CarShield Reviews Summary

CarShield generally enjoys a positive reputation among customers, praised for its reliable coverage and the significant savings it provides on repair costs. Many users highlight the courteous and helpful nature of customer service representatives, noting smooth claims processes and effective communication. However, concerns persist regarding service delays, particularly in claims processing and the complexity of filing claims.

Overall, while CarShield is recognized for its value and customer service, improvements in claim efficiency and clarity of coverage would enhance customer satisfaction.

Scammed me
September 14, 2023

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!

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.

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!

Horrible Service
September 14, 2023

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
