He was very kind and patient.
March 1, 2025

The service was an excellent experience. He was patient and kind. He knew what to do and did it quickly. It was the coldest day and he told me to sit in the truck if I needed to get warm b/c I had my house door key on my car key ring. Very kind, nice and very efficient. Glad I got Car Shield:-)

Hello,
A few days ago, I spoke with a representative about adding another vehicle to my policy. I was not happy with the price she quoted me. I plan to buy a 2001 Jaguar and was told it would cost me $129 to add to my policy. I was also told the coverage would only be for the powertrains. I think the price is too high, and I hope someone reads this comment and calls me to lower the price.

Namon, our coverage plans, and prices vary depending on the age and the mileage of your vehicle. We understand that the cost of parts and labor for vehicle repairs has been steadily increasing across the nation. This can place a significant financial burden on vehicle owners when unexpected breakdowns occur. Our range of policies aims to mitigate this risk by shielding your budget from the potentially high costs associated with these unforeseen events. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service with any questions or concerns, as we are here to help in any way we can.

Not Happy At All
March 1, 2025

Called ahead of making an appointment with the car dealership to make sure that my issue was covered, and the Car Shield rep assured me that it was. Made the appointment, which was two weeks out and arrived. Once the issue was fixed, the dealership rep called Car Shield to get the approval and was denied, so ended up paying the full amount!

John, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this situation may have caused. To expedite the claims process and verify coverage for the necessary repairs, we advise having the Repair Facility 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. If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Department.

Great Experience with CarShield
March 1, 2025

The representatives at CarShield, are well trained. They listen to the customer and they immediately assist and handle the request. I like it that they go above and beyond by contacting the repair shop and setting up a time to show up at the shop. This is very convenient for the customer. Thank You!

Very good warranty company
February 28, 2025
Updated review

Everything always goes smoothly with CarShield. From the repairs they approve to the rental car arrangements. If you need a warranty company for piece of mind, there's none better than CarShield. Get the best policy coverage you can afford, you'll use it sometime down the road for sure.

Best independent car warranty company on the market!

Previous review

I was a little nervous when I chose CarShield to protect my used Jeep. Two employees tgatcI work with, and we are all in the car business, recommended them. After reviewing my options with the sales agent, I settled on etting the Diamond plan. Boy, am I glad I spent a few dollars more. On my first claim, communications were astonishing. Most of the rental car was covered while my car was in the shop. The updates between the CarShield people and the shop, as well as me was phenomenal. We'll done CarShield, I'll recommend your company to many of my clients that I sold used cars to, whose warranty has expired, to hook up with CarShield. Great company, great coverages, great communications. Thanks again!

When I had an GMC repairs option was good and I no problem with service. Now I have a Volkswagen and I am having problems with finding a replica shop that will accept Car Shield. Everyone I contacted shares that Car Shield does not pay and take a long time to decide. I called car shield to get a mechanic shop of their choosing and I still believe the mechanic shop did not go over and beyond to really try to resolve the issue I was having with my car. The repair shop Car Shield chose told me I may need to take it to the Volkswagen dealership. That made me feel you really don't want to work on my car and/or you are afraid you will not get paid by Car Shield. This the first unhappy experience with Car Shield.

Other than the call center to rent a car, everyone else was VERY nice and did inform me what was happening with my car. What was being paid and what I was going to pay.
I think you should furnish a card that we can carry in our wallet.
I had previous work done that I didn't have my paperwork.
