“Went there to buy my first firearm. Thomas helped me, excellent service. He patiently explained every details of the firearm, provided some recommendations. I have been to other major firearm store, but i have to say they have great staff here. Everyone is very friendly with a smile, honest, professional, patient. Even though for a first time buyer, no push, take times to walk you through the process. I will definitely come back to purchase my next firearm here. EXCELLENT service! THANK YOU Thomas!”

“I went here to buy a rifle and the wait line was ridiculous. I just think there is a better way to do business with folks dropping a lot of money in your store. Just my humble opinion.”

800 Griffiths Way, Vancouver, BC V6B 6G1, Canada

“Recently purchased a bunch of stuff online from the Canucks store including some bobbleheads. The items were very poorly packaged. One of the bobbleheads came completely crushed. I sent an email to the team store and got the usual instant reply that someone would get to me in 3-5 days. Zero reply. Very disappointing experience. Be cautious ordering online from them. Very poor customer service.”

650 Hillside Ave, Victoria, BC V8T 1Z2, Canada

“I only leave reviews when I get exceptional service (if you don't have something nice to say..). Russ Hay's is exceptional. I have ridden my bike across nine countries in the last six years and I have dealt with a lot of bike shops, often with the same problem that none of them seemed to be able to fix (gearing issue). Russ Hay's experienced staff fixed it. The welcoming staff, the exceptional service, the perfect assessment of what was needed, and the fair cost for parts and labor were all top notch. I wouldn't go anywhere else if I had a choice. I just wish they had a shop in Aruba (my next biking adventure)!”

“Canadian Tire Store Review - Terrace, BC I recently had the pleasure of shopping at the Canadian Tire store located in Terrace, BC, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The store not only offers a wide range of products and services but also strives to provide a convenient and accessible shopping experience for all customers. One of the highlights of my visit was the variety of service options available. The store provides curbside pickup, in-store pickup, and in-store shopping, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of shoppers. For instance, I had ordered a few items online for in-store pickup, and the process was seamless. The staff had my order ready within the promised time frame, making my shopping experience extremely convenient. Another noteworthy aspect of the Canadian Tire store in Terrace is its accessibility. The store has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and a well-maintained parking lot with designated spaces for those with disabilities. This attention to detail ensures that everyone can have an enjoyable shopping experience. During my visit, I also took advantage of their repair services for a faulty tire on my car. The technicians were knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly, adding immense value to my overall shopping experience. It was truly a one-stop-shop for all my automotive needs. To top it all off, the store offers a range of payment options, including cash-only, debit cards, NFC mobile payments, and credit cards. This flexibility made transactions smooth and hassle-free. For example, I used my smartphone's NFC payment feature, and the process was quick and secure. In conclusion, the Canadian Tire store in Terrace, BC, exceeded my expectations with its exceptional service options, accessibility, and offerings. I wholeheartedly recommend this store to others and am looking forward to my next visit.”

“I’ve been using Arrowsmith bikes Parksville and Nanaimo locations for a few years and highly recommend them for everything bike related. Many times I’ve dropped in after a ride needing help so I can ride again the next day and they always do everything they can to get me back on the trails asap! Thank you everyone at AMC!”

Broadmead Village Shopping Centre, 801 Royal Oak Dr, Victoria, BC V8X 4V1, Canada

“I have been using this auto shop for over five years now. They always do an excellent job and the staff there are so lovely. Shannon was extra helpful today and I just wanted to give her a shout out, because she deserves it. I wish I knew the other gentleman that worked the front desk, because he has supported me many times over the years and he is just wonderful. He mentioned he is retiring soon, so I also wanted to give him a shout out for being wonderful employee.”

