CarShield works, sort of.
November 25, 2024

There was some delay with CarShield and the service manager negotiating as to what was covered and what was not. He didn't seem happy about receiving partial payment from me with the promise of the balance from CarShield.

How long does it take to settle up?

If I go ahead and pay, can I send the invoice to you and be reimbursed?

Unforseen out of pocket
November 25, 2024

I don't remember reading or being told the taxes ARE NOT PAID. They don't pay for anything that is not the problem like oil change or coolant when you have a waer pump done. My vehicle also had to have a timing chain replaced because of the water pump, the repair facility had to fight with them. The repair facility had to wait for car shield to send them the parts, couldn't just order them so that the person paying a pricey premium can get their vehicle back in a reasonable time.

Overzealous salesperson
November 24, 2024

The young man gave a presentation after which I told him I was not interested. He gave his pitch again and I had to be a little assertive when started again. I complemented him on sales pitch, then I pointed out I had politely told him I was interested twice and was now on the verge of not being polite. I TOTALLY BLAME HIS SUPERVISOR Or farther UP THE LADDER. I am now considering other options for my vehicle coverage.

Lies, lies and more lies
November 24, 2024

I have been with Car Shield for over a year. It's a great company when you make your payments and don't need their services. I put in a claim with one of the two recommended car repair facilities that were on their website. Car Shield has you pay for the breakdown and investigation of any repair that you need. My portion of that was $1,200, not the $100 deductible that is quoted in their ads. Car Shield also expects the car repair facility to use less than the factory approved parts to repair your vehicle. If you want the factory approved parts, you are expected to pay the difference out of your pocket. You can switch car repair facility, but you are still on the hook for the breakdown. Last night when I went to bed I was told I had to pay $1,200 dollars to get my car back. Today when I received an update the price has grown to $2,200 and it may not be over. My recommendation is that you avoid Car Shield like the plague. As soon as this episode is over I will be a former customer.

Marcus, we apologize for any confusion regarding your claim. After further review, it appears the claims department is waiting for the repair facility to contact them when a certain part has been received to verify pricing. The contract does explain that all parts and labor hours are verified per nationally recognized labor guides. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
