Frustrating and Bottom of Contract
December 26, 2023

Frustrated that Claims department took 4-5 days to make a decision on claim, which I decided to rent a vehicle to prevent further damage. They only cover/reimburse a set $100 / per day, no taxes or anything, yet we know companies charge taxes! WHY, do they not cover/reimburse and take so long to make decisions? Then again, it'll be customers failed to do this or that.

We do apologize you feel this way. We at CarShield have little to no control over the claims, shop process, or the administrators' decision. We are, however, always willing to explain the coverage details or help you with any of your Customer Service needs.

Car Repair 2023
December 15, 2023

My wheel bearings were damaged and my water pump was cracked and leaking. My dealership called Car Shield the work was approved the parts were ordered and once the parts came in two days later the repair was complete. All that I needed to do was give verbal authorization to pay my dealership. A couple of hours later I got a e-mail that the payment was made and that I could come and get my vehicle.
It is running like a brand new suv.
Thank you Car Shield.

First Claim
December 15, 2023

First time using CarShield. Wife's Jeep was experiencing the Auto Start/Stop warning light while driving to work and on highway experienced sputtering from engine and could not go above 55mph. As she pulled into her place of work, the check engine light came on. They were very prompt and detailed when we had it towed to a dealership that they worked with and were in constant communication with me with updates.

Dishonest representation of service
December 22, 2023

I called in to see if part was cover and gave the GM part number and the name of the part was assured the part was covered but they said the service repair shop had to made the request after their diagnostic. I had them do that only for the shop to be told the part wasn't covered. After my time and money spent, I called and asked for supervisor to call to explain to me why? Never received a call.

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.

No not get Car Shield
December 22, 2023

Every time which is 3 times in the last 6 years, the person that answers the phone tells me the issue is covered on my plan and then some one calls me back and says it is not covered and they tell me I have the best coverage. I am canceling Car Shield

This was my second claim. First claim was on my windshield wiper motor. The second claim was for my transmission. They paid for my car rental as well as having my transmission REBUILT. I had to pay $73.00 for labor. I believe Car Shield should pay for ALL of the labor charges. However, I do APPRECIATE Car Shield!
