I filed a claim regarding engine problems. Even though my issue was not covered by my contract, the claims adjuster was very sympathetic to my situation. He pointed out, in the contract, why my repair was not covered. He stated I did everything right, in regards to maintenance on my car, and filing a claim before the car broke down. I had to buy a new car, with a new car warranty. In the event I ever need an extended warranty, I will consider CarShield again for my coverage. I will also recommend CarShield to others. Your customer service was top notch.
Walmart missed putting in one number for the odometer reading and it went to carfax, impossible to deal with, which caused car shield to say the is an issue with the carfax report and they refuse to pay to fix my truck!
Chris, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any confusion regarding your claim. We are always willing to go over your contract with you, explain the claim process, and address any issues. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department with any questions or concerns you may have.
They will put language in the contract that will negate fixing your vehicle. Car warranties are not worth the expense and hassle.

I chose to cancel my coverage for the time being due to having other coverage and significant medical bills. Associate was very helpful and understanding. I will be back with Car Shield when my other coverage expires

The claim process went very well. The representatives very thorough and well informed. The only issue I had was the fact I was on hold about 45 minutes.

We are pleased to hear our team was able to answer any questions you had. Thank you again for your time!
I didn't appreciate the misinformation during the early stages of claim approval process.
The repair shop was waiting for the claims department claiming that the necessary information was provided to the claims department to get the process moving.
I spoke with the claims department after waiting patiently for the process to get moving towards approval.
Unfortunately it wasn't until I registered my dissatisfaction on the claims department inquiry site before the claims department and the shop was on the same page.
Thankfully my vehicle is under going the necessary repairs.
I expect the remaining outcome will be more satisfying than the initial start.

Horrible and embarrassing and I want to cancel my contract and subscription
Bernard, It is unfortunate to hear that you have not had a good experience with us. Please give us a call at 1-800-587-4162 to get your feedback to better understand your situation and see how we can help.
These people are a scam as far as I'm concerned. I was under the impression that things like a malfunctioning window motor and A/C were covered but I was later told by a different agent that nothing electrical was covered. Only the engine and the underside of the vehicle. Yet when there was problem with a leaky seal they said that the problem was a preexisting condition.
Rick, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears the parts that were needed for the repair were not listed for coverage on your contract. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162.
I asked for extension without canceling my account, and the company responded with such compassion and understanding 🙏🏾 thank you 😊
Thank you for your review and we are always here to help. Please give us a call if you need anything else!
The issue with my car was diagnosed and woukd have been covered by the warranty but the warranty company said another procedure that was quite expensive had to be done first and would not be covered. Because of the demand by the rental company, the dealer could not fix the problem they identified. I took the vehicle to another mechanic and he fixed the item that was identified and I've had no issues with this since. Very disappointed and I'm in the process of looking for another warranty company. I was warned about Carshield and thought it was just competition slander, but now I'm not so sure.
Tom, the only claim with your account is from February of this year. We recommend calling our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 to so we can get a better understanding of the issues at hand. We apologize for any confusion and we look forward to speaking with you soon.
If your car is towed, they only cover $125. Dealerships do not accepted third party parts so the customer has to pay the difference of an OEM part.
Eleanor, it is unfortunate to hear that there was confusion regarding your coverage. We have put in for further review to make sure that the reimbursement was taken care of. We mail the contracts at the time of sale for customer to review their coverage and benefits. The contracts do have a limit for Roadside Assistance. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
I had a coolant leak and took my truck to my local garage. They contacted Carshield with the required information and I was promptly contacted by a Carshield rep who informed me of what Carshield would pay. I was satisfied with the amount and OKed the repair.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with our services. Please don’t hesitate to call us if you need anything else!
They responded well to my car repair needs. Thanks so much. Sincerely Shirley Sims
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that! It's wonderful to know that you found our service helpful. Don't hesitate to give us a call if you need anything else.
I called to see if Car Shield would cover the cost of the repairs my car needed. She was not sure and asked to have the dealership call with the details of the repairs. It turned out that they were not covered.
Marjean, we're happy to hear that Customer Service was able to provide you with the correct claims process. We always advise our customers to have the shop call in with an estimate so that claims can verify coverage. However, we don't see that a claim has been called in since 2022. If you are still experiencing issues with the vehicle please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162.
Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!
Jane, we're definitely sorry to see you go and appreciate your time to leave a review. If you ever want a start back up with us, we're just a phone call away!
