Nothing but horrible experiences
June 29, 2025

I am cancelling my services as your member do not uphold their agreements, I had a charge recently reversed as I am unhappy with services, and right after the charge was reflected to my account, I was charged for it again. Your agents are $#*!s and do not care about the people they service and I want a refund for my last two months, as I have received 0 benefits from CarShield, and the customer service is the worst I've ever seen!

George, thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. Upon further review of the claim file, it appears we did not have contact from the repair facility until today, which led to the delay in processing. We understand how frustrating it is to be without your vehicle for this long, and we know how important timely updates are.

The air conditioning in my vehicle gave out in In June which is the peak of the summer here in Maryland and I had to take my vehicle to the shop I let the dealership know that I had the warranty and I provided them with my contract number and pertinent information and car shield began a claim for me immediately. The dealership let me know that any extended warranty work would not include a loaner car, and I called car shield and they immediately set up a reservation for me with enterprise rental car which did not require me to make any payment out of pocket. The process was smooth and seamless and they were able to reserve a car for me less than a mile from my home. Car shield handled the payment to the dealer and shipped the parts to the dealer and just one and a half days. I am very satisfied
