The associates was knowledgeable. However, when certain services are not covered Car Shield could do more for seniors on a fixed income. The adds on the radio always say "your are covered and save."
Not this time for me. I will have to wait and save for the next 3 mos before I could have to have my brakes repaired. Again, that is providing my medications price have not increased for the new year.
Your agent was great. She was very professional and most emphatic to my problem. I deeply appreciate her understanding.
Even though we are sorry to see you go as a customer, we hope you keep us in mind for the future. If there is anything more we can do for you, please give us a call.

Sorry you’re having trouble finding a local repair shop that accepts our coverage. Some shops refuse to take our coverage, however it is not for the reasons you may think. Some shops refuse to take any outside coverage because they want to be in charge of their own prices. There is a nationally recognized labor guide that tells repair facilities what to charge for what services and things like that. But it's up to each individual shop whether or not they want to follow it. With coverage like ours, we keep shops from overcharging our customers and shops don't always like that. We’re happy to stand on our record of servicing over 2 million customers over our 18 years in business. Not to mention our claims department pays out over $5 million in claims every month. If you need help finding other shops in your area, please give us a call.
Sales person was good until I researched competitors. For what carshieldcharged for 1 year I received 5 years coverage matching apples with apples. Same covered parts less deductible.
We apologize if you feel this way. We do go over what is covered with you on the initial phone call and also send you the policy.

This was my first claim so I didn't know what to expect. My thought was " they're not going fix my vehicle, without giving me a hassle or they gonna send me though a lot of red tape". But I didn't have any problems. Custom service walked me through the whole process. They were professional, put my worries to else. I will keep car shield as long as I have a vehicle.

They dont want to pay for anything that goes wrong with my vehicle.

Overall, my experience was great except for the cheap aftermarket parts. They made my mechanic use on my motor mounts just won't cover aftermarket parts, but you were giving aftermarket parts makes no sense.

I thought more should have been paid on my claim, I ended up paying more than the insurer.

Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!
