In mid-July, 2017 I went to the East Mall CAA location in Toronto in order to get a triptik for my trip in the USA & Ontario as well as get maps & guides. I spent probably about 20 minutes there, providing information to the CAA employee on my exact route.
The employee diligently entered everything in the computer and said it would be mailed to me in the beginning of August.
As to maps and guides, I was quite disappointed because I only received the Ontario map & guide—there were no maps & guides of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan available. I was told to come back in several days to get them.
At the end of August, when I was coming back from my vacation, I picked up the remaining guides & maps from the Bellville CAA office—it was a little out of my way, but I did not want to take any chances with the East Mall CAA office.
As of August 14, 2017, I had not received the triptik. I called the main CAA number and was told that there was no record of my triptik or of my visit to the East Mall CAA office.
Subsequently I called the CAA East Mall office. After being put on hold for at least 30 minutes, I finally spoke to somebody. She told me that she was unable to find anything about my Minnesota triptik in the computer either. She offered to make a new one and suggested that I make one myself online, but at this point I gave up—I had already spent too much time visiting two CAA offices and then calling them.
The same day I emailed this message to CAA; six days later I am still waiting for the reply.
I am really disappointed with the level of service I received—or rather did NOT receive!
