Coverage denied
January 9, 2024

My vehicle coverage was denied at the dealer I went to but according to my policy and the reps it was included in my policy. How do I get reimbursed for my claim?

Constantly calling Car Shield
January 2, 2024

Pep boys put on hold all the time. Not get through. Day 3 I called. Again in Day 4,5,6,7. Reps would not call shop. Shop cannot spend 45 to an hour to talk to someone. We have to get automated and process electronically for the Shops. 8 days to long. It took myself a rep on the line at the shop to get the ball rolling on day 7th, while I had them on speaker. They breakdown of what Car Shield pays is never clear on the receipts or in contract. They don't pay for a lot of things. But graceful I had them.

I've been a customer now for 2 months and yet haven't received my contract in the mail from this company and I'm becoming very disappointed in these type of services when I'm making my payments on time.

Jury still out on repair cost.
January 9, 2024

Purchased a service contract based upon reputation and interaction with personnel of car shield. 2019 dodge grand caravan lost reverse on transmission and filed a claim. Ended up at Aamco and when contacted by shop, was informed I would have an almost $800 deductible instead of the $100 I had thought I had. Have an issue with this but behind 8 ball as far as getting repaired. No satisfied but not pissed off either.

Not what you think!:-(
January 9, 2024

Service location provided by CarShield representative wouldn't honor the coverage so had to pay out of pocket. Follow up with CarShield resulted on less then 1/4 reimbursement of what had to be paid to repair the vehicle.
