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.

Car Sheild contract not honored.
October 30, 2023

I took my Mercedes Benz to the Benz's dealership and to my surprise they wouldn't honor my Car Sheild's contract. Before they even looked at my vehicle, I asked them do they honor Car Sheild. They said No! I was upset because I've been paying a monthly payment for a good while now. I wanted to put my other car on the contract and delete the Benz but decided against it, because when I got home I spoke to a Car Sheild customer service representative and she gave me another place to take my Benz. I'm ok now. I didn't get the name of the Rep. Who helped me, but I'm so glad she did! Thank You for caring!

I was without a car for almost a month. Auto Shield was questioning the fact my transmission failed so soon after the warranty went into effect. In the end, my transmission was replaced and all is well. I was always treated with respect. Without the delay, this would have been a 5 ***** rating and review.
