Reviews of Canadian Tire (School)

Beth Wood

Got some really good deals.

Danno Cardinal

Small Canadian tire and great service. Kudos!

Prudence Newton

Everytime I go into this particular store I cannot find anything that's posted on their website even if it shows to be in-stock. The help there is minimal. No one knows anything or where to find something and they make no attempt in searching. Either they need to hire experienced people or those who like to work.

Cameron Stevens

If you're in Elliot Lake and need anything, as always Canadian Tire is a great choice. They're well stocked and have very helpful staff, especially Reed, who offers grest customer service, willing to go above and beyond to help the customer.

Jessica Lalande

Love this place

Wayne Lake

We usually wait until we go to Sudbury to buy most things we need since this store is small and has a limited amount of merchandise to pick from. The Canadian Tire store in Sudbury is the size of a Costco and has plenty of product options.

SuZy

Brandon

kevin clancy

Monique Proulx

What a nice change. The New owner was actually on the floor. Helping customers, setting up new merchandise. This it's a welcome positive change.

dena lynn milton

It's frustrating that the actual store isn't open but I went to canadiantire.ca is an easy option. ????

Wandering Elk

Found what i was looking for quickly and easily store was clean checkout staff polite.

Anne Dahmer

It took a longer time frame than it should have to get my new tires - well over a week and a half so I wasn't happy. The Parts Services staff to me weren't exceptionally helpful or willing to do more to get the order delivered

Brian McFadyen

Typical town Canadian Tire. Trying to have everything for everyone, so maximizing inventory space means smaller isles and crowded isle-ways. Found what we wanted. Had a wide variety of winter equipment stacked in the seasonal outdoor covered section. Checkout staff was nice.

Nancy Edwards

Had awesome service from the paint dept. Helped me find everything I needed.

Donna Wade

This is a smaller store than I am used to but they seem to have a fairly good selection of items. They are in the process of changing shelves at the moment

Robson Grant

If you like to spend money for nothing...get your car fixed here! They do the bare minimum. I brought my car into them to fix an issue because my rear tires wore down to the cords so they made me buy 4 tires ($581) instead of just two because I have an AWD and they said the issue was caused by a worn bushing so I paid them $400 to fix it and then 7k kms later my rear tires were worn down to the cords again and it cost me another $251 to replace them AGAIN and they said oh well we thought that the bushing was the issue. They misinformed me because they said there was no alignment needed in the rear. I have never had any luck with Canadian Tire mechanics ripping me off and Elliot Lake is no exception!

reactancomentari 3.o

Huge selection of tools and not bad prices

David Mcgibbon

It was ok but could have better experience.

Paul Owl

Great staff

Driver

Very Very slow! And they are rude. Is 6h not enough time to get a 1 item order ready? Not good.

SixFootGrizzly

They had nothing in stock. And one of the managers there seemed pretty "useless" when I asked him some questions. Overall bad experience. Mind you the students that worked there were very nice.

Richard Hodge

Staff are friendly the service is good.The only complaint was the space between isles.

Helen Rae

Purchased coffee maker and small ottoman. The young man who helped us as very friendly and had excellent customer service skills

Don Ketchen FCPA

Online inventory indicates one or two items but when you get to the store there are none.

Ted Neill

I have had good experiences with both the store and the auto service. While to store is somewhat cramped I have had reasonable assistance in locating items from staff.

Steph Arch

Too small, cramped and dingy. They really need a new store. Staff members are terrific however and make it worth going just the same.

marc mackay

Typical Canadian Tire store, good staff, but handicapped by small store size.

Celeste Bouchard

Great place to get garden supplies, tools, sports equipment, or even to get your car fixed at the garage, but it is pretty expensive in there for my liking

Fernand Vachon

Always have whatever you want to down to the most particular item, its amazing

Darci Jane

**SEE EDIT (Knowledgeable staff especially in the auto department, never hard to find someone to help you. They have a lot of inventory but that being said, the negative is narrow isles throughout the store. You can barely push a cart without banging into corners which I find difficult with three young children, so it's noticeable for me.) **EDIT when I was asked to write a review, I mistakenly thought it was for the Canadian Tire in Espanola. The review in brackets is for the Espanola location and the difference is that the isles are not as narrow or difficult to navigate in Elliot Lakes' Canadian Tire and I would not have removed a star from my rating.

Denise Duquette

On every Sunday morning, one of the busiest time, they only have 1 cashier before 10 am. Do not shop before then because you will have a minimum 45 minute wait should you be customer number two. This was my case and it piss me off.

C.S. Dugas

I have always found the staff friendly and helpful, and the range of products is great.

Roy Whitman

This store is a waste of time . I try to shop local however they never have the sale stuff out. Hardly ever carry what I need . I find myself having to go to Espanola to get items that should be in stock for a sale .

