If you would have bothered to read all of the reviews I've already written before you'd know the c*** I went through. Like I said the last woman was decent and she took care of me. The rest before that were horrible. You need to get some new people working for you. It took me calling 4 times calling to finally get something taken care of and every time I called, I got different quotes, it's ridiculous. The first woman was super nice super sweet. Had all the information? Told me she'd call me back at 6 o'clock. That night to get the Vin number, never bothered. Called the next day. Talked to a horrible man, hung up on him. Called the third time same kind of garbage and finally the fourth time got a decent person. First call was on the sixth last call was on the 13th.
A customer should not have to go through this.

I had requested a tow from Car Shield on January 2, the process was rather quick. My vehicle was towed & serviced by a recommendation Car Shield repair shop. The owner diagnosed & notified me of the issue with my vehicle and had my car back to me the next day. Everything about my experience with Car Shield was seamless.

01/09/25 I had $1100.00 dollars of work done on my vehicle and you all cover nothing. I pay 89.00 dollars a month. 01/14/2025 had to have front end alignment due to the struts on my car last week that cost me $149.00 dollars. Not satisfied at all.

Sue, 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.

Cancellation
January 25, 2025

We purchased an extended warranty from Car Shield for our van after the 100,000 mile mark. After talking with the manufacturer we decided to go with their warranty program because they knew the car's history. When I called Car Shield to cancel the representative was courteous and helpful and handled the matter immediately. However, someone(s) have not gotten the message because I am still receiving texts that I am overdue to pay the monthly charge.

Transmission
January 25, 2025

Lost my transmission in my truck! Got it towed home then to tranny shop then to ford dealership where the work was eventually completed 8 weeks start to finish everything paid for except my deductible 100! I was only allowed a rental for 14 days that's the part that sucked I think something should have been done to make sure I had a vehicle to get to and from work! PS I work out of town! Rentals are not paid for until diagnosis takes place and work begins so while my vehicle sat for weeks at the dealership 3/4 weeks until the work began I had no rental!

Nothing to report due to the fact that my vehicle never broke down, never had any reason to contact them. Made my final monthly payment and sold the vehicle three days later, requested a refund for that payment, still waiting for the answer, as a customer for several years.
