“Piece of mind”

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!

“Dissatisfied as dissatisfied can be.”

Chester P.

After many years (7) of being with your company and very little repair claims; now that a major repair is needed you'll have dropped the ball with a lot of red tape and inquisitions. I've paid my premiums like clockwork every month. I'm not at all happy with your service or professionalism towards fixing my car, you'll looking for the cheap route to solve my issues. Cheapness seems to be your best interest and not satisfying a seven (7) year customer!

These lying scan People Is a big rip off. I made payments Of $89.99 every month on my warranty with car shield, Unfortunately I had problems with my vehicle after making about 6 to 7 payments. I took my vehicle to the Honda dealership. I got them to check it out and come to find out there were problems with my motor. Some of the problems I had was part of what car shield was suppose to cover on their warranty, missed fire cylinders, and Other things that I don't remember. Carshild told the Honda Service department that they had to take my motor out of my vehicle so that they (carshield) could inspect my vehicle to see if The warranty cover the problem that was going on with my vehicle. I had just had a oil change 2 weeks before my vehicle started acting up, so carshield did their bull crap inspection, and they said that the oil was black and had not been changed for a long time; I knew that was a lie, Therefore they were not going to fix the vehicle because of a lack of maintenance says carshield. Now I'm stuck with the $6000 debt that I have to pay Before I can get my vehicle back. I'd like to say to Ice T and any other celebrity that's lying to promote carshield's bull crap wwarranty, Stop lying for these people at car shield, You're only making yourself look bad. I would like to say to carshield you people oh you people will get what you deserve, Because what goes around comes back around be careful how you do people Because it will get done back to you but worse. Take it from a person that fear God. The only reason I added the star, because it would not let me submit until I did add a star.

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.

I had the Gold since Sept 2022, AC went out the start of this summer. Took my Denali to GMC. They called me the next day and told me that Car Shield was going to look for a used AC, the dealer said "we don't install used parts So Car Shield hung up on them". Dealership told me So I called Car Shield and they told me the same thing. I told them that I'm not putting a used compressor on my $80K truck and they hung up on me!
TOTAL RIPOFF! I canceled 3 months ago and they still text telling me I'm 3 months behind! Pure STUPIDITY!
