“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.

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!

The lady I spoke with was nice and helpful. She answered all my questions, and was able to help find me additional credits to help reduce the monthly price.

Reason I chose this business:

It was a name that I had heard before. I wanted to deal with a reputable company that was nationwide.

So far, I haven't had a need to use the car shield. So, it would hard to judge it at this time.All the contacts that I have made have been satisfactory.

"Every time I call, I am told that a certain service is covered. However, when I call back after a couple of weeks, I am informed that it is not covered. This inconsistency makes me unsatisfied because I am unable to get accurate information."

Reason I chose this business:

My purpose for the car shield was to be able to provide me service when I least have the money and affordable cost to me for repairs

I tried calling to stop my policy and was told I didn't have one, but you didn't mind taking $85 out of my checking account every month. So I called my back and had them make sure you can't take anymore out.

The first person I spoke with didn't have all the information correct with what Car Shield covers.
The second person I spoke with was more knowledgeable and put me more at ease.

Reason I chose this business:

To cover my vehicle for break downs and roadside assistance.

Car Shield presents itself as an extended warranty. Then has clauses in the fine print that allows the to not pay a claim. They also use pressure to get you to out a policy before you can read the fine print.

We understand that we took your money but our policy is written in a way so we don’t have to pay a claim. Had I been told Car Shield will not pay for moving engine part I would have never taken out a policy.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was a reputable company. Man was I wrong……

We've been waiting three weeks now for the adjuster to show up for the approval to get our transmission repaired. The other garages we went to wouldn't except Car Shield because of very slow payments. Now I can understand their not excepting Car Shield! Time is not on our side with this being our only vehicle. We paid our money up front to purchase this plan so it's time for Car Shield to honor their part!

They do their best to get you answers.

Reason I chose this business:

Because they’re very well advertised and I thought they would be an asset.

Great company, they actually do what they say they are going to do. Took my truck into my dealership for repair. The dealership told me they were going to do a diagnostic check and report to CarShield what they find. A few minutes later I received an email from CarShield reporting a claim. Exactly 10 minutes I received another email from CarShield stating claim approved. A few minutes later a service technician came to inform me of what I already knew, that the claim was approved. Highly recommend this company!

Excellent Auto Warranty Service
I highly recommend them.
They went above and beyond my expectations to meet my needs in having my car repaired.
Call them if you need auto warranty for your vehicle. I am truly glad I had this coverage for my vehicle.

I have a CarShield plan and had an issue with my SUV and CarShield helped me locate a dealer that was in their Car Repair Network. The process was stress free from start to the finish of the repair. I was only responsible for the co pay and a few parts totaling $200.00. The repair would have coated at lease $2500-3000 without having the CarShield Protection. The other bonus is having road side assistance. My car is several years old but having Car Shield is like having the extra warranty at a dealer. If you are thinking about purchasing a plan it's well worth it and def pays for itself! Thanks again Car Shield! 😊

Excellent

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Car Shield because I wanted that extra coverage on my car since the original optional warranty was expired. It gives me peace of mind!

I would have to drive a half hour to an hour to get to a service that accepts your insurance.
I tried the local ones but they told me I would have to go to a Jeep dealership in order to get the correct part.

They answered my questions. They were nice and knowledgeable.

Reason I chose this business:

I have had car shield for a couple of years now I’m thinking of canceling

Put in one claim in 4 years. Rejected rejected the map light repair even though original agent said it was covered. Repair place had to diagnose the problem which cost $250 to determine it was not covered.
Cancelled insurance after that and it was the day of month for next payment. I had sold the car. Called car shield to get payment back they said sorry can't do even though I didn't own car. They are rated one of worst companies.

Had vehicle in shop waiting to hear back about the results for repair. Car shield kept asking for more diagnostic from dealership which resulted in the same information being sent back and forth for two weeks. End result I waited two weeks to find out repairs were not going to be handled by car shield. No one from car shield kept me informed about any of the processes through out so I kept having to call and call to speak to customer service who kept saying they were waiting to hear back from dealership that had my vehicle. The dealership was in contact with me daily and informed me that car shield was receiving the same information I was being emailed. They weren't waiting like stated

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was a reliable company
