I purchased a bumper bull bar from CARiD for a Chevy Equinox only to receive Honda CRV parts. So i called twice with no less than 1 hour wait time each time i called to request exchange. 3 weeks later they sent me new parts but it was for Honda CRV again. I asked for a refund but was refused because it passed 30 days refund period. CARiD is a bull $#*! company you want to stay as far as you can. I'm calling my bank to claim charge back. What a waste of my time!
I ordered 3sdm rims from carid. They had me waiting for months. When I called they told me the order was not processed. They remember to take my money but forget to process my order? I canceled my order because they didn't communicate this to me until I had to call. I waited almost an hour to get connected to a subpar rep. I won't be ordering from this website.

I called to check prices on part for my Cadillac, representative was rude, had Loud Hispanic music playing in background. When I told him I wanted to call back after checking with my mechanic's availability, he asked for my credit card info, then made sarcastic comments and hung up. I advise anyone, be aware, this company does not present themselves as a reputable company.

I bought a carbon fiber spoiler where it was damaged, the part took long time to get to me. So, I opened a claim with CARID along with UPS, but never got an update on my status. Contacted them 2 weeks later, and they told me that UPS closed the claim due to the fact I did not send the part to them. I sent the part and had a tracking number on it. Now, I think it is going to be so hard to get the part back. The other thing you have to be aware of is to check the package and see any damages and refuse to receive the item. UPS left the item on my door and did not even knock even though I was waiting for the item inside my house (UPS do not care about customer)-The package came to my door totally abused.

i purchased custom seat covers for my car. when i got them, one was not even the right size and they were so cheap feeling and cheaply made so i had to return them. they notified me that they found a few dog hairs on the seat covers and refused my refund. i have a tiny chihuahua and i'm sure a few tiny dog hairs land on most things in my house. i did not damage the seat covers, they were still brand new. WTF
I ordered in AVS channel window deflectors For my 2020 Nissan Murano and installed on my car first thing I noticed is the double sided tape was very cheap not 3M and material has to be the cheapest plastic on the market they did not have tape around whole visor so when you install them the one end is not secure and your window will hit them even the end with tape did not stick and his also stopping my window from closing! And they will not return item because I installed it first. How will you know if it works without installing them? Very disappointed and customer service is horrible stay away from CARiD!

I ordered tail lights a month ago and received the wrong ones. When I sent them pictures I did not get a response so I called and they then told me I needed to send more pictures. I did then got another email asking for more pictures. I have sent them everything they ask and I'm hearing nothing back from them. I waited on hold for an hour just for them to tell me I need to wait. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a company. I would highly recommend NEVER doing business with them.

I ordered an accelerator shift sensor and recieved a fender light. I called and did live chat only to get the run around. The representative I spoke with via chat was supposed to send me the information to return the item via email and refund me for the item. I never received the email. I then called and the representative was supposed to send me my correct item and give me a 10% off coupon. I have not received my part or refund to my account. I started a chat today 2x and was ignored by the reps. This is the worst company I have ever done business with over the web. I will not be doing business here again.

They received core back Aug. 4th 9:04am and signed for it per fed ex records. 2 chats and 1 phone call to rectify the problem and its still not corrected even when I proved with receipt and fed ex tracking number it was returned to their own fed ex print label location. Have turned them over to visa and my bank for rectification to get the $300 dollars they owe me back. Would not recommend this company if they cant correct problems as simple as shipping.

Do not ever buy from this company. They are quick to charge your account but takes long to ship the items. When I finally received my purchase, there was an item missing. I messaged them saying I am missing the item, which apparently I had to prove my case, then finally they confirmed its not out of stock, lol. The best they could do is 25 dollar store credit. No I don't want to buy anything from you again and the part is worth more than triple than 25. Still fighting the fight with them.

These people are the worst. My husband and I ordered a set of wheels on August 3,2020. They quickly debited our account for $645 and offered me a ship date of August 5,2020. We still do not have our product and they cannot give me a status because the warehouse won't answer. I've also asked to speak to a supervisor and they always tell me that there is no supervisor available and that they have told me all they are going to tell me. On Friday August7 I asked for a refund and then again on Monday August 10, and Tuesday August 11. I was told they will not issue one until they talk to the warehouse. If you cannot get a status because they won't answer then how do expect to succeed on talking to them for a refund. My order still says processed but no status. At this point we want our money back, and since they refuse to assist us we have filed a dispute with our bank. No one is going to hold our money indefinitely. Especially when your customer service iS this bad. Rude bunch of people. BEWARE OF CARID.

