“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!

Everyone I have encountered has been very professional and explained what I needed to do. It was very helpful to me as it was all new, but it has been very smooth in getting my vehicle repaired.

Reason I chose this business:

I shopped different companies and called 2; Car Shield and Endurance. The car shield rep was polite and explained what level of protection was available to me for my vehicle. The Endurance tep told me I was ignorant about what Car Shield really covered and I should just sign with Endurance. I picked Car shield because I felt I was dealing with the best.

My car is a 2018 - Not "old", but certainly not "new".
It has 41,000 miles on it, because I don't drive much. Ice T kept drilling in my head to get Car Shield, and I love him... so I joined.

I was enrolled for 6 months. Something wacky happened to my car. Coolant started leaking from my car, but not on to the ground (where I could have detected a problem). It leaked into the engine. My car overheated on me, twice; Dashboard lights were flashing RED and the font was yelling at me to shut the car off.

I towed it to the local dealership. They did a two-day diagnostic on it. Turned out; I needed a whole new engine!

At 41,000 miles... I needed a new Engine?!? WHAT?!?

Car Shield picked up the bill. Total cost was just shy of $6,000.

I have recommended Car Shield to *SO* many people, ever since this incident. Friends, Family, Neighbors, Strangers... You name it! If I see a random person with their hood up and a puzzled look on their face, I recommend Car Shield.

I could not be more grateful for this Insurance. I will be a life-long customer of Car Shield.

There were a lot of transfers from one department to the next, I will say that. And because of that, I did need to repeat myself and why I was calling over and over. However, once I got to the right agent, my questions were answered quickly and easily and the conversation was smooth like butter

Reason I chose this business:

Mechanical repairs to a car are always expensive. My car was 5 years old, and I wanted to be cautious about "covering my behind" in regards to any upcoming repairs that could occur.

I was amazed how quickly; car shield acted on my claim at Dobbs! And then how quickly they paid for the claim! Had knee replacement; and needed therapy! Only two days!

Reason I chose this business:

So happy I decided to go with them! I made the right decision! Thanks car shield! It's cheaper a month than a new car payment! Very happy with your service

Car Shield provided the service tech so I took it there and the rest was handled by the service tech and Car Shield, no hassle involved.

I told them my vehicle problem and they recommended a service shop to take it to.

Reason I chose this business:

I heard Car Shield was good so I wanted to find out and it turned out it was true.

I have never experienced sure rudeness before in my adult life the with not Car Shield but the company that they are affiliated with. I changed to Endurance.

They were pretty nice but it was the other company that didn’t want to help

Reason I chose this business:

I had heard good and bad but after what I went through with them never again.

I was told on the phone that the air compressor was covered and that I could send on the invoice. Then another person told me after I called to send the invoice that I was not covered.

I was told 2 different things which didn’t help me at all.

Reason I chose this business:

I heard about your company on 106.1 and I trusted their judgment.
