Canadian Tire

What visitors say

This Canadian Tire in Prince Albert is a full-size store, with sporting goods listed alongside auto parts, tires, home goods and a garden centre. It draws a lot of traffic and has well over a thousand Google reviews, most of them positive, though the handful of recent written reviews says little about the fishing or outdoor aisles.

What reviewers do talk about is the auto service department, and they are split on it. One driver praised quick, friendly and affordable repair work. Another, after three oil changes in six months, got three different inspection results and no clear answer from the manager about which one was right. A winter visitor also found nobody available to help with a simple tire pressure check.

Stock and communication are the other sore points. A recent shopper said items are often missing from the shelves and have to come from the warehouse. An out-of-town customer picking up an online order couldn't get anyone to answer the phone for days, then found the warehouse opened later than the store.

If you're heading here for fishing or camping gear, check stock online or call ahead before a long drive, and confirm pickup hours for online orders. For auto work, keep your inspection reports so you can compare them between visits.
