What a crock of s*@t!
What a crock of s*@t! First they lost MY paperwork. Then they lost the garages after they verified the issue was, in fact, INTERNAL. 5 months later, second garage, second opinion, same conclussion but when the "adjuster" came out he said they wouldn't cover it because there was too much surface rust under the hood. Of course there was! It was left for 7 months undriven! Plus, it was surface rust. Could have been easily cleaned.
Every lawyer turned down my case. So, I hope your corporate offices all burn down! I'm STILL without my Jeep. I lost my job (as an on the road electrician) and lost my apt.
Thanks you f*@#ing douchebags!
I found out that even though Car Shield claims to pay parts they don't. A major pulley in a gear shaft isn't covered and when asked regarding this you say it isn't listed in the contract. I pay a lot of money to avoid major financial burdens on my car but this extra cost is very frustrating. I can't even be sent information on what is not being paid by Car Shield. I have to contact them and communication is extremely poor
I paid for all repairs and paid for the towing. What good is car shield?--------------------------
Car Shield had come through for me. My BMW car needed Transmission repair, I didn't think Car Shield would cover the cost of the repair because it was a lot of money. I have used a similar service in the past but it turned out to disappoint me. Car Shield delivered exactly what they said they would do. I am so I'm so thankful I purchased their service. I have recommended their service to my friends and coworker.
Car Shield goes to great lengths to deny your claim. CarShield took over a month to review the claim on my truck and then denied coverage because a part that was not covered caused parts that were covered to fail. Now I'm out $******* for a new engine and not a dime from CarShield. They claim to cover your engine and transmission. This is lie. They don't make money by paying out claims. NEVER BUY INSURANCE FROM Car Shield!
After collecting months of premiums they can deny all claims for no reason at all so please don't sign up with carshields or whatever shields 😢I have lost thousands and there's nothing I can do about it! Keep your money and fix your cars at reliable car shops……
The service people were very helpful and answered my questions
I first contacted the dealership on your list, Payne Group. They wanted to keep my car for 2 days, which I could not afford. So, I went to my local Pep Boys, and they gave me an answer within 30 minutes.
Currently, I have two active policies with CarShield for different vehicles which were taken out approximately five years. Recently (last two years) I began having issues, I reached out to confirm my policy coverage. After American Auto Shield confirmed I have convertible top coverage for the motor, they instructed me to have the dealership call for an authorization after the diagnosis. This is when the communication failed and the authorization was denied as not covered on my plan. American Auto Shield denied in error and ultimately it took almost two years to get a partial reimbursement. I was told by a supervisor to call the company who sold me the coverage because American Auto Shield has denied it and they will not change that decision regardless of who I speak with.
Often my experience is negative, rude customer service and transfers to departments that have no one available. A separate incident: Roadside misquoted my towing coverage because they confused the two policies and will only reimbursed a smaller amount of the paid receipt.
I have expressed concerns about service or lack of service, long list of repair shops that do not work on Mercedes, out of pocket expenses for covered parts grossly exceeding my deductible and unresolved claims for covered repairs.
The current CarShield commercials and CarShield sales are not deductible only for covered parts I has not been my personal experience. My out of pocket for covered parts have far exceeded my deductible.
They were fast proffesdional and very helpful u was completely satisfied with the service I received
I've had this coverage since 12/2020 and have never used it till now, still had to fork out 350$ more even with deductible. They didn't pay all the diagnostic and only allowed 5.3 hrs for repairs but it took the shop 7hrs plus to make repairs on what was broken they wouldn't cover the gaskets that had to be taken off. SMH that I put nearly 4,000$ into this coverage and got screwed. Not happy at all.
I bought a used Range Rover and knew that any major repair was going to cost a lot (like $20k for a new engine). I was lucky for 3 years and then the rack and pinion went. The part alone was around $5400! Car shield covered everything.
My experience was satisfactory. Just a delay in getting parts
The enrollment process and coverage information has been excellent. I have not incurred any claims.
My questions were answered quickly I was given a quote and sent a contract of coverage for my vehicle. Thank you.
From the time I left my vehicle at the dealership I was kept informed of what was happening with my vehicle. The representative was in contact with me via text and phone. Process was quick and painless.
I was treating in a timely manner, very professional, and courteous. They were very appreciative.
Misunderstood my policy procedures and needed to get further information.
Quickly explained and to the point.
I'm not sure i
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!
