Only paid for parts of the repair
February 1, 2024

Recently the hydraulic line in my car cracked and needed to be replaced. Since the hydraulic system is pressurized, the repair was more involved than the.8 hours that CarShield approved. You can't just replace the line. You need to depressurize the system, remove the old line replace the new line, and repressurize the system. This takes approx 4 hours. We tried to explain the process but the car shield support person wasn't knowledgeable about engine repairs and only knew what a book stated.

I've told Car Shield four different times to stop calling me about homeowners insurance and they continue to do it. They're beginning to be passed.

I heard noise under my dashboard and no air coming in when I turned on the blower. Took it to my dealership and found mice had filled the blower and vents with dog food. It cost me 1000.00 to get it cleaned out. Why am I paying 140.00 a month.

Very good and friendly as always. They carefully listen and give feedback answering all my questions. Follow up to make sure all our needs were met. We have Carshield on both our vehicles which brings peace of mind knowing that in the event we need repairs Carshield will be there for us.

Lousey survey
February 1, 2024

The agents were all professional and helpful. I ultimately decided not to keep the service because I felt the price was too high. No problem got my refund. Then I started getting these surveys 3-4 a day. I don't like surveys. Make them stop.

Easy and Reliable
February 1, 2024

I recently needed to have an engine/transmission mount replaced - a $500 job. I called Car Shield and was told this was a covered repair and my mechanic accepts Car Shield. My only regret is that not all service facilities accept CarShield
