Credit card "Burp"
November 27, 2024

I got an email that my card issuer declined a charge from Car Shield (monthly auto pay), Car Shield was notified "insufficient funds" while I was notified "incorrect charge, declined". I called card issuer and cancelled the card, then called Car Shield and subscribed for a year of coverage with my debit card. I don't like drama, and try to keep it out of my life. Car shield is a fair and fast coverage plan if you have a "mid life" vehicle, or one just out of factory coverage.

Advertisement is not true.
November 27, 2024

The advertisement states that the cost of a major repair is covered. In the fine print of the contract there are other words that state differently. Other problems lead to my transmission that I did not know. So I had to pay out of pocket. This is false advertisement. I thought it would be completely covered through the contract.

Carol, it is unfortunate to hear that there my have been confusion regarding your coverage. Our coverage plans vary depending on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Therefore, our sales agents place you into the highest level of coverage your vehicle qualifies for. 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.

Common Repair Items Not Covered
November 26, 2024

Two recent repairs were not covered; the engine cooling fan and the thermostat housing. People buy this product to protect against financial calamity, but if the wrong thing breaks the coverage is worthless.

Eric, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears that some of 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.

Replace Transmisson
November 26, 2024

Went well. As for repair. But i had to pay out of my pocket more than the $100.00 deductible. The reason for this according to car shield was that the service center hourly labor charge was more than they would pay. I guess in the future i will need to call car shield to let them tell me what repair shop to go to that will accept their amount of pay per hour.

Inefficient communication
November 26, 2024

The emergency roadside service part is good. But when the repair facility called in the claim you kept saying no claim was called in. Wasted time for me and repair facility to make a lot of redundant class. The misunderstanding also delayed my repair significantly, causing more loss. I spent a few thousands buying the extended warranty and this warranty barely covers anything. Wasted money and time.

Happy Camper

My experience was just as your advertising states. CarShield completely took care of my car with my Dealership. My only input was the copay and telephone calls. Could not have worked out any more perfectly.
