“Piece of mind”

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!

“Dissatisfied as dissatisfied can be.”

Chester P.
10/15/24

After many years (7) of being with your company and very little repair claims; now that a major repair is needed you'll have dropped the ball with a lot of red tape and inquisitions. I've paid my premiums like clockwork every month. I'm not at all happy with your service or professionalism towards fixing my car, you'll looking for the cheap route to solve my issues. Cheapness seems to be your best interest and not satisfying a seven (7) year customer!

Car shield was very slow at sending out replacement parts to service install location

Very frustrated with response to my concerns.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought they would be more prompt with getting the parts to service install location even if it meant paying a little more.

I talked to several people at car shield and was told that I should only paying the $100 diagnostic fee, yet I paid nearly $600. Their customer service was sympathetic but didn't help to resolve this matter 😕

I was transferred to 3 different agents. They were sympathetic but did not help me resolve the issues

Reason I chose this business:

Sounded like a good idea, until it wasn't when they had to pay my claim

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.

I was on the fence about keeping the Car Shield contact, because of the monthly cost. The problem with my vehicle didn't seem to be covered when I read the coverage booklet. I was very pleased with the quick service from the mechanic to evaluate my vehicle's problem and Car Shield's approval to fix it on the same day. They got the parts within days and my vehicle is running fine.

I called customer service to get some places that were near my home and that accepted Car Shield.

Reason I chose this business:

Seen the commericals and a suggestion from my husband.

Had the coverage for two years and never had a claim, then the transmission went out at ******* miles. Care shield took care of everything. I was skeptical but the policy paid off. I am continuing my policy and wanting to put my truck on a policy.

Just phone calls trying to locate a transmission.

Reason I chose this business:

Just saw the add on Tv. Due to health reasons I can’t work on my vehicles like I used too.

I called Car Shield to submit a claim about my air condition in my 2012 Ford Focus blowing hot air. I took my car to Blake Utter Ford. Blake Utter Ford service advisor Jim Burton has had my car in his shop before for repairs. My air conditioner was repaired. The total bill was over $1600. All I paid was my $100 deductible. Thanks Car Shield.

Reason I chose this business:

I used to own a 2001 Buick Century. I was covered with Car Shield. The transmission went out on the 2001 Buick Century. Car Shield repaired the transmission. The repairs was over $5000. I just paid my $50 deductible. Thanks Car Shield.

Knowing you need to have your transmission rebuilt is a scary situation. I want to thank Car Shield for making it less scary. They paid the majority of the cost and I have my car back. Thank you Car Shield.

Reason I chose this business:

The monthly cost is reasonable to have peace of mind in case of a major car repair cost.

I attempted to purchase extended warranty for my 2012 F150 truck. Thru Carfax it was reported to have over 300 thousand miles. The condition of the truck indicated a lot less. Michelle from Carsheild informed me that with that many miles it couldn't be covered. She encouraged me to dispute this with Carfax. She was very apologetic and helpful. She was very pleasant to talk with. I started a dispute with Carfax which includes a trip to the Ford dealership. They accessed the ECM which confirmed it had *******.5 miles. I received a letter from the Ford dealership confirming this which I sent to Carfax. I then called Carsheild to let you know. I didn't get her name but I've never been treated more rudely. I was informed that Carsheild only is your information source and wouldn't listen to me or anything about the dispute with Carfax then hung up on me. I understand bad days but that has no place in customer service. Thank you for listening. Norm
