How To Find The Best Tire Shop Near Me: Top-4 Consumer Tips

1.    Look For References And Reviews

“Use only businesses you know and trust,” states the Ministry of Consumer Services. “If you can’t get a referral, shop around with care. Check references and find customer reviews online.”

This can be tricky if you’re considering working with a relatively new tire shop, but then that’s the point—why roll the dice when you could work with a proven tire shop?

Since 1990, TIRECRACT has been committed to providing quality tire products and services for drivers across Canada, and our customers’ reviews speak for themselves.

Google “TIRECRAFT tire shop near me” to see what customers are saying about your local shop!

So even if you cannot get a referral from friends and family, you know a guy at your local TIRECRAFT!

2.    Check The Consumer Beware List

“Check a company’s track record by going to the Consumer Beware database,” states the Ministry of Consumer Services.

All consumer complaints submitted to the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery are posted there, even if the company has not been proven guilty, so make sure to check the “Charges Laid” section of the search results to filter out any baseless or unresolved claims.

Check the Consumer Beware list before you buy—it’s free and only takes a few keystrokes!

That said, the best tire shops shouldn’t have any complaints submitted to the Consumer Beware database. After more than 30 years in business, TIRECRAFT maintains a perfect track record:

3.    Look Around Your Local Tire Shop

The Consumer Protection Act requires that all tire shops display clear signage indicating:

• The shop’s labour rates and how they are calculated
• Whether you will be pay hourly or be charged a flat rate
• Any commission paid to mechanics

The best tire shops will also carry a broad selection of tires, and they should be relatively clean and organized, even during busy periods.

You’ll find it all at your local TIRECRAFT, and with 300+ locations around the country, you won’t have to go far.

4.    Check The Tire Shop’s Warranty

“The Consumer Protection Act provides that all repairs are warranted for a 90-day or 5,000-kilometre warranty (whichever comes first) on most new and used past as well as the labour costs,” states the Ministry of Transportation.

If your local tire shop does not offer you this basic level of coverage, it’s time to look elsewhere.

As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, TIRECRAFT takes your coverage even further, offering a 12-month or 20,000km warranty on all repairs and services.
