“Trailer mirrors”

Douglas G.
9/29/24

The mirrors did not stay on the self adhesive foot pads and after you get the mirror in the proper position you have to crank them down really tight and once you want to release the tension you end up using a large screw driver to pry them loose-don't know how long they will last under that condition-second time I have used them-quite pricy-I like them when in use.

“No help whatsoever”

Ordered part. Didn't fit. CARiD says it's correct, but it's not. Wanted to return for full refund but was told about restocking fee and shipping fee, basically only getting $10 back on a $60 part that clearly did not fit...never again!

Verified purchase

I ordered wheels and tires to be mounted and balanced on November 27th was given a ship date of December 7th here it is December 22nd and have yet to receive a ship date or any type of a tracking number I've made several phone calls to their lack of customer service department and have been told constant lies of ship dates and then when I mentioned the fact that I would like a refund they try to tell me that the tires are already mounted on the wheels therefore I cannot be refunded. However the company or as they call it fulfillment center that is mounting these is in Orlando Florida approximately 2 hours from my home that fulfillment center has had my wheels and tires for almost 2 weeks now and yet I still have not received any type of a tracking order. They gave me a lousy $53.50 refund on my second phone call however that was two weeks ago and I've called just about every day since and again I sit here with no tracking number. My vehicle these wheels and tires are for is sitting in my garage on jack stands and has been for approximately 2 weeks now waiting for these wheels and tires. And every time I ask for a supervisor conveniently there's not one available. They have constantly told me I will get a response within 24 to 48 hours and have never received that response I absolutely despise this company and the way they treat their customers and will advise anybody to steer far away from these people they are a freaking joke!

Ordered tire sensors from CARiD thinking I would save myself some time with my wheel purchase so I wouldn't have to have them switched over and rebuilt from my old rims. After having them installed, a day later I had issues with the sensors. Come to find out the sensors where I purchase were faulty. Thinking the installer was incompetent I took my car to the dealer to get checked out. They confirmed the sensors were not working and needed to purchase new sensors to fix the issue. So, I contacted CARiD to get them to exchange them for another set. Kept getting the run around with the CARiD customer service rep. Finally, after a few days of complaining got the okay to send them back and was told within 24-48 hours I would receive a return authorization. It's now been 10 days later and still no return label. I called multiple time and they just keep saying it's going to take more time. Since I couldn't wait for CARiD to send me replacement sensors I had to purchase another set of sensors from the tire shop. Wish I just had ordered the wheels and sensor from another company that could have treated me better after spending $2,000 +. As of 7/29/19, I am still waiting on my return authorization. I have wasted over 20 hours between my wife and I trying to resolve this issue with CARiD.

I bought a body kit, headlights and taillights from this company for my 1993 BMW and spent $1,*******! It's been the worst shopping experience in my life. It was so bad that I had to take the time out of my day to warn as many people as I can to not buy anything from this company.

First, the body kit. It did not fit the car! We tried to return the product to no avail. It took 8 months (not exaggerating) to install as we went back and forth with them on the assembly! The rear bumper could not be set flush with the trunk and weeks later after the front bumper was installed, it fell off! Ultimately, we had to spend another $1800 to purchase and install the factory bumpers.

Second, the lights! The rear left taillight harness burnt out! Since they are still under warranty, I have been working for 8 weeks to try and get a replacement. As of this review, May 2,2019, I still have not gotten my simple replacement.

The return process has been absolutely ridiculous. Each customer service rep has their own explanation. In the meantime, I have had my car at the shop for 8 weeks and counting!

Again, do not go nowhere near this company. It is not worth it.

Ordered seat covers for our truck and discussed layout of truck (2X) on the telepone. Received the covers and the back seat council will not go down. $450.00 There is 3 headrests and they sent 2. All we wanted was for them to correct the back seat problem. $450 of truck seats. Nice. They will not fix their error. Horrible company to work with. Nice sales people. Horrible customer service. DO NOT BUY CUSTOM SEAT COVERS--YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH THEM.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY CUSTOM SEAT COVERS!!!

Decided to bite the bullet and replace all of my interior and fog lights with LED's. The online listings were difficult to find the correct bulbs. So I called the number and told the salesperson that I wanted to purchase all of the interior lights, backup lights, fog lights and rear stop lights. I received two shipments totaling around $256.00. Five of the bulbs had no place to put them, two bulbs just didn't fit. I called to get the correct bulbs and order more for our other car. They were extremely happy to sell me the correct bulbs and refused to take the others back. Also it was very hard to understand the so called "customer service" representatives being CARiD appears to have sourced that out to another country.
Our family Suffered two tragedies and barely missed the 30 day company policy window to get this corrected. After talking with them, they probably would have used another excuse not to make this right.
I try to never write a review without saying something positive about the company. I guess the one positive thing that I can say is that they were able to bill my credit card immediately for all items before they had the parts in stock.

