AWESOME COMPANY
December 7, 2023

Due to financial issues, they were able to bring down my payment without sacrificing service. They are even re-imbursing me for my new tires. I didn't even know that was included. Gwen in customer service was terrific. Thanks to Gwen and all the Carshield team

My car had been in the shop for 2 weeks. I still have no idea of your covering the repair & I still have no rental car. The shop said they sent you everything you wanted. You say the shop did not send it. All I know is I have no car to get around with & I can not get an answer from eather of you.

We, at CarShield, have little to no control over the decision of your claims. That is up to the administrator of the account. We are always happy to explain your coverage details and assist in any customer service needs, however.

Dealership does not use services of carshield
September 3, 2023

Had trouble with component of engine. Took to dealership for repair, explained that carshield would honor all warranty coverage. Was told by dealership that previous dealings with carshield nullified all future warranty repairs.

We do apologize you feel this way. We at CarShield have little to no control over the claims, shop process or the administrators' decision. We'd like to look over your account. What is your policy number?

Frustrating
January 19, 2024

I was told multiple times to scan my tow receipt for reimbursement and I did just that and I have yet to receive my reimbursement. I have been waiting a week to about two weeks and I haven't received any emails explaining why I haven't received it or if I even will.

Not sure anymore about Carshield
February 8, 2024

It's sad that when you go to a dealership and you're told they don't deal with Carshield and they tell you why when you've been told that all you have to do is take your car to the dealership of your choice and they won't accept your warranty

Great sales rep & great customer service reps
August 15, 2023

Only had it for one month becuase i decided to get a new car and that in itself was a great opportunity not to have to buy a whole year or more at one time. I never got to put it to the test at a service dealer but i am confident it would have been fine! My wifes warranty is running out soon and we will definitley be contacting Car Shield!

Disappointed
November 23, 2023

Just because my car is not driven much and even though I've had CarSheild for over six months, they denied my claim. They knew when I purchased my Platinum plan that the car was rarely driven. Now Carshield has denied my coverage.

Dead battery issues before wintertime.
November 20, 2023

My battery was dead and the vehicle could not be put into neutral. I called CarShield for assistance to get a tow to the dealership. The attendant was friendly and helpful. We found a tow company that could move the vehicle on a flatbed.

Disappointed
November 16, 2023

None of the problems were covered, also knew we needed a rental, was waiting to see if was covered so we couldn't use the car rental through our policy, because of having to call before we knew what was going on with the automobile.

Starter for f 150
July 10, 2024

The starter on my 2018 f 150 was remaining engaged at startup. Took it to my mechanic, he contacted car shield and work it all out. Replaced the part and all I paid was my deductible. Easy peasy.

CarShield has no address
February 13, 2023

Look on the CarShield mailing you received. There is no mailing address on it. They hide the place where they are doing business. Read the fine print in their mailing. CarShield does not of itself provide extended vehicle warranties. CarShield simply acts as a sales agent for other warranty companies. Do a "CarShield" internet search and the Better Business Bureau has many, many complaints on the company.

I was with this company for about two years until March 30 when I found out, they dented my claim just because my tag was out but less be honest they worry about the wrong thing. What about Insurance? I can see if I didn't have Insurance on my car I have have been driving it but for a tag being out come on NOW so people please be careful with this company cause they will come up with anything they can not to GET your car fix when you paying every month…

I was very pleased with car shield.
August 14, 2023

I had no problem, the car dealership called car shield and told them what I needed done and they paid the bulk of the bill. I only had to pay a small copay. I am very satisfied with car shield. Love me some car shield.

Coverage
December 6, 2023

I saw the commercial on the television. I called, and the salesperson was very knowledgeable and I was going to apply for the basic package. He convinced me to apply for the electronic package also. I was a little skeptical, but he encouraged me to take advantage of this one time offer today only. I was hesitant and he explained that I would be satisfied in the end. One month later, my electronics stopped working. I took my car to my dealership. They told me the problem, and I told them I had Carshield. I sat in the waiting room for over an hour, when my mechanic informed me that the repairs were almost complete and I just had to pay my co-pay; Carshield had paid the bill. I was so happy that the knowledgeable salesperson had convinced me to purchase the best insurance package for the best coverage. The commercial was right, and I'm very satisfied.

Horrible
January 24, 2024

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Will never refer carshield to my friends nor family. I wish I had know ahead of time how carshield operates. I would rather pay out of pocket than to deal with carshield.

3rd Party Issues

Keep getting call from Car Shield saying i am back on payments. I have autopay setup with Navy Federal Credit Union. Do not Understand why I get all these Calls. Could be an Expensive Scam on Carshield.
