November 8, 2024

Call to find out if they would cover a possible car repair. Patiently listen to me and explained that I was covered! Huge relief! They had already replaced my car computer console for $2500. I was concerned the other repair wasn't going be paid for. I was covered! Great!

Cost
November 7, 2024

I had canceled my policy because I could not afford it and I was embarrassed to tell them that was the reason. I started worrying about not having coverage and called back and the sweet young man I dealt with gave me a lower cost!

Car shield fixed up my vehicle because I paid about $600 out of pocket. What was difficult was trying to rent a car to drive. I took a cab instead and paid for it myself.

Know your benefits
November 7, 2024

We put in a claim after our van had trouble with transmission slipping when climbing hills. We had taken out Car Shield 5 months before this happened. It has been two weeks, the garage we took it to has been very good and kept us updated on repairs. However, the process seems long and complicated. Car Shield requiring photos and much information and demands for more information.

Brandy, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. In certain cases, the Administrator may require a tear-down to determine the cause of failure, as we can only cover the parts listed for coverage on your policy. We are always happy to explain your coverage details and go over the claims process with you. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

I really didn't know what to expect as this was my first time filing a claim. I soon found out that everyone was so helpful in walking me through the filing process. From beginning to end I give CarShield an A for their customer service and helping me get my car repaired.

Who accepts Car Shield's Insurance

I had a hard time finding a place that accepts the insurance, then they wanted to go over my whole car instead of just fixing my problem.

My experience using Car Shield.
March 9, 2024
Previous review

Everything was alright after calling Car Shield who gave me options where I could go to get my Jeep worked on because it was running hot. The problem was the car rental no one explained the way it works after telling me I could rent a car until mine was ready and setting up an appointment to pick it up no one said when the time started when Car Shield would start paying.

Good Job
November 4, 2024

In my case once the service manager spoke with a Car Shield agent the process of getting approval for the repair went very smoothly. I appreciate that very much. For once with commercials what has been advertised is true. If that is the case in the future I will likely continue to be a client of Car Shield for the balance of the life of my automobile.
