They are very timely with communications and follow-up well. Was a positive experience. All associates were polite and responsive.
When our truck would not start we thought it was the battery. What we found out is the alternator was not working. We called Car Shield and got immediate help. They made sure we had our truck back as soon as possible. We would recommend them to anyone whose warranty is no longer in force. Great company! Thank you Car Shield!

Thank you so much, Christine, for your kind words and positive feedback. We're glad our team was attentive and answered all your concerns to your satisfaction. We look forward to assisting you again and provide continued support whenever you need it.
I had an issue with my 2016 Dodge Journey motor. I reached out to CarShield to brief them on the issue. I also needed towing to get my car into the shop of which this was also done through CarShield for boarded cost based on location to the shop! While my car was also in the shop, I still had the convenience of a rental for 14 days through CarShield while repairs were being done. All of this so far would be an exorbitant price. This only cost me my deductible and I was able to get back my car within an ample timing without me breaking the bank. This service I highly recommend to anyone.
Dev, thank you for sharing your detailed experience and for recommending our service. We're truly glad we could ease the repair process for you and keep things affordable while getting you back on the road smoothly. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!
Between the mechanic and Car Shield I did nothing but take my car in. Car Shield was the best at getting our rental and our car repairs done quickly and it only cost me 100 bucks. I've been a Car Shield member for about four years. This was my first claim on it and I'll tell you what I am a member for life.
Ryan, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your first claim went smoothly and that our team was able to assist quickly with both the repair and rental process. It’s great to know that after four years of membership, we could deliver the level of service you expected and deserved.

Car Shield doesn't cover any mechanical breakdown but does cover the big concerns
Steven, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear your experience with our sales representative was positive and that your questions were answered without pressure—that’s exactly the kind of service we aim to provide.