I'm very disappointed with their manager Leah. I purchased front headlight assemblies, rear tail light assemblies and the third brake light. The warranty is for 12 months and I had my lights for 15 months. My right rear is not functioning, and the best they can do after I spent all that money is 25 dollars. They would not even sell the tight rear assembly alone, you have to buy the pair. I should have just went to Walmart. Truth be told, I didn't even get upset when they sent me the red tail lights when I ordered the smoke. There manager Leah needs customer service training. I'm definitely going to let my mustang club owners know not to order from this company!

I wrote a review in August about a hood my son purchased for his Mustang, that didn't fit and won't close. Chester, from CARid, responded and we exchanged a few emails. His solution to the POS hood they sent was for me to remove the new hood we bought from Cervinis, that actually fit, and reinstall the piece of sh*t hood and take more pics. After I refused to do this he graciously offered me a $40 credit to buy more crappy products from them. I declined. Beware of this company. The parts are below subpar, invest a little more money and buy a better quality product from another company.

The most irresponsible auto part sellers. I placed an order on a month ago on July 9, (order number *******). They charged me on the same day. I ordered 5 pcs of brake pads (Acdelco 171-1166). After 2 weeks they sent me 2 brake pads. According to them, they were out of stock of this product. However, I placed this order on the phone and the agent called Robert assured that they have more than 30 pcs in stock. I was told to wait until the product will be in stock. Today is August 9. No email, no calls about my product. But if you look at their website it says if you place order now it will be shipped within 24 hours. Whenever you ask at live chat, agents assure that they have in stock. But when you ask about the status of your order they have a template answer "We will contact the manufacturer and inform you within 24-48 hours". But these 24-48 business hours may last 1 month as in my case. Never buy parts from this seller. All agents are liers.
Dear Farhod,
Thank you for your response!
We are terribly sorry for the issues with your recent order.
In effort to provide our valued clients with the most up to date and accurate information, CARiD is continuously implementing real-time updates to our online superstore. We work directly with the manufacturers. We do understand that due to the immediate nature of some changes the aligning of the databases might take some time. Still, we are constantly working on improving our listing and fixing all inaccuracies if found.
We contacted you on 07/15/20 via phone call and informed that only 2 brake pads are available. According to your request, we have sent 2 brake pads and kept 3 other ones on a back order to ship them whenever they will become available.
From what i see on file, the missing 3 brake pads were successfully delivered on your shipping address on 8/14/2020.
Please, let us know if any further assistance is needed. We will gladly assist!
Looking forward to your answer!___

Ordered 3 things over a month ago. Car id shipped them with a "unknown shipper" what does that mean?!? They shipped it shouldn't they know with who... anyway ordered a month ago and every item was shipped separately between the 21 of July to the 5 of august. And I ordered on the 1st of July. I've been hounding them with emails and live chats but have never gotten a straight answer as to what I've been asking. I don't want anyone else to order from this site because it's just plain terrible. 9th of august still no sign of any of the items
Dear Isaiah,
We are terribly sorry to know about the issues with your recent order.
According to the most up-to-date information from the manufacturer, one of your parts was out of stock and the other one was lost in transit, therefore, the shipment was never received.
We are ready to provide you with a full amount of refund for both merchandises that were never delivered.
Please, check your email for details and let us know how you would like to proceed.
Looking forward to your answer!

While shopping for a car cover the message "free shipping" continually popped up. I placed an order for a car cover as well as two accessory items, one item for $15 and one for $30. After checking out I noticed that I was paying separate shipping on each of the accessories, the $15 item (a small package of plastic clips) had a $13 shipping charge and the $30 item had an $8 charge. I'll admit, I didn't read the small print about free shipping only applying to the car cover. But the separate shipping charges and the fact that one item had a shipping charge nearly equal to it's cost is outrageous. I immediately called their 800 number - I waited on hold for 30 minutes before I decided to try something online. I reached an agent via online chat and after many exchanges I found out that he could only request the cancellation of the order (it was still less than 60 minutes after the order was placed) and the decision wouldn't be made for 2 business days whether the order would be cancelled or not. I have dealt with many online companies and I have never had such poor service or the inability to cancel an order. I will never and I would advise anyone else to never order from CARiD. They have a good website and good product videos, but go someplace else to spend your money - CARiD is terrible!
Dear Michael,
We are terribly sorry to know about the issue with shipping cost you have recently encountered.
Upon checking your order, we have confirmed that these items should have never been assigned with shipping cost as they are indeed advertised with free shipping. Our IT department is already reviewing the issue and will be fixing shortly.
According to your cancellation request, the full amount of refund was already issued to the original payment method.
Please, check your email for details and additional compensation.
Looking forward to your answer!