“review date: september 10, 2017 i'm from ontario and was doing research for the bauer 2017 flex warm-up pants. i would like to share my CTS shopping experience. back in august 2017, the only outfits that were coming up on google search for what i wanted were us-based sites. while i was prepared to buy from the states, if i can get a reasonable price and the item i want from canada, i will keep my dollars here. as a customer, it pays to shop around to get what you want at a fair price. to CTS' credit, (cts price match guarantee) they were willing go that extra mile, price matching on a competitor and special/back ordering specific colours i was looking for that weren't originally available. throughout all communications, justin taylor was very professional and caring, as if it was his own personal order, doing whatever it took to provide answers, and satisfaction. information updates were quick and timely. i ended up being able to get what i wanted at an even better price than the california website, factoring in extra duty fees and exchange difference. i just got my gear today, and the pants overall were worth the time and effort to purchase. (there were back-ordered items that had to be brought in from bauer to CTS b4 shipping) CTS, esp. justin, your customer service is greatly appreciated because here in ontario there is a lot of room for improvement with many of the retailers, to be polite. that being said, the next time you are in the market for hockey-related gear, give CTS a chance to earn your business. and if you don't see something on their website, inquire with CTS because they just might be able to get whatever it is for you. review update: august 25, 2018 this is an add-on to the original review. we did another hockey apparel deal for 2018. bauer flex pants CCM ballcaps and 9fifty bauer/new era ballcaps were ordered in late july and were received in mid-august. these were custom back-ordered items that to be clear, was not the fault of cts for the time delay. upon receiving the items my friend, son and i are very pleased with the pants and hats. we have gotten and will most likely receive many compliments. thanks to justin taylor, (and his cts people) for his care and concern in doing everything he could to make the deal a pleasant shopping experience. 👍 cts does price match with proof on qualified items. they also offer free shipping upon reaching spending thresholds. for more information, review their website. thank you CTS for making that extra effort to get custom items that southern ontario retailers are unwilling or too lazy to bother with! 😊 cheers to CTS-BC from southern ontario.”

“The best music store around. After having a terrible experience at another music store, I brought my daughter here and she was treated so well and had so much fun. The staff here are absolutely top-notch and so helpful. Thank you guys for your patience, knowledge and genuine encouragement. You all rock!”

“Staff is super friendly and inviting, even four legged friends invited in. Great selection for all, nice variety of sizes. Fitting rooms accessible. Over all great experience!”

106W 1 St, Vanderhoof, BC V0J 3A0, Canada

“Happy online customer from Alberta. Ordered some reloading projectiles the Sunday midnight, order showed up my door Tuesday afternoon. That’s 1.5 day shipping, almost Amazon prime speed. Regular price is usually slightly higher than other places but they always have what I want in stock, and that Black Friday pricing and free shipping deal is sweet.”

20150 Langley Bypass UNIT #60, Langley, BC V3A 9J8, Canada

“Wide range of outdoors clothing and gear: everything you'd need to go hiking or camping including tents, sleeping bags, hiking boots, and cooking gear. I was able to find what I needed without any difficulty. Staff were very approachable and customer focused; several casually offered to help with finding what I was looking for. Prices ranged from modest to premium; they also had a variety of clothes on discount racks at the back, although the discounted prices were still relatively high. They did have a surprisingly good offer for Triangle Rewards points, which I'd look out for next visit.”

4800 Kingsway F7, Burnaby, BC V5H 4J2, Canada

“I needed to exchange for a smaller size for my daughter but lost my receipt. In the meantime, they had sold out and it had been discounted. They were able to go off my credit card transaction, create me an account, and order the correct size to be shipped to my door. My daughter had also opted for another color which they were happy to accommodate. I had tried earlier at the Guilford location and found the staff there to be overly difficult about the situation, especially after the excellent service I received here.”

1793 W 4th Ave, Vancouver, BC V6J 1M2, Canada

“The staff that helped me was so kind and genuine and made the experience so much easier. Tried all three stores in the area and ended up coming back here. Really tried to understand what I needed and how I was as a rider.”

12101 72 Ave #120, Surrey, BC V3W 2M1, Canada

“Lovely store, still clean and organized during the holiday rush. Selection was good, but what really made my day was my experience with the staff. I had placed an online order and the website was not updated unfortunately.when I arrived at the store the tshirt was not available, but the sales rep, Dominick (sp, sorry!) was helpful and genuinely sorry - they showed me an alternative and it fit the bill. Kudos to this young associate working on what is probably one of the hardest days of the year, and managing to remain cheerful, and genuine, and helpful, even faced with a difficult situation. Well done! And well done to their manager Daniel who recognized an excellent employee and has done a great job training, supervising, and doing their job. Two great representatives of sport Chek. The store should be very proud! Merry Christmas!”
