After three years with my car shield policy on my Ford fusion, I added my Subaru Crosstrek and three months after having my cross trek the hybrid motor needed to be rebuilt and because of a bulletin from 2017 the claim was denied and I'm sure with this scam company Anytime you submit a claim for anything they're gonna come up with a reason as to why it's not covered under the policy even though you have the highest policy covering everything possible I canceled my two policies. I would never recommend Carshield and their TV advertisements are an absolute abuse of customer relations. When we first submitted the claim it took 10 days of back-and-forth before we could open up a claim they wouldn't submit the parts list from me the customer they had to speak with the dealership and the Subaru dealership in Tucson Arizona. Service department were very laid-back and lazy and did nothing in an attempt to get the job Which would have netted them an $8000 service you think they would've worked the little harder. The service manager was less responsive than the front desk people I would never recommend service at Tucson Subaru either. It's really a shame to say that customer service has really been lost, in this new generation

We apologize if you feel this way. We do go over what is covered with you on the initial phone call and also send you the policy.

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.

Very dissatisfied with car shield
November 28, 2023

My car has been in the shop for over three weeks. No decision on my claim has been decided by the adjuster. I have a rental car that I'm currently paying. As of November 20 first, no decision has been made.
The repair shop has sent photos and estimate two different times the last time being,
November 8th.

Dead battery issues before wintertime.
November 20, 2023

My battery was dead and the vehicle could not be put into neutral. I called CarShield for assistance to get a tow to the dealership. The attendant was friendly and helpful. We found a tow company that could move the vehicle on a flatbed.

They get a bad reputation for not paying once you are a member. But i can attest that they covered almost $6k worth of repairs to my BMW with almost no question. Handled right thru the repair shop.