Richard Ingram

Friendly atmosphere but small store. Unable to carry everything.

thom arnold

Great auto and in store service. Like small town.

Roman Desrosiers

What lacks in supplies they make up in customer service! Edit 2021: Best prices for fishing gear, and very helpful staff. Big line ups since covid, but I'm glad they're open again!

Adam David

I had some issues this last time I went there, however as I was leaving the parking lot in my vehicle, one of the older women that works there asked if she could help me. And I was able to get my $200 item. It's a very busy place, the staff is hit or miss, the good ones are so busy they don't get to stop.. while the other ones stand and look at the wall. I would go back, but it's hit or miss.

Dave

Completely useless since covid. You might as well shop at Amazon as you will get better service there. Nobody will answer the phone and if they do, they'll just transfer you to someone that doesn't answer their phone. Update: I called the number that was given to me. It's just a generic Canadian Tire phone number. I was put on hold. Probably "because of Covid".

Greg McGibbon

Had good help from the plumbing department Saturday

Rick Stasiuk

Small store but clean and well stock for the size of store.

Walter Tidd

Nice to go into the store.always great service .

weekend warrior

Had trouble finding product, found peter who helped me and was very polite and a++++

Tammy Martin

Quick, friendly service, they were very helpful at the automotive desk. The cashier was very friendly as well. Great store, great service.

Kerri Sholtz

This location has been pretty amazing during the Pandemic!

David Macdonald

Poorest customer service. Exasperated and rude from the go. No smile no service. Don't bother asking questions.

Peter Pederiva

Good location good selection okay prices but unbelievably busy at lunchtime today. What the...????

Mike

Always our favorite stores.

Alishia Townsend

They always have what you want with excellent service

boSS hoSS

Thanks to Tyler and Peter for going over and above customer service to help me get my stuff today!

Marie-Louise Kelday

Nothing to say. Will travel to Espanola anytime!

tom mill

I would give zero stars if it was possible. My wife wrote an email complaint to the store owner last week about a terrible experience we had with the clerk who was on duty at the service desk. Have not heard a word from the owner as of yet, five days later. I noticed that the owner only seems to respond to the good reviews on the web site. Some of the staff need retraining in the customer service department. I will no longer be shopping here in Elliot Lake at this Canadian Tire store, I will now be going to Espanola if I really need anything from Canadian Tire.

jim nogood

The Elliot Lake online service is a joke. When I placed an order online at 11:30 am, the Point Of Sale online inventory shows they had plenty of the item on stock. My store pick up was assigned as the following day. I immediately received a notice that the order is being process. I noticed the store inventory started to decrease slowly. The next morning, I noticed the store inventory slowly decreasing to ZERO. At 12:30 pm, I received an email that my order has been CANCELLED ( not by me ) and no rain check. Why did they fill my online order at the last second??? Filed compliant with a reference number to the corporate office. No response from them either. Everywhere else, Canadian Tire is doing a fine job building their online pickup service. Not here in Elliot Lake.

Joey Joejoe

Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, they do the best they can with the limited space they have. One cashier, who I assume is the head cashier, is extremely rude and overbearing. On several occasions I've witnessed her belittle and berate other cashiers and customers, including myself on one occasion. I've heard her talk about customers who were only a few feet away at the next cash register. She needs to be fired ASAP. I WILL be talking to the manager the next time I witness such disgusting degrading behaviour. It's nice to see the new managers fire some of the other ignorant people especially those who worked in the parts department for so long.

Karen Goemans

Great customer service. Very friendly and helpful

Terry Malley

Last 2 visits where excellent. Very very pleasant and professional service.

keith macdougall

Considerably smaller than most modern stores, but it has a good selection of what you need, also has a gas bar

Shane Poelemans

Complete joke. Staff has no idea what's in stock and if they do they have no clue where it is. Then when you ask them to find something they hide till you leave. Assuming you can even get an employee to acknowledge you at all.

Bill Inwood

Staff needs to smile more and be more friendlier

Sabrina England

Lots of helpful staff. Very direct and to the point. Lots of variety for a medium sized town Canadian tire. Garage has been known to overcharge but is always ready to make it right when you notice the issue! Always has some sort of sale event happening. Most of the grocery carts have seat belts that aren’t broken which is a great change when you have two little ones to bring in. Great for rain checks. Auto parts staff is a bit understaffed at times but for the most part is very knowledgeable. We frequent here almost every week and very rarely is it a negative shop for us! Overall a great experience Would recommend to any do it yourself-er or auto enthusiast.

Beverley Ranieri

Staff always helpful and pleasant

Brian Piche

I own a mobility bike and they moved a display so that I can get out easily good store good people.

Mark

Now here is a Canadian tire that has everything that you need under one roof and more! We enjoyed our visit here, lots of snow, a real winter wonderland.

