“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.

The agent was good, the phone reception was poor. Generally nothing out of the ordinary.

Reason I chose this business:

Don’t really know. Thought it would be helpful if something unexpected failed on the van.

Carshield does not honor dealership claims for repairs. I hate I ever bought this crap.

Terrible. Will file BBB complaint. I will let everyone know Carshield is fake.

Reason I chose this business:

Mistake I should have followed my first mind and paid for myself. Carshield is crap and everyone should know the truth.

You give prices for repairs that no shop will do. You give price for parts that you cannot buy the part.

I have a claim and your people would not listen to me about what the cost would be. The prices for parts and time to repair is not correct. I went to two shops and what you want to pay is about half. What ever you are using to quote prices is not what shops are charging.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought it was a good company but have found out it is not.
