First impressions
July 16, 2025

I had a major engine repair that included some hard to find parts. CarShield offered to even find and send the parts to my dealer. They took care of everything fast and with great accuracy. Worth every penny every month for that sense of security. I'm a very satisfied CarShield customer!

My car is almost ten years old and has approximately 104,000 miles on it. The transmission, the suspension are both broken and completely worn out. CarShield is agreeing to pay over $ 7,700 to the transmission and suspension parts to the Auto Repair facility.

I called on Monday 6/30/25 about my A/C not working on my 2020 blazer.
I was told to get in touch with christian brothers which I did.
They wanted to do a ac performance test that was $753.00.
They told me that car shield would not cover it.
What good is coverage that I pay for every month if it doesn't take care of my problem?
I am currently looking for someone that has my best interest at heart.
I also had an issue last week with your sister company Home Safe, I was told by the sales person that my swamp cooler was covered so I signed up for the program. Last week I had some issues with the cooler and was told it was not covered.
I am currently looking for another home warranty company that cares about me and will not lie just to get a sale.

John, thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. Upon further review, we do not see where the repair facility has contacted us to initiate the claim. In order for us to move forward, the repair shop must call our claims department so we can review the issue and determine coverage based on your contract.

We understand your frustration, especially when you're paying for coverage and experiencing an issue like this. Please know that we're here to help and want to make sure your concerns are addressed properly. We encourage you to have the repair facility contact the claims department directly, or feel free to give us a call at 1-800-587-4162 so we can assist you further.

George, thank you for bringing this to our attention. It sounds like you may have been contacted by a third-party scam or misleading marketing call. CarShield is not affiliated with any company making such claims, and we take this type of misinformation seriously.

We encourage you to be cautious about sharing personal or policy information with anyone who cannot verify they are a legitimate CarShield representative. If you ever receive a suspicious call, please hang up and contact us directly at 1-800-587-4162 so we can confirm the legitimacy of any communication. Your trust and protection are important to us.

This will ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of your contract's benefits.

Incomplete repairs
July 13, 2025

Even though Cario covers major repairs, AC engine transmission what they don't cover are the integral things like brackets hoses that supports those major repairs. So even though you save on the major things all of the supported parts you have to pay for.

We’re sorry to hear that your questions weren’t fully addressed during your conversation. Our goal is to provide clear and helpful answers, so we appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team to improve.

VERY DISAPPOINTED
July 12, 2025

I PUT IN MY FIRST CLAIM EVER AND IT WAS DENIED. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CLAIM, NOR NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS DENIED. I NOW HAVE TO LOOK INTO OTHER COMPANIES, THAT ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS THAN LOOKING FOR REASONS TO GET OUT OF PAYING.

Stephen, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how frustrating it can be to have your first claim denied, especially when you feel uninformed. That is not the experience we strive to provide.

Upon further review, we found that a representative attempted to contact you. However, the file notes indicate that there was no answer, and they were unable to leave a voicemail. All claims are evaluated based on the terms of your contract, but we acknowledge that effective communication is crucial, and we recognize the importance of keeping you informed.

We are continually looking for ways to improve our processes, and we truly appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to contact us at 1-800-587-4162. We are here to help and would be happy to take another look at your claim and explain your contract coverage in more detail.