Ordered an Auto Tecknic trunk spoiler with 3M tape included but not received, after I complained they removed the "included" word from website, spoiler only, they charged for shipping same as the product value and I had to pay UPS same again on delivery, from Canada you can't return without loosing the shipping and customs. After I contacted customer service few times, Mila was great helping with refund the UPS overcharge at delivery. Hopefully this is an isolated case as UPS was always great with our deliveries!

Tip for consumers:
Prices are in $US no matter you chose your country currency, you find out at checkout that shipping is overpriced and UPS is overcharging again at delivery!

Dear Tarek,

Thank you for sharing your opinion. We are sorry for the difficulties in the return process you have recently encountered.

As the reason for return is "no longer need" the return fees are applied. If the reason of the return is CARiD, a full amount of refund is always provided upon return of the merchandise to the warehouse. More about the return policy and return fees at: https://www.carid.com/help-center/product-return.html.

From what I see, the return documents were sent to you on 2/08.

Please, check your email inbox for details and compensation offer due to the inconvenience.

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,
Consumer Relations Department at CARiD.com.

Don't buy from this company. They are another hollow corporate shell that doesn't care about their customers. If you buy a part and have a problem... YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. I lost $88!

I purchased some parts from this company back in September of 2022, and when I was purchasing one of the items I was promised that it had a 36 month warranty. Only to find out AFTER the purchase was complete that it was actually only a 12 month warranty. Still under warranty though, I informed them of the issues I was having and needed to to start the warranty return process. I was told they would be back in contact with my within 4 days. Here it is over 10 days later, and still no progress. I called to check the status of the warranty replacement, just to be told that I need to give them an additional 3-4 days to reach out to the manufacturer and "check the status". I have spent a rather decent amount of money with this company on parts in the past few years alone. But with the way they have gone downhill over the last year,...I will be taking my business (personal AND company) elsewhere. They have ZERO issues taking peoples money, but do not want to honor their LEGAL obligation to make sure their customers, (or rather the ones that pay their salaries) are taken care of and will continue to do business with them.

The product says it will fit a 2018 HRV, BUT IT DOES NOT FIT! It would be impossible for this bulb to fit! I told customer service rep the issue and she told me the bulb fits a 2018 HRV. THIS IS 100% FALSE ADVERTISING! THIS IS WHY THIS COMPANY HAS A LESS THAN 3 STAR RATING. IT IS RATED 17TH IN ONLINE AUTO PART STORES. At least i'm getting a refund ( wish they would have been honest, now they lost my business).

Dear Steven,

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.

Usually, when it comes to fitment issues, we have to follow the Manufacturer's instructions. In some cases, pictures or additional proof of the flaw or defect may be necessary to start the return process.

We would appreciate an opportunity to look deeper into the issue and improve your experience with us.

Unfortunately, I was unable to locate your order in our system. Please contact me directly at mila.pa@carid.com and we will do our best in order to smooth the situation.

I recently purchased a bumper from them. I jumped the gun and ordered it not immediately realizing the first two display pictures were clearly misleading, the other pictures of it were very plain and different from the first two. I realized this 5 min after my order and did all i could to cancel it, however i was after business hours so i called the following morning. Both customer service reps i talked to very obviously had their minds made up before they even heard my whole story. Long story short they said I'm stuck with it due to the fact that it already began shipment to them. Then to add insult to injury, the lady offered me a return amount of $50 if i didnt want the product. The cost of the product was around $500. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER BE BACK AT THIS GARBAGE WEBSITE AGAIN! I HEARD SOME NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT THIS WEBSITE BEFORE BUT I WENT AGAINST MY GUT AND GOT BURNEDDDD!

CARiD has the worst possible customer service possible. The continual excuses given by CARiD for the failure to ship an item is infuriating. I have seen every excuse possible, and even one to the point of offering psychiatric help instead of a reasonable explanation of CARiD's failure to ship an item as scheduled by CARiD. Come to find out through some research, CARiD is merely a brokerage selling other companies inventory. Strange, to return an item, it gets shipped to a third party, and not CARiD itself.

If possible, please avoid this business like it is contagious with COVID 19.
