Though a long drawn out process where the part needed for my car was in short supply Carshield hung in there with me. With the dealership searching AND Carshield searching too for the part after 2 failed to program to my car, we were able to locate exactly what was needed after 6 months and it programmed to my car immediately without incident! Through the collaborative effort of myself, dealership and Carshield we stayed in contact and got the job done and completed.
Dealership was initially not interested in working with Carshield because they had been burned before and NOT paid for job completed early on in Carshield's beginnings. Thanks to excellent CS when I relayed this to the company they reached out to the leery dealership and insured them they had updated and upgraded their systems. My dealership agreed to work with Carshield tho skeptical and got everything done in the 6 month timeframe. I picked my car up last week and it's driving great. I signed off on the invoice at pickup, paid my deductible and will be following up with Carshield to ensure my dealership was paid in full!
I've so far been satisfied with Carshield and will continue to support them as long as they continue to keep up this quality of services for my prized possession car. Thanks Carshield and Jenkins Dodge service department for your hard work and dedication to getting my car back in the road.

Item not covered
April 12, 2025

I called & asked if the wiring harness would be covered for a rear tail light & was told it would be covered as an electrical item as long as over $200 which is the deductible. Found today it is not covered.

Arnold, this is unfortunate to hear and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The catalytic converter is not covered on any of the coverages we offer as they are heavily regulated in every state and are not technically required for the function of a vehicle but are more for exhaust purposes. We'd be more than happy to provide a detailed breakdown of your coverage and the specific parts that fall under it. Please don't hesitate to contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any questions or concerns.

Waste of my money
April 11, 2025

I pay over two hundred dollars a month for over nine months and when something was finally wrong with my car I was denied my claim because it has to be warped in order for you guys to cover expenses. It's not as cut and dry as you guys make it to be when I signed up. I basically could hace spent all my money and repaired my car with the high deductible I am paying. I don't know if this is the right service for me anymore.
