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.

First time with car Shield and I'm totally disappointed with no coverage in repair for my vehicle when I was told from the beginning that it would be.

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.

I was very pleased to experience their efficiency in handling my case. I made one call to them, took my car to my trusted dealer repair shop,(they had no input as to where I should go), rented me a suitable replacement vehicle of my choosing, until my repairs were done. I will renew my contract with them from now to eternity. Thanks, Carshield, for being like my brother!

My overall experience has been good.
I did question an obscure part that was not covered on one vehicle. My other vehicle was covered without question. I am satisfied with my service experience.
I would recommend Car Shield

I had Carshield over a year they are quick to say they will help when your car break down but they don't stand behind their word. They Have Vivca Fox and Ice T promoting Carshield they are full of $#*!!. My daughter needed a motor but they were quick to say it wasn't covered so why in the Hell had I been paying this coverage that they wouldn't cover. I would advise everybody to stay away from this company because they want pay for the big problems barley pay for the small ones. They are always looking for a way out not to pay. I believe I'm going to turn them over the better business bureau. Don't do it don't go with Carshield they want pay. After they didn't pay I dropped their $#*! like a bad habit.
