Glad we have CarShield
January 4, 2024

We used our CarShield when our auto air-conditioning went out. Some places do not accept Car Shield so it is their loss. We found a shop that accepts Car Shield and they fixed/replaced our air-conditioning and that was about 1.5 years ago. The quotes I got from the dealership were $1200.00 more than we/Car Shield paid. So glad to have had such a great company having our back. Thank you Car Shield!

I called CS and the woman told me to get my car repaired and call the 800# that she gave me. I had my car windows repaired, paid the mechanic, and called the 800#, and was told that they had NOTHING giving me permission to get the work done. The work needed to be done regardless of who paid, your company or me, but I lost money by paying the monthly payments.

I called for assistance for a wrecker or help with a tire going flat.
The lady that answered didn't tell me anything but that a wrecker would be $125.
She said I wasn't covered. Yet all commercials say help with tire problems
Etc

Denied adequate rental benefit
January 11, 2024

My vehicle needed a new transmission. Car sheild's parts vendor sent the incorrect transmission. Transmission was installed, car would run fine for 2 days then completely go bonkers. Eventually to find out that the incorrect trans would not sync with the trans module. My car has been in the shop for over 2 months. Car sheild said I ran out of rental benefits. You would think they would allow further benefits since it was they who sent the wrong part, but no. It's been a real struggle for me, but obviously that doesn't matter.
