This isn't a new problem.

Canadian Tire has always hired inexperienced "mechanics" and paid them as little as possible.

Before i could drive, I remember my dad's friends all complaining about their first and last experience having work done on their cars at CanTire.

    Their mechanics are all licenced. This is not a Canadian Tire problem, it's a trades certification problem and Ontario has basically eliminated trades certification inspectors since the fat man took over. It's also impossible to report a mechanic. I had one sign off on a motorcycle safety with no working brakes.
