NEVER AGAIN
I was told by alot of people not to take my car in to canadian tire but I had no choice. I drive a 2007 acura TL and believe me I had no choice my radiator was leaking (very small leak) that went unnoticed until my car temp gauge started climbing my car still drove well but I knew I had to get it checked Acura was closed and would not open untill monday (it was saturday evening when I noticed) and I had to take a long drive out of town for business so I thought I could trust Canadian tire to check and maybe temp fix my car till monday. BIG MISTAKE first the lady at the front desk offered the check up at $36.00 then the mech told me I had to pay $48 we argues long sotry short I made him call the lady and had her tell him the price she qouted and he changed his song right away from we would never charge only $36 to no problem we will only charge you $36. I could tell he was upset, shortly after they started checking what was leaking he called and said I needed a new radiator and it would cost me around $950 for a new radiator and thats not even including the labor. I laughed at him and said don't touch my car put it back together ill come get it. Since my friend is a mechanic and has a shop (which was also closed till monday) and told me that he could get me one for $250-$300 anyhow when I went to pick up my car it went from 1 drip of coolant every 5 minutes to gushing coolant. I filled the coolant tank and overfill and within 5 minutes it would empty, and if that wasn't enough all of the sudden my car developed transmission problems that were never there to begin with. And when I say developed I don'y mean over a few days I mean soon as I started my car after being given my keys back from the Canadian tire people. My RPM was going up really high and my car would barely move. Since they had closed the shop I called the Mechanic and he rudely told me that it was not there fault it was mine for not wanting them to fix the car and wanting to go elsewhere and find a cheaper deal. That was the reason my transmission was now gone. And the worst part about it was that I hadn't even mentioned to him that my transmission was giving problems yet all I said to him was Hello I brought my car in today to get it checked for a coolant leak and now i'm having problems. SO how did he already know I had transmission problems???? Im taking my car to my mechanic on Monday if he even suspects that my car was tampered with this guy will be headed to the next life.. Unfortunatly I cannot prove what was wrong with my car before I brought it in its my word against his and I heard stories about Canadian Tire and I decided to trust them and I was let down hard. I will make sure to tell everyone I know never to go there. I work in a restaurant that does about 6000 Guest a week I will be telling as many people as I can about my experience and my indian friend that decided to screw with my car will pay the ultimate price.
