“Piece of mind”

Jeffrey B.

I have 2 vehicles covered under car shield including my 19 year old Land Cruiser. It comes with specific & straight forward guidance if we ever break down. Very happy to know I'm covered in the future!

“Horrible, save your money”

Cody g.
11/2/24

Engine blew up and they only covered $1200 out of the $6000. My shop provided all the necessary details from cause of failure to freeze frame data. They refused to pay the entire claim. Even though all parts were covered under the contract. If you google this company you'll understand why there's a 10 million dollar lawsuit for deceptive ads. No shop or dealership wants to deal with CarShield either. They are difficult to work with and do not pay out. Save yourself and go with another company.

First I would advise folks to review the BBB rating. They have settled a 1,000 claims this past year in the NW.
I went to their web site after seeing numerous TV ads. Barely finished filling out the info (to get quote supposedly) when I got a call. First guy asked how many miles on car and was everything okay. He then immediately transferred me to Vince (salesman). Vince asked how many miles on the car and was everything okay.
He then went into a sales pitch about the low miles on my car and I qualified for the Diamond level. Hard to get a word in during the sales pitch. He went on to describe the benefits for only $129.99 a month. I asked about other levels of coverage, Vince stated that my low miles made the Diamond coverage the same price as the Platinum and as I was a first time called I could get the Diamond coverage for $109.99 a month. I asked for a copy of the contract.
Vince did not want to send me a copy but said I would get one as soon as I paid the $109.99 and had 30 days to cancel. He stated the contract was exclusionary and if it wasn't listed in the contract it was covered. After going back and forth he finally e-mailed me a sample contract, all 24 pages. I asked him who I should call after I looked this over and made my decision. He wanted to wait while I read it. Told him that 214 pages was a lot of pages to list the things that weren't covered and I didn't think he wanted to wait while I read it. I said that I didn't think he wanted to wait while I read the whole thing. He said take my time and immediately put me hold with music playing.
I hung up.

Other reviews have stated how hard it is to cancel the contract. How they have an excuse for not covering a claim. The BBB has an very derogatory statement regarding reviews and complaints.

Tip for consumers:
Statement from the BBB and other reviews

Products used:
Was not even give an opportunity to purchase any of their services.

Representatives don't seem to have appropriate knowledge of cars.

Reason I chose this business:

Was interested in having warranty coverage for older car. However, have encountered that CARSHIELD is not acceptable by many dealers. They do not want to go thru the long red tape to process.
