We monitor reviews for authenticity
My engine was seized up. Never, ever leaked a drop of oil. I spilled some down the front of the engine while doing my last oil change. Carshield sent out some "mechanic" to the shop where my car was and his "review" was that all the oil had leaked out of the engine due to "oil leaks". Again, the car never leaked a drop in 5 years but they were looking for any reason to deny my claim. They want me to pay thousands for a teardown of the engine...and regardless of what they find, they will simply use the "excuse" of all the oil "leaked out" and it was my fault. Absurd and simply trying to scam the customer. The shop I brought it to is first rate and they warned me on day one that Carshield would try something like this! Beware!
We, at CarShield, have little to no control over the decision of your claims. That is up to the administrator of the account. 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 nice and friendly staff thank for nice people on line
We are pleased to hear our team was able to answer any questions you had. Thank you again for your time.
My engine light came on so I called Car Shield they didn't cover it. I took my car to several repair shops and the BMW dealership and they don't take car shield. So I wasted $99.00 a month for 4 months and no one accepted Car Shield and don't think you're going to be reimbursed cause you're not
I was pleased with getting everything set up. Only thing I had a small issue with the mileage I reported was different from the mileage on the paperwork I received in the mail. I look forward for everything going smoothly in the future in the events I have to use Carshield.
Engine Replacement was not covered I am disabled and left without transport to appointments
So far, I haven't had to engage with CarShield. Hopefully, if I ever need CarShield, the experience will be one I welcome and will celebrate.
I was misled and uninformed until after I paid two months and waited for 500 miles to pass, then told
The repairs I needed would not be covered
It was repair; however the approval process was very slow.
It was great customer service. It took forever for you to approve my claim but you finally did and I'm pleased overall.
Only had it for one month becuase i decided to get a new car and that in itself was a great opportunity not to have to buy a whole year or more at one time. I never got to put it to the test at a service dealer but i am confident it would have been fine! My wifes warranty is running out soon and we will definitley be contacting Car Shield!
Any information would be wasted. I follow the rules and regulations and last $4,000 based on technicalities. Enough said.
Very professional and friendly good service took care of my problems
Was skeptical at first when I purchased it. But when I had to use it it went smoothly
They do everything they say in the commercial! They Keep their Word!
One call is all it took on our part car shield made it easy
Car Shield covered the repairs that were necessary to get my car back on the road and I was pleased with the follow-up communication I had with representatives from Car Shield.
Phone service agents were not helpful. Repair partially paid for with no explanation that made sense. This was one of the worse experiences I have ever had and I have been owning cars since 1983z
Always a pleasant experienced dealing with you guys. Keep up the good work. Thank you
Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!


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.
