Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers are generally pleased with the quality and value of the products, finding them to be as described and fitting well. Many appreciate the good choice of items available, and some have had positive experiences with the ordering process, noting it was simple and the items arrived in good condition. However, some people were dissatisfied with the delivery service, often experiencing delays and longer shipping times than advertised, primarily because items are shipped from Ireland. There are also frequent complaints about communication and customer service, with many reporting issues with unresponsive emails, non-working phone numbers, and a lack of tracking information or updates regarding their orders.

Roof Bars from carracks.co.uk

Searched the internet for a good quality rack to fit onto my closed roof bars. Carracks was best deal I found at a reasonable price.
Delivery was slightly delayed by a couple of days, but I was sent an apologetic email from Mick’s Garage explaining situation, which I was grateful for.
Product arrived well packaged and nothing missing. I fitted the rack securely to my roof bars and I am confident with the product.

Went for the aluminium roof rack for my car. Slight delay with the delivery, however that was communicated. Took approx 1 week from order to delivery. Really pleased with the roof racks quality. Looks great and for the price it’s much better than the other for similar price range. All in all, would definitely recommend.

Avoid Car racks or Micks Garage - no customer support - time wasters

I ordered a bike rack from carracks.co.uk and it arrived with a crucial part missing, making it completely unusable. Trying to get this resolved has been incredibly frustrating. The website provides no customer service phone number or direct email address — only an online contact form.

I did eventually receive a single reply asking for photos, which I promptly sent. Since then, I’ve followed up every day by email for a full week and have received absolutely no response.

The lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. This company is unreliable and untrustworthy, the website is poor and looks like a scam site on closer inspection. The receipt email I received was from MicksGarage in Ireland.

Avoid both companies if you expect basic customer service or support when something goes wrong, they are total time waster scammers.

Very poor service- item delivered broken - avoid

Ordering process was simple and arrived within time stated, price was good for item ordered . Sounds like a dream right - but the item received was damaged discovered on fitting the roof rack - I’ve now been emailing almost daily with only 1 reply advising the cracked part won’t anffect its use . If I wanted damaged item id have bought from marketplace but new . This was over 3 weeks ago - still no replies no working telephone number - no answer on their Facebook or instagram accounts- would never buy again would prefer to pay higher price from an actual store -

The rack was as described

The rack was as described, fitted well and looks good. Took a while to assemble so much more complex than Thule in that respect. Locks fiddly to get into covers in right orientation.
Was a little concerned when got notification I would have to pay VAT on it as thought was coming from the UK but it was delivered without me needing to.
