We monitor reviews for authenticity
In December of 2023, Carshield Rep said my transmission was being exchanged for a remanufactured unit. When the exchanged unit failed again in May of 2023, it turns out upon further inspection, that this was a straight pull out from another vehicle, and was never rebuilt or even opened up for examination. Not to mention Carshield will not cover 100% of the labor expenses at the dealership.
You insure a vehicle sight unseen. Ask to keep records of any maintenance done, saying that it is very important, and when an issue comes up you deny service, not from lack of anything I did or didn't do (ie previous owners) not keeping up. Pay for a year and told won't cover an engine for lack of maintenance. Never did you ask to see my records. Not only out 2000. 00 but also a truck. Ripoff

I had 2 experiences with CarShield at different times and both experiences were handled perfectly. The customer service staff is very professional and courteous and patient and they answer all your questions. The first repair was for transmission related issues which they approved in a very short period of time. The work was done at the dealership and even they remarked as to how easy it was for them to deal with the employees at CarShield and I agreed.
The second experience for repair work was for suspension work, which involved
Replacing and installing coils, springs.
I am very satisfied with the level of professionalism that I have experienced from CarShield in both instances, and I would recommend this coverage to any of my friends and family.
In watching the advertisements and testimonies of customers, I can tell you that it's really true that the work gets done in a timely manner and I'm very pleased. I saved over $1,000 total on car repairs.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that both of your repairs—from transmission to suspension—were handled smoothly and to your satisfaction. It means a lot to know that our customer service team and claims process made a positive impression on both you and your dealership. Saving over $1,000 and feeling confident in your coverage is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful to have earned your trust!
