No Porsche mechanics in network
March 11, 2024

I recently purchased a 2002 Porsche Boxster S. I wanted to purchase coverage for this car because repairs can be pricey. The first time I tried to use the coverage I was unable to find a mechanic in my area that was in the network. After repeated attempts I canceled the coverage.

Pleasantly surprised
March 1, 2024

After having our local Ford dealer tell us they don't accept CarShield due to being slow in paying and hard to work with I was worried about what I had gotten myself into. I subsequently had taken the vehicle a few months later to a local repair shop for a fairly minor issue. I told them that I had CarShield and they told me that they didn't think that they would pay for the repair. I contact CarShield myself and was told that I would be covered and to just have the shop contact them directly. I advised the shop what I had been told and they then called CarShield. Shortly later I received a message from CarShield that they were processing the claim. It was only a very short time after that when I received a message that they had approved the repair. I picked up the vehicle that afternoon after paying my portion of the repair. I think the shop was still a little leary as they reminded me that I would be responsible for whatever CarShield didn't pay. However, it wasn't long after that when I received a message that Car Shield had paid the shop for my repair. The process was actually pretty easy and smooth. Certainly much better that I had been led to believe by the service people.

I wanted to make sure I had the correct coverages. My rep was very thorough (even though he repeated the coverages several times unnecessarily).

Availability of service locations
March 11, 2024

When my covered vehicle needs a repair, noone in my area, repair shops or dealerships want to do work on my vehicle because they say CarShield doesn't pay them promptly. Had a $2800.00 repair recently because exhaust problem wasn't covered under CarShield.

The unapproved repairs took over a week for the adjuster's decision! This was very disturbing and inconvenient!

Un satisfied customer
March 11, 2024

Had vehicle in shop waiting to hear back about the results for repair. Car shield kept asking for more diagnostic from dealership which resulted in the same information being sent back and forth for two weeks. End result I waited two weeks to find out repairs were not going to be handled by car shield. No one from car shield kept me informed about any of the processes through out so I kept having to call and call to speak to customer service who kept saying they were waiting to hear back from dealership that had my vehicle. The dealership was in contact with me daily and informed me that car shield was receiving the same information I was being emailed. They weren't waiting like stated
