I have been trying to return the wrong item ordered for two weeks and they keep emailing me "your item does not come with a camera" do you want to exchange or refund. FIVE TIMES a different person emails me the same thing. They are dragging it out so it will go past the 30 days and they won't have to refund me my money. I cannot get anyone on the phone put on hold for hours.

Recomend to others
April 15, 2017

I bought parts for my car and pretty happy about it. Before the purchase I had a chance to chat with rep and discuss all the questions, so it was informed decision. Shipping charges were affordable and delivery was rather fast. I monitored delivery on shipping company website and knew when part arrived.

Recommend to others for competitive and outstanding overall service. Will buy again.

Disappointing
April 13, 2017

We called and spoke to a representative and they placed our for us stating all items were in stock. We received our order in a timely manner only to have one item missing from our order even though our order stated all items shipped. In calling the company, they checked into it and informed us that one of the items was discontinued and offered us a refund. Makes ya wonder what would have happened if we hadn't caught it if they would have credited us for the missing item as the order stated it was shipped.

WAIT! DO NOT CLICK PAY NOW! Save yourself the time headache and expense and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! TOTAL SCAM practices with shipping and sales. I WISH I HAD READ THESE REVIEWS! Zero follow up. Will have unreasonable shipping stipulations... That are not related to customer until AFTER the order has been made. EXTREMELY SLOW shipping. Once you pay... they will do whatever they can to keep your money. No tracking for #s. If you try to cancel the order you will not be returned their shipping fees, will be put on hold forever, etc... Ships only during business hours, charges 3x to change the shipping address (to send to your work... where most people are during business hours). THE WORST ONLINE EXPERIENCE I have ever had. BUYER BEWARE! Check out their ratings... Don't make the same mistake I did, or the next $h! Tty review here, will be yours.

2013 Honda Ridgeline
April 13, 2017

I had to contact CarID.com to ask a question about the dash board cover I wanted to purchase. I was pleasantly surprised when Art answered my call. He was very helpful and accommodating. Dealing with Art was a pleasure and I intend to order other items for my Ridgeline due in large part because of Arts customer service.

The most flagrant dishonesty I have experienced with an online seller.

My car was not passing inspection due to an old faulty cat converter and O2 sensors. Called Car Id and said my sticker was expiring and needed parts asap before my sticker expired.

Sales agent name "Douglas" promised overnight delivery for a Catalytic converter they didn't even have in stock?!?. After UPS told me they never received anything from Car ID, I called the parts manufacturer myself when I sensed something fishy was going on. I was then told the part wouldn't be available for a while as it still needed to be manufactured!

After calling "Douglas" back; he apologized and then upsold me to a more expensive Catalytic converter which would now be "overnighted" to me. AGAIN. Same thing happens with no delivery. After THREE HOURS of repeat calls and holds with Car ID I am informed that SURPRISE! The part never shipped because...

It was on backorder.

My inspection sticker has expired. I have ordered the same parts from somewhere else, and have had no problems.

I placed an order well in advance of needing it for a gift. When I tracked it, I discovered they had the address wrong. I called customer service, was told (by Blaise) they would cancel that order, reorder it and I would get the item the next day. What happened was that I was charged TWICE for the item, charged for regular AND overnight shipping, only received ONE item, and can't get anyone in customer service to call me back, answer my e-mails or rectify the situation. I will not be ordering from them again.

I recently contacted CARiD looking for a gray soft top for an older Jeep Wrangler. This item has been very difficult to find. The service rep, Bryan, was very helpful and located the item, sent me a link so when I was ready to order it, I would have it in my inbox. Great customer service

I recently had the wrong spark plugs shipped and was a bit frustrated as I wanted them for my next track day. To my luck I was able to get Daniela, who was very help in making the exchange process a breeze. Been ordering form CarID for a few months now and love the selection and prices. And the shipping is lightning fast! Highly recommended.
