What i love about Canadian Tire is it's presence throughout Canada meaning that if the car breaks anywhere, the parts and labour will be there, the will find the solution and the warranty will be honored when back home + it's THE place to buy boots and winter gear that ARE made for canadian winter AND more affordable then sport spots, they also have skates, bikes, water shoes/boots and so forth. I like canadian tire a lot. read more

Value and selection is good. The authentic mexican food truck outside is excellent! I had the tacos and they were the best I've ever had.

Not my favorite spot to shop. I think probably my last stop to try and buy something. It just doesn't offer anything special. It's not the biggest selection, cheapest, or fanciest. It feels like where my grandparents shop and everything is budget and not current. I want to like this place. Its part of Canadian culture. I feel like they should hire new buyers to make this place exciting to shop. Overall I don't think I've ever recommended someone go to Canadian Tire for anything. I needed to buy two propane tanks last visit and the total came to $170 after tax. I told the cashier to forget it and went to Costco. Just under $100 after tax. How is there such a large discrepancy? read more

Canadian Tire - Last resort - Department Stores Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

I posted a review on the issue of the cashier wanted to search my backpack, what an insult, and violation of the privacy law. The owner responded by saying that I need to call without any explanation! I will never shop there. And never get even close! read more

I also had the worst experience at this Canadian Tire with one of their 'managers'. Biggest jerk ever. Doesn't know company policy, basically refused to refund a $5 item which was purchased originally in Stouffville. Yes, I had a receipt. When told the company website said it was fine to return to 'any' store, said he hadn't heard that... told me "can't help you... next person in line" I ended up driving to another Canadian Tire location in South Whitby. That location didn't have any problems... the staff there knew the rules and policies. Heard from others who had other problems with 'power hungry' manager there. Seriously, life is too short to shop at this location. what a dick. read more

Nice place. Staff are friendly. Store is bright and clean. Found what I wanted today. The line up at the cash went fast and cashier was friendly and courteous. read more

The store manager deserves nothing but a BIG ZERO! (4100 Garden st., Whitby, ON. at Taunton) That person managed only to make that Canadian Tire branch the WORST in Durham. By all means, he is the WORST store manager I've ever seen in decades. I tried to file a complaint against a cashier who acted badly with my 11 y.o. kid as she stopped him like a thief for an item we bought from another store. (BTY: I totally understand and would never mind a polite bag/item check request to protect the store from shoplifters). BUT that was not the case with us this time. I was only steps ahead of my son and at the store exit when I turned back and found how that cashier held him back in front of other customers! (Note: We didn't buy anything at the store that time, so we bypassed the cashier's line on our way out) I argued with the cashier that she should have talked to me, not to my kid, but that turned into an endless "verbal fight", not to mention some annoyed, lined up customers interfering to shush me, of course to get their pay done (but I don't blame them...just wait until it happens to their kids and see how they'd react!!) So, to end that mess I sucked up the agony from those people's comments and apologized to them for the delay and went to see the store manager to raise my concern with him off-line. That so called "manager", had a surprising reaction about his employee's behaviour: All what he did was to rudely remind me with the store policy and then showed us the door without even an apology for scaring my son!! You see, that A.H. manager totally missed the point that it is a simple common sense to talk to adults, if you have any such concerns (not to pry on kids like cowards! But sure that manager doesn't have any kind of leadership skills, understanding, or even common sense. So, no wonder some of his staff totally lack it too. I believe since they didn't make any money out of us on that visit he didn't consider us customers and so he didn't think we had any rights, even showing some respect!! (To this one, could it be due to some customer-color-based attitude?! I guess I will never know!) More important to the readers: I am not sure if that boss's "policy" would always tolerate harrasment to customers, and their kids, by his staff, like what happened to us. So, if you ever need to shop there, please take extreme care of your kids...as you'll never know if someone would want to make a scene there, to get some bonus or cheap praises from an ill-mannered boss! On another front, if anybody over at Canadian Tire corporate cares, I believe they need to revise and rectify this branch manager's behaviour and management style, if he ever has one, cuz the way he acts is a crying shame to the corporate as a whole. read more

I went there today. After wandering around for about ten minutes, an employee told me I had to check my backpack. For the record, I very much disagree with this policy as I feel it treats customers as potential criminals. So I went to the storefront to leave and had to exit through customer service. The woman at customer service wouldn't let me leave until she searched my bag and just kept repeating it was store policy. I obviously understand that she doesn't make the rules so I'm not criticizing her but rather the policy itself which criminalizes customers. Prior to this, I was in Walmart for an hour with no trouble. Whenever I need car repairs done in the future, I will remember this. read more

this place is hit and miss. sometimes you get good service and polite staff, other times you get duds. the one thing i did not like was when they wanted my drivers license number to return a $10 item. i foolishly gave it to them because i didn't want to keep the item so now it's in their database somewhere. in this age of identity fraud i don't like that. i have never heard of that policy. it seems like they don't do that anymore ,but still. read more

Cashiers dont know company policy. They do not allow to buy visa card to a canadian tire gift. The only thing they say we dont allow that! and I ask why? "You should just say sorry its not in our policy yet". Suggestion train your staff and Manager to be more customer centric! AND Do not give your customer an attitude! remember is the customer pays for your wages .. thats why you have a job! read more
