“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!

Prices of everything is high Trump hasn't been. Sworn in yet. I have to pay nearly one thousand dollars for out of pocket. I live only on SS can't afford out of pocket.

Not happy……do not recommend CarShield to anyone

Reason I chose this business:

Because I got the impression CarShield would pay if I needed repairs. Y’all are a true rip off.

I had Cardshield for about 3 years and have used their service few times. I have no regrets of having then as my preferred insurance. This year I went to one of their recomended repair shop, the repair shop was very customer service oriented. The shop made the diagnostic of the repairs needed. And to the surprrice of me Cardshieds personel went beyond shop recommendations and my car was fully repaired saving lots of repair cost. Also they "walked the tuck"" by renting a car until my car was fully repaired.

Very friendly customer service

Reason I chose this business:

My car was out of car dealer warranty,

I brought my car to my favorite mechanic and he told me that I needed all new brakes and a master cylinder, I told him to fix it and it was done the next day and Car Shield took care of the cost and I was back on the road that night.

Reason I chose this business:

Car Shield is insurance for your car when it breaks down, and that is what I love about it, anything goes wrong with my car and I know that it will be fixed and paid for by Car Shield.

I am happy with the quality of the work performed. I am a little disappointed in the fact that all labor was not covered especially since I went to a car shield in network repair shop.

I called Car Shields and the lady was very professional, polite and helpful. So far, I'm very pleased with my experience. I told others friends family members about my experience.

The monthly payments were a little high. So, they lady was helpful and adjust my payments.

Reason I chose this business:

Driving a European vehicle, I know parts and repairs will be expensive so, I didn't want to take a chance since it's my only vehicle.
