What exactly is CarCrateKit?
CarCrateKit is a monthly car readiness system, not a mystery box.
Each month is planned around real-world driving needs, safety, maintenance, and preparedness, based on the season.
Is CarCrateKit a mystery or surprise box?
No.
CarCrateKit is fully transparent.

No novelty items. No filler.
How many items come in each box?

When will I get my first box?
It depends on when you subscribe:
- Subscribe on or before the 25th of the month→ Your first box ships between the 25th and 30th of the following month.
- Subscribe after the 25th→ Your first box ships the month after next.
Example:

When am I billed?
You are charged immediately when you subscribe for your first box.
After that:

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?
Yes — anytime.

If you cancel after being charged for a box, you’ll still receive that box. Your subscription simply won’t renew the following month.
What if I already own some of the items?
That’s normal.
CarCrateKit is designed to build a complete, well-rounded car setup over time, not assume you’re starting from zero. Many subscribers keep extra items as backups, use them in multiple vehicles, or replace older gear.
Do I need to keep everything in my car?
Not necessarily.
Some items are designed to stay in your trunk or glove box long-term. Others are tools or consumables you’ll use as needed. You decide what stays in your vehicle.
