I had comfort knowing I had a safety net.
February 14, 2025

I had been a customer with Car Shield for five year. Two weeks ago my transmission crashed and they stood by their contract and I am in the process of repairing my car.

I had a transmission issue while on vacation. I used AAMCO transmission repair. AAMCO assisted in filing my claim.
Once the claim was submitted Car Shield worked hard to help expedite my repair so I could return home.
I'm not sure if I got lucky because both my Car Shield adjuster and the AAMCO repair shop were both great.
Thank you Car Shield.

Not satisfied
January 22, 2025

1. All of my claims were not approved and paid for. 2. CarShield only paid 69% of the cost to replace my vehicle bad starter. 3. My vehicle was at the dealership for over two days after the repair was completed waiting for the dealership to be paid by CarShield before the dealership can release my vehicle.

Walter, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. After further review of your account, it appears there are some parts that were not listed for coverage under your contract. Furthermore, it appears there were differences in the labor rates and part prices that the repair facility used and what was recommended 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.

Stay Covered
March 24, 2025

The service plan information/purchase phase was quick and professional. I feel secure having mechanical repair coverage for my vehicle. Hope I don't need it but it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Not a professional on first day of call in
April 16, 2025

On day one, call in, ask for help and check if cover. My impression from person in contact, I was cover. Got all info and pass it forward. Time pay for work, told not cover.

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.

Paid some... yes, but it wasn't easy 😒
March 24, 2025

My 2015 Toyota Rav 4 liftgate wasn't closing properly. It needed struts and liftgate sensor. Carshield paid most of the cost for the struts but refused to pay for the sensor, leaving me to pay $300 for the struts+ $700 for the sensor instead of the $100 they misleadingly advertise. 😒

Gary, upon further review, it appears there is an approved authorization for both rear power tailgate support/struts. We do not see anything on the claim regarding a sensor. If there is an issue with the sensor, please have the Repair Facility send in the documentation so we can review that information. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Horrible All the way around
January 27, 2025

HORRIBLE. From the time we initiated the claim to payment our service was horrible. Our transmission in our 2015 Tahoe went out. THIS WAS WHY WE BOUGHT THE INSURANCE! It we teeth pulling to get you to approve, when we took it to a Certified Transmission place. You wanted to use USED PARTS, when that is not what I was paying for. Then you requested multiple quotes, when the quotes were sent multiple times with pictures. Multiple customer service reps handled our account and not one could explain why this was being handled so poorly. Not one returned a call when asked. I still had to pay $800 out of pocket. I'm asking myself why should I keep this insurance now! I have another vehicle insurance by you guys and I will be looking for other options due to this horrible experience

Angela, it is unfortunate to hear that you are not satisfied with our services. After further review, there were differences in the labor rates and part prices that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide that led to the out-of-pocket costs in the claim. We are always willing to go over your contract with you, explain the claim process, and address any issues. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department with any questions or concerns you may have. We are here to assist in any way we can.

Periodic approval
March 8, 2025

Since this was only the second time I had to request service the only thing I was very disapointed with was the "nit-pickin" when it came to the interpretation of the verbage in the contract for the clarification of electrical approval/authorization regardomg original parts versus insralled parts.

Best Purchase I've ever made!😎
January 6, 2025

From start to finish the customer service is amazing! Every step of the way I was contacted to be updated on the progress of my claim. The fact that I can keep my car on the road and insured against troubles that would otherwise keep me sidelined and looking to purchase another vehicle is more than worth it IMO. If you haven't already, BUY THIS COVERAGE! You won't regret it, I promise you! There's a reason they're the number one auto protection company in the U.S. if your vehicle breaks down, towing is provided. While your car is in the shop, rental vehicle is available with certain plans. And best of all you're not stuck with a high repair bill. I consider myself the unofficial spokes person for Car Shield because I spread the word to everyone I come in contact with. IT'S SO WORTH IT!
