Experience was great till I got to the dealership ended up with almost $900 bill because you guys did not cover either diagnostic test to figure out what the problem was which I don't understand that part and it kind of makes you question if I keep want to keep the warranty.

Hard to use
October 5, 2024

Some repair shops refuse to do repairs using carshield, and after one started the process, it took almost a month for carshield to approve the repair, so I was without my truck for a month. (Many calls and long hold times, garages just don't have the time to deal with).

Try to promote Home Owners Ins
October 4, 2024

This company called me and wanted me to bundle homeowners insurance with car insurance. I've been getting notices in the mail for quite a while. Finally, I told them that I don't own this home. The Rep said "thank you, I'll make a note of that and we won't call you anymore." Wonderful!

My air conditioning unit went in my SUV and all I had to pay was my deductible. So it worked out just like they said it would. I'm impressed. And I'm very thankful that I had car shield.

Car shield work's...
October 4, 2024

When my car broke down I attempted to contact Car Shield; but apparently they was not car shield. I was told that car shield did not pay claims in KY and had law suites with various repair companies. They tried to get me to cancel my policy and file a com,plaint to get my money back that I had paid into car shield; I decided that did not sound correct. I took my car to the dealership and they contacted car shield and got the ball rolling. It took some time(3-4 weeks) but car shield did honor lmy claim and paid all but 885.00. I am very happy that car shield stood by their claims and repaired my car. Thank God.

I had a good experience
October 4, 2024

I had a repair totaling $2900 for a transmission repair. The dealership did not want to take Car Shield, because of the reputation they had, for not covering repairs. I highlighted, in the Car Shield contract, what they said they would cover. They dealer made an exception and it was paid. Of course I did have to pay my deductible of $500. That was such a relief!

Being able to get a rental for a week from CarShield is great but the dealership still has my car with no idea when the part will come in or when the vehicle will be repaired. So I am only able to use vehicle for a week paid by CarShield but need to pay the additional cost on my own.
