“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.

Great price, excellent customer service. I'm not much for words so if you do not like what I have to say I am done with this type of stuff.

We wanted to change our way of paying for the service you offer and it was handled in a flash.

Everything was alright after calling Car Shield who gave me options where I could go to get my Jeep worked on because it was running hot. The problem was the car rental no one explained the way it works after telling me I could rent a car until mine was ready and setting up an appointment to pick it up no one said when the time started when Car Shield would start paying.

The customer service rep. was helpful and explained thins to me.

Reason I chose this business:

I had Car Shield for about 2 years before I used it. My Jeep was out of the dealership warrenty
