Easy process
January 30, 2025

I wasn't sure how this was going to work because you don't know until you need it. My differential needed replacement in my Ford F150. I took it to a mechanic who works with CarShield. He and CarShield basically handled the whole process making it a great experience for me as my truck got repaired.

Paul, It is unfortunate to hear there may be some confusion about your claim. After further review, it appears the claims department has requested certain documentation from the Repair Facility to move forward in the process of paying for the rental. If you need further assistance understanding what is needed to resolve the issue, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162.

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.

Edna, we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. After further it appears we paid the claim for the brakes and we are unsure of the overage you had to pay. The repair facility may have included fees in the final bill that they did not include in your claim. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
