It's ok but I haven't used it yet
March 14, 2024

It was easy to cancel one of my vehicles, however, the things I need done on my vehicle right now is not covered. Which makes me feel like maybe I don't need it at all if I have to pay $2000+ out of my own pocket to pay for things I need done on my vehicle right now on top of pay my monthly payment to Carshield. So I am seriously consider canceling my policy.

I appreciated the service I received from Car Shield (American Auto Shield). I had to pay a little extra than the deductible and the length of time was a little long, but everything else was GREAT! Thank you So Much Car Shield for you professionalism in taking care and replacing my transmission.

First Claim Experience
March 4, 2024

My alternator was bad on my 2011 Cadillac SRX so the car repair dealer called Car Shield to file a claim for me. The dealer was told that Car Shield was going to furnish the new alternator. The new alternator was delivered 4 days later, but it was supposed to have been overnight express mail to the repair dealer.
I was really stressed out for the delay because we were scheduled to leave for Florida for an important appointment. The repair dealer said the Car Shield Claim representative never gave them a chance to match, or beat, the price of the new replacement alternator. They had a new alternator in stock for our car. For this incident, we are somewhat disappointed in the way the first claim we had was handled. I did talk with Car Shield's representative, but we never discussed what the repair dealer offered for the new alternator.

We appreciate CAR SHIELD!
March 4, 2024

Called Car Shield, and explained air conditioner in van was not working, and got us a mechanic very close, within 3.5 miles! Mechanic said he will order parts. Called a few times, left messages, but never heard back! My husband assumed the a c parts are on back order.
Never heard from mechanic, as cooler weather moved in, we will call Car Shield again in April or May,
Before HOT weather.

Help with discontinuing.
March 4, 2024

I explained to the representative that my dealer didn't take the service and they were very understanding to end the service. The representative did assure me that they would reach out to the dealer to reestablish a relationship. I was impressed!
