I've delt with "paying bills department" and gave me a lot of grief by giving me half answers to a missing check of $119.99 from Mepco which you departed with them in September when I sent two checks through them. I finally spoke to Chris in customer service and explained that I should call Mepco to account for the missing check and I did. Chris gave me their number. Then I got back to CarShield to fix this problem. I'm still waiting to receive a credit return of my check for $119.99 which was cut on 11/18/23, I believe.

Incorrect information provided
November 27, 2023

I was having issues with the motorized divers side mirror on my 2015 Kia. Before I contacted a repair shop I called Car Shield to make sure that the issue was covered. I was told by the representative I spoke with that the repair would be covered minus my deductible. I made an appointment with the repair shop. Three days later, I contacted the shop because I hadn't heard anything. They told me that they were waiting for approval of the repair from Car Shield. So I called Car Shield again, only to be told by another representative that it was NOT covered. I asked why I was told two different things and I was cut off very sharply by "is there anything else I can do for you today" and a quick hang up.
I don't know who trains your representatives, but there are a couple of things that need to be covered with them. The first is to know their business and not provide customers with false information. Secondly, a little more respect when dealing with the customers who in the end are responsible for their pay.

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.
