Worth it for peace of mind
November 28, 2024

I had to use my warranty one time and overall the experience was good. They did want to use aftermarket parts for the repair which I understand but I chose to pay extra to get OEM parts installed. It did give me a peace of mind on my Ram which turned out to be a less reliable vehicle than I desired. I ultimately ended up selling it otherwise I would have kept Car Shield.

First time using carshield
November 28, 2024

My experience went much smoother than expected. Although the entire repair was not covered due to labor cost and dealer parts.

Credit card "Burp"
November 27, 2024

I got an email that my card issuer declined a charge from Car Shield (monthly auto pay), Car Shield was notified "insufficient funds" while I was notified "incorrect charge, declined". I called card issuer and cancelled the card, then called Car Shield and subscribed for a year of coverage with my debit card. I don't like drama, and try to keep it out of my life. Car shield is a fair and fast coverage plan if you have a "mid life" vehicle, or one just out of factory coverage.
