Kelvin helped me understand the options available during my purchase of exhaust products. He called the manufacturer directly, and received my specific answer in a really timely fashion. I saved over an hour(I'm sure) of research time just by speaking with Kelvin. Thanks Kelvin!

I ordered some wheels on the 21st of February, they were suppose to be shipped on the 2nd of March. To date I haven't received any information about the status of my order. I have tried calling, no luck. I have tried emailing, no luck. I have tried using the live chat feature on the website, no luck. Then I log into my account on the website today only to not be presented with my order history, shady to say the least. A process that I anticipated being smooth, has turned into an effort in futility to obtain my funds as I'm no longer interested in the goods. My advice to anyone don't purchase from this company, as it's very frustrating and a waste of time.

I had great customer service from Bryan! He took time to answer all my concerns and helped me to get my Military discount on my order. I had contacted a different site with far less favorable results. The CarID site is fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Bryan for all your help! John C.

I placed an order for a car seat on Feb 11th; it was to ship on the 14th it did not. Contacted them since I did not recurve anything and only then was I told it was back ordered till March 22 so we canceled the order. We were told the order would be canceled within 24-48 hours; it was not. Got an email on Feb 20 saying my order had shipped. Hmmm little off don't you think. Call and asked what was going on and was told we didn't cancel soon enough. I guess 72 hours isn't enough time. Ask for my return label and got an email on Feb 23 saying 24-72 hours. Never got them. And everytime we called it we got "They will be here within 24 hours or They will be here today". They were coming through email mine you. And they still never came. Called the last time and told them I was getting my lawyer only then did i get my return labels. Still waiting on our refund. Customer service was a joke, talk to so many different people durning this time. No one knew why. Only 2 people where nice about it and 1 very rude guy hung up on us because he didn't wa r to deal with our tone. And the mangers didn't care. SAVE YOUR SELF FROM THIS AND ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Good customer service. Love the price match guarantee. Was disappointed that I paid for and then waited almost a month for headlights to be shipped that, when the time came for them to be shipped, the "expected shipping date" was extended by another month. Ended up cancelling that order and buying the headlights elsewhere.

Ordered a $700 chrome custom grill for my car, and it doesn't fit. It's a hug gap between my hood and grill. I had ordered the exact year make and model. Had it professionally installed and it looks ridiculous. Who spends $1200 on a grill for it to look $#*!ed and botched? Me...

Ordered mud flaps for Ford Edge for the front and rear and received both at different times but in a short time. I am very happy with the person I ordered from and would order, and probably will, order again.

Wonderful customer service, very helpful,
Thank you Juan Jo. It's not common to get a customer service person that will go above and beyond what is required on a daily basis. Thanks to you, you will have a customer for life! Your supervisors should have you mentor new employees.

I order wheels. I checked the status of order. After being ordered 2 weeks. I had someone call me after 1 week asking about the application, she told me the wheels were in Stock and they would be ship the following Monday. I gave it Wednesday no wheels yet. I called again customer service said the wheels had been discontinued. I feel that if the wheels had been discontinued that someone or somebody should have contacted me about it. I find it real hard to believe that the wheels had been discontinued. Considering that it was a new style wheel and that Butler tire in Austell, GA were able to order the wheels. I am A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER and I Would suggest to everyone to not use Carid for nothing.

My order came and it looked like someone played kick back with it. So I called and they wanted me to jump thru a bunch of hoops in contacting k&n. Why shouldn't they? Robert said once you buy it from us your on your own. Never again do business with Carid

I was very impressed with Kirsten's knowledge of the products I was asking about. If there was an answer she did not know she called the manufacturer and got the answer for me. When I am ready to place my next order I will call her directly.

As a customer service manager for a major manufacturer for over 30+ years, I feel Jacob displayed professionalism related to product knowledge. That display is vital as a front line representative of the success of a company. GOOD JOB JACOB! I hope other sales reps will follow his lead.
