Peace of mind
December 31, 2024

I bought this extended warranty while I had less than 30,000 miles on my truck. The price was right and the service is exemplary. I had a great time dealing with the company, and am looking forward to the peace that having this warranty will give me for the next 5 years

Subaru Outback transmission replacement
December 31, 2024

My 2015 Subaru Outback developed a loud "whining" noise and I had the belt checked and replaced the wheel hub bearings but the noise was still there. I friend that works as a mechanic told me it was most likely the transmission and I should have it checked out at a shop. That's when I called CarShield customer service and they found a repair shop in my rural area that takes the CarShield insurance.
It was diagnosed that the transmission was bad and needed replacement. CarShield insurance covered a rental car for 2 weeks, while my car was in the repair shop. CarShield also covered the transmission replacemwnt minus my deductible. Our car now drives smoothly again with no more loud noises. I will admit I was skeptical about CarShield at first but so far it has been a blessing to have and CarShield has really saved the day for me and my family. I couldn't be happier with CarShield and the warranty I purchased.

Great Experience Every Time
December 31, 2024

My starter gave out on my 2014 F-150. Once again, CarShield made my repair experience smooth and easy. What would have cost me nearly $500 was just my $100 deductible. So far I've saved thousands on repairs through CarShield.

They are trying to find a way not to pay for covered. The service department tried on 4 different occasions to contact customer service and didn't get a response. The service department worked with me to cover some of the cost that you all denied.

You saved a dollar at my expense
December 30, 2024

To my jeep in because it was shutting down while driving. The technician said it was oil housing and oil sensor problems also the crankshaft sensor was failing. You guys said prove it. It didn't fail in the shop but it did three times the next day so. Now I got take it back 3days before Christmas. It shut down trying to merge onto the Pennsylvania Highway which is very dangerous. The crankshaft sensor is cover so why just cover it.

Dana, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The Administrator does require a cause of failure, as we can only cover the parts that are listed for coverage per your contract. Please contact our Customer Service Department for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

My recent auto repair did not qualify for CarShield assistance. However, I did need to use Carshield to have my car towed to the repair shop, and that experience went smoothly.

Keep going Car shield.
December 30, 2024

I'm not sure why I am receiving this message. I didn't contact Car shield?
I was out of town, on an elk hunt. Didn't have much contact with text, email, or phone calls. So what is going on with my account?
I should only have 1 vehicle. And only one address. Thank you
