Congratulations are in order! We have two shining stars to celebrate as both Lisa and Marshall received awards for their hard work in their Dale Carnegie courses. Here's the scoop!

What this means is she went completely out of her comfort zone. She dug deep and shared a personal topic. She was genuine, sincere and honest in her presentation and she did that week 2 of her 12 week course which speaks volumes that she was able to get there after one session.

Marshall - Outstanding Performance
Marshall was able to deliver his message with an incredible amount of enthusiasm and passion. We know Marshall is a very vocal and animated person, he enjoys sharing his experiences and is pretty much an open book but in front of his peers at DC, he was able to dig deep and present himself authentically which an amazing skill. Thank you to both Lisa and Marshall for taking CTR up on our offer for personal development courses. It is our pleasure and honor to have team members like the both of you who take time for personal growth.

CTR is proud to report we spent $25, 902 on employee training in 2021. Way to go team. Keep shining!

This past Thursday, TikTok explained that Tim Hortons cups are a scam. They stated size large cups are the same size as size XL, stating just the shape of the cup is different...well this seemed "fishy" so our Carrier crew put TikTok to the test at Friday's 8:00 AM stand-up...guess what! TikTok lied! Tim Horton's XL cups holds an extra 3 ounces!!

Carrier's win for the day....don't believe everything you see on TikTok!

Hahah! Fortunately, Carrier had many more important wins this past Friday; the boys hammered out service work in the shop at 986 Wall St and the road warriors reached customers at every end of the city. Way to go CTR, and thanks for starting the weekend off with a smile!

Seen here: Mark, Kyle and Wes testing TikTok!

Sanitizing Offerings at CTR

Jan 6th 2022

Hello everyone!

It goes without saying that navigating through a pandemic for an extended period of time has been challenging for all of us.

Did you know that CTR carries a variety of cleaning and disinfecting products that are suitable for both home and businesses? Our Spray Nine cleaner is currently on sale - $19.99 for a one-gallon bottle!

Give us a call or come in for a visit to check out our cleaning products on hand.

When's the last time you changed your air filter??

Jan 4th 2022

Fun fact: These two air filters are the same part number - bet you couldn't tell because one is so filthy!

It is important to check your air filter regularly because they capture dirt and debris from the outside air, compromising your vehicle engine. Air filter replacement is a small and simple task. We highly recommend regular replacements during routine scheduled maintenance versus facing potential large vehicle repair bills down the road!

At CTR, we have plenty of stock of air, fuel, cabin, and oil filters.

Happy New Year!!

Jan 1st 2022

CTR is sending our best to you as we enter a brand-new year! 2022 already!! Thank you to our amazing customers for your loyalty and support these past 53 years. Thank you to our team, we are stronger then ever and feeling fortunate to march ahead during these past two difficult years. We send our strength and positive thoughts to our local partners needing an extra boost. Thank you to our team's families for your support, as CTR wouldn't be where we are today without our loved ones.

Stay safe and HNY!
