Review of RealTruck customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is RealTruck registered on BBB?
RealTruck is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
I choose this style because the salesperson Mr. Michael Todd recommended and he explained an this style the side steps are lower than the other flat of round running boards.
RealTruck were delivered on time with no damage from Fedex. Very well packed and was no missing hardware.
I followed the very simple instructions and Valah I installed both of them in 45 minutes with on help which includes popping out the plastic knobs. From the truck.
The steps are located correctly and they are sitting 5" lower from the bottom of the rocker panel and comes with three brackets already welded to the support pipe.
I highly recommend this running board with steps for short and older people.

Summary: Just another web based company that takes your money before even trying to procure the products they commit to provide. Customers understand that things happen... especially given the wide spread supply chain issues resulting from COVID. BUT, it is IMPERITAVE to communicate with your customers. Charging a customer nearly $2K and hoping they wont notice when you don't provide the product is not a good business model. Just saying... Last but not least, it took less than one day to charge me for my order when placed. Should it take 5 days to issue the refund? No other vendor (I have dealt with anyway) takes more than a day to issue a refund. Sketchy...
Continue to blast them thru social media and will also be contacting the better business bureau. In this day and time to feel like you can mistreat customers the way they do is absolutely stupid. Even the biggest customer retail stores have failed and can go down. Just ask sears or Kmart or many others who have taken care of their customers like this company has. DO NOT BUT FROM THEM PERIOD. BE SMART AND GO ELSEWHERE. YOU'LL BE MUCH BETTER OFF.

I ordered a winch and RealTruck sent me a wireless controller. That's only half of it when I tried to cancel the order before they shipped they said they would and still sent me out the wrong thing. They then said I would have to wait to get my money back until the Item was returned. This was all because the miss advertised the item which was the Item I wanted. The service after the sale was awful as well. I believe the have a habit of charging people for things then giving them a hard time to return it because some people wont bother to return it. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH "Auto Customs LLC, ***********************************

Agents have worked with the customer in regards to the issue from the time of his communication regarding the order. The return process is approved and we are waiting the item to arrive to be returned. The customer has filed a dispute with PayPal which causes the process to pause. The customer spoke to a PayPal and our supervisor who confirmed we are working with the customer to resolve the situation. There has been no delay in communication all information to the customer in a timely fashion.

False Advertising I ordered a pair of running boards for my 2018 Suburban and used the Realtruck.com website to filter my results by vehicle. I ordered the running boards and brackets that come with it. The brackets did not fit the Suburban. Once contacting real truck a week later I received another set of brackets that were so far off they were not even close to fitting. I called Real Truck back and waited 48 hours to be told they made a mistake and don't have a bracket that will fit my truck. So I get to box up and repackage all the boxes to ship back to them after two and half weeks of wasting my time. If they did not have brackets that fit the truck then why are they advertising them on their website?

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, Or should I say NO customer service! I have emailed them 5 or 6 times, tried calling but nobody returns calls. I bought running boards for my Dad's truck and the end caps don't fit right so the rubber is starting to come apart and they are only 3 months old! I just want them to be right but I can't get a return email or call. I have never had this kind of customer service before. Horrible Horrible Horrible. I wish I would have read the review BEFORE purchasing the running boards.

Canceled my $300 order before I had more problems. Called them up to check on stock & availability and was told they had it in stock in their "secondary" warehouse in Texas. They have no secondary warehouse. It is a different company that they order from when they don't have the item in stock - bunch of 'fake' customer service language. I immediately canceled the order as I was told it would ship the next day and it did not. I don't deal with companies who are not upfront and truthful with me.

I'll add to the trend we're seeing with the rest of these reviews, and that is their appalling lack of customer service. Their return policy is misleading. The "30-day satisfaction guarantee" is garbage. If you've installed the cover (who's doesn't install the cover once they get it?) they won't stand by their "return for any reason" policy. They have these "Customer Service Loyalty Specialists" who are both unfriendly and inept. The whole thing is a joke. Never use these guys for anything. If you want a good bed cover go to the manufacturer direct or use anyone else but this company.

