“Piece of mind”

Jeffrey B.

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.

Had some questions about what is covered for some specific parts. Both parts are covered but reading the contract, not specific enough.

See note above.

Reason I chose this business:

Price was right at the time compared to another competitor.

Great customer service and start to finish follow up for repairs, rental car and shop performance, most definitely what I was told for service and repairs, time and parts.

First and second issues we’re fully covered by CarShield and I have never been more satisfied with a customer service and repairs and car rental. Thank you so much.

Reason I chose this business:

My Chrysler 300,2014 with 32K was a great set-up For coverage with car-shield, now that I have had two covered issues with this service, I have been completely satisfied with this service and have recommended to neighbors and friends and will use this in the future on all my cars

I did not want to continue with the date of my initial contract. Before I joined Car Shield I ask the service representative would I be able to change it and she assured me that I would.

I needed to change by billing date before the next payment was completed. The customer service person did so without any problems.

Reason I chose this business:

TV advertisements and the age of my car.

Car shield would not pay for parts or labor. I was just very unhappy with having to pay for insurance and still have to pay for the parts and repairs myself.

From a friend

I needed to make a change to my payment information and they were very helpful and professional.

They were extremely helpful and professional in changing my payment information without my needing to do it online.

Reason I chose this business:

After seeing several ads on TV, we decided it was time to get the peace of mind given the age of our crossover.

Tom Wood Porsche did not except Car Shield you are considered as a third party and they told me I would need to try and get the money from you, in other words they want the money from the customer they don't want to deal with the 3rd party.

I need to speak to a person and explain it to them.

They don't do what they say they are going to do and people answering the phones are rude and disrespectful. The company doesn't care about the consumer and left a family with no vehicle

Will not recommend anyone get warranty with CarShield. I have been keeping up with my maintenance on my car for every little thing. And they try to come up with any reason not to get your car fixed yes. And I feel like they are doing this since I am almost at the end of my warranty they were refusing to fix anything on my car and are coming up with every type of excuse to not fixing my car. They will steady transfer you to different people not lit speaks to the manager say that they are the highest person up knowing that there's somebody else higher than them. If I could I would've never got warranty with them and I would've kept my money because NAV wasted more money dealing with them then I would've had pocket. They refuse to take anything from my mom and pop shop they only want big-name companies receipts. They will try to say that your receipt is fake even though it has everything on there even though it is a real receipt that you got from your mechanic. They tried to say their my receipt was fake and I had never got any service done on my car even though I kept up with everything.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t waste your money they will find anyway not to fix your vehicle

Products used:
None of the warranty
