The experience was excellent as long as the easy-to-follow process on informing Car Shield of the repair necessary they will take care of you as long as follow the warranty stipulations. There are very respectful of your repair needs and as promised will work with an approved repair facility. It went very smoothly and had my vehicle repaired in a reasonable

Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet
September 11, 2023

My transmission went out on my vehicle. I took it to the dealership who contacted Car Shield and they were very prompt in sending someone to check on the claim. My vehicle was approved for repair and they were prompt in paying the dealership. Very professional experience.

Not satisfied with the service.
September 29, 2023

One time I had to send my car to the dealership and the tow truck company told me I had to pay $80.00 out of my pocket. So I had to use my auto insurance coverage to get my car towed to the dealership. And after the repair was completed I had to $75.00 more plus the $100.00 deductable.

Very dissatisfied
September 13, 2023

They are #2, Endure is #1! They only use their parts, never explained! Rental car, you can't get one only for shipping if one day, repair 1 day. So one day rental even if your car is in longer in line for repairs! Even if the repair place needs longer to repair as many are on the repair list for them worthless! They are a 3rd part warranty program, Endure is not! 3rd party is not good! You can't cancel ahead of time, so you have to call back 3 days before your payment is due! I would not recommend them! Call Endure, it might be a bit more but in the end you are coming out way ahead!

Terrible with communication
September 23, 2023

Initially my jeep went in for the timing chain to be changed. I did receive a call from carshield letting me know what the cost was and what I had to pay out of pocket. That was the only time I heard from them. I had to constantly call them and my mechanic to find out what was going on with my jeep. My mechanic let me know that I needed an engine and how much it would be. I called carshield to see if they were aware of this and they told me they were aware gave me pricing but never asked if I was okay with the out of pocket cost. The mechanic already ordered parts and took the old engine out before I approved anything. When it was time for me to pick up my vehicle I called carshield and my mechanic to make sure we were all on one accord with the price. Carshield gave me the total but didn't include the taxes I had to pay which caused confusion between the mechanic and I. Communication was horrible. I had to constantly call in to find out what was going on with my vehicle.
