The Campbell River Canadian Tire has recently undergone a series of upgrades, bringing a new wave of excellence in automotive service to the community. With state-of-the-art technology, a dedicated team and a commitment to customer satisfaction, this service centre is now set up to deliver exceptional automotive care.
Under the leadership of store owner Grant Wood, the service centre has been renovated from top to bottom.
“We’ve added the newest and best equipment to service the community and our customers to the greatest extent possible,” Wood says, pointing to comprehensive upgrades that include new hoists, diagnostic tools and a state-of-the-art alignment machine, all designed to provide precise and efficient service.
Another standout feature of the new service centre is the addition of Mandy, a Red Seal-licensed technician with nearly 35 years of industry experience. Joining him is his son, Jas, an apprentice following in his father’s footsteps. This father-son duo brings a wealth of knowledge and a personal touch to the service centre.
“Grant has been a great leader. He’s really invested in making this work, and I’m always up for a challenge,” Mandy says with a smile.
At Campbell River Canadian Tire, automotive service is a relationship-based endeavour. “Our goal is to provide top-notch, honest and accurate maintenance advice to our customers, helping them achieve longevity out of their vehicles,” explains Grant, grateful for the long-term relationships this philosophy of trust and reliability has fostered.
Understanding the unique needs of the Campbell River market, the service centre has made specific adjustments to better serve local customers. “Through our renovation, we’ve curtailed our equipment to best serve this market and the vehicles that exist in it, including all sizes of pickup trucks and larger vehicles,” Grant notes. By increasing the capacity of their hoists, for example, they can now handle the heavier vehicles common in the region.
Mandy’s journey reflects the commitment to professional growth and mentorship that defines the Campbell River Canadian Tire.
“I started my career with Canadian Tire, and the opportunities for upgrading and learning have been crucial for my professional growth,” Mandy emphasizes. “The trade changes rapidly, and if you don’t have an employer willing to send you to school and keep your shop tools updated, you can’t do today’s vehicle repairs.
“Coming out of school, Jas also did well, graduating top of his class, just like his father. Now, I’m training him to reach the same high level we expect here, to ensure a seamless transition and high service standards for our customers."
At Campbell River Canadian Tire, the combination of cutting-edge technology, expert technicians, and a customer-focused approach creates a service experience that is second to none.