Auto Customs Inc has the very worst customer service I have ever dealt with. They are very unhelpful and the direct phone lines they give are sent directly to voicemail which is never followed up on. I dealt with a Meghan and am very disappointed with her service. I was also hung up on the phone by an Alice (was told she is the supervisor), when I asked why the customer service was so poor. This was 4 weeks after my credit card was charged and still had no shipping or delivery date. I did finally get some honest answers from a Courtney on the same day I was hung up on. I will let all I talk to about the experience with dealing with Auto Customs Inc

Thank you for the feedback Mr. G********. I did read through all of the email communication with my team. I do feel that we could have done a better job communicating the ship times with you. The painted to match covers do tend to take longer as they have to be painted and cured before shipping. Then the are delivered on a freight truck so they take longer than ***. The supervisor didn't hang up, the phone system disconnected the call. I do want to apologize on behalf of the entire customer service team and hope you enjoy the cover.

Poor customer service and they refuse to post my bad review 1 star on their website. They contact me via email saying someone would address my problems but never happened.

Poor customer service. These guys are just drop shippers that don't stock the products that they sell. They advertise fast shipping when in fact they don't offer fast shipping. They just blame the manufacturer for their shipping issues. They also remove poor reviews from their website to boost sales and hide their poor customer service.

I bought a bakflip vp 2 years ago and my rubber seals at the trifolds have become unattached causing the cover to worp. I know it only has a 1 year warranty. I've tried to get in touch with company and no response. Can someone contact me.

Ordered a Encore Tonno Truck Cover from Auto Customs; the item was shipped in a reasonable amount of time BUT packaging was terrible and did not protect the product ordered resulting in damages. Of course Auto Customs is not who you contact for damaged or missing parts which is the problem. Customer Service from the manufacturer is slow and terrible; very slow and shipping the incorrect parts. So I have an order from Auto Customs that is worthless, not useable because I am unable to get the correct replacement part for something damaged during shipment.

A very pleasant ordering experience. Kerry in corp sales was most helpful in getting me the right part and make the ordering process a breeze.

Twelve days after the charge for my tonneau cover had hit my credit card, I sent an email asking why I had not received the promised shipping notice. After checking out on line reviews, I was concerned about the credibility of The Auto Customs. Another day went by and I called. The response was that the item was not in stock and the item had not been ordered from the manufacturer yet. By this time I was totally displeased and demanded the product be shipped prior the the first of the month or I would place the charges in dispute. At this point things appeared to be looking up. The staff was very curious, apologetic and helpful. They promised to get back to me. Although I was skeptical, they did get back to me. I was told that the order was inadvertently dropped. The order was placed and I received an email saying the order would be shipped in three days. The order actually shipped in two days. The product was received in perfect condition and was exactly what I wanted. At this point in time, I believe it was simply human error and not a fatal business flaw the processing of my order. With the exception of the order being "lost", I am pleased with Auto Customs and would be willing to use them again. Overall ranking: B+ Sales = A Customer Service = A Delivery = A Competitive Cost = A Order handling = D

Mr. V******, I appreciate your time to provide us candid feedback. We will use your feedback to help in the areas that we scored low on your score card. I am glad to hear that you received the tonneau cover and it meets your expectations. Please let us know if we can help with anything in the future. Enjoy.

I ordered a set of Pillar covers from this company and upon receipt of them I quickly realized they were not as advertised. I called immediately and was jerked around for two days before I had to threaten them with legal action if they did not issue me a return authorization. They were the worse on line purchasing experience I have ever had. Never deal with them again.

