Great customer service
April 23, 2025

I was extremely satisfied with the customer service. The reason I marked them at a 4 is because they didn't pay the full price the auto shop was charging for the part and didn't pay full price of labor. I was still only out a couple hundred dollars plus my deductible of $100. I was actually happy to pay that. Overall experience was positive.

Totally wonderful.
April 22, 2025

With so so many scams around, so many people said I was being scammed by getting car shield. I am a trusting person! Got car shield in 2023 with the hopes I would never need it!
But when I did recently, I have been treated with kindness, courtesy and, professionalism. My claim was covered and my vehicle is being repaired!
Car shield just got sooo many more customers from others just waiting for my report!

Repair#2
April 21, 2025

First repair was one year ago and 3 years after starting car shield they replaced the rack and pinion in my 2017 equinox. 4,500 repair I paid $100 and experience was seamless The second covered repair was an exhaust manifold which was covered under the warranty and seamlessly repaired by the Chevrolet dealer and cost me $100. The uncovered repair would have been over $1,800. I had to exhaust system inspected and repaired but the substandard repair shop failed to see that the exhaust manifold was cracked and we kept getting a smell inside the cabin lo and behold it was a cracked manifold. Hairline cracked which got larger as the vehicle heated and cooled. Again, just like they say on the commercials.

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.

I have never had a problem with my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel; however when the check engine light came on I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered that I had CarShield. CarShield made the entire process from start to finish completely pleasant. I elected to have the original part for my car to be replaced. The representative said that they would cover a portion of the claim and I had to pay the rest: I didn't know I could do that. I am so glad that I have CarShield. Thanks again CarShield.

Had something wrong with my ventilation on the driver's side. There was a motor that was defective. All I had to do submit a claim and the car repair facility did the rest. It saved me a couple of thousand dollars.
