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.
Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!
