Happy Customer
December 12, 2023

Car Shield paid my local shop over $3000 to repair the broken parts on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My 6 year old car was in perfect condition with only ******* miles on it. A head gasket failed for no apparent reason. I started my extended warranty with Car Shield only 10 months ago. That was a smart move.

Not Consistent
December 19, 2023

On my first call with CS I was calling to find a place that might take my coverage, and they gave me that information. All is good. Then they told me I had to call them(CS/AC?) to get a "pre authorization for a diagnostic for my vehicle which I would have to pay in advance, BUT would get back at the end! One the net call FOUND OUT, THAT WAS NOT TRUE. Did not need approval for diagnostic and DO NOT GET ANY MONEY BACK FOR THE COST OF DIAGNOSTIC,

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.

Disappointed
December 18, 2023

Disappointed and frustrated to hear you don't cover all the cost for parts or labor or whatever the problem, we pay a premium and deductibles to find out we're not covered on everything

I was interested in an extended warranty and got all the right information from the rep. The price was right so I joined. Then, within 2 weeks, I made a different decision and immediately got my payment returned with no problem. I don't know about the service as I never had the chance to use it.
