Could offer more options
January 12, 2024

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.

Scam

Wanted to send the shop substandard replacement parts and not pay for services.

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.

January 18, 2024

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.

Reliable
January 11, 2024

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.
