Item came with a defect so I contacted customer service and they quickly resolved the issue. Both employees that I talked too were very polite and knew what they were talking about.

When ordering mistakenly got wrong part number in order. After receiving items I realized this and had to make a return, Gia understood everything and was very helpful to make everything right.

Customer Service/Returns
July 17, 2022

Had purchased a gift for my brother & was directed by a CSR in the wrong direction to buy a product not knowing it was wrong until it arrived. Never was installed & wasn't allowed to return within the 30-day policy. Tried multiple times after that to return the item & the guys via chat were disrespectful (Stan Miller) and ended the chat without answering my questions or concerns twice almost. The chat is different from the chat transcript sent to email & (Stan Miller) knows that so he decided to type in caps in certain parts letting me know he was annoyed, and I have proof on my phone... I just want to return something I can't use and haven't touched/installed. The CarID business is okay since it has a wide variety of things now, but they really need to reevaluate their policies and returns on parts that are really expensive and the way their (CSR) customer service representative treats their customers. The last time buying from because it will happen again not to me, but to someone else sad to say and the issue will never get resolved.

Total SCAM
September 18, 2013

Total SCAM. They offer a price, and then shipping. After sending payment, they tell you that there are additional costs for shipping. When you question it, they just ignore your emails and you have lost your money. FLUSHING YOUR MONEY DOWN THE TOILET WILL BE MORE FUN THAN SENDING IT TO THESE GUYS

TOTALLY DISORGANIZED!
December 6, 2021

If I could give them 0 stars I would- what a total joke- Customer service is obviously run out of a foreign country, ordered an important part needed for sure last thursday for a saturday paint job- paid 1dditional $90.00 for OVERNIGHT shipping- never got it, ready for this- the OVERNIGHT part only starts AFTER they locate the part, box it up, and get it ready for shipping! I just got the part today, now they tell me it takes 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS to generate a return label, ground, once they receive the parts, and inspect, then 5-10 BUSINESS DAYS to generate the refund! Total absolute joke..

Dear Barry,

Thank you for sharing your experience with our store.

We are terribly sorry to know that we did not manage to meet your expectations at this time.

From what i see, the product you ordered with us is a made-to-order part. We need around 2-4 business days to have this item manufactured for you. The part was shipped as scheduled, on 12/6. We are really sorry for the misleading information provided by the Sales representative.

Please, check your email inbox to find the return documents and compensation offered for the inconveniences caused. Looking forward to your answer!

Sincerely,

STAY AWAY!

CarID sent the wrong part. Though they refunded for the wrong parts, I was forced to pay for shipping. They not only wasted my time, they would not refund the $36.80 they still owe for their mistake.

I bought an alternator for my 92 Ford Ranger 5.0 V6. After I ordered the part, I received the invoice which stated that the alternator was for 92 Ford Ranger and showed that it fit three different engine sizes. Obviously there is a problem with their software.

They probably sent the information to the shipper who, instead of checking with me on the actual size of my engine and the part I needed, just shipped the most popular size. That screwed the shipper and screwed me.

I sent email after email to CarID for them to refund the $36.80. Each time, they told me to go F*** myself.

I then disputed the charge on my card. Then CarID fought it charging me again for the $36.80. Now I have to spend more time sending pictures to my credit cards company.

There are legitimate places to get your auto parts. STAY AWAY from CarID.

PostScript: I went to Auto Zone to buy the alternator I needed since I had already waited a week and a half for the wrong part, it turned out it was exactly the same price I spent at CarID, including the shipping. I would have saved nothing by getting the right part form CarID. Instead, I wasted an additional $35 and hours of my time.

Restoring 1950 Chevy Truck and need a set of rear fenders. Made a call to CARID and got EDDIE. Told him what I was looking for and without hesitation he gave me the SKU #'s and the quoted price and said it would save me money to ship to a business rather than a resident and with that I will mor than likely order my parts from CARID/EDDIE... Thanks EDDIE

This company is a Rip Off and they do so by charging your card one lump sum of money and the RECHARGING for individual parts and this is where they sneak and not deduct all of the correct fees from that lump sum of money. The also over charge you for shipping! I was told that I would pay one set amount for shipping but when the final amounts charged, they OVER CHARGED for shipping and refuses to give me my money back! Why are they still in business?

Dear LeAnn,

We are deeply sorry for the misunderstanding that occurred.

The shipping cost can be shown as free when there is no shipping zip code entered. Once you enter the shipping address, the exact shipping cost is shown.

We would appreciate an opportunity to improve your experience and show you that this is not the way we usually work.

Please, email me directly at mila.pa@carid.com with your order details and I will assist you further as well as offer compensation for the inconveniences caused.

Looking forward to your response!

Should've have done a search and review on this company first before ordering from them. The online order was easy enough and they did have the lowest price. But here is the problem. The total that was showing was $51 plus $6 for shipping. I then received an email receipt for $123 after submitting, charging me an unauthorized $66 for shipping. I used their paypal option to pay and there was no page that told me my total cost, till I receive the email. I immediately called Carid.com to cancel and explain why I cancelled. The customer service lady said ok and cancelled the order. She said I will receive an email for the cancellation and in 3 days my refund. Needless to say they went ahead and processed the order and ship the items the next day. I called them back and they told me that because the item is already shipped, I will not get my shipping charge of $73 back and will have to call them again when the item is received to get an RMA for a refund. The kind customer service person pretty much told me that I'm s**t out of luck and should just keep it. I did receive the item but am weary about returning it for a refund, because there seem to be plenty of people here that has not receive a refund for their purchases. Stay away from this company. From all the other reviews it seems they are just a drop shipper, middle man company and have nothing in stock. They will make it as hard as possible for you to get your money back. Buy from amazon, they had the same item for $3 more and with free shipping. Will not be a repeat customer.

At first I ordered 4 rims and tires that were supposed to be shipped to a location so they could mount and balance them. They ended up somehow just shipping the tires to the auto store it was going to without the rims so they couldn't be mounted and balanced by them and then they had to send the rims separate. After that (my fault) one of the rims got a little damaged from a curb so I ordered a new one on a Wednesday morning and paid for overnight shipping. It's now Monday and the rims won't even get in until maybe Tuesday so almost a full week. I told them I wanted my over night shipping money back and they said no but wanted to offer me a 25 dollar gift card. ARE YOU KIDDiNG? You think I'm ever going to use their site again. I'm literally going to every site possible to give them 1 stars. The guy charged me for overnight (Kelvin) but didn't put it in the system or the notes. I emailed Kevin the "specialist that was assigned to me and haven't heard back in 48 hours. Terrible company with terrible customer service.

I knew about CarID years ago, But until now that I decided to give it a try, men i wish I have done it a long time ago, they have a friendly to navigate website with loots of parts for my car, I bought a muffler and a resonator pipe, it was shipped next day and delivered 2 days later, for a very competitive price.

Bought an ABS module for my work truck the first mechanic went out a bought a very expensive programmer as he could not program it then the truck went to Chevy where after two visits they removed the defective CarID unit and replaced it with a chevy rebuilt unit. CarID will not refund the money even though the unit they want to return has nothing to do with the one they shipped my and they sent it to the wrong address in another state I had called to correct the address before I return the old unit. Lost money lost time buyer beware CarID is a bad place to do business go elsewhere. I do not need a second unit so doing business with these g=eeopel wasted time and 4X $$
