Unfair
January 13, 2024

I took my 2004 jeep wrangler to my mechanic, because the check engine light was on, i was told that i needed an oxygen sensor for my jeep. And even though my mechanic called car sheild to see if i was covered and car shield said yes, so i went ahead and paid my mechanic in cash and was told thhat car shield would reinburse me for the cost of the oxygen senosor, but car shield told me that i would have to send the bill to another place and then wait for my money. Why is it that i would have to go through all this just to get my money, when the part was covered and already paid for

We are always happy to explain your coverage details and assist in any customer service needs, however. We, at CarShield, have little to no control over the decision of your claims. That is up to the administrator of the account.

It seems that every time that I bring my car in because of something wrong with the engine you don't fix that part so it seems to be false advertising

I suppose I didn't read the fine print and was not expecting to pay more than the 100 dollar deductible.

My 2015 ML350 Mercedes-Benz had engine issues. Carshield worked directly with the service department at the dealership to resolve the problem. I have high praise for the repairs of above $5,000, which were covered.

Cadillac repair
January 5, 2024

Overall I was pleased with the speed of response and authorization. I was disappointed that CarShield would not acknowledge the All Data standard, which almost all repair shops use, to determine time to repair. This resulted in a 2.5 hour labor charge I had to pay in addition to my deductible.
