This is the worst company ever to deal with... I bought a rear fender for my car and when I recieved it late it was nothing like the picture shows or describes... when I returned the product back for a refund they said the product was damaged but no one could tell me how the product was damaged. They said they would ship it back to me and instead they shipped back to me a bunch of car toys! After calling them to see what the@#$& is going on they couldn't tell me and three months now I have been calling them to get a refund and get the district managers name and number... but they would not give me any information. Don't do busisness with this company if you don't want to be ripped off.
The worst. I ordered a Wood trim packing for my Nissan Altima. Their website guided me to the wrong trim based onthe questions it asked. Then, when I asked to have it exchanged, said it was my fault. Best they could do is let me order a new one at a discount. Even though the company says its based on NJ, all customer support and managers barely speak English and they all are rude. Even though the prices are decent, don't be fooled. Carid.com is the worst!
Do not believe their "No Hassles... No Headaches" return policy. I ordered lights from their Web Site that were advertised to fit a Ford F-150, but when we attempted to have them installed, we found out they did not fit the truck. It has been over a month and I have yet to receive my "Return Merchandise Authorization" from them, and they have refused to pay the shipping fees. It has been nothing but headaches and hassles. I've had to send them pictures of my truck and the lights, to prove the truck is a Ford F-150. They even requested the VIN#! Do not order from this company!
CARID provides the worst customer service that I have encountered in probably 60 years. The order I placed in April 2010 was delivered incomplete and trying to get the missing parts has been a very frustrating experience. I have called seven times with no success - the missing parts will be sent (they weren't), the missing parts aren't in stock but will be shipped in 2 to 3 weeks (they weren't), a manager will call back in 1/2 hour (I'm still waiting!). DO NOT ORDER FROM CARID!
I ordered car mats from this company and received the wrong color. I contacted customer service and they said they would give me 1/2 credit for the mats I received and would send me a confirmation and authorization to return the wrong color mats.
After a week I contacted them as to why I hadn't received the above and they told me that the manufacturer would not issue credit or enter a new order unless I destroyed the old mats and sent the pictures to Carid.
I DID AND THE REP WOULD NOT RESPOND BACK TO ME. TWO WEEKS LATER I HAVE CAR MATS THAT I DESTROYED BY CUTING THEM IN HALF AND NO NEW MATS. AND OUT $74.00.
DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY,
Carid.com is the worst company I've dealt with in at least 10 years. I ordered a wood grain dash kit that the site stated was manufactured, ready to ship.
Then received an e-mail stating estimated shipping date was 8 days although the site stated usually 3-5. No more updates, after the date came and went, I called their customer "nosupport" and was told it was being manufactured and will ship in another 5 days. Date came and went.
I've sent two e-mails, unanswered at to date, two phone calls, one of which found me talking to an imbecile who was rude and no help at all.
I have just sent another e-mail stating that if I receive no satisfactory response in 24 hours, I will cancel and contest the order with my credit card company for the charge they made the day after I ordered.
I have never had good luck with a company that charges the credit card before the item ships. Carid.com is no exception. BAD company, BAD service, BAD communication. This is a NO BUY advisory.
This company has the worst customer service! I made a complaint about the missing rear window deflectors and have tried calling their customer support, status and emails and none resulted in positive response. Do NOT buy any products from this company -- I won't!
Suckz. Especially the customer service support. Dont buy any item on this site, because the items mostly are defective.
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: 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!

Please specify the item number you are interested in to me at alison.rh@carid.com 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 alison.rh@carid.com 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
