Taking a long time to authorize repairs
December 21, 2024

I use my truck daily, and as of this writing it has been tied up at the shop, in the authorizing procedure, for over two weeks. I was only authorized a rental vehicle for 7 days, leaving me with no truck. I think this firm 7 day rental policy needs to be addressed, for potentially larger, longer repairs. My payments are made on time, I feel I should not have to suffer this inconvenience, based on Car Shield's procedures.

James, it is unfortunate to hear there may be some confusion about your claim. After further review, it appears the claims department has requested certain documentation from the Repair Facility to move forward in the process. If you need further assistance understanding what is needed to resolve the issue, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162.

Transmission Problem
December 21, 2024

During the past summer my F150 Pickup developed a transmission problem. I took it to a shop that accepted Car Shield. I paid my $200 deductible. It was fixed within twenty four hours. It was something to do with a part in the transmission that wasn't properly picking up all the signals from the computer system. The total cost was over $900. So I easily saved better than $700 by having Car Shield. The date of the experience is approximated. I don't currently have the receipt with me. Great Job, Thanks Car Shield!

Marian, we apologize for any confusion regarding the claims process. After further review of your account, it appears you had a previous claim that was paid for and closed. Upon starting a new claim for different parts, that does warrant a new deductible. 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.
