Tried them on myself, decided to get them, even got them sharpened...A few years ago, bought a muffler, had it installed almost exactly two years and three days later it gave way, told the manager that was coincidental and he honored the 2-year guarantee...<BR/> As the employee of a Canadian company whom "customers" say the service sucks, I must be the lone person to say...don't paint everyone in the same color--there are employees who care and there is good customer service out there! Just make a note of it when you get it and please THANK that person!!!!!!!!!It doesn't help the moral when everyone gangs up and has a major big "complaint fest"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-585738347136195052008-03-29T13:20:00.000-03:002008-03-29T13:20:00.000-03:00OHHHHHHH That sucks.It is all better yet?????OHHHHHHH That sucks.<BR/>It is all better yet?????Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116350154800273543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-28762332303321011722008-03-27T16:22:00.000-03:002008-03-27T16:22:00.000-03:00Let it out girl! :)Let it out girl! :)Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315635566608283734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-82947988396839736002008-03-27T11:37:00.000-03:002008-03-27T11:37:00.000-03:00CT pretty much destroyed the edges of our all seas...CT pretty much destroyed the edges of our all season tires a few years ago when we had winter tires put on. <BR/><BR/>(which we did not find out until we had the all seasons put back on months later at another place).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-33657907134563737282008-03-27T09:12:00.000-03:002008-03-27T09:12:00.000-03:00I have a similar story to Jkleclerc's.

Dave had a gift certificate to Canadian Tire so we decided to chance it with the mechanic there. After a couple hours they told us that our spring was broken and they could not balance the tires. It still cost us 150$. For what you ask? I have no friggin idea! <BR/><BR/>Oh so many more horror stories... and yet I still go back. "Canada"<BR/>in their name sucks you in.<BR/><BR/>I suggest Home Depot for big chain paint store. They actually have happy, knowledgeable employees, who seem to care... that's a nice touch.Calihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295179162607709018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-34240567004412561212008-03-27T09:08:00.000-03:002008-03-27T09:08:00.000-03:00Oooooh.

I have a CT horror story too.<BR/><BR/>Every sane person knows that the mechanics there are not to be trusted. Back when I had my first car I needed an oil change and didn't feel like making an appointment somewhere so I took it into CT, because it was just an oil change. What could go wrong?<BR/><BR/>Well... the kid doing the oil change stripped the threads on the drain of my oil pan. They wanted to put a new one in which was going to cost almost 500$. I said no, have then put a plug in and drove it to the Honda dealership. They re-tapped the hole and fixed it for 45$.jkleclerchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471482047533098424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-15046449847137722992008-03-27T07:56:00.000-03:002008-03-27T07:56:00.000-03:00I've never bought paint at Canadian Tire.

Para Paints. However, my favourite paint store is Truro. They were amazing there. Major customer service.<BR/>2. That one on Young St across from the Superstore. Sherwin Williams? Good service, good paint and they often have sales.<BR/>3. Even home depot. I don't even care that they're not a Canadian company at this point, not after experiencing CT's crappy crappy crappy service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000427.post-38494897202366389992008-03-26T21:34:00.000-03:002008-03-26T21:34:00.000-03:00Good lord!!

Because I'll totally help you bitch out someone. <BR/><BR/>I also recommend e-mailing head office. <BR/><BR/>I hope when you're done you have free paint.
