“Great Experience Every Time”

Jim L.
12/31/24

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.

“You saved a dollar at my expense”

Dana F.

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.

The operator was very good at her job, getting all my information and payment method in a very short amount of time.

Reason I chose this business:

I already had a contract with Car Shield, I was just trying to renew it so my vehicle could stay covered.

My car was at the gas station and wouldn't start I called Car shield. They sent roadside assistance and towed my car home. Cashied told me and suggested some places that take csrshield.

I'm looking for another service to fix my vehicle it's home now. I don't like to have to pay for roadside assistance again. It's Christmas time.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I pay for their services.

When you call them every thing has to be approved. Before you can even use anything which is bull shot

People are nice. But still not Satisfied.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought it was good. But it's not what you think once they send you the contact.

Car Shield worked very quickly with my mechanic. I experienced no delay in getting my work done on time and properly.

Reason I chose this business:

I just decided to give it a go mainly because of all the success claims I saw on TV. I have not been disappointed yet, though I have only used Car Shield service once with a problem under $400, and been a customer for 4 years.

Everything was done and could have been faster since it took over 3 hours for the dealer to get the authorization.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed a warranty that covers costly items since my factory and extended warranty had expired

Your agent was great. She was very professional and most emphatic to my problem. I deeply appreciate her understanding.

I did have two major car problems while I had your insurance. My biggest problem with your insurance was it didn’t cover all the problems with my vehicle and I had to pay a lot of out of pocket expenses

Reason I chose this business:

Car shield came highly recommended

I did not have to worry about any service on my vehicle. Car shield worked with my service department smoothly and kept me informed.

Contact was great and working with the service department was no problem for me or them. The service department was happy to hear I had Car Shield.

Reason I chose this business:

Because of the premium amounts and great coverage and no increase after making a claim.
