172 for the failed inspection and left, deeply disappointed. As long-time customers of Canadian Tire, this experience left a sour taste in our mouths. We felt more like targets of a sales tactic than valued customers. This incident has sadly tarnished our perception of the company, and I urge others to approach their service department with caution.

This review is for the older lady at the cashier!nnI bought a compressor to fill air into my car’s tire, few mins later I came back because it wouldn’t work! I came back & the customer service lady said do you want to exchange and I said NO because this is how they get you!!!! after I would have exchanged it for another one and had that one not work either I would have only gotten store credit!nnAnyways the customer service girl was nice she returned it!nnWe went and picked up another one- different company. At the cashier was the older lady and we politely asked about the return policy again and she said if it’s opened only exchange and I had to explain my previous situation to her while she left me mid conversation to help someone else!nnAfter that she said talk to customer service!nnPlease don’t work for customer service if you’re going to have that attitude. I just moved into the neighborhood - safe to say I won’t be coming back to this Canadian tire!

I like the store, just recently I've not been able to find exact item I wanted here, and I had to go to Home Depot. Items included smart sockets or fridge water filter, they had those items, just very few selection. But definitely great place to get most of the household stuff.nnUpdate for fall, surprisingly I'm finding more options for power lawn tools here, compared to Home Depot now, I'm now a happy returning customers

Used to work at the auto parts desk and got transferred to the housewares department the same week I asked what was positive and negative on a battery Thanks Andrew. This is your standard Canadian Tire, it has lots of stuff and it's pretty clean. Since I worked here I know that most of the staff are pretty friendly and helpful; except the online orders department, they are useless. Go check it out if you're in the neighbourhood, it pretty much has anything you need.