I purchased a set of running boards that were powder coated. Upon receiving the parts they were damaged. There is 4 big scratches in them and I wasn't really happy. The packaging was wrapped up and in good condition so I can Assume that the manufacture is to blame here. So I called auto customs and reported it to them. Now a week later still nothing from Auto Custom. The last I was told is that they are trying to get ahold of the manufacture and see what the manufacture is willing to do. Not a real good idea in my book when a customer is sitting on damages parts and I cant even put them on my truck.

Hello Jacob, I am very sorry for the delay getting you a response for the damage claim. I will have my customer service manager give you a call today to sort out all of the details. Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. Jeff M*****

I placed an order online, not ten minutes later, I tried to cancel it. They could not cancel the order. I had to wait to receive the cover, then take it a couple towns over to the FedEx store to return it. They charged me a $25 restocking fee. I would take me business elsewhere.

AutoCustoms runs a very deceptive website@ ************ Everything except a small logo at the bottom makes you think you are ordering from the manufacturer, not a reseller. If this were the only deception, I wouldn't be too upset - if they can fulfill the order as placed quickly and at an attractive price, I'll give them a pass on the deceptive marketing. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I placed an order an order for an MX4 with them on Dec 2nd, and was told the item was in stock and would ship out on Monday, Dec 5th. I emailed them on Thur Dec 8th to inquire about status, and was told that it would not ship until Dec 15th. I never received a response to my follow up email. I called just now, and was given a song and dance explanation as to how the warehouse was busy picking and filling orders. I spoke to the same sales rep that I placed the order with, and he could offer no explanation or solution other than a meek, insincere apology for the delay. Given that it appears the manufacturer is drop-shipping the product, AutoCustoms has little control over the timing. But know that timing - don't over promise. And if you do over-promise and your partners fail to deliver, offer something to your customer than a 'I don't give a **** cause I already have your order' attitude.

