Car shield is AMAZING
September 29, 2024

Carshield is the real deal, and this review is coming from a warranty company skeptic. They paid out my claim, made conversations easy as possible, and helped me realize I was dealing with a crooked shop who was trying to over-charge me. I LOVE CAR shield! Seriously!

Very happy with Car Shield
September 29, 2024

I am very happy with my experience with Car Shield. The mechanic found something else, other than what I took it in for, that needed attention and Car Shield gave authorization right away. I had taken it in because my air conditioner had stopped working and the mechanic found a problem with my transmission too. I had wondered why my car was jerky when I picked up speed. I am quite satisfied with Car Shield and now I have a good working car. Thank you!

Charged for another month after canceling service
September 27, 2024

I realize the timing was very close from when I canceled to when the next payment was due. However, I canceled the service prior to the payment being auto charged to my account. Most companies would have refunded the payment for a service not used. I will leave it alone as the service representative that helped me doesn't make that decision, but I do hope you change your philosophy soon.

Alex, we apologize if there was any confusion regarding your account. After further review, it appears that you called in to cancel after your payment had ran. We only offer refunds within the first 30 days of the coverage, however, your vehicle still has coverage for the month the payment was taken for. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

I'm very disappointed in how Carshild my claim has been handled. It has been one week plus and my car has not been repaired. My seven day rental has inspired. I don't have a car to drive to go to work and I don't know what to do at this time, I'm disappointe.

Varney, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize if there may be some confusion about your claim. After further review, it appears the claims department has been requesting certain documentation from the repair facility in order to move forward in the process. If you need further assistance in understanding what is needed to resolve the issue, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department 1-800-587-4162.

Lousy Service
September 27, 2024

I had a flat tire Saturday and went online to get it changed but no one called back. I then called CarShield and told them the situation and after several times being placed on hold they said they would send someone to change my tire. After about 45 minutes a tow truck pulled to tow my car away. All I needed was a tire change. I had to get help from somewhere else. I am wondering why I pay them for service and get nothing.

It's HOT in El Paso this time of year.
September 26, 2024

My car's air compressor decided it was time to die after 12 years of faithful service on a Thursday afternoon. I drove straight to the same shop I have been using for years, dropped the car off along with the Car Shield Contract paperwork and I was back on the road the next Monday afternoon. Everything went well and I could not be more pleased with the service.

Run around
September 26, 2024

I asked about using my non-profit tax exempt status on my purchase and could never speak to the supervisor who denied it...just got from the person on the phone "They said" you can't use it...that I should call the state local representatives!

Unprofessional!

Elaine, that is unfortunate to hear. After further review of your account, we can verify a Supervisor did reach out to you but the call was not answered. Unfortunately, we have no control over state taxes and regulations. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any further questions or concerns.
