Appreciate good customer service.
February 20, 2025

I am glad that I purchased a CarShield warranty after my factory warranty expired, because it has saved me from paying thousands of dollars in repairs for my van. I have mentioned to family and friends about getting a warranty with CarShield.

Luisa, we apologize for any confusion regarding the claims process. In some instances, it may be necessary for the Administrator to request a complete teardown to accurately diagnose the source of the malfunction. This is due to the fact that our warranty policy only covers the specific components explicitly listed in your coverage agreement. If you have any inquiries or concerns regarding this process or the terms of your coverage, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Department for further clarification and support.

Not happy with Ciocca of Flemington!
February 19, 2025

It's not Car Shield that did anything wrong, it's Ciocca that told me they do not except Car Shield anymore after I had the Truck looked at. Crazy! The thing is they knew that I had Car Shield months ago!

Misrepresentation
February 19, 2025

You tell people one thing in order for them to buy your product and then once you get it in order to cancel it cost money and you say it doesn't and you don't get to use who you want to use because real dealers use OEM parts not manufactured or other parts

Windy, it does not cost anything to cancel our month-to-month policies. After further review, it looks like you canceled after your due date. All future payments have stopped but your coverage will remain active until 2/21/25. It is at the Repair Facility's discretion whether or not they choose to work with us, we will work with any ASE Certified repair facilities. We do send out the contract at the time of sale and address on the sales call that at the Administrator's election, repair or replacement of covered parts will be made with parts of like kind and quality, including but not limited to new, used or remanufactured. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Surprised Once Again
February 19, 2025

Well, finding something leaking in my driveway had me take my car immediately to the dealership. That same day, Car Shield called me to say that they spoke with my service advisor and that they OK'd the parts I needed, and that I had a $100.00 deductible. Then they offered me to get a rental car! I told them I could use my husbands car. However, it was great that they offered since I hadn't ev en thought that far!

I went out to start my car after a few days of 10 degree and below weather. The week before it was also that cold but the car started right up. The mechanic I called said I probably needed a new starter. I called CarShield for the first time. They sent a tow truck. The driver charged the battery for a few minutes and then started the car up. I drove it to get a new battery and the car's been great since then.

I seem to be wasting my money on my extended warranty. I filed my first claim this week after paying premiums for over a year. The repair facility indicated that CarShield was asking as many questions as they could to find a reason to deny the claim. Finally when they got to "Corrosion" of the part; they deemed it was enough to deny. This was a part normally covered but since there was corrosion on a part on the underside of a vehicle driven in the northern states in the winter.

Michael, upon further review, it was determined that the claim was denied due to the specific exclusions outlined in your contract. We want to assure you that you have a high level of protection with your existing plan. To help you better understand your coverage and benefits, we would be happy to provide you with a detailed breakdown of your policy. This breakdown will clearly outline what is covered, what is excluded, and any limitations that may apply. We encourage you to contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any questions or concerns. Our representatives are available to assist you and provide the information you need to make informed decisions about your coverage.

Not at all happy with Car Shield
February 18, 2025

I enrolled in Car Shield in October of 2022, pumping $130 per month into this company. Never had a claim until recently when my clutch burned out and the car was totally disabled. CarShield would not cover this, but when I asked for a rental car for the time the car had to be in the shop, they refused.

After contacting CarShields everything went smoothly until I was told to press 1 for English, that's when everything went south. What should have taken 5 minutes took about a half hour because the person on the other end of my call couldn't speak English. That was very frustrating. I remained calm and we made it through. Why do you ask to press 1 for English when you don't get a person who speaks English.
