3rd Party Issues
December 4, 2023

Keep getting call from Car Shield saying i am back on payments. I have autopay setup with Navy Federal Credit Union. Do not Understand why I get all these Calls. Could be an Expensive Scam on Carshield.

Car Sheild approves a price they will pay, rest is out of your pocket. Depends on mechanics costs and labor.

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.

First Time Experience.
December 4, 2023

Simply, I called Car Shield and notify them of the problem. They gave me the claim number and I presented to the car dealer. The dealership called Car Shield and explained the details of the problem. Car Shield approved and the car was fixed. All I had to do was make one phone call and the problem was resolved.

Not as advertised

Dealer said you would not cover repairs as they were software updates to computer. Thought you covered electronics problems.

Third time, no thanks
December 4, 2023

I had a problem with the ac. I brought the car to an authorized repair shop. They tried to fix it once. Two weeks later I had the same problem. I was told I had to use the same repair shop so I did. After another 3 weeks the problem came back again. Instead of having it repaired a 3rd time I traded the car in for a newer one that is still under mfg warranty.
