“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.

Was very disappointed in the whole situation about all I can say

Not good at all when I signed up with car shield I was told a brake down would cost me a 100 dollar deductible never said if car shield wasn’t satisfied with labor rate I would have to pay portion they refused to pay car shield said shop coolant was to much so I had to pay 160.00 to get my vehicle back glad it was only a minor break down car shield can’t expect these shops to negotiate with them they are within their rights for what they charge so I’m done with car shield

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was a good move but they just had a good sales pitch
