Devon's happiness with car shield
August 30, 2025

I had a radiator explosively lose all it's water. We had car towed to Boves to work on it. Car shield paid for the radiator and a new air conditioning condenser. I knew that they would not pay for the cooling fan that caused the overheating problem so we had money saved up the pay everything car shield would not cover. We are very happy. The car does not overheat and the air conditioning is working great now.

Bad For business
August 28, 2025

I have a Mercedes s 550 that I brought to a dealership Mercedes dealership and they diagnosed my car with a bad axles on my warranty, it says axles are covered. Well they're not covering my axles or my timing cover gasket that is also covered underneath my car shield warranty Also Mercedes Benz dealership told me it is a safety hazard about my axles. I hope you guys can resolve this because two garages said my axles were bad. I also supplied all my service wrecks from the dealership everything's on time so I hope you guys can fix the situation because otherwise that is bad for business.
