Long wait times
April 17, 2025

My car has been in the shop for 2 weeks and I still have not heard back regarding if CarShield will cover repairs. Since I'm still waiting for authorization I cannot get a rental car reimbursed. Long delays in claims...

David, we apologize for any delays or confusion regarding your claim. Upon further review, we found that the repair facility did not submit the claim until April 7th, along with the required information. An inspection has since been ordered and completed. We are pleased to inform you that the repair has been authorized! If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162.

Satisfied Customer
April 16, 2025

I called Car Shield to get approval to take my truck to a mechanic because there was a minor vibration in my steering wheel. The problem was with the transmission and Car Shield approved the repairs where in doing comparative shopping most of the customer reviews were dissatisfied because the warranty company would deny costly repairs.

Claude, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this situation may have caused. To verify coverage for the necessary repairs, please advise your chosen repair facility to contact our Claims Department directly. When they call, it's crucial that they provide a comprehensive diagnostic report that includes specific part numbers. This information will allow our claims adjusters to assess the situation accurately and determine the extent of your coverage. Please contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.

Local C. S. representative stated in person had our car and he showed me hole in sidewall. But unfortunately we'd had local inclement weather and his shop had a bunch of water on floor of his shop and he said he was not going to drive a customer's car into his shop until cleared out and perhaps evaluation by an insurance representative. Told him by phone when he could get wheel and tire off and to save HIM time would throw mag wheel and ruined tire into my truck and I would have adjustment done at Firestone Store who tires on that car warranted to. So that is to happen..

Engine repair
April 15, 2025

It was good that you paid for a portion of the repair. But you should have paid for all of it less my deductible as you advertise. You bargained with my repair facility and did not give them the full price.

Sherwin, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. It appears there were discrepancies between the labor rates and part prices used by the repair facility and those recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We would be happy to answer any questions you have and explain the cost breakdown related to your claim. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

We can only cover the parts that are listed for coverage under your contract. The authorization process is vital to identifying the eligible parts and verifying labor hours.

Satisfied customer!
April 14, 2025

When calling CarShield with our request to have our vehicle taken to the shop because the engine light came on, they were very caring and courteous and as I was on the phone they called the business we previously used to make sure they still excepted CarShield and to see if we could set up and appointment and we did. It was very easy, and we took it to the shop the next day and they worked directly with CarShield as needed. No worries. We love their service (CarShield) and they take care of the cost.
