Started great finding a shop
January 5, 2025

First call to Carshield she was very helpful in finding a shop that would do the necessary work and accept carshield. But after my truck was a week at the shop with no action taken (Avoid Firestone Lakeland, TN!) called carshield back and told them I had to find a new shop and she basically led me to believe I'm on my own. They sure don't mind collecting my monthly premiums.

Rudy, 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.

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

I appreciate CarShield but...
January 24, 2025

I am very satisfied by the claims paid by CarShield but when I signed up I was under the assumption that my portion would be the $75 (now $100) deductable and CarShield would pay the cost for repairs. I've had several repairs e.g. tie rod and ball joint and I've had to pay for almost half of the cost. According to CarShield you can take your vehicle to any mechanic and since I have a Mercedes, I take my vehicle to the Mercedes Service Dept. for all of my maintenance. I will continue keeping CarShield because it does save me money.

January 22, 2025

First day back to work after 3wk Christmas vacation. Car wouldn't start in garage. Called, Responded. Told me what and when to expect relief. Waited. Technician responded & confirmed previous conversation. Auto body shop texted to state eta at my residence. They arrived before time, happy & ready to fix my issue and he did. My experience and problem was resolved in less than 45 minutes during a wintery storm on 1/6/25.
I am totally pleased w the professionalism of Carshield and they are work their weight in Gold

HIGHLY SATISFIED
March 20, 2025

Carshield handled my claim in a timely manner and I didn't have to put any effort into it myself. The dealership and carshield worked together directly and I'm highly satisfied with the end results. This is my very first auto repair claim and I must say I'm truly impressed with excellent customer service. Thank you Carshield for making my experience a pleasant one every step of the way.

Keep going Car shield.
December 29, 2024

I'm not sure why I am receiving this message. I didn't contact Car shield?
I was out of town, on an elk hunt. Didn't have much contact with text, email, or phone calls. So what is going on with my account?
I should only have 1 vehicle. And only one address. Thank you

Disappointed and not understanding
April 25, 2025

I have been with American Auto Shield for quite some time and I have to admit I am very disappointed about the way I have found out that they do business.
First of all they don't protect their customers from being forced to pay excessive fees and over priced parts and labor costs to auto repair shops. They in fact just in my opinion what I am experiencing is they are almost condoning this behavior. Because they are just saying that they are ok to charge whatever price they want. Just saying that we will not pay because the customer will have to pay it or not be able to get their vehicle out of the repair shop. So once they have been established as the repair shop the customer is stuck with NOT THE DEDUCTIBLE ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACT BUT ACCORDING TO THE AMOUNT THAT AMERICAN AUTO SHIELD REFUSED TO PAY AND DROP ON THE LAP OF IT'S CUSTOMERS.
AND THIS IS FLAT OUT WRONG. AND UNFAIR PRACTICES. PERIOD!

Betty, we apologize that you are not satisfied with our services. Our Adjustors work hard to negotiate repair costs with repair shops, but ultimately, we do not have control over the pricing decisions made by each facility. There is a nationally recognized labor guide that provides recommendations on what to charge for certain services, but it is up to each shop to decide whether or not to follow it. 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.

Not covering anything related to emission control makes no sense. And that is even with their best plan. They need to cover essential ECM related repairs if they want remain relevant. Their competitors do cover that segment.