Guy Bonneville

On Wednesday 19 February 2020, my wife and I attended the Elliot Lake CTC for the purpose of purchasing snowshoes. We were assisted by a store associate by the name of Terry. This gentleman has the patience of Jobe. He went above and beyond any service we have ever received at any big city CTC. He retrieved at least three different sets (brands) of snowshoes for each of us, and ensured that they fit and that we were comfortable with our purchase. This gentleman is a real credit to his store and should be recognized as such.

Donna Rochon

Terrible. Went several times over the summer to buy high end items that showed in stock but "can't be found." Some staff is fabulous, others are quite inefficient. One of the worst Canadian Tire stores I've shopped at.

Alan Needs

Bought AA batteries.

Karen Jensen

I found the young man I dealt with was very helpful friendly.

Murielle Enosse

Good sevive

Christine Phillips

Not a fan. I never get help from staff..ever....never a greeting or friendly face. They always make you feel like your in their way! Cashiers have been pleasant tho.

Bruce Panagapko

Just wanted to get a price on something and had no problems finding it

Raymond Goulet

They never have stock

Michel Drouin

Great employee's

Sandra Kelterborn

Always great..

jenn davis

Only curbside pickup

Mark Ploeg

It makes elliot liveable i guess

Richard Mclean

Worst Canadian Tire I've ever shopped at. Poor inventory, management and most of the staff. I now shop only at the Espanola CTC.

Dee M

3 things I want to comment on; 1. The staff in 99% are very nice and helpful but VERY UNDER staffed. The 1% sucks when the manager is not available. 2. The items on sale are poorly marked, often NOT on shelf, nor is the price. The store itself, is too small. 3. The electronic price check is a joke; If I want to check the price guess what? It directs me to check the price elsewhere!? I don't shop there if I can help it. I avoid it if I can help it but most times...I don't have a choice. The entire structure and function as a store TOTALLY SUCKS!!!

Glen Follett

Great little local CTC. Nice friendly helpful staff with quick service. Gas bar available here too.

Larry Burke

Droped a tire off to be repaired at 9am. to pickup at 11am. When I got there at 11am it was not even touched! Besides they wanted $20 . to just put it back on the car. On top of the $38 to fix it.. so I took it to Choice Tire got it done for $28. put back on. So i will never go back there again.. There service dept.. needs a major over haul.. Starting with the service manager..

Elaine Finn

Always lots to look at for your home. Got a good deal on Timothy's K- cup pods.

Dennis Davlut

Great mech finally at this store

DJN

Tiny and cramped, but it'll do in a pinch.

Michelle MacEachern

The service is always great thanks to Doug

Sasha Bloxam

Helpful staff and the cashier was incredibly kind.

Lisa l

They also sell tires and have mechanics. In the summer they have a garden centre. As It's a tiny building, well, compared to the monster stores that are being built now. They pack a lot in that little space. Sometimes it's only one or two of an item which can suck if three people need the same thing in the same day. Everyone who works here is great. They know where everything is and are more than happy to help. Also. I have to say they are always fully staffed. You can always find someone. Well it's rhe only one in Elliot lake and the next one is an hour away so it's the best bet.

Bernd Kopp

Very friendly and helpful staff, good selection. The associate in automotive even helped us pumping up our tires although we just asked for the nearest tire pressure check station.

Nadine Partridge

I was very insulted by an employee today. I stopped to ask an employee where heaters were , she told me but she looked at me with suspicion, which confused me. I suddenly realized she suspected me of stealing. I was very perturbed and seconds later she came with a co-worker and instructed me to take my travel cart to the front of the store. I was not happy and swore as I went to check out my purchases. I was adamant I would not be returning to the store any time soon. I left my complaint at the checkout with my cashier and as it turned out the acting manager was at the next till. The cashier was pleasant and tried to get me to understand it was store policy that all bags and carts be left at the front. After 6 years living here I never knew that. Never saw any of the signs posted throughout the store. As I was leaving I ran into Deb, your wonderful employee. After explaining to her what happened she quickly explained the extreme theft problem within all stores in Elliot but apologised for my experience. She has away about her that makes your day better and brighter. I just wanted to say thanks and I had know idea the problem of theft was so rampant. Suggestion: Maybe the signs could be updated and a little brighter and more noticeable. Also sorry for my rudeness to the other employee, but she could of handled it differently. Signed an enlighten customer and very disappointed with the residents of Elliot Lake who spoil it for everyone. It's 4 Stars now

Char Young

It's a CTC - not enuf staff or they r all hiding

Retirement House Rentals

I was returning an item that was faulty and I was treated like a criminal it took 45 mins and the employee called her mgr and he hmmd and hawed. I was getting furious by this point, I mean wow really. Really realty bad service. I have spent a lot of money there and to be treated that way just ridiculous.
