My experience with car shield has been GREAT, they have helped me keep my car on the road.it is definitely worth having, I have recommended to family and friends to get it. They have saved me a couple of times when I needed my car fixed and didn't have the money to come out my pocket with. It is one of the best investments I've invested in.

Learning the algorithm.

2 months out of 8 paid, no claims, and "Administration " cancelled policy, claiming a discrepancy on car fax. 5 calls to 3 companies and "Administration can not and will not disclose discrepancy or policies used to terminate.
Truth: my vehicle continues to go up in value, and potential repair costs and I no longer meet the risk threshold, so termination before they have to pay out any repairs.

Great customer service
March 8, 2024

I called CarShield for radio/speakers & heat seater not working. I was told some of it would be covered. My mechanic found leakage from power steering & under transmission. He called CarShield reps & explained there was more. CarShield increased what was newly found wrong, and covered "some" costs. I believe Car shield could cover more basics.
I did receive text msgs from CarShield stating what was increased. What I didn't like about with this experience, is nobody called me from Carshield? I feel whoever the mechanics talk to about service costs should AUTOMATICALLY trigger that agent to call me directly afterwards. Seems normal. I need real contact with real people. Txt msgs do not explain anything. Please change this & have "follow up calls" to provide better service.
Also mechanics believe the "REAL COST OF REPAIRS" is outdated on CarShield side. The cost of maintenance has gone up tremendously. CarShield prices are old and outdated!

We can go anywhere to get our car fixed and only pay for $100 deductible. If the car has to go into the shop, we can have a rental car till its fixed.
