Monthly payment is steep and …
December 2, 2024

Negotiations with service shop is poor. I had serious next to catastrophic bearing failure. I took my truck to the closest shop. After long negotiations between the shop, Car Shield and me I ended up covering several hundred dollars. I check with other preferred shops and they said the same thing, they will not conceded to the low ball offer and are not willing to use CarShields parts. Everyone in the situation was very citrus but I ended up taking the added expense.

Just one phone call with information, and the next thing was instructed to take my car to dealership and explain to service writer. Next day the car was ready. Great experience from both car shield and Nissan dealership.

Transmission would not come out of park. I was able to drive it to my local Honda dealer. They contacted Car Shield and when I picked it up all I owed was my $100 deductible.
