Coverage
June 1, 2025

I only had one experience so far. What the dealer wanted for the repair vs. what Car Shield was going to pay for were far apart. I am disappointed currently.

James, thank you for sharing your experience—we understand your disappointment, and it's unfortunate to hear the repair process didn’t meet your expectations.

When determining coverage amounts, we use a nationally recognized labor guide to ensure consistency and fairness across all repairs. However, it’s ultimately up to each individual repair facility whether they choose to follow those standardized rates, which can sometimes lead to differences in cost.

We are always working to improve our coverage options and processes to better serve our customers. If you’d like to discuss your claim in more detail or have questions about your plan, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-587-4162. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist you.

Cooling System
May 31, 2025

NOT Good we had a dispute over what constitutes, part of the cooling system and every mechanic i talked to said the cooling fan assembly helped with the cooling.no where in the contract does it say the engine cooling fan assembly is not covered.

Date of experience: April 21, 2025
Alicia G. — CarShield Rep
9 months ago

Leroy, we understand that the cooling fan assembly is an important component of the radiator system. However, unfortunately, it is not listed as a covered item under your current contract.

It’s important to note that your service contract is designed to outline what is covered, rather than listing every item that is not. That said, we understand how this can be confusing, and we’re here to help clarify any questions you may have.

You do have a strong level of protection, and we’d be happy to review the details of your coverage with you. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-587-4162—we’re here to support you.

Car fix
May 29, 2025

They took care of my problem but I had to pay for it as that was something you didn't cover just my luck. I pay 106.99 once a month every month and you wouldn't pay for it. The lady that talked to the dealership was ever so nice and she set everything up I appreciate her.

Donna, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Upon further review of your recent inquiry, it appears the issues you contacted us about fall under routine maintenance, which is not included in your coverage plan.

You do have a strong level of protection, and many important components are listed under your policy. If you have any questions or would like to go over your coverage in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service team. We’re here to help and ensure you understand all the benefits your plan offers.

Gregory, after reviewing your account, it appears there were delays in extending the rental due to the repair facility not providing the necessary information required to proceed with the claim. We’re pleased to see that the claim has since been authorized for repair. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out—our team is here to assist you in any way we can.

Neil, our coverage plans and prices vary depending on the age and mileage of your vehicle. We understand that the cost of parts and labor for vehicle repairs has been steadily increasing across the nation. This can place a significant financial burden on vehicle owners when unexpected breakdowns occur. Our range of policies aims to mitigate this risk by shielding your budget from the potentially high costs associated with these unforeseen events. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service with any questions or concerns, as we are here to help in any way we can.
