Repair was not done. Had to get another car shop to take car
They cannot schedule it until May 6th. I will bring it to them at that time. Will need rental at that time. Did not use a rental at the Ford dealership, though it was approved. Robisheaux Ford wasn't happy with Car Shield...

Review Process and Inspection
May 6, 2025

The review and inspection was very slow. My vehicle was in the shop for 2-1/2 weeks for a front end repair of ball joints. It may have been the dealership but, either way it took too long.

Don, we apologize for the delays in the claims process. After reviewing your case, we found that the claims department requested an inspection to determine the cause of the failure, which took a week to complete. Additionally, the repair facility needed another week to finish the repairs. Your feedback is very important to us, and we are committed to improving our processes based on your input. Thank you for your understanding.

The representative was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had purchased CarShield for my 2014 Lincoln MKX about a year ago, and now felt it was a good time to purchase a policy for my wife's 2014 Chrysler 300. The initial price was $139.99 a month. After questioning why my Lincoln was $119.00 a month, the representative lowered the monthly cost to $129.99. Then the deductible for the first few months was $1,000.00 but lowered to $250.00 after that. My Lincoln is $100.00. I do like the month to month payments though. While I decided to follow through with the Chrysler, I was somewhat unhappy with the price hike and elevated deductible. The Chrysler only has 39,000 miles as compared to my Lincoln which has 116,000 miles.

Thank you, Charles, for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. Our coverage plans and prices vary based on the age and mileage of your vehicle. Please note that our deductibles have increased due to national inflation. This adjustment was necessary to keep our monthly rates as low as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service team. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

Of the 6 instances that we have needed repairs, you have only partially covered 1 of them. Of the 5,000 parts you cover, seems like you don't cover sensors, modules, turbo intakes, or A/C. You also limit how much you pay for labor. We are beginning to think Ice T lied to us and there must be alot more parts on our car than 5,000 parts. 1 in 6 seems like a failing grade. To your credit you did cover the towing and roadside service.

However, we want to assure you that you have a high level of protection with your existing plan, and we'd be more than happy to provide a detailed breakdown of your coverage and the specific parts that fall under it. This will ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of your contract's benefits. If you have any further questions, concerns, or would like to discuss your coverage in more depth, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated Customer Service team at 1-800-587-4162.

Disappointed
May 3, 2025

Very Disappointed I was told by two representative that the full payment of my tow would be covered. Unfortunately that was incorrect information unbeknownst to me a change was made in 2023 for the plan that I have. I was not expecting to pay out of pocket especially after being reassured that the tow would be covered 100%.

This guy is exceptional! He ordered for my car to be towed and the first tow truck driver was too expensive. He went above and beyond to get a quote that I could afford which was almost $100 cheaper! Thank you! He's truly incredible at making sure we as consumers get the best care and quality experience

Confused
May 3, 2025

My husband lost his wallet, so we had to cancel our credit card. Since you charge the monthly payment to our card I called to explain the situation. After explaining I was told that I could extend the payment date but would do better if I called when we got the new card so the extension could be cancelled. It was hardly clear what was going on, but I was frustrated so just agreed without truly understanding. Now I just hope we get the new cards asap and I can cancel the delayed payment. I feel this was not our fault but we got little help and zero sympathy. T
