I liked the Customer Service
February 4, 2024
Updated review

I was only a member for a few months. I never had to use them for any repairs. I sold the car so I had to cancel my policy as I am moving out of the US. I certainly would not hesitate to get a new policy if and when I come back to the US.

Great company to deal with

Previous review

Never had a problem with Car Shield. I didn't need to use my policy but it was reassuring to know the coverage was there for me if I needed it. Was transferred out of the country so I sold my car. When I come back and buy another car I will surely call Car Shield.

The item was the fact that you have to wait 25 days & 500 miles or 40 days & 250 miles as a Senior of 81 years old I don't think I drive that many miles anymore in that time frame meaning for a couple of months I have to pay for 2 companies instead of the one I got away from I don't have that much income

It's good
February 3, 2024

They explained it well and all the commercials I saw and the letter I received in the mail sounded really good I'm glad I was able to join even though I have a deductible to pay first before I can use it but maybe it will still be a long time before I even have to use it

CAR SHIELD IS FOR REAL!
February 3, 2024

My first experience with Car Shield was FANTASTIC!
The Car Shield administrator took over after my first call and stayed on my
Fuel pump problem until it was fixed. I had to be towed, Car Shield was on it!
While fixing my fuel pump issue, a rear differential leak was also discovered.
Car Shield was on it and had it repaired also! I am recommending to all of my family!
They saved me $1000. If you don't have Car Shield, GET IT QUICK!

Item not covered!
February 2, 2024

Well my car engine light came on and I immediately drove to Auto Zone to get a dinostic report done, they informed me that my oil filter was falling out and my censor was stuck in the off opposition. I immediately called my service dealer and got my car put into the shop. AutoZone dinostics was right on the nose. Well as I was told it's only the filter & sensor that is bad don't let them tell you there was more to be done. Well sure enough that's what happend saying thousand dollars of work need to be done. They called shield to see if work would be covered to replace a housing & oil pump, car shield did honor the housing but said no to pump replacement. Yes I was upset at first, but then took it to another mechanic and was told my pump was just fine. So long story short thank you Car Shield for not covering the part and saving our company monies that weren't needed to be spent. Your Savings are our savings too!
