CRANBURY, N.J.–CARiD, a leading e-commerce destination for automotive parts and accessories, has announced the successful completion of a $35 million funding round. This financial injection marks a pivotal moment for the company, underscoring its robust business model and the effective implementation of its strategic growth plan. This investment will be instrumental in driving CARiD’s expansion, fostering technological innovation, and elevating its customer service, ultimately strengthening its leadership in the online automotive parts sector, especially in providing top-tier Car Id Parts.
Since its inception in 2008, CARiD has evolved from a dynamic startup into a comprehensive and user-centric platform for all automotive needs. The company boasts an extensive catalog of high-quality products, spanning from essential car id parts to a wide array of accessories, catering to everyday vehicle owners, dedicated car enthusiasts, and professional mechanics alike. CARiD has distinguished itself through its commitment to exceptional customer service, offering expert guidance and tailored support, setting a new standard in the competitive online marketplace for car id parts.
Earlier this year, Fifth Star, Inc., an experienced operator of consumer and technology-driven businesses, demonstrated strong confidence in CARiD’s vision by acquiring a majority stake through this $35 million investment. This significant financial backing is a clear endorsement of CARiD’s customer-focused approach, broad product offerings, and strategic direction, positioning the company for accelerated growth and sustained success in the automotive e-commerce landscape. This growth is particularly timely, as the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads reaches a record high of 12.5 years, creating a substantial and ongoing demand for aftermarket car id parts and maintenance solutions.