They sent me a defective cover and all my complaints fall on deaf ears i will not buy from them again
I emailed the sales person with no response. After waiting on-line for hours I was able to talk to someone about the missing pieces. The support person emailed me back and I was told to read pages 11 and 12 which I had. The support person stated the extra rails do not come with the system and closed the ticket.
Nowhere on the site does it sell the required adapter rails. I sent back an email on how do I get them with no response. I called back and after hours on hold I was able to talk to another support person. I was told that the rails would be sent and the ticket was closed. This was about a month ago and I have emailed three different people with no response. I waited on-line again for hours, put myself on callback, and left a message with the first support person all with no response.
I would recommend ordering from this company with care.
This is the first review I have written. I just want other people to know about RealTruck.
The part I ordered was supposed to be for my specific truck and it definitely was not and come to find out RealTruck don't even carry the accessories I needed for my truck. I had to email back and forth for 3 days, sending pictures of my vehicle and pictures of the parts that did not match up. Emailed back and forth, called the 1800 #, was told they would call back, and even went on the website to "live chat" still getting a "blow off" I don't know about all of you reading this BUT I do not have time in my life to continually deal with little nuisances like this. Just send that DAMN return form and move on to the next customer that has probably been annoyed also. I promise you that I will never order something from this company again.
I was sitting down to trash you guys when I saw this/these emails. I will be adding to the horrendous "reviews" that we found. Too bad I didn't see them before I tried to order from Real Truck. Resolved? RESOLVED? You say this 15 days after I asked you to cancel the orderwhich was 15 days after I filed a dispute with my credit card people which was 25 days after your email where you said you were going to "follow up with the manufacturer to get a shipping date" which was after Cieryna could not contact the manufacturerand her email to me read (partly) "Your case has been assigned to one of our World Class Customer Loyalty Specialists. They are doing a little research and will be in contact soon! A "LITTLE" research? "SOON"? "World Class Customer Loyalty Specialist"? It is laughable that you send an email stating that the request has been resolved 22 days after I filed the dispute with the bank!
And the additional email that reads "Your ticket (XXXXXXX) status has been updated to solved. We hope that we were able to answer all of your questions and concerns in a satisfactory manner!"
"Solved"? "We hope that we were able to answer all of your questions and concerns in a satisfactory manner!" Are you serious? You answered NOTHING from the day the ticket was opened.
I found two sites where I can leave a review. You can be sure that I will be letting people know this story.
Real Truck sure looks like a serious scam operation.
When I was initially shopping the site I used the chat feature for some advice on sizing. I told the employee via chat that I needed some specifics due to not having any experience in selecting wheel and tire sizes.
The responses I received were vague and minimally worded. I re-stated that I didn't understand wheel and tire sizes and needed specific and direct answers. After this, I still had to probe and question to get any relevant information.
Then I called realtruck and the employee on the phone was able to answer my questions immediately. This was the only example of quality service I've received from realtruck. I placed my order.
After I placed my order the salesperson told me I would receive an email from him within moments.
I didn't. I emailed the salesperson back myself and told him I didn't receive any confirmation. Then I was sent confirmation.
Today I received my order. One wheel was deeply gouged across the face of it in three separate places. These gouges went through the black finish and into metal.
I called realtruck and informed them of the damage and was told to send the damaged wheel back.
I was also told that a claim would have to be filed and then settled before a replacement would be shipped to me.
I asked how long that would take and told that could not be determined.
- worth noting: it SEEMS the damage to the wheel was done prior to shipping. It was the second wheel in a three wheel stack (the fourth wheel was standing on its side) on a pallet. The employee on the phone even stated the damage may have happened prior to shipping.
Three weeks out from ordering and I still don't have what I ordered and I don't know how long it will be.
Realtruck's email to me acknowledging my phone call about the damage tells me RealTruck have a high volume of emails and they thank me for my patience.
Things happen. This I understand.
What I do not understand is how one company can show one customer:. Poor salesmanship. Poor communication. Long delivery/lead times. Poor customer service
And my journey with realtruck is not yet over.
Why am I working this hard to spend thousands of dollars with realtruck?
What is the benefit to me for shopping with them?
Why does the customer have to wait for the company to reach a claim settlement with a vendor before they can receive goods that have already been paid for?
It seems that realtruck means to serve themselves and only then will they offer some semblance of service.
All odd sales practices especially in the world of 2021 where competitors are only a web search away on a mobile device.
I will not recommend realtruck.com nor will I shop with them again.
Just would like to start this email off correctly. Realtruck is the absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I ordered a bumper on December 12, let me repeat that DECEMBER 12th it has been almost two months and my bumper has not even SHIPPED yet. Next order of business is the customer service team. Your customer service team is completely terrible, I have called and talked to mutual people and all I get for a response is "I can send in a request" nobody has ever been of any sort of assistance to me. I have asked for a discount which probably won't happen because your team is horrible at what RealTruck do. I have asked to speak to a manager which is never on site, also needs a request for that. Lastly I have not been given ANY information on this bumper, when it will ship, ETA, location or status of my bumper. Every time I call there are no records of my email found I have called so many times and still get asked for two emails. I am tired of waiting around for answers and am tired of waiting for my bumper. This needs resolved and shipped NOW YOUR COMPANY IS HORRIBLE.
I went on a chat... Connected with Chris S. I asked if they guaranteed delivery by Jun 4th to 9th. His answer... "Yes" I place the order through him via chat and asked again if he was sure the order would arrive to me by June 4th-9th. His answer, again, was yes.
I finalized the order with him and my VISA card was charged $ 189.63 ( $ 175.00 plus tax).
I received an email the same day from RealTruck.com confirming the credit card charges and stating the delivery would be June 4th to 9th.
On June 3rd, I received an Email update from RealTruck... delivery is now June 14th to 21st.
I went to the site and started a chat... with Courtney B. I asked "Do you have a tow receiver hitch for a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe?" Her answer... "not at this time". I asked when a Curt hitch would be available. She replied... "we do not have it in stock, but I am showing that Curt has it in stock. The do have a lead time of 10 to 15 days, before shipping. I ended the chat.
I received another email update on June 13th... Delivery is delayed to July 5th to 9th.
I received another email update on July 3rd... Delivery is delayed to August 13th to 18th.
Contacted RealTruck via phone call on August 5th... spoke to a different Chris and explained the history and my dissatisfaction with their associates lying to me and requested a complete refund. He emailed me a support ticket for a refund.
I received an email for Leslie S. On August 11th... they would need to verify that the order had not already shipped, before cancelling the order.
Then I got another email update from RealTruck on August 12th that my order is now delayed until November 1st to 8th.
I sent an email to Laurie S. That the item was not in stock and to refund my VISa card within 3 business day, or I would dispute the charge with VISA.
I received an Email from Erin D. On August 13th... order has been successfully canceled and a request was submitted to accounting for a refund. She thanked me for my patience... which I relied that I had lost my patience and would be submitting a dispute wit VISA in three day.
My Visa card was finally credited on August 20th.
Beware! If you chose to do business with RealTruck.com!
Later that same day, I receive an Email from Real Truck notifying me of a new shipping date of June 2,2021 thru June 7,2021.
On June I, 2021 I received another Email from Real Truck with a new projected shipping date of July 7,2021 thru July 12,2021.
On June 16,2021 I received a shipping confirmation for that day.
On June 23 my cover arrived by Pilot Freight Company to my business address WITHOUT ANY arrival date or time notification.
The shipping box was heavily damaged as well as the tonneau cover. My worker tried to refuse the shipment but was told forcefully by the delivery driver for Pilot Freight that he HAD to accept the damaged cover and to file a report with Real Truck. (This is not true, you do have to sign for damaged freight goods).
I tried to Email Real Truck but all of my Emails were returned marked NO REPLY. I then tried the Chat line and they NEVER replied to me. I then tried to call Real Truck many times to try to rectify this problem. They would put me on hold for many hours NEVER answering my calls.
It is now VERY obvious that Real Trucks business model is based totally on sales and they only provide the absolute minimum of customer service required for them to stay in business.
Their positive reviews for the past months is 80.1 %.
The design and manufacturing quality of the tonneau cover itself is great but if you want to purchase one of these, I STRONGLY recommend that you used another vender to purchase it from.

