Thank You!

A little touch and go to begin with, do the two opinions on the fact of where to get it from. Once that was resolved it was, for us any way, clear sailing.

Complicated
March 30, 2025

After avoiding hundreds of calls. I researched car warranties and chose Car Shield. I Contacted car shield and negotiated a contract. The lady said she would mail me the contract and immediately send me an email contract. I received neither. After about a week, I contacted Car Shield and was told by a very efficient employee that you were sorry I had not received anything and that she would start everything immediately. Which she did. I was concerned during that week that I might have been scammed. However, I instructed my card payee to only make one payment. It appears That everything is now as it should be, and I can quit worrying. Thank you

Diesel truck repairs
March 29, 2025

I took my car into a dealership to get it repaired. They got in touch with car shield and ask them to come and look at the track and let them show them what's wrong with the truck. Carcield immediately told them what they would pay, and the dealership went ahead and fixed yet. I zipher had to step in and be a part of what car shield offered. They paid everything and I paid my deductible. It was easily done, and I had no brainfade!
I was so happy that I had car shield
