Easy peasy!
December 13, 2024

I had taken my car to my regular garage only to find out that they did not take car shield. So I called car shield and they sent a tow truck to take it to another place that was really close to my house. My car was fixed the next day. I did have to pay for a couple of things that the car shield did not cover, but it was still way cheaper than would it would have cost me without it. And no charge for the tow.

Professional All The Way
December 12, 2024
Updated review

I found everyone I spoke to to be professional and helpful. I received a rental car without any issues, and the staff coordinated with the dealership on my behalf. My transmission was successfully repaired, and when I picked up my car, I only needed to pay the deductible. The only concern I have is that the transmission was refurbished rather than new.

Disappointing
November 17, 2023
Previous review

I called about my window motor which they said they would cover; I was also told if the dealer kept my car for more than 4 hours I could get a rental. Well, they kept my car overnight to diagnose it, and when I called about the rental I was told, oh, that's 4 hours or more of labor. Crazy and information I should have had up front. Turns out it wasn't the motor but the master switch on the drivers side and carshield conveniently does not cover that part. I'm thinking of canceling and putting that money in a high-yield savings account. I've had car shield for over 3 yrs and of the 3 times I tried to use it they only covered one instance, a windshild wiper motor.
