We had the transmission replaced in our Jeep Grand Cherokee. The staff was supportive throughout each step of the process, from initial request for help to the rental car and completion of the service.

THIS IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT TO DEAL WITH. FOR ONE THEY DO NOT EXPLAIN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO INFORM THE REPAIR SHOP TO CALL CAR SHIELD FIRST TO RECEIVE A PRIOR AUTHORIZATION BEFORE REPAIR WORK IS COMPLETED. ONCE CONTACT WAS MADE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS (BOTH OF THEM) WERE RUDE AS HELL INFORMING US (THE REPAIR SHOP) THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO UPHOLD THEIR CONTRAT WITH THE CUSTOMER & THEY WOULD NOT BEING US. TOLD US TO JUST REMOVE THE NEW CAR PARTS, PUT THE OLD ONES BACK, & THEY WOULD SEND OUT A THIRD PARTY TO VERIFY PART IS DEFECTIVE & THEN HAVE US REDO THE WORK. THIS COMANY IS A COMPLETE JOKE & A WASTE OF THEIR CUSTOMER TIME & OURS (THE REPAIR SHOP). WE WILL NOT BE SERVICING ANY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS FROM THIS POINT ON & INFORMING OUR CUSTOMERS TO NOT UTILIZE YOUR SO CALLED "SERVICES"...! 0 RATING FROM US!

Rayna, we apologize for any confusion regarding the claims process. We advise our customers at the time of sale to have the shop call the claims number before any work is performed. We also send out the contract, which states on every page, No Claims Will Be Paid Without Prior Authorization. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Impressed by the quick response and support when i had car issues.
However very disappointed so many things are not covered under my plan
I am currently shopping around to see what is available that would better cover when the need arises.
Monthly rates are not cheap

Joan, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears the parts that were needed for the repair were not listed for coverage on your contract. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.

I talk to a representative every month because my payments were set up to be on the 3rd and the 10th. I tell them not to do the 10th as the money won't be there. We set up a plan.

It was a problem and I should have known to not by something without seeing the contract first.
A lot of language in the contract that I did not agree with, that is why I canceled.

Somewhat Happy, Somewhat Sad
November 8, 2024

You can't use your AC without Freon, but yet I had to pay out of pocket for the Freon. Of course I don't mind the service fee, but I think it's unfair. I going to check to see if any other providers have this same policy; so besides the service fee and monthly fee I still had to pay more 😞
