My SUV was in for repair and I needed a car rental. The repair exceeded the rental car time limit and Car Shield paid the difference. On another occasion Car Shield reimbursed me the difference that I had to pay for a comparable SUV.

It sucks,
June 10, 2025

My co- pay for the service required was supposed to be $100, I ended up paying over $200. No explanation. It also took a day to get approval. Problem was 2019 F250 37K miles. No charging capability to RV. After trouble shooting technicians discovered a bad trailers brake controller. Total coast was just over $540, +\-. Carshield would only pay $332. +\- My co-pay $200 +\- what happened to my $100 co-pay. Not happy not recommending. Just saying.

Ronie, upon further review of your claim, our records indicate that your out-of-pocket cost after the deductible was $49.49. This difference is due to variations between the labor rates used by the repair facility and the rates recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. We suggest contacting our customer service team at 1-800-587-4162 to discuss the pricing on your claim in more detail. We’re here to help clarify any questions you may have.

Promo Letter
June 10, 2025

I received a letter which seemed to indicate that my vehicle was not covered under Car Shield, although I had all the necessary cards and information.]
When I called Customer Service, they told me that it was a promo letter and that it was meant to see if I had another vehicle I wanted to cover. Did not say that anywhere on the letter. Very confusing to say the least.

The Human saved this customer.
June 9, 2025

I chatted first with your AI. Was very unsatisfied with result. Have sometime past and I calmed down. I decided to call and talk to a human. Whole different experience. Your human listened, understood and had a human capacity of compassion. She saved the sale was I was ready to cancel. I think AI is excellent for research not bias. But dealing with your customers AI will do you a disservice.

Water Pump replacement
June 9, 2025

Initially i was under the impression that I was only going to pay a deductible of only $200 but after fully understanding the labor and parts cost which varies from Car Shield and the Dealership standards I was satisfied with paying $841 verses the total amount of $2700 for parts and labor. I'm good with that overall.

Date of experience: May 30, 2025
Alicia G. β€” CarShield Rep

Charles, we're glad to hear that, despite the initial misunderstanding about the deductible, you found value in the coverage and were ultimately satisfied with the savings on your repair. It's great that you were able to avoid paying the full $2,700 out of pocket.

We understand that budgeting decisions can be tough, and it's never easy facing unexpected repair costs. We're here to help provide peace of mind moving forward, and we appreciate you coming back to CarShield. If you ever have questions about your coverage or need support, don't hesitate to reach out.
