The person I dealt with was excellent and very knowledgeable about what coverage I needed for my car.
From start to finish, everything was exoedited to the max. The estimate, the authorization, the repair work and the rental car.

Had a mechanical issue with my 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 occur unexpectedly. When driving out of town, I suddenly experienced a loss of power and my engine light then came on. When it was safe to pull off the interstate I immediately shut off the engine, and contacted American Car Shield and explained to their representative what was going on with my vehicle. The representative was extremely courteous and concerned not only about the mechanical issue I was experiencing, but also about my current safety. They were very helpful in getting a towing company to tow my vehicle to a reputable automotive repair shop back in my home town, and started all the necessary paperwork to get my claim started with them. The next day I received a call from their representative letting me know what the repair shop initially found wrong with my vehicle, and informing me it was a covered repair and he would be authorizing the repair shop to start the repairs. This was an enormous relief to me. On the 2nd day the repair shop contacted me and informed me, that they had found additional mechanical damage, all related to the initial inspection of my vehicle. They informed me, that they had already contacted Car Shield's authoring inspector and he stated, it did not surprise him and authorized the additional repairs to be completed. I am still awaiting for the repair shop to finish with my vehicle, but feel relieved my vehicle will be professionally repaired and returned to me in a timely manner. So far Car Shield has exceeded my expectations. They are respectfully keeping me informed on the status of the repairs on my vehicle, and confident I will receive my vehicle back professionally repaired, and the only expense I will incur through this whole ordeal will be my deductible on my contract with American Car Shield. I would like to commend all the representatives of Car Shield I have dealt with for their professionalism, sincere concern of my safety and their courtesy.

From getting approval for a repair. Not bad at all. The customer service through the repair was a refreshing. Everyone was very helpful. The lady and gentleman I talked with made sure I had a rental during the repair.

They were in contact with the repair shop and covered the parts I needed to fix my windows and provided us with a rental car. It was a very painless and prompt experience.
David, thank you for your time and review! If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to call us.
Nobody told me that I could get a rental car until the very last young lady that I spoke to. I picked up the rental and then my vehicle was ready two days later. Prior to that I had no vehicle for two weeks.
Anthony, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The contracts do have a section addressed as, Additional Benefits, which highlights the rental accommodations that we provide. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

I cannot find a repair shop that will deal with CarShield. So, to me this has been worthless. I contacted their help line and they were going to check out some things and get back with me the next day. It's been well over a week and the NEXT day has not materialized.

When I called CarShield to check on repair on my car, it was the easiest experience with a warranty company that I had ever had. It was also a great feeling to only pay my co-pay, total. Thanks Car Shield.

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!


William, thanks for the review and welcome to CarShield! Thank you for choosing us! We want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your policy, so please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your coverage.
