“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.

I've been a customer for nearly 2 years ($3,000 paid in membership) without filing a claim. Had a component in my cooling system break down (part cost only $42). My claim was denied. With the newly updated app, I can't click the link to open my contract to review my coverage to reference what is or isn't covered but I keep up on my preventive maintenance. The component is "the vehicle breaking down" yet the repair isn't covered. The rental - that's only AFTER the garage figures out what is wrong and if the repair will take more than 4 hours to repair. I live in Muncie IN & the population of our county is@ 115,000 but the only "approved" garages were a KIA dealership, Midas, & Meineke. The garage has to wait forever to call them and start the claim. The garage can't be on hold half the day. Yet when i called and talked with an agent, that agent can't call the garage with me on the line to help start the process. It's a shame they don't stand behind their alleged coverage for repairs. I will definitely be canceling my contract with them.

Products used:
They offer warranty service on vehicles breaking down - I have been with them for 2 years and attempted to file a claim after a component on my cooling system broke down and they denied my claim.
