Extremely glad I had Car Shield
March 16, 2025

I took my car to the dealer thinking I just had a problem with the audio interface but they discovered a leaking waterpump ($$), broken mounts and a bad APIM module and radio. Car Shield covered everything and did it very promptly. I would hhigky recommend them.

Car Shield
March 16, 2025

Car Shield is just a company that sells people the product. American Auto Warranty is who under writes the coverage. I have had nothing but stress with Car Shield and American Warranty. They only cover what they choose to cover and that's only minimum coverage as well. The Warranty Company also only wants to use the cheapest parts available and really do not care for the customer. I just paid a bill of 6100 dollars for repairs and it was more out of the 7100 it cost only 1300 was covered. So before choosing Car Shield i.would shop around.

Bobby, we apologize for any confusion regarding your recent claim. After further review, it appears that there were some parts that were not listed for coverage, as well as a part that is still covered under a warranty that we were unable to assist with. Our priority is to provide clear and comprehensive support to all our customers. Please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service to thoroughly review your contract, provide a detailed explanation of the claim process, and address any specific questions or concerns you may have.

Not covering anything related to emission control makes no sense. And that is even with their best plan. They need to cover essential ECM related repairs if they want remain relevant. Their competitors do cover that segment.
