“A Satisfied Customer”

Starr P.
12/19/24

I've been a member of Carshield's Warranty Program for quite a few years. During this time, I've had to do maintenance on several vehicle parts. When claims were called in for approval I must say the dealership handling all repairs have been received positively wit prompt and immediate responses for claim verification. I have been blessed to not have my price portions to be above what I felt was reasonable. All claims are received, quoted a price with repairer, and paid upon completion of work. Yes! I'm a satisfied and pleased customer with CarShield and my repair dealership, Firestone for excellent care and showmanship of service! Thank you CarShield for respecting the needs of your customer, Starr Paul

“The replacement part works perfectly, but I had to pay extra for programming it.”

The cost to replace the faulty touch screen on my car was covered by Car Shield. However, I was not expecting that Car Shield does does not cover the cost off programming it so it will function properly.

I would deny service because of the mileage requirement. When I prove to him that I did meet the milage requirements. I was still denied no reason given.

They hung up on me several times. And then pass me on to someone else who could not hear. I have appealed the denial but have not gotten an answer.

Reason I chose this business:

Because the commercial with ms.Fox sold me on the company.

I'm in good hands with CarShield! I have been a customer for years and have a peace of mind that when something happens to my vehicle CarShield will be there.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose CarShield because of a horrible experience I had in the past with my vehicle and had to pay for the repairs and service out of my own pockets. It was very expensive I must say and I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t allow this to happen again.

Your representative was knowledgeable about a payment plan I wanted to follow. I decided to go with his description of what was being offered and found it easier than what I was paying.

Talking to them was nice and easy lemon squeezy in my opinion. Not once did I get a run around. I asked a question and I got answered quickly. Nothing like that happens much today with some customer services if you ask me..

Reason I chose this business:

My vehicle is over 6 years old now and I plan to keep it until it dissolves into a rust pile. It's paid for and out of warranty. That says it all I think.

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

If I knew I'd have to pay portion of my repairs I would have went with a provider that stands on their contracts, not shucks and jibes to keep from paying the bill.

I have been subscribed to Car Shield for several years now and have had only one claim, but that claim was handled quickly and to my satisfaction.

My previous charge card was compromised so I had to replace it. The service personnel were very friendly and helpful.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Car Shield because of the fair price to ensure that my Mustang continues to run as designed.
