Skeptical.
December 16, 2024

I wanted to take my vehicle to the dealership, and they told me no problem. But they also said they would send the parts the next morning to the dealership and they would cover all expenses, less my deductible. Wow! I opted for the G.M parts and they told me I was responsible for the shop price. I was happy with that, and proceeded with the work. I later submitted a rental car bill and I was told they would reimburse me. I love it when companies do what they tell you. 5 stars!

It is as it says call them first. My a/c stop working. Called them to find out who tacks Car Shield in my town. They talk to the shop for me set up a time to bring it in it was the blower moter. All I had to pay for was my deductible. Saved me all most $300.00. Thanks Car Shield.

Not such an easy process.
December 16, 2024

Dealing with customer service was good.
Having to deal with the claims department was very overwhelming for me because each person gave me a different explanation.
While my car was in the shop being worked on.
I asked several times for the adjuster to contact me.
Was told he would and never received a call back.

Car shield is an ok company.
December 15, 2024

My 2004 Chevy 3500 deisel was in the shop for about 3 weeks because of injecter problems! Ron at the repair shop was really having a hard time with Car Shield! I would call in to check on progress and he was really not happy because he was on hold for like 4 hours more than once waiting to get permission to replace all the injectors. In the end Car Shield only replaced one new one and had rest rebuilt I guess. I do not know if he would work on my truck again? I see you are running ads all the time on TV. I hope Car Shield has changed and if I have a problem with my truck it will not take 3 weeks to get it repaired? Do not remember when that was?
