“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!

A good experience. Just like the commercials. I was shocked when they told me what I have to pay before I can pick up my car. Car shield is no fake.

Reason I chose this business:

The commercial on tv. I took a chance since my warranty about to expire. When my quote came out to fix my budget I said Yes.

It taken a working days to approve my transmission. In the mean time, I'm walking. Hitch. Hiking backwards shouldn't follow it.

The commercials on TV made it seem like it's a very good company.
