“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!

I called and ordered running boards for my 2017 Ram 2500 and the ones we liked we also had to order the mounting brackets separate the guy I talked to asked me several times what vehicle I had and I told him. When we received the brackets they were for a 2020 Silverado we don't own a Chevy and why the hell would we order running boards for a Ram and get mounting brackets for a Chevy and no they are not universal like the customer service lady said. Also no bolts were included with the running boards we had to contact the manufacturer for them. I was on the phone for over three hours with customer service. The first call I was placed on hold while their website was loading and was stuck listening to the stupid fact guy for over an hour. Come on it doesn't take that long to load your page I was hung up on after they came back on and called again where I was on hold for another 40 minutes. And when I requested to talk to a supervisor I was told it would be two to four days for a call back. Rather than send me the right product they wanted me to buy A different set of running boards that didn't require separate mounting brackets first before the refunded my money and would send a shipping label for their product to be returned. They acted like we were to blame but how when we called the order in. Why should I have to buy new running boards I already have them. Then it came down to us having to buy a new set of brackets before the would send a return label and a refund. It's bad business and I would never recommend this place to anyone ever. We will be reporting to the BBB and I suggest you all do the same.

This is my second time dealing with CARID... I promised I wouldn't, but wanted to give them another try... BOY WAS I WRONG! When they are selling the products its all good... but goes down hill after that. I ordered wheels and tires, they came mounted and balanced and with the installation kit. The installation kit the sent was the WRONG size lug nuts... so I went to a local tire place, ordered the correct ones, paid for them and called CARID to inform... the girl who answered was VERY RUDE and blamed me for the incorrect parts being shipped. I them asked to speak with someone else. I was placed on HOLD for 23 mins, I then called from another phone and spoke to Rebeca, I emailed her the receipt for the correct lug nuts and am still waiting to be refunded. I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. First time shame on them, second time SHAME ON ME. STAY AWAY. Use a local wheel place instead. THES GUYS SUCK AT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I somewhat recently order a wheel and tire package from carid.com (June 16). The navigation and input of my vehicle information seemed easy and simple. But I was giving a shipping date that was changed two separate times. So I called and complained about that fact. They have me $65 off my order. Ok cool, mistakes happen. Now I finally received my order on Thursday the 12th. Go to put them on Saturday evening and come to find out they have me the wrong bolt pattern for my truck. I checked my order to see if there was any mistakes, nope they just mounted to the wrong wheels. Also there is a white substance around multiple bolts on the exterior of the wheels. If they do not make this right I will continue to write reviews and show pictures of the wheels being mounted on my truck (well trying to be mounted) and copies of all the emails back and forth. I would definitely stay away from this company. Only way I will continue to use them and recommend them again is if they make this right in a timely manner. This whole experience has been a headache for me. I have apt on the 24th to get my truck inspected and I need these tires before that date. What ever happened to quality and good customer service.

I am not inclined to purchase from CarID again. I have been requesting from their website a status update and I have sent an email with no response. I called and after sitting on hold for an hour did not receive any additional information plus was told that I would receive a response that I have not received. I have requested a status update from their site everyday since 6/25 with no update. I will state, I do not care about what the answer is but I do care that I do not receive a response. I do not do this to my customers and I certainly do not expect to be ignored when I am the customer. I am the customer and if you want my money you have to "beg" me for the business, I should not have to "beg" to give a vendor my money. There is something fundamentally wrong when I a customer has to beg a vendor to do business with them.

After writing this review, I received an email stating that my order estimated ship date is now 7/3/2020. When I placed the order, it was verified that the items were in stock and would ship on 6/24/2020. This is not an acceptable way to do business since I could have ordered them from another source and be receiving them 6/30/2020. This is a company that only desires the sale and forgets about customer service. Repeat business is not there objective based on how they do business and I am for one NEVER going to order from this company again and I urge others to consider doing business with a different company that worships honesty and customer service over the almighty dollar for without those they are sure to not get the latter.

Before ordering I contacted them to make sure to order the correct parts. Based on their info I ordered the parts. The parts that arrived were the wrong parts. Not the parts I ordered.
When contacted about this, they want to charge me again to get the correct parts. They say they will refund the cost of the incorrect parts when the receive them back. Every other company I have ever dealt with sends the correct part along with a return shipping label without charging you twice. At this point in time I have not received the return shipping label to send the incorrect parts back. I did not pay to receive the correct parts. I will use a better company to get my parts from.
Update 10/27:
The single order was shipped in three separate shipments. To date only one has arrived. The order shipped by UPS is showing delayed. The one shipped FedEx say this tracking number cannot be found. Say "Check the number or contact the sender" this is a problem because they will not return the funds until they receive the parts back. How can I return what I haven't received.

