Good, but……
December 5, 2023

It took almost a month for my car to be repaired, because the service department was waiting on Car Shield to send a part.

We are always happy to explain your coverage details and assist in any customer service needs, however. We, at CarShield, have little to no control over the decision of your claims. That is up to the administrator of the account.

Great help with personal I talked to
December 5, 2023

Personal helped me save money, much appreciated, very nice, listening to my problem and gave great advice to fix it without using your service at this time. It was an easy fix that didn't require much money or time instead of using your service which I'm sure I'm going to have to use with a 2010 Pontiac G6 later.

Carshield is a rip.off
December 12, 2023

I canceled my carshield before the due and they did not cancel it amd they took money our of my account and would not refund my money. I cancel cause I sold the truck a week before my next month payment was due.
I called 4 days before it came out of my account watch them. The will rip u off. Ox car care or endurance are better cheaper

Informative
December 5, 2023

I wanted to drop the service and get another through the dealership and the representative told me the benefits of keeping my service with them, she was very informative and I understood everything she was telling me is what I would get from the company compared to the dealership.

.Very courteous and seemingly knowledgable service.
However, the requested copy of the original contract has not been received.

Commercials are not true
December 11, 2023

Car Shield/American Auto Shield has had my claim since November 7,2023. I am still waiting on approval so I could get a rental to get back and forth to work. I made a reservation for a rental myself because the people who have been giving me rides to work will not be able to starting Thursday thru next week. I'm so disappointed in this company! I work at a company who employs 17.000 individuals, and word of mouth spreads like wildfire because people are asking me about my car because I am a senior citizen plus a minister of the Lord Jesus! I have laid it at God's Throne of Grace!
