Who accepts Car Shield's Insurance
November 6, 2024
Updated review

I had a hard time finding a place that accepts the insurance, then they wanted to go over my whole car instead of just fixing my problem.

My experience using Car Shield.
March 9, 2024
Previous review

Everything was alright after calling Car Shield who gave me options where I could go to get my Jeep worked on because it was running hot. The problem was the car rental no one explained the way it works after telling me I could rent a car until mine was ready and setting up an appointment to pick it up no one said when the time started when Car Shield would start paying.

Good Job
November 4, 2024

In my case once the service manager spoke with a Car Shield agent the process of getting approval for the repair went very smoothly. I appreciate that very much. For once with commercials what has been advertised is true. If that is the case in the future I will likely continue to be a client of Car Shield for the balance of the life of my automobile.

Coverage
November 3, 2024

Was told I had bumper to bumper coverage First time I needed to use my coverage it wasn't covered. I needed work done on my exhaust and was told it wasn't covered So I had to put out $459 for a car I thought had a good warranty.

It happened in one day!
November 3, 2024

Took our car to have air conditioning checked. It was a serious problem, going to be over $1000. I gave my CarShield papers to the young lady who checked us in. She called CarShield and the repairs were done in a few hours with my bill just the deductible of $100. So grateful I had CarShield.

Engine blew up and they only covered $1200 out of the $6000. My shop provided all the necessary details from cause of failure to freeze frame data. They refused to pay the entire claim. Even though all parts were covered under the contract. If you google this company you'll understand why there's a 10 million dollar lawsuit for deceptive ads. No shop or dealership wants to deal with CarShield either. They are difficult to work with and do not pay out. Save yourself and go with another company.

Cody, that is unfortunate to hear that you were not satisfied with our services. After further review, it appears a portion of the claim was denied per the contract terms. However, we did pay for the repair on the potion that was listed for coverage. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Great customer service
November 2, 2024

I filed a claim regarding engine problems. Even though my issue was not covered by my contract, the claims adjuster was very sympathetic to my situation. He pointed out, in the contract, why my repair was not covered. He stated I did everything right, in regards to maintenance on my car, and filing a claim before the car broke down. I had to buy a new car, with a new car warranty. In the event I ever need an extended warranty, I will consider CarShield again for my coverage. I will also recommend CarShield to others. Your customer service was top notch.

They will put language in the contract that will negate fixing your vehicle. Car warranties are not worth the expense and hassle.
