Weird noises
January 23, 2025

Car made a weird noise like a drill going off. Brought to car dealer and they found out what it was, called car shield and they approved it right away. As they were working on it found something else wrong, called car shield and again approved it, plus set me up with a rental. Glad I have them.

Not satisfied
January 23, 2025

1. All of my claims were not approved and paid for. 2. CarShield only paid 69% of the cost to replace my vehicle bad starter. 3. My vehicle was at the dealership for over two days after the repair was completed waiting for the dealership to be paid by CarShield before the dealership can release my vehicle.

Walter, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. After further review of your account, it appears there are some parts that were not listed for coverage under your contract. Furthermore, it appears 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. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

I received a replacement engine *******. On the other hand, the odometer still showed 155,000. I applied, I paid I monthly premiums. I replaced I alternator, without carsheild. Did not know, they covered that. Someone told I apply, for reimbursement. They denied it. Then, stated;" the monthly bill Auh increase, but the part still covered ". I received 2 20 dollar copays of twenty dollar emails, with no pay option. I did not get reimbursed. So, ion know if I should invest or not,after 90 days or more. But okay

Adriniadora, we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. After further review, it appears there were issues with getting the correct odometer reading at the time of sale, which led to a change to the policy we can offer. Our coverage plans vary depending on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns regarding your coverage. We are here to assist in any way we can.

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
