First one
August 15, 2025

New member, did not know what to expect.
First day learning CarSchield's process.
Customer service person(s) put me on
Hold, which was okay for me, however she/him did not have a lot of information to give me because it was the beginning of my claim.
Therefore i communicated with Rainbow
Muffler.
After three days, Rainbow Muffler call me
And stated that I can pick up my jeep.
It was a easy first time experience with
CarShield.

Service Approval
August 15, 2025

I was somewhat surprised to find out I had to get a service diagnosis from a "certified" or "Cooperating" Car Shield service shop. It seems to take a long time to get responses from the service company and a final approval from Car Shield. I have been told by Car Dealerships that Car Shield does not approve their service rates and Car Shield requires the dealership to accept their level of pricing or the request for service at that dealership will be turned down. After paying $87.00 a month for 10 years ($10,440.00) without a single claim, you would just approve the repair. Now that the car is getting older and needs certain repairs, I'm disappointed the process takes so long and is not always in favor of the Car Shield member.

Joe, thank you for sharing your concerns. According to our notes, we have not received any communication from the repair facility regarding your recent concerns or any submitted estimate for review. In order for us to move forward with the claim process, we do need the repair facility to contact us directly with their findings and any necessary documentation.

We understand how frustrating delays can be, especially after your long-standing commitment. Please know that we strive to work with all repair facilities; however, coverage and pricing must align with the terms of your contract. If a dealership declines to work within those guidelines, we’re happy to assist in locating another certified facility in your area.

If you have any questions or need help coordinating next steps, our customer service team is here to assist at 1-800-587-4162. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to address this.

Didn't pay for whole replace engine
August 14, 2025

It should have been completely paid. Subaru dealer told me they said something caused the problem that wasn't true. They only paid part. Disappointed

Charlene, we understand your disappointment and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Upon further review, it appears we will only be issuing a credit for the head gasket, as it was determined to be the initial cause of failure. Please note that any failure resulting from continued operation is excluded under your contract.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department. We are here to help in any way we can, including reviewing the claim details with you and providing a clear explanation of your coverage.
