My truck's engine light came on and I had it towed to the repair facility. After 30 days of jumping through hoops, the engine repair isn't covered because no one can determine why the engine block cracked.

DON'T TRUST THEM
May 30, 2024

I have paid over 2400 dollars to this company thinking I was safe. A LIE! They tell you that you can take your car to the place of your choice but what they don't say is the place of your choice don't accept their coverage. No real reputable company want to be bother with them because of the hassle they put them through about part's and inspection of the work the company may have performed or need to perfom. I understand why they don't want to bother. I'm a client and the way Becky, Darnell(?) Of the customer service treated me was terrible. While on the phone with Darnell it was so much noise that my ears was hurting. I even recorded the noise. Never once was an apology made or that I'll call you back because of the noise. Kinda glad he didn't because I probably wouldn't have got a call back. I have never ever encounter a business as such. I'm not a complainer but the false advertising from this company is unacceptable. They wanted me to take my 2017 Caddy to Midas. I had a very bad experience with Midas and hope I won't ever have to use them to repair any vehicle of mine. I am so so so so disappointed. It's like they just took my money to pay for someone else's repair. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. DON'T LET THEIR ADVERTISEMENT BITE YOUR POCKETS.

Eval System
May 24, 2024

Engine check light came on
Had the code read at Autozone. Checked under the hood and found a disconnect ed part of the Eval system
The plastic stem off end of
What I think was called the eval canister. Put a rubber sleeve over end of hose and broken stem of canister
Reset everything and engine check light goes off for a month or more. Light comes back on? Checked the clamp and it had vibrated loose. Tightened it, reset, light goes off for another 4 plus weeks
When light back on called Car Shield wanted it fixed. Lady I spoke with reviewed my contract. Saw I'd purchased the extra Eval Package. Gave her the Autozone coverage and she said I was covered. Called and took vehicle to 4 dealer or repair shops. When I said I had Car Shield they all laughed and said CS was the worst. Don't want to pay and if they do pay pull tricks to delay payment and U have to waste time calling and following up. Finally found repair shop to check it. They did a half $#*! check, they said it was leaky hose and said they would called CS. I asked if the Tech saw my clamp and tape on the broken canister stem. No report on that. I asked to talk to the Tech and told he was busy. Said he would call me
Never heard back. Some A-Hole from CS called the next day or so and denied claim. Said my package didn't cover hoses. The eval system doesn't have standard rubber hoses. They are a main part of the Eval system. All these dealers and repair shops. Car Shield in my opinion is the worst.

Not happy
May 23, 2024

I have the powertrain Gold. It cover my fuel system, my fuel tank sensor went bad, and was told they would have to remove the gas tank to replace it. That was called into CarShield was told it doesn't fall under my warranty, I am not happy. Thinking about dropping this. Why do I have powertrain Gold when they don't cover my fuel system.

Se tomaron 50 días para aprobar la compra de una transmisión no les importa si te quedas sin carro o no tu tienes que pagar por tu transportación todo el tiempo...
Nadie se preocupa realmente por lo que necesitas mandaron una transmisión que no servía.
Tube que pedir un préstamo para otro carro. Ahora estoy más endeudado que antes. El ajustador tardo 3 semanas en ver la transmisión. No muy molesto yo tengo pagando 4 años por el servicio y a la hora del problema ustedes abaros no sueltan el dinero para arreglar el problema pronto.

My claim got rejected because my car had a branded title, and I hadn't paid the excess fee to Carshield for that. When I bought the vehicle, I specifically inquired about its title, assuming that a clear title meant the car was clean. It was a shock to learn from an American Auto Shield representative that a clear title doesn't guarantee a clean history, and that my car had been in an accident. I questioned why Carshield hadn't checked this before making the contract with me. Their representative admitted they only recently started checking CARFAX reports before agreeing to contracts, implying they wouldn't have checked if not for my situation. The representative tried to deny that my situation prompted this change, but I could sense otherwise. I'm glad my case prompted them to start checking CARFAX reports, but it's unfair that my claim was denied due to something they could have prevented by obtaining the right information before signing the contract.

Horrible

Disappointed
May 17, 2024

My repairs weren't covered by Car Shield. I don't know if I'm satisfied with the outcome or dissatisfied at this point. If my next repair which according to Car Shield is supposed to be covered isn't covered then I may have to re-evaluate going with them.

Not what it seems
May 16, 2024

Very disappointed with the out come of my out of pocket payment. Here I am paying monthly payments and when it comes time for my car car to be fixed, car shield doesn't want to pay the majority of bill. Question, what are the monthly payments for if we as customers are going to be short changed in the end.

My experience with CarShield was top-notch. Each representative I spoke to provided me with the necessary information to guide me through my issue or concern. All were well trained. Top training shows that CarShield will take care of you as they take care of your vehicle. They did not leave me in doubt.
