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.
That is unfortunate and we’re sorry we couldn't help. We can only cover the parts listed on your policy. Hopefully, we can help with your next repair.
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.
We're happy to hear this. Let us know if you need anything else.
Will see the first time I need. I hope I never need to use, just like the security in the background...

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 already have that protection with one car and when I bought another car, I wanted to get that same protection but they wouldn't offer the full protection with the car over 100,000 miles, so I went to a different company that would
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.
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.
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.
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.

I canceled my credit card for automatic payment, due to fraud. I'm was inundated with calls about my payment. After I returned their call, gave them a new credit card, I still got calls!
Haven't had a ordeal yet didn't need to go to the shop yet other than that great policy
My car broke down 9/8/23. Car had to be towed was on telephone with CarShield over an hour still couldn't get us a tow truck. We had to get our own tow! So why am I paying CarShield all this money for not a damn thing
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!
