Transmission and oil pump was handled with my mechanic without incident! Rental cars were available as I was without my car from 7 days to 14 days. Thanks so much Carshield!

Not happy with this company! They are refusing to pay the mechanic. Premium customer service is a joke. They're saying the rates of shop is not in their price range. Very disappointed. Will not recommend them to anyone! False promises and low expectations of how they actually speak to us over the phone. Very rude! Misleading and not trustworthy.

Carshield is worthless
March 2, 2025

I have had Carshield for 3 years,I just put in a claim for $5500 and was denied, our transmission would not go into reverse. What the hell is the problem, not as advertised. Everyone I can talk to will know of this sham.

Leon, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears the part that was needed for the repair was 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 ended up not using my car shield because the mechanic could not find a problem with my vehicle. But, when I thought I would need it, I called and the person I spoke with was very polite and helpful. It was a simple process.

Almost cancelled, glad I didn't.
December 23, 2024

A couple of months after I signed up, I almost cancelled. Car shield reps worked with me to find the right coverage that better suited my needs that fit with my budget. I questioned my decision from time to time, all the way up until my transmission AND differential both gave out simultaneously. Over $8,000.00 that they covered. I had to pay almost $450.00 for the stuff that wasn't covered like fluids. Saved my A**! As long as you read your contract and know what to expect, Car Shield is a very good service.

You saved a dollar at my expense
December 30, 2024

To my jeep in because it was shutting down while driving. The technician said it was oil housing and oil sensor problems also the crankshaft sensor was failing. You guys said prove it. It didn't fail in the shop but it did three times the next day so. Now I got take it back 3days before Christmas. It shut down trying to merge onto the Pennsylvania Highway which is very dangerous. The crankshaft sensor is cover so why just cover it.

Dana, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The Administrator does require a cause of failure, as we can only cover the parts that are listed for coverage per your contract. Please contact our Customer Service Department for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Excellent customer service
December 31, 2024

Recently, our escape encountered a transmission issue. Our auto repair facility collaborated with Carsheil to replace the transmission. The Carsheil representative ensured that we were kept in the loop.

I reached out to customer service a few times to rent a car and extend it. Whenever I needed help, the customer service representatives were always friendly and helpful. They made sure to find me the resources I needed. Excellent customer service. It was a wonderful experience and I am happy with the services I received.

This is the first experience I've had with this type of insurance. The Representatives could not have been nicer, taking the time to lay out what needed to be done, details to submit, then going over the mechanic bill item by item to be sure it was understandable before approving the payout. My mechanics also remarked about what a pleasure it was to work with good reps who know what's what and are responsive and easy to understand. No hidden agendas, all right up front. A pleasure.
