Routine oil change turns into highway hazard after Canadian Tire uses plastic zip ties for repair, says driver


Canadian Tire promotes its auto service centres as "Canada's Garage," but a Newfoundland man says his experience is a warning about the risks of trusting that reputation. He says he lost control of his vehicle on the highway after Canadian Tire used plastic zip ties instead of proper metal bolts to secure a critical part of his car. Auto safety experts say this exposes the potential dangers of a quick fix.
