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.

Van window

Originally, everything was fine. It seems yuo changed some policy and I had to get a ride to go back the next day and sign another paper before you would release funds (which fall short of actual cost in our state) and hence be able to get my vehicle.

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.
