“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!

Not clear. Noone gives same information. It is terrible service 🥴

They trained other the staff so it's a domino effect of "Bridges to Nothingness"

Many businesses do not like taking service because of the same

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was a plus

I have yet to have to submit a claim on my1998 Dodge RAM Pickup. Given its age, I was pleasantly surprised when they agreed to cover it.under the Gold Plan.

Reason I chose this business:

I bought this used 1998 Dodge RAM truck with a shade over 110,000 miles on the odometer when I purchased with a strong 5.2 Litre 318 Cubic Inch V8 engine with Automatic Transmission. I knew if it qualified for coverage I wanted to get a policy if it was not cost prohibitive. At its age and the way it is run with hauling and towing, I wanted to ensure if something broke it was covered.

Took my car in for repairs…nothing was covered by Car Shield. After 1 year of paying $109.99. Will probably cancel

Reason I chose this business:

Heard from friends it was a good coverage. Guess not

That is unfortunate and we’re sorry we couldn't help. We can only cover the parts listed on your policy. Hopefully, we can help with your next repair.

After three years with my car shield policy on my Ford fusion, I added my Subaru Crosstrek and three months after having my cross trek the hybrid motor needed to be rebuilt and because of a bulletin from 2017 the claim was denied and I'm sure with this scam company Anytime you submit a claim for anything they're gonna come up with a reason as to why it's not covered under the policy even though you have the highest policy covering everything possible I canceled my two policies. I would never recommend Carshield and their TV advertisements are an absolute abuse of customer relations. When we first submitted the claim it took 10 days of back-and-forth before we could open up a claim they wouldn't submit the parts list from me the customer they had to speak with the dealership and the Subaru dealership in Tucson Arizona. Service department were very laid-back and lazy and did nothing in an attempt to get the job Which would have netted them an $8000 service you think they would've worked the little harder. The service manager was less responsive than the front desk people I would never recommend service at Tucson Subaru either. It's really a shame to say that customer service has really been lost, in this new generation

Products used:
Didn’t do repair because Carshield denied the claim due to a seven-year-old bulletin which has nothing to do with Worn parts on the hybrid motor after three years of policy on one car and three months on the newest used car, I canceled my plan, figuring that every time I go to a service center they’re going to come up with some stupid finding in their favor not to cover your claim as a customer, I feel totally violated and ripped off from a nationwide company spending millions of dollars on advertising and promoting false information about their coverage

We do apologize you feel this way. We at CarShield have little to no control over the claims, shop process, or the administrators' decision. We are, however, always willing to explain the coverage details or help you with any of your Customer Service needs.

I was satisfied with the problem of my check engine light. The problem was solved. Thank you.

I contacted Car Shield about my car for service place to take my car for service and they provided me three places that I could choose from. I selected one and took my car there and service performed. The check engine light problems was solved at Mr. Tire..

Reason I chose this business:

Because of the Car Shield commercials.