The worst customer service. I needed a rim for a spare tire before I left for Germany (in military). I was told that the rim I ordered on 2 June would be at my door no later than 28 June. I called on 29 June to check the status and was told it was not due to ship until 27 July. After explaining the situation I was told that they had the rim in stock and I would have it in 3 business days - 6 July. I received a shipping confirmation that night with a 7 July delivery date. My car ships on the 8th. I still have to get the tire mounted before I drop the car off at the pier. I called to cancel and spoke to a very rude and unprofessional female who, after getting nasty, put me on infinite hold when I asked to speak to a manager. I called back and got the same female. I asked to speak to a manager and after being on hold for 17 min she told me he was on another call and would call me back within an hour - that was 4 hours ago. I purchased a lot of car parts from CARID without any issues but after this experience u will NEVER use them again nor would I recommend them to my worst enemy.

Worthless never again will I buy from here. Customer service are worthless trying to blame customer for wrong installation. Sending me a defective item and now I'm down 200+ dollars down. NEVER NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE TAKE THIS ADVISE TRUST ME. ALL I CAN SAY THEY ARE WORTHLESS WORTHLESS TO THE MAXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Only reason I gave them a star was they were fast in shipping a broken item.

Tip for consumers:
Worthless worthless worthless don't buy anything from here not worth the hassle.

The sales team will have excellent service to get the sale, even lie to you. They Guarenteed their Bluetooth adapter product would work on my vehicle (which it didn't) and ended up selling me faulty headlights, which they told me if there were any issues to arise I could return them within 30 days "hassle free." So I fell for their B. S and bought the products. Now the worst part, their customer service team. So first I call in telling them their products don't work or are faulty. Their dumb customer service agents put down the wrong information that I just didn't need them anymore and on the return slip put it so that I declare I never attempted to install or use the product. (Then how the heck are you supposed know if it works or not! The intent is to buy and use the damn thing) After that I call again and now their excuse is that they need to resolve it with the manufacturer under warranty. What the hell happened to the hassle free 30 day return? So keep in mind guys these guys won't take full responsibily for the products that they sell and will shift it over to the manufacturer to resolve the issue. Now they want me to go and put the faulty products back on my vehicle and take a photo to prove that is faulty and of course it's not them asking it, it's the manufacturers ask. This is a B. S company. Please do yourself a favor and don't buy from these guys!

By far the worst experience iv'e had with CarID.com i had placed an order of 4-wheels worth over 1k about 2-weeks ago, after the 1st week i had called to speak to a representative to follow up on my order and i was told the wheels were on transit and i should get an update in 2 business days. Well its been 2 business days that have passed by and yet no update. So i decide to call again to speak to a representative and tells me there is no way to follow up on my order cuz they don't have an update status, that i would have to call them back ones the manufacture is available (yet i think its ridiculous how i have to follow up with this update when it should be the company job to follow up with their customers needs) so as i speak with the lady with bit of frustration (without getting verbal) all i said was if i don't get an update by today i will call back tomorrow and demand my refund cuz ive waited far to long already when i i can get them faster somewhere els. After that was said she hung up on my call, which is very unprofessional. If i knew her name i would put it up on here. But by far the worst experience with almost a 5-start company. Should of gone to TireRack.com like i usually do, but was trying something different.

I ordered a set of wheels that were "guaranteed fit." The wheels didn't come close to clearing the brake calipers on my car. After paying $100 to the tire shop just to attempt to put the wheels on, I had them package the wheels back up exactly as boxed from car-id. I called Car-id to let them know the wheels did not fit. They said I would have to go back to the tire shop take off the stock wheels and take pictures of the rims not fitting the car. I told them that was not possible and I wanted to return the wheels. They said they would send me return labels. They only sent 4 of the 5 labels. I still returned the wheels exactly as directed and covered the remaining $30 of shipping out of pocket. Car-id went on to provide me with a "partial" refund. I called back five times and asked to speak to a manager and every single time the associate got someone else on the phone who was not a manager. Each sales associate I spoke with after my return said I was to pay for shipping and a 10% restocking fee. This was never expressed verbally or in writing and no one was willing admit these rims did not fit or provide any customer service aside from rerouting and claiming it was not their responsibility. I have never had a worse consumer purchasing experience. They told me "it was not possible" to speak with a supervisor because "they would tell me the same thing." After reading all these reviews and seeing 1,300 plus one star reviews, I wished I had researched the company prior. DO NOT ORDER from this company. If you have to return the "guaranteed fit" product, they will make your experience truly unbearable.

They lie about delivery dates. You pay for next day delivery and they don't ship.
The people on the phone don't care.
This is my first and last time with this company

Don't trust the delivery time they give on website.
