Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 159 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers faced significant delays with their orders, often waiting months beyond the promised delivery times, which were frequently inaccurate on the website. Communication was a major point of frustration, as emails and requests for updates were often ignored or met with unfulfilled promises. Consequently, many people struggled to receive refunds, often resorting to their banks or PayPal to resolve the issues. Some people were dissatisfied with the product itself, citing issues with missing parts, incorrect items, poor fit, or branding that was not requested. However, some customers also noted that despite the long waits, the seat covers were of good quality, well-made, and fit perfectly, transforming the look of their vehicles.

Scammers

Ordered some seat covers 6 weeks ago - no contact and no update - I have now sent a 7 day letter of intention to take them to court - still no response - going to small claims court now to get money back - worst company in the UK - do not buy anything off them or their parent company Auto-Kit International

Wish I would have seen these reviews…

Wish I would have seen these reviews before I parted with my hard-earned cash.

Same story as many recent reviews. Ordered a set if covers for my new T7. Paid £99. Nothing arrived. Sent a few emails and was reassured they were in production. 5 weeks later...nothing.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

I raised a dispute with my bank and the bank refunded me.

Production Delays & Late Deliveries

Dear Customers,

Hope you are well.

As you may already be aware we have had many delays in our production which has resulted in some extremely late deliveries of customer orders and some very unhappy customers.

For this we sincerely apologise and we hope we can restore your faith in us as a genuine company with growing pains.

The majority of our goods are hand made in the UK and of extremely high quality, the unprecedented demand for our products has caused a bottle neck situation in our UK production line which we are now working through and catching up.

We are aware of current customer frustrations centred around communication with our customer services team which we are also now resolving.

As of Monday 13th of April 2026 we are moving the customer services team back to the UK in line with our main production activities in order to improve the delivery timelines and the communication.

Please be rest assured we are working as hard as we can to get your order out for delivery & as quickly as possible so please bear with us.

If you cannot wait any longer for your order please let us know & we will process a full refund for you and pass on your cancelled order in the pipeline down to the next customer in the queue.

Please email customer services quoting your order number in the subject line at:

retailorders@auto-kit.co.uk

In terms of communication we aim to respond to all customers within 48 hours by email, please check all your inboxes including your spam & junk folders for our response.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologise where our customer services and delivery lead times have not met your expectations but please take note that we are working very hard to ensure the service and delivery times match the quality of our products, which are worth the wait.

We hope we can restore your faith in us as a genuine company with growing pains.

Best Wishes From The Inka Team.

Do not waste your time. The price is very attractive do not be fooled

EDIT 13.04.26 - another 2 emails sent and still no refund.

EDIT 11.04.26 - I have now sent 5 emails over 4 days and still no refund.

I tried to buy a set of front seat covers from inka in June 2025 but needed them urgently and when they emailed not in stock I waited a week and then asked to be refunded.

This year I checked again and said " in stock delivery in 3 to 5 days." So decided to buy again........

Yup...... again contacted for update, reply in production stage....not in stock then. Advised a couple of days. 1 week later and no reply.

I wouldn't mind if they stated from order to dispatch was 4 weeks of it was 4 weeks. What I hate is missed expectation by their own actions...

Just say coming from china and send me some tracking. By far one of the most consistently bad customer service levels of any company I have had dealings with.

Requested refund. No reply so raised dispute with credit card company.

Whats the saying fool me once .........

Edit after reply 10.04.26. Bringing customer services back to the UK is a great step. For those with your products they sing their praises as high quality.

Shame they also all say the same regarding customer services. Managing customer experience and expectations is whats let me down.

As per my 2 separate emails I would like a refund.

Absolute disgrace of a company

Absolute disgrace of a company. I made an order over 4 weeks ago and no delivery, yet web site stats within 3-5 days. Have asked for a full refund, yet just get completely ignored and excuses for the delay. Please avoid this company at all costs!!!

Shocking company

Shocking company, no phone, no email replies. Thankfully my bank refunded me, but if not I would have been £100 out of pocket for some none existent seat covers. If you read this and still order from these people I have no sympathy

Nothing arrived

Placed an order though nothing arrived, chased after a week to be told high demand and production is running behind. Left it for another week, contacted them again only to get the same response. Got a full refund through my credit card company. Total waste of my time
