The company that keeps its word!
February 3, 2025

My check light came on and I quickly got the truck to my mechanic. Car shield came to the rescue again. My timing chain was off and had to be replaced. That is a very large repair. The mechanic was on top of the issue and took great care of me and my truck.

Insurance not needed at this time.
February 3, 2025

The problem was a simple one of which the mechanic did not tighten the bolts on one wheel when rotating the tires which caused the knocking noise. It was repaired without charge.

Florence, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears the parts that were needed for the repair were not listed for coverage on your contract. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.

No charge for diagnostic
February 3, 2025

Although they did not pay for a new battery, they did convince that I shouldn't have to pay for a diagnostic on my car, just for the need of a new battery, something that should have been checked before doing a total diagnostic.

Car rental
February 3, 2025

I would like car shield to know that the gentleman I spoke to at customer service named Carl was extremely helpful getting me a car rental at Enterprise in Iowa City, Iowa. Carl went out of his way to help me and I was well I don't think I've ever used this word before but I was giddy and very comfortable as Carl took complete charge of everything did everything for me and he made it very easy no stress no worries and I wish I could thank him more! I hope car shield realizes and values Carl's dedication.
Thank you,
Corey King

Approval
February 3, 2025

My Mechanic will not work on my car because he has to stay on the phone with a Carshield representative to get the approval to do the repair. Then the Carshield representative will not agree to the amount the book allows to do the job.

Phyllis, after further review, it appears we have authorized the repairs on your vehicle. The contract does explain that all parts and labor hours are verified per nationally recognized labor guides. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

Part ordered by Carshield
February 2, 2025

Carshield was very fast in responding & gave us a call to let us know that it was just the $100 deductible & that if we let them send the part to the Dealership, instead of using the Dealership part that we wouldn't have to pay another $58 for the Dealerships part cost.
We are now just waiting for the part to come into the Dealership.
Thank you

Slow and slower
February 2, 2025

They finally paid but they took too long to approve it and now it seems they are going to take a month to reimburse me for my car rental. They also didn't let the mechanic put on a part that he requested and then I had to pay to have it done a week later when it went bad like the mechanic said it would.

Bob, after further review, it appears the reimbursement was sent out in a check. We advise that it may take up to 20 business days to arrive in the mail, depending on the postal service. If you have any questions regarding your claim, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We are always happy to review your coverage details and explain the claims process.
