I had taken my car to Kia Service to get my air fixed, as it was blowing hot air. I was then advised several things required fixing on my vehicle. I then advised the servicer I had Car Shield. I called customer service and was advised the plan I had appeared to cover the details in question. Kia service worked with Car Shield and now my car is fixed. Thank you

Out of luck
March 30, 2025

Customer service was very nice, but I was disappointed in the policy coverage or lack of coverage. Exhaust systems are not covered but should be as it is a direct connection and extension of the Engine!

Satisfied customer!
April 14, 2025

When calling CarShield with our request to have our vehicle taken to the shop because the engine light came on, they were very caring and courteous and as I was on the phone they called the business we previously used to make sure they still excepted CarShield and to see if we could set up and appointment and we did. It was very easy, and we took it to the shop the next day and they worked directly with CarShield as needed. No worries. We love their service (CarShield) and they take care of the cost.

Easy to work with
February 7, 2025

When I brought my van into the dealer to look at the issues I was having, he told me that some of it might be taken care of thru CarShield. He called CarShield & within 24 hours I found out that CarShield approved the work to be done. Absolutely no hassles

Once I actually got car shield and started paying for it, I kept hearing negative things about them, denying claims and basically wasting peoples time. There are several dealerships that do not take this warranty and even the dealerships that do take this warranty don't like dealing with them. My car has been sitting in the shop for almost 3 weeks and I've spent over $1000 for a rental just for my claim to be denied, because of a transmission flush that's was done in December of 2024 and my car broke down until March 2025. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy.

Angelica, it is unfortunate to hear we were not able to assist with your recent claim. Upon further review, it was determined that the claim was denied due to the specific exclusions outlined in your contract. After a review of the records and information provided, the claim is denied for the failure being within the Waiting Period, as the records confirmed the issue was present 24 days into coverage. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Neither the sales person or customer service could tell me where in the Car Shield Agreement it states "Unlimited Mileage". I was told that a supervisor would contact me with that answer and I have not heard from anyone.

You Called Us To Renew Warranty
April 30, 2025

Talking to different people each time was extremely frustrating. You called us back to renew after poor help with fixing our vehicle the 1st time. We paid over1200. 00- you paid $390.00!—1st claim—-so we cancelled. You called my husband back a few months later and he decided to give you another try. But you failed the test and didn't help at all— saying 1st it was preexisting, then 2nd- the dealership did a bad job! We would never recommend you to anyone!

Unsatisfied with your service
April 26, 2025

Was dissatisfied with the service you provided,, you wanted me to use a part you supplied, which was inferior to what was needed, and you made me pay the difference. The company which did my repair needed 2 hours for install, you only paid for 1 hour, again I had to pay the difference. We have been paying for your service for years and this is what we get for it. You should mention this in your advertising, which sorry to say, you don't. We have never had to use your service before for a car that is 17years old, because we have always used quality parts, you are misleading your customer base, and your response time to get the service done is not very good. We are thinking seriously about dropping your company.

Item not covered
April 12, 2025

I called & asked if the wiring harness would be covered for a rear tail light & was told it would be covered as an electrical item as long as over $200 which is the deductible. Found today it is not covered.

Waste of my money
April 11, 2025

I pay over two hundred dollars a month for over nine months and when something was finally wrong with my car I was denied my claim because it has to be warped in order for you guys to cover expenses. It's not as cut and dry as you guys make it to be when I signed up. I basically could hace spent all my money and repaired my car with the high deductible I am paying. I don't know if this is the right service for me anymore.

Jessie, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. After further review, it appears the majority of the claim was paid for. There were differences in the labor rates that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim.

Engine repair

It was good that you paid for a portion of the repair. But you should have paid for all of it less my deductible as you advertise. You bargained with my repair facility and did not give them the full price.

Satisfaction
March 24, 2025

I have been slowly more disappointed with Car Shield over the years. I don't feel appreciated as a member. I get different responses on what will be covered. Presently I have a sun roof/mesh issue. The motor of the mesh is not working. Possibly bc the roof is ajar and needs to be fixed.(Tightened) I am sorely disappointed by the response and timely manner to hear back after I have reached out about certain things being covered. The insurance overall is a smart way to go. You But I do plan to shop around comparing prices. Customer service is usually subpar which complicates things as well.

Misinformed
January 17, 2025

My car is being serviced by Liberity Buick in Arizona. I was initially informed that I would get 14 days of a rental, I found out today 1/6/2025 that you responsibility for the rental end Friday, also the part you insisted on will not arrive at the dealer until Friday. The dealer had the part in stock which you refused to pay for. I will not be getting my car back until sometime next week. Needless to say I'm pissed off.
