Payment question
February 15, 2025

My automatic payments had been accidentally stopped. Your associate and I straightened the matter out and my automatic payments setup is continuing. Your associate was very nice, kind, and helpful.

Phone call
January 4, 2025

I was called twice about my bill not gone through my credit card when I had a email from my bank showing that went through OK.
So by the third time I had to tell the operator to recheck because it was paid.
So I don't know why I was called when it was paid on time so looks like one department didn't know what the other department was doing

Brenda, 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.

Horrible!
March 12, 2025

This coverage is essentially useless! The plan only covered $99 out of my $700 bill. I had to end up coming out of pocket for the remainder. I will never recommend this to anyone! Totally disappointed.

Tommy, we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. After further review of your account, it appears there were differences in the labor rates and part prices that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

Perseverance
March 4, 2025

I've had several conversations with people at Car Shield in the past few days and I have been very stressed out! I re-read my book to make sure that heater repair was covered and it was just crazy to me that myself and my mechanic were getting a big run around. Finally the last phone call I made apparently made the difference and the repair is being done

It was okay.
March 10, 2025

I did not attempt to get a rental because I had limited funds. I didn't realize that it would take 4 days to complete my repairs. Luckily I had a friend from church who let me use their extra car for transportation.
Overall it was a good experience.

What coverage
March 6, 2025

What coverage covers more, what I'm paying for doesn't cover anything other than just the engine! I had an EVact light come on and was told it isn't covered and it's going to cost me almost $600 to get it fixed!

I called and explained what I was going to have done with my car and your rep said it was covered-when I got to the car place-the guy had to check for himself-he told me later the part wasn't covered and they said I never called Car Shield-I did call and don't like to be challenged

Coverage

They are trying to find a way not to pay for covered. The service department tried on 4 different occasions to contact customer service and didn't get a response. The service department worked with me to cover some of the cost that you all denied.

Carshield Warranty
January 18, 2025

I am overall satisfied with my warranty. However I had to go to different repair facilities to find a shop that honors Carshield. I was also told by a representative that they would cover the tye rod on the front tight passenger side but then it was not covered. Additionallly it took longer then I was told for the authorization. Also I never recieived a phone callback from Carshield and the repair facility finally called me after some time. Overall experience was Okay. BZ

When I experienced trouble with my car, I got a Dianostic check from my routine servicer. It was determined it needed extensive work. I contacted CarShield and coverage was determined. They located a service provider. Work was done in a timely manner. Servicer was very friendly and the work handled very professionally.
