Review from dinah g.

Winter is around the corner folks and you know what that means, WINTER tires! Well I have been avoiding getting new tires ever since I bought my used vehicle but a friend recommended getting them now while they are still available and cheap.
Decided to do some pricing and this is what I found at the local Canadian Tire. First of all, free parking and a huge store. I have forgotten how lovely CT is; I mean it carries everything not only automotive stuff, there is the household area, toys, sporting goods, weights, there is already even ten rows for Xmas decorations. I was so distracted by other things that I needed to buy that I totally forgot about my first intention for coming.
Once focused I ventured to the automotive area, and there was a full service staff there attending to customers. I finally found George and I knew it was him as CT now has plasma TVs that proudly display mug shots of their service workers. It was funny talking to George as his photos sat grimly behind him over his right shoulder. "Ignore it" he said "the only thing it lacks is the line of numbers on the bottom and a profile shot". I instantly took a liking to this guy.
He explained that winters tires are seasonal especially studded ones, and that by city law you could only drive winter tires with studs from now until May. I would be looking at buying another set of tires in 6 months. To save money he said to go with the all season tire and that if I wasn't planning on doing much driving I would be okay with the most economical one. We talked for at least 30 minutes, George showing me many examples of tires, the difference in grade and wear and the CT guarantee. He gave me quotes and printed my options; it was the best service I had ever gotten at an automotive store. Not once did I see George TIRE! Hee hee
All in all exceptional service and great prices. CT has always been consistent for this, I have dealt with CT all my driving life, so get your tires here and don't be left out of the cold literally. -

Chuck Tire is an incredible store. It's huge and has virtually anything you should possibly imagine. Best of all, they're totally Canadian. Outdoor gear, automotives, camping gear, home renovation gear, and other innovations are abounding in this massive square.
The place is ridiculously massive and is sometimes difficult to navigate, but their helpful staff are more than inclined to help you find what you're looking for. The automotive guys are absolutely awesome, answering with ease any question you may have about your vehicle. Having a German car, this can definitely come in handy. -

What's not to love about Can-Tire...especially all the Can-tire bucks you get back :0) It's a hardware, camping, kitchen ware extravaganza...something for everyone.

I have been to this particular Canadian Tire several times as it's close to where my friends Jim and Kathy live. It's one of the bigger ones. Diane d. is right, there is something here for everyone. And on every Canadian trip, I make it a point to visit at least one of these stores. I also have a pretty good collection of Canadian Tire Money. At times, it may have been even more valuable than the Loonie!
