Because CarShield sent an inspector out to inspect the repairs in advance, my Repair Shop couldn't start the repairs timely. Then CarShield would not tell them how much of the bill CarShield would pay until I had approved my portion! My portion was incorrect because Belts & Hoses that were covered with oil, weren't included in CarShield's estimate! The owner of my Repair Shop said they had never had a warranty company do that! They said they only dealt with CarShield for me because I was a repeat customer and wouldn't deal with CarShield under any other circumstances! I am dropping CarShield! They are awful! I brought my car to the Repair Shop 8 days ago and it wasn't ready till today!

Lexus just stopped in traffic
April 20, 2025

Lexus simply quit while driving to work. Able to pull over and call AAA wrecker to tow to dealership.
All they could find was a failed 10A circuit breaker.

Totally Recommend!
April 19, 2025

Took care of my needs as stated in my contract. Very professional in explaining what is covered and not covered in layman terms.
Worked in a timely manner with my Repair shop so I could get my car back in a reasonable time frame.
I would totally recommend to someone who needs extra protection when their warranty expires.

I didn't have any claims but I did contact customer support when I canceled. The only problem I had was that charged for the next month and told me that I couldn't get a refund.

Bob, we apologize for any confusion concerning the payment on your account. After reviewing the situation, we found that a previous payment arrangement was made for the same day you canceled your account. Please note, that we require at least 24 hours' notice before the due date to stop a payment from processing. While we are sorry to see you leave as a customer, we hope you will consider us in the future.

Limited information.
April 19, 2025

They advertise you can use any repair shop but very few honor CarShield. I had to drive over 50 miles to get my info center repaired. Several times I requested a list of shops in my area bet never received it even though they said "I'll email it to you right away" I DO NOT recommend CarShield.

CarShield Experience
April 18, 2025

The staff is professional, courteous, and efficient. However, there are times when a specialist adjuster is necessary, which can extend the repair process. I understand the need to properly adjust the claim, but it is difficult when you only have one car. Overall, I have recommended this service to people I know and would do so again.

Milton, it is unfortunate to hear that there seems to be confusion regarding your towing benefits, as well as, your deductible. Upon further review, your contract states on the Declaration page that the Roadside Benefits Maximum is $125 per occurrence. We applied the deductible rate per your contract. The additional out-of-pocket costs are the differences between what the repair facility charges for parts and labor and what is suggested 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. We are here to assist you in any way we can.
