My experience is horrible. I am paying y'all for insurance and you are doing what you said you suppose to do. I have not have my car for almost two weeks. And y'all are fighting about parts with the service company. Please just fix my car. I am so depressed right now.

Very disappointed with Chapman Dodge for not completing a diagnostic by the end of the day as most dealerships does within the same day.
My claim was not put in until the very end of the 2nd day.
It took the dealership 3 days to complete service on my car.

Transmission replacement
March 13, 2025

I have a 2017 Genesis G80 with only 37K miles; I was having a transmission problem which, ultimately, was diagnosed as faulty. Why, at 37K miles, I have no idea! I just picked up the vehicle today and it runs like new. The only concern I had when talking with the Car Shield folks initially was that my $100 deductible wouldn't cover the needed replacement cost. Although I took the car to the only Genesis dealer in Las Vegas, when the claim was submitted, their hourly labor costs and time for repair exceeded the standard used by Car Shield. Having said that, I AM VERY HAPPY with the amount that was agreed upon--an out-of-pocket expense of $1,770.

It was not complicated. The representative was kind, knowledgeable, and reasonable. She gave me my opinions and sought to cover all possibilities. It was a very good experience. I hope I never need to cash in on my coverage. If I have to cash in Car Shield's coverage then I will truly know of your integrity.
Thanks

Mission accomoplished

Received a letter in mail that my Account needed renewal, so I called CarShield and asked why I received the letter; it did not have my account # one thepaper, so I was asking why I received it. Agent clarified/determined it was a solicitation and was sent in error. So I shredded the letter and that was all.
