“i went to Canadian tire in Langford BC about a week or so ago, my intent was to purchase a 1/4 inch socket. sounds fairly normal. but all of the sockets were locked behind glass. along with many, many other items. when i got an employee to unlock the glass, she would not let me take the socket, she had to escort the 3$ socket to the checkout. i asked what if i wanted to purchase several other items. maybe some of those other items might be behind glass as well. she had no adequate response. i then asked if it was a good idea to treat all of their customers like common criminals. and again she had no adequate response. so what happens if you want to purchase multiple items. do every customer require a personal escort to follow you thru the store, carrying your items because they assume you are a criminal going to thieve everything in the store? I was embarrassed, for myself, but especially for the employee who had no answers to this ridiculous policy by Canadian tire.
I really think Canadian tire has to review this policy, treating your customers as if they are going to rob the place is not any kind of an answer. it is just ridiculous.
Canadian Tire, DO BETTER...”
“The auto part service at the Canadian Tire store on coventry rd, ottawa, ON, is atrocious. I bought a set of 4 winter tires there only to find out the next day during instalation at another garage that I was given 2 winter tires and 2 summer tires. When I went back to the store to fix the problem/resolve the issue, not only they were very dismissive but they even tried to convince me to buy 2 tires of different brand name/ specs to replace the summer tires they gave me by mistake. All the staff had a very bad attitude including one of the Managers who was smarking with one of the customer service reps. while I was explaining the situation to him. Instead of trying to find a solution, all they offered was a 1800 customer service number. They even had the audacity to say that “all they could do” was to take the 2 summer tires back (like if that was a great concession from their part), I mean that is their obligation after selling the wrong item. After talking to a different Manager, finally, they found at the back of the store the two winter tires I had ordered - something that if they had done in the first place it would have resolved the problem. No wonder why this store has ver poor ratings .”
“NEW

“Do more evaluations to your mechanics, do some trainings.
I had very bad experience at your garage, after I paid 700$, my car started to have some noises although I didn’t have it before the service, your mechanic said that all mazda 3 cars have this problem when replacing the brakes, I have to wait until the rust builds up and the noise will go away. It’s just not right.
If your employees do mistakes, they need to learn who to fix that, not just cover it with silly reasons.”
“I recently tried to purchase a reusable respirator from Canadian Tire as they had them on sale. I did a lot of research and asked for advice from professionals in my field before selecting the model I wanted to buy. When I arrived, they did not carry the respirators in any size other than a medium. I consider respirators to be a pretty standard piece of safety equipment that is used in many different environments by all people. The fact that, as a smaller woman, it took me weeks to locate a respirator that would fit my face is ridiculous. The only model of smaller sized safety glasses for women were also out of stock (and much more expensive). When I approached the sales person at the store, he said that I wasn't the first to complain about the lack of options for women and he was sure I wouldn't be the last. He apologized to me and said "I'm sorry, I just work here."
Upset, I posted my review to their website and was later informed that my review would not be published. I believe the reason is that I was not directly reviewing the respirator. I would, however, like to review the store as a whole. This kind of sexist practice in hardware stores of all kinds is becoming old, and women in trades and arts won't stand for it. I strongly suggest updating your practices before society forges ahead without the lot of you. Everyone deserves to be safe in whatever job they choose. And for goodness sake, don't make it all pink and twice the price. Safety is a right, not an accessory.”
“I went in for a box of shells [shotgun] for my dads birthday, along with some clay pigeons. The gentlemen I met was SUPER friendly, he helped when asked.
The ammo I needed wasn’t available upfront, but it WAS in the back... it took 45 mins to get it, however I was patient and reminded the guy that it happens. In the end they found a better deal for me in another case which saved me $. I was happy by the effort. Win for Canadian Tire Belleville ON.”
“The only place around I could find a decent mosquito net - staff helped me find it right away. It was very reasonably priced, decent quality and has saved me from being annihilated by the mosquitoes here in Whitehorse, Yukon. Definitely the best purchase I've made in a long while! Big thanks to the Canadian Tire staff :)”
“Went in to purchase my coupon to reduce the cost of the Ontario Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
It was a mater of just asking someone at the customer service desk for the coupon, which is then redeemed online to write the exam.”