I was beyond dissapointed the next morning when i got the shipping info and it said that it was not coming till Monday.
I called Realtruck and spoke to an associate who told me the label had been generated and that the cover had not shipped yet. I asked him to please find out what it would cost to next day it as it had not left the facility yet. I was told he would call me back 3 hours later no call back and a response and I had an email that my ticket was closed and RESOLVED. The response was that unfortunately we can not control fedex. RealTruck could have follow through and called me back at which point I would have gladly paid the additional money to have it shipped overnight.
I called back in and was told there was nothing that could be done. THIS DELAYED MY DEPARTURE FOR A BUSINESS TRIP AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE COVER TO ARRIVE. At this point RealTruck should have at least refunded the shipping as I was clear with all 3 associates that I spoke with that I needed it on Friday and paid for that delivery date... Don't Think I will order again
We also ordered some side steps for our truck in April, after 2 weeks of them not shipping we canceled and got our money back. We ordered steps from another company and received them in 2 days!
The customer support reps and service agents were all spot on helpful and extremely fast and courteous in all of their responses and actions on chat, phone and email. What an unexpectedly extremely pleasurable experience overall! I will most certainly look here first for any additional after-market items I may be interested in for my truck!
I installed the running boards on Friday (next day) after a quick trip to Home Depot for a very necessary 18mm deep socket tool indicated in the installation video. The installation was a little awkward to install the 6 mounting brackets primarily due to me not raising the vehicle off the ground for better access and visibility. All in all - a great customer experience and a very nice product and improved appearance and functionality of the vehicle. I would definitely purchase this product again and for sure from the Running Board Warehouse. Thank you.
