The young man gave a presentation after which I told him I was not interested. He gave his pitch again and I had to be a little assertive when started again. I complemented him on sales pitch, then I pointed out I had politely told him I was interested twice and was now on the verge of not being polite. I TOTALLY BLAME HIS SUPERVISOR Or farther UP THE LADDER. I am now considering other options for my vehicle coverage.

I have been with Car Shield for over a year. It's a great company when you make your payments and don't need their services. I put in a claim with one of the two recommended car repair facilities that were on their website. Car Shield has you pay for the breakdown and investigation of any repair that you need. My portion of that was $1,200, not the $100 deductible that is quoted in their ads. Car Shield also expects the car repair facility to use less than the factory approved parts to repair your vehicle. If you want the factory approved parts, you are expected to pay the difference out of your pocket. You can switch car repair facility, but you are still on the hook for the breakdown. Last night when I went to bed I was told I had to pay $1,200 dollars to get my car back. Today when I received an update the price has grown to $2,200 and it may not be over. My recommendation is that you avoid Car Shield like the plague. As soon as this episode is over I will be a former customer.
Marcus, we apologize for any confusion regarding your claim. After further review, it appears the claims department is waiting for the repair facility to contact them when a certain part has been received to verify pricing. The contract does explain that all parts and labor hours are verified per nationally recognized labor guides. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any 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!
