I contacted the service team late around 8:30pm Central time. I was trying to get my Militsry Discount and was unaware of the process to do so. I was put through to a gentleman right away. He was very informative and willing to help. He took me through the steps and got my order finalized within 15 minutes. 5 Stars for customer service. Great job and thank you for the Military Appreciation.

Recent purchase
April 19, 2017

The customer support was very helpful, the only reason I spoke with them so often was due to complications with a manufacturer. They gave me options moving forward and helped to the best of their ability.

Hello Jaime,

Thank you for taking time to post this feedback. On behalf of the company I want to apologize for all inconvenience you had encountered with during this transaction. I am sorry to know, that the shipment of the order was delayed, and the commercial invoice was lost, which delayed the shipment even more.
I looked into your profile and figured out, that you requested to issue a full refund to your account, because you had never received the product. I asked my Billing team to issue a refund to your account immediately. You will be receiving it within the next 24 business hours. The product will be returned to the manufacturer.
Once again, I do apologize for all inconvenience caused to you.

Sincerely,
Voice Of Client at CARiD.com

A few months ago I was thinking about buying a tonneau for my truck, After several email quesitons back and forth and a phone call, and despite Ebony's help, I was still indecisive. She was very helpful and helped me get my military discount, but I was still unclear which brand I wanted, so didn't buy.

Well, fast forward a few months and I finally decided to buy a different tonneau, and she answered my email immediately and helped process my purchase, very seamlessly, and I got my military discount. I chose CarID because of the price and selection, and it shipped faster than Amazon.

STAY AWAY
April 18, 2017

Long story. I bought 4 tpms sensors and one came defective. Four emails and four phone calls later, no resolution. Hold times on phone are 20-50 minutes. Annoying "be positive chatter while on hold. Got through once and agent couldn't hear me because of noise in call center and hung up on me. They asked me to go to website and order another, their FAST return option. They charged me for replacement and shipping for two orders, but won't give me an authorization to send the defective product back for a refund.

I bought a set of wheels for $2500 they told me they had complete, 3 weeks later every time I call, they tell me something different, each one telling a lie, 3 weeks passed and they told me that they can not give me back my money and neither Send them all because it is missing pieces. Liars, bad workers, company with no concept in my opinion. Never buy or even indicate.

Total junk
April 17, 2017

So I have redone a few cars in my life. I found Carid.com and thought, "wow, these guys have it all". Well they do. Except it's mostly junk. Total junk. I ordered seats, fenders, hood and more. And guess what... NONE OF IT FITS! The fenders have a huge gap and poorly shaped. No way to actually attach them. The hood has holes drilled in it... IN THE WRONG PLACE! The seats fit inside but the mounting hardware I "had to have" does nothing! I spent over $1k on this stuff and I get junk. I plan on calling the credit card company and letting them know I won't pay for it. They can deal with them. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! They rip you off!

Excellent products and decent customer service. Not always the best though. Have had some parts arrive not as ordered. Returning for exchanges can be difficult.

Purchased an aftermarket grille for my Tacoma from CARID - it did not fit properly and was not comparable to the images advertised on the site. I am still attempting to return this item after weeks of back and forth with customer service. I have spent HOURS on hold and still have not been able to make the simplest of returns. I hope this company fails. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

The website states "easy returns" this is so untrue. I had to go through pure hell to get an item returned/exchanged. I ordered a car cover and received it on 03/28/17. The car cover did not fit and I immediately contacted CARid. I was on hold for approximately 50 minutes and some finally answered. I had to take pictures of the car cover on the car and email them to CARid in which I did the same day. They indicated I would receive a response in 24-72 hours. I did not receive a response within that time frame and called them again on 04/03/17. I was on hold for 20 minutes this time. I spoke with a representative who indicated that they had the pictures that I emailed; however, nothing had been done on my request and requested that I send additional pictures of the car cover fitment on the car in which I did and he indicated that I would receive some type of response within 24-72 hours. As you can imagine I was so upset at the terrible service from CARid. I did finally receive an email indicating my request for return/exchange was approved and I finally received the UPS return labels on 04/07/17. It took approximately 2 weeks just to get the return labels to send the product back. Keep in mind that they send the wrong product in the first place. As of 04/16/17, I still have not received a replacement car cover and have not received any updates from CARId. Terrible, Terrible experience with CARid. I will never place an order with them again.

Purchased a set of lights for my truck. Price was great and installation went well but after driving in a rainstorm the front lights started to condensate and leak. Called customer support right away and was told that was normal, what bs is that how many new headlights have you seen that leak, none. I sent them picks as requested along with picks of several small scratches that were on the inside of the lense. They did respond quickly suggesting I pay for another set, they would send them out and upon the day they received them they would refund me. Again bs policy other companies I've delta with for car parts have never given me a hard time about returns. The last conversation I had with tech support was epic, I was told most aftermarket lights tend to leak and I should run a bead of silicone caulk around the seams of the lenses to fix the problem. So you so me a faulty part and I have to fix it thanks. I know the have no control over the quality of the parts they receive from China but they sell them so they should stand behind them. Will never recommend or purchase from them again.

Been trying to contact customer service for 4 day to cancel a order that is backordered for possible 2 months, did not say that when i ordered. Now they took the money and say the order is processed.
And still i can not talk to a person, just sit and listen to the stupid guy tell jokes.
Please dont do business with them.
