Patience Needed!
November 22, 2024

The inspector and the insurance adjuster from our Carshield claim took two weeks to get the ball rolling for my car to be processed to get it fixed. They did give us two weeks for a rental car even though we were without our car for a lot longer than that.

Thank God for car shield
November 22, 2024

My jeep didn't pass inspection because of two motor mounts that were broken. Also, it needed an oil pan, radiator, and a condenser for the air conditioner. There was other shop fees and things that they didn't cover everything but my portion was only $798 of a bill that was $3,900. They also covered at 7 Days of my rental car. So glad I got car Shield.

Kia motors declined my car because I could not find a receipt from 2017. So instead of car shield honoring me as a customer of five years, they decided it with Kia motors and declined my kid even though car shield only goes back 12 months. I have canceled my service because it was the point of having a warranty program that only honor is the warranty of Kia and not the contract that I'm paying for previously I gave car shield a great review, but this review supersedes any previous review. I am very disappointed in Carshield. I was going to add to other vehicles to my account but now I will not!

Anndria, after further review, we found that the claim was denied based on the terms and conditions of your contract. While we are sorry to see you leave as a customer, we hope you will consider us again in the future. If there is anything else we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Say you cover certain parts but have too many exclusions. Shame on you for your deceit…..

Mattie, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any confusion regarding your coverage. We send out the contract at the time of sale for review, which goes over the parts that are listed for coverage. We advise having the repair facility call our claims department with the diagnostic to start the claim. 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.

Y'all were able to give me my coverage at the lower cost and not appreciate that we're in our 80s and it's just good to know that if anything does go wrong with our car that it can be taken care of. Thanks again for your help and I hope I never have to use you. Talk to y'all later. Bye-bye.

My Dodge Dart started to make a thumping noise coming from the passenger side of the car. I took the car to a repair shop that I had used before and the mechanic said it could be your brakes so I had them replace the brake pads and rotors. Well that was not the problem, but the mechanic told me that it could be the front wheel bearings and he then told me it would cost me about $1,500 to repair. I didn't have that kind of money to pay out. I was a member of Car Shield so I called and asked the man if I would be covered and he said yes with a co-pay of $100 is all, that saved me $1400.

Outstanding Service.

I have had Car Shield for a couple years. I was thinking that I might have made an error by purchasing their contract. Then, within a sixty day period I had three claims totaling approximately $10,000. The service was unbeatable.

Very Long Process

My repair took almost 3 weeks to get an approval and only 1 week was covered by the rental coverage. Or was not the shop, because I thought it was and when I went and we called together we got different information.
