Outstanding Service!
February 7, 2025

I just got my vehicle back from the shop that was estimated over $16,000 in repairs only thinking the cause of the check engine light was for one particular part. Come to find out, there were several things that needed to be repaired that caused the main issue to be fixed. After it was said and done, I walked away with only having to pay $2800 out of pocket vice the $16,000. Thanks Car Shield!

Unfair
February 6, 2025

When i first called car shield to get a boost for my 2004 jeep, i waited 2 hours for nothing. Nobody even came. I had to call the next day for a tow truck to tow my car to my mechanic, this isn`t right, it`s a good thing that it wasn`t raining or that i wasn`t on highway

I once loved my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee but, it's lustre has faded over time mostly because it's not a dependable vehicle. Thank goodness for CarShield. They've been there on several occasions and have saved me thousands of dollars in repair costs. This time they even picked up the cost of a rental while my car was in the shop. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the market for an extended warranty.

Extremely slow process
February 6, 2025

I can't get why it's taking too long to get the necessary parts or lack of communication between the parts department, wrong parts being sent to repair shop, poor communication with customer overall throughout the entire process has been totally unacceptable.

Somewhat pleased
February 6, 2025

They only covered about 75% of the expenses. According to the contract, it fell short of what should have been covered after the deductible.

CarShield preformed well.
February 6, 2025

I had a transmission problem with one of my cars. I notified CarSThe television Adshield, and they told me to take it to a reputable repair shop. ~ The repair shop was authorized to make the repair, and the process went smoothly.

Do not use car shield.
February 6, 2025

Car shield is a scam. I signed on with car shield in order to offset the little things on my car that insurance didn't cover. When my car ended up having transmission issues it took forever for them to get me into a shop. They finally told me to go to a place and the shop and car shield had zero communication with each other and my car sat there for almost 2 months. I was on the phone with the mechanic and car shield nonstop because they failed to communicate with each other. I was doing more work than car shield. Eventually I pulled my car out of that garage and brought it to a different car shield affiliated shop. When I finally got it to the other shop, I ended up paying for my own diagnostics and almost paying 100% of the repair cost for the issue with my car. Car shield didn't do anything except draw this process out for almost 3 months. I ended up paying more with car shield. Not only did I pay for my own replacements, but I also had to pay them a monthly fee for nothing.
Long story short car shield is a scam. You might as well just save the money that you'd pay them each month and just stash it away so you can fix your car if it breaks down. In the end you will be paying way more with car shield.

David, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any confusion during the claims process. We have no say in the repair facilities processes, it is their decision if they choose to work with us or not. After further review, 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. We are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of the cost regarding your claim. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
