“Piece of mind”

Jeffrey B.
12/1/24

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.

Someone is not saying the truth. Car dealer said That Carshield lies and Carshiel said Dealer lies. The problem is that costumer is in between and paying for service on both sides. I pay monthly to Carshield and I pay for job on my car. In other words...I paid double. Customer service on both sides are terrible and never contact me to end this nightmare. Carshield never return calls or never answer the phone. Last two times they put me on hold form more than 45 minutes and just cut the call with no reason.

Tip for consumers:
NOT RECOMMENDED, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I feel like extortion in progress. No customer service, no answers, excuses, lies, monthly payment is the only call that Carshield insist if you do not answer at one.

Mattie, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. We send out the contract at the time of sale for review, which goes over the parts that are listed for coverage. We advise having the repair facility call our claims department with the diagnostic to start the claim. 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 if you have any further questions or concerns.
