My starter gave out on my 2014 F-150. Once again, CarShield made my repair experience smooth and easy. What would have cost me nearly $500 was just my $100 deductible. So far I've saved thousands on repairs through CarShield.
To my jeep in because it was shutting down while driving. The technician said it was oil housing and oil sensor problems also the crankshaft sensor was failing. You guys said prove it. It didn't fail in the shop but it did three times the next day so. Now I got take it back 3days before Christmas. It shut down trying to merge onto the Pennsylvania Highway which is very dangerous. The crankshaft sensor is cover so why just cover it.
I have had car shield for years and not 1 time have any problems that I've had been covered by car shield, finding a shop that honor car shield is difficult in Memphis and I haven't find a dealer that honor it
Customer service was ok and tried to help find service shops and when one was found they kept my car for 4 days and never even looked at it

You are not the company for me because when I needed your help you left me dry after send you money every month. And I need you to pay for my car to get fix. And to fine out the company didn't take you. You wouldn't not only send my money back you wouldn't even pay half.
No help at all
I though you was a good company to deal with. But I found out different.

I called CarShield for radio/speakers & heat seater not working. I was told some of it would be covered. My mechanic found leakage from power steering & under transmission. He called CarShield reps & explained there was more. CarShield increased what was newly found wrong, and covered "some" costs. I believe Car shield could cover more basics.
I did receive text msgs from CarShield stating what was increased. What I didn't like about with this experience, is nobody called me from Carshield? I feel whoever the mechanics talk to about service costs should AUTOMATICALLY trigger that agent to call me directly afterwards. Seems normal. I need real contact with real people. Txt msgs do not explain anything. Please change this & have "follow up calls" to provide better service.
Also mechanics believe the "REAL COST OF REPAIRS" is outdated on CarShield side. The cost of maintenance has gone up tremendously. CarShield prices are old and outdated!
My initial call directly went very well.
Good choice considering I cannot afford another car and need help with repairs.CarShield really helps calm the nerves.

What do you do when your transmission mounts fail causing your engine to come crashing down while driving?
Call CarShield. They towed my car home that night then once we finally found a transmission shop, they had it towed.
Best part was no money for the tow and lots of help getting the process started.

CarShield refused to cover my A/C compressor repairs because one of the refrigerant hoses coming from compressor was not made of a certain type of material.
I chose CarShield in hopes of relieving some of the cost of repairs; especially in todays economy with price of parts and labor being so expensive. Unless a customer buys a vehicle brand new; they have no control over what parts were installed prior to them owning the vehicle. Very disappointed!

It was easy to cancel one of my vehicles, however, the things I need done on my vehicle right now is not covered. Which makes me feel like maybe I don't need it at all if I have to pay $2000+ out of my own pocket to pay for things I need done on my vehicle right now on top of pay my monthly payment to Carshield. So I am seriously consider canceling my policy.
She was very helpful and kind
I thought it would help with things I needed done with my car.

Needless to say I'm not impressed. I pay every month for coverage. Finally used it after two years. Needed a water pump replacement. The shop told me they refused to pay for all the parts needed to fix my water pump. They also refused to pay for a few other major issues that should not be considered wear/tear parts. I will just pocket the money I pay this company each month.

CarShield is a complete nightmare. I purchased their extended warranty thinking it would provide peace of mind, but it turned out 2 b a total waste of money. First of all, They say u can use a Mechanic of UR choice."THE LIES" If ur Mechanic does not accept Carshield then THE CONTRACT IS USELESS!
When my car broke down and I tried 2 make a claim, they found every possible reason 2 deny it. They claimed that the repair wasn't covered due 2 some obscure clause buried deep n the fine print. It felt like they were actively looking 4 ways 2 avoid paying 4 anything.
To make matters worse, even when they did cover a repair, they only agreed 2 pay a fraction of the cost, leaving me 2 foot a hefty bill. Their coverage is so limited and their customer service is ABYSMAL. I ended up paying MORE out of pocket than if I hadn't bought the warranty at all.
I would strongly advise AGAINST purchasing CarShield. It's a rip-off and they do not stand behind their promises. Save your money and look for a reputable warranty provider instead.

Approximately two weeks ago I received a call from customer support informing me that it was time to reup my service agreement. I was informed that I was able to change my payment method to either 6 months payment and save $30.00 or 1 year and save $60.00 or stay the same (monthly) and not aquire and additional savings. I opted for the 6 months billing. Upon reviewing my CC statement I saw that I was charged BOTH the regular billing AND the 6 months billing as well. I am not a happy camper. I will be calling Car Shield on Monday.
Originally, I was told that Car Shield was a good deal. My experience up until now has been great. Great service in getting my truck repaired when a failure occurred has been excellent. This situation has upset me extremely.

I was having problems paying CarShield due to my debt card being cancelled twice for fraud. Received email regarding payment and the customer service rep was very helpful and courteous helping me resolve problem
problem with making the monthly payment and received a helpful response
Because it was available rate with no increases in amt of payment. I was with another company at the time and their cost was high and increased every 6 months. I wanted my vehicle protected so I was grateful for the CarShield Ad in my email

They paid for my first motor then when that one did the samething as the other with the same code they said they wouldn't pay for another motor even tho the code was the same no difference
They were kinda rude when I asked why they wouldn't replace it since they are the ones who bought the motor that now needs replacing because it did what the first motor did
Because they were suppose to be the best but they are not
