“Piece of mind”

Jeffrey B.
12/1/24

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!

“Horrible, save your money”

Cody g.
11/2/24

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.

Although I have been a customer for some time, I never used the service as my truck was totaled out on the 18th of Oct. From a deer accident.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Car Shield because of the price markup's out there today and for the money I couldn't argue the price for the added insurance that was offered me. I will with no hesitation opt to choose Car Shield in the future simply because it's always better to have and not use than need to use and not have, simple choice!
