A/C wasn't working. Contacted CarShield to help locate a repair facility. Once we found one, the repair went smooth. They even helped me with the rental car. Very Pleased!
I took my car for repair At Garbers Car Dealers for repair, I was charged cash for the wheel sensor, I called car shield and asked if that was covered, was told yes, but had to call first.
Mary, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The contract states on every page No Claims Will Be Paid Without Prior Authorization. We can only cover the parts that are listed for coverage under your contract. The authorization process is vital to identifying the eligible parts and verifying labor hours. Our Customer Service is here to offer support and guidance with navigating the claims process. If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-587-4162.
When calling CarShield with our request to have our vehicle taken to the shop because the engine light came on, they were very caring and courteous and as I was on the phone they called the business we previously used to make sure they still excepted CarShield and to see if we could set up and appointment and we did. It was very easy, and we took it to the shop the next day and they worked directly with CarShield as needed. No worries. We love their service (CarShield) and they take care of the cost.
Cindy, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a seamless and stress-free experience with us. Please give us a call if you need anything else!
Cause you did not pay for the most expensive thing that needed to be did to my car. Initial light is on and if I can't afford to pay it and I've been with Car Shield lease for five years now. And I also need a break Cascio did not pay for it
Jessie, that is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any inconvenience this caused. After further review, it appears the majority of the claim was paid for. There were differences in the labor rates that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

Could not be more excited about my experience so far with my claim. I am leary as I truly expected a serious fight and will gladly update this upon the conclusion.

As I should be, every customer, every time!

Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!