I purchase a pair of PUTCO® *******S-360 - Plasma SwitchBack LED Bulbs (3157, White/Amber), Order # *******, for my 2009 Mercedes Benz from CARiD on August 4,2020, after being assured by one of their technician that it is an exact replacement without any modification needed. The bulbs arrived on August 7 but flash and do not work. CARiD will accept returns only through their customer service via Tel.*******564. However, they left me holding with the hope that I will hang up. I called back using two phones. They both said, "You are next in line" after an extremely long time. A person answered eventually after two hours, pretending to be taking my information and hung up on me during the process. She then sent an email captioned "Technical Problem Request" about "Self Service Tools" concerning '... your technical problems request'. I did not request technical, and needless to say that no email came. My only request is for a return label for sending back the bulbs for a refund. I am hoping for an honest and full resolution.
Dear Carver,
Please, accept our apologies for the issues with your LED bulbs and poor assistance provided in this regards.
From what i see, the return documents we issued you were successfully utilized and LED bulbs are already on their way back to the warehouse. The full amount of refund will be issued once the package will be delivered to its destination.
Please, check your email for details and additional compensation offered for the inconveniences caused.
Looking forward to your reply!

Answer: No, no no no no no no. Do not use this site. Go to a local shop and get a quality product with a warranty. Go to a store front.
Answer: Dear Jose A., The shipping timeframes depend on the type of the product you are going to purchase. Most of the items are on stock ready to be shipped, however, we list products which have to be manufactured. Shipping within the US usually takes up to 5 business days. To get more information, please call our Sales line at 800-505-3274 ext 81. We will be glad to answer all your questions. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Answer: Dear Liz K., That's a good question, but unfortunately, we do not have an answer on it. It is better to ask the SiteJabber support to explain how the rating calculates. To answer your question about why you should buy from us, I would say that we have a huge variety of the OE replacement and aftermarket automotive goods and if you are fixing or restoring your vehicle you must look through our website. We do guarantee the lowest price and good quality. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call at 800-505-3274. We will gladly assist you.

Answer: Thank you sitejabber... I will put out the extra money and buy my parts from pep boys. That way if I have a problem I can just walk into the store to return the item. This site is a God send because I was just about to place my order on CARid.com
Answer: They are only concerned about the sale and not the customer. Maybe the owner was in the used car buisness before!
Answer: Dear Chantal, Thank you for your questions. All prices on our website are given in US dollars. Please specify the item number you are interested in to me at [email protected] and your vehicle details and I will provide you with the total in Canadian dollars. Look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance!
Answer: Dear Tom, Thank you for paying your attention to the reviews posted for our store. Unfortunately, it is rare today that people take the time out of their day to recognize a job well done. They would rather go and let others know about the unfortunate that has happened to the order than say how positive they are about the service and products received. That is why you can see negative reviews only. Please specify your concern and your order information, so I could do everything possible to prevent you from writing another negative review. You may email me directly at [email protected] Look forward for your reply.
Answer: Dear Quincy, Thank you for your concern. We regret to know, that the mufflers did not meet your expectations and you decided to return them. Usually Magnaflow meaning vehicle specific high performance exhaust systems, with badges and polished tips etc. In this case the universal Magnaflow mufflers were purchased. They were true Magnaflow items, but universal fit. To ensure the precise fit, there was a need to measure the original mufflers and to purchase the ones with the same dimensions. Anyway, the mufflers are on their way back to the manufacturer. We will issue a full refund to your account upon receipt. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call at 800-505-3274 ext 82. We will be glad to assist you. Sincerely, Consumer Relations department at CARiD.com
Answer: Dear Morgan, We will be glad to cancel your order asap. Please call our Customer Service team at 800-505-3274 ext 82. Thank you
