In correct information.
December 2, 2024

I called Car Shield to ask a question about having my brakes replaced. I was told that you would replace brakes. Took my car to the dealership and they replace the brakes for $888.00. They also told me that Car Shield will not pay, I Advise them that I did contact you and was told that you do replace brakes, he called you and was told that you do not pay for this. Why am I paying you, the commercials say, take it to the dealer before it is too late and cost too much. I am a senior and that hurt having to pay that amount out of pocket. This is why I pay you monthly. Very disappointed.

Robert, we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. We recommend having your repair facility call our claims department with their diagnosis to start a claim. After further review, the brake pads and rotors are considered to be routine maintenance, which are parts not listed for coverage. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.
