Exactly as advertised: efficient, complete and courteous, and with the car rental I could continue going to work without interruption. I was impressed.
Unfortunately, I had no contact with Carsheild today. I had some questions about my Carshield policy a week or so ago and the lady I spoke with was very helpful!

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.
