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!
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.
Purchased a vehicle this year, within 6months having my vehicle I reached to carshield and purchased a policy. During the time of 4 months into my policy, my vehicle had some mechanical issues. I immediately called carshield and they recommend two repair facilities. Carshield denied the service they required. I took my vehicle to a third repair facility, paid extra monies to teardown my vehicle and carshield denied my claim not only once, but twice! Now I'm stuck with no vehicle and car note. If I've would have done more research with other warranty companies, I would have NEVER used carshield. Customer service is very poor and the adjusters just don't care or willing to work with you. Like I said, I've purchased a vehicle and carshield ask for maintenance records on a vehicle that I've provided the car fax report in detail. They just didn't want to pay out the repair cost of $16,000. And I was given this amount directly from carshield. My last hope was shattered by rejection from carshield! By the way, when I did reach out to carshield, the thing they said was sorry things didn't work out! I purchased the platinum policy...
Good luck to those who just need minor repairs, carshield will not fix major repairs...
But they will continue to make you pay your premium!
Seems like my conversations were based on the companies greed. My repairs were denied twice after being escalated.

When putting in a claim a Car Shield representative called and was very informative of everything I needed to do. He walked me through it all. Very polite, very courteous, and very patient.

Thank you for your time and review. If you have any questions give us a call!
Being on a budget and owning a Mercedes Benz is a contradiction. Having Carshield by my side in times of need is priceless!
Thank you Carshield for saving my $#*! several times.
My question I asked was is my account in good standing? I may have a vehicle issue, and have to take the car in for service. Am I covered? These questions were answered clearly and politely.
I like the ease of mind Carshield provides when my car breaks down.

Hope it does not happen again.

Unable to help me. Finally I was told to have the service manager to call Car care and get their costs, parts, labor ect. He talked to your company and gave me a discounted pric which was better.
So, So, Next time be a little more courtous.
I thought Car Shield was a good company and that I have paid 79.00 since 2015. The people I talked to were not that understanding. I did not appreciate the run around. I will tell you that Scenic motors is the best dealership I have ever used. In Surry County, north Carolina. Ithank you for cutting my costs, it helped a lot and I thank you for your help. However, I didn't know how car shield worked in trying to get the cost and price and lobor. I thought I took my booklet That I was issued and be taken to a dealership for repair, I now know different. If needed I hope you will consider this. I will use Scenic motor in the future and I hope you will honor my contract. Thank you for your help.

When I was in a financial hardship they worked with me so that I could keep my coverage. The representative I spoke with was extremely helpful and polite. I could not ask for better service!
The customer service representative was extremely helpful and polite!
Because the policy covers everything except the normal ware and tare or normal maintenance on the vehicle as long as I keep up with the maintenance of my car.

Many dealers and mechanics do not accept Car Shield. They have stated that car shield does not pay what they are suppose to pay. I called car shield to get the name of aservice station to get my car repaired and the name I was given, stted when i CALLED THEM stated immeditely they do not deal with car shield. I have een paying for almost 2 years $89 per month. It is sad to know that Car Shield is not accepted at many repair shops.
Because I first believed in all the hype that was televised.

Sorry you’re having trouble finding a local repair shop that accepts our coverage. Some shops refuse to take our coverage, however it is not for the reasons you may think. Some shops refuse to take any outside coverage because they want to be in charge of their own prices. There is a nationally recognized labor guide that tells repair facilities what to charge for what services and things like that. But it's up to each individual shop whether or not they want to follow it. With coverage like ours, we keep shops from overcharging our customers and shops don't always like that. We’re happy to stand on our record of servicing over 2 million customers over our 18 years in business. Not to mention our claims department pays out over $5 million in claims every month. If you need help finding other shops in your area, please give us a call.
No help in car rental department telling me there is no enterprise rental here there is one I don't want to pay out of pocket for the rental

Well when I first got Car Shield I heard negative reviews about them but when it came down to having to use them I was pleased. I hope it stays that way.
I had an exstended warranty before and when it ran out I thought I’d give Car Shield a try.
