Radiator failed
November 7, 2023

They covered the repair minus my deductible and that was great but don't have a problem to far from home or the towing cost will kill you. I called a friend to trailer my Jeep home.

I bought a second vehicle a few months ago. I recently sold the second vehicle, therefore canceling my policy on the second vehicle.
I have had CarShield on my first vehicle since last year and plan to keep it on that vehicle.

The shop car shield said to use
November 14, 2023

I used a shop recommended by car shield and they robbed me. The work was NOT done and now I'm still here with a car that needs not only the repairs needed when they recommended the shop but thousands of dollars more.

Sorry you’re having trouble finding a local repair shop that accepts our coverage. Some shops refuse to take our coverage, however it is not for the reasons you may think. Some shops refuse to take any outside coverage because they want to be in charge of their own prices. There is a nationally recognized labor guide that tells repair facilities what to charge for what services and things like that. But it's up to each individual shop whether or not they want to follow it. With coverage like ours, we keep shops from overcharging our customers and shops don't always like that. We’re happy to stand on our record of servicing over 2 million customers over our 18 years in business. Not to mention our claims department pays out over $5 million in claims every month. If you need help finding other shops in your area, please give us a call.

Very bad 1st experience
November 14, 2023

When I went for smog Ck in California for my car registration I was told my engine lights were on. Then I was told I needed a Diagnostic Ck to determine cause of engine lights with cost of $177. I have Car Shield I stated so I called Car Shield, shared my delema & was referred to a mechanic who agreed to work with Car Shied. Car Shield's representative's last statement was "be sure the mechanic has your contract # & the phone # for Car Shields Claims. Service was performed, minor reset was performed, merchant called claims office & claim was denied! If my car needed involved repairs the claim would have been paid? Could not get smogged without issue being resolved……issue resolved…….claim not paid after being referred to the merchant. So sorry I ever reached out to Car Shield & 1st time merchant experience speaks badly for Car Shield. Also when I asked to speak to Claims supervisor he declined…….very, very poor customer service as well

That is unfortunate and we’re sorry we couldn't help. We can only cover the parts listed on your policy. Hopefully, we can help with your next repair.
