Excellent response time.
March 11, 2025

Each time I call for information, I always get a representative that is knowledgeable and friendly. Sometimes my request for repair is covered and other times it is not. I appreciate the immediate response time and the explanation of why the item is not covered.

Most Reliable Service Ever
March 11, 2025

I felt as though I was shooting a CarShield commercial when I was telling my friend about the service I've received. You've got to be second to none when it comes to keeping your promise as advertised! I have honestly saved thousands of dollars using this service. I have recommended CarShield to several friends and relatives.

Chaotic
March 11, 2025

With CONFIDENCE I BOUGHT YOUR BEST PLAN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY GREAT PEOPLE. It seen to start fine, then car rental called and needed more money for their ins. Then they said car shield only authorized for 5 days. I am a disabled vet, cant walk very good. I called cae shield and they said they would go day by day. In contact with ford dealership repairs and they tell me they sent on some link what car shield wanted twice, had to call car shield, they said they didnt get it all, had to call dealership and tell them that. Never thought I would have to gety so entangled in this process. I am a disabled vet that has to work full time to survive and had many health issues over the years. Dealership said theynt do anything without car shield go ahead. Please Hellllllllllllp me. *******074 Philip Liptak

It was okay.
March 10, 2025

I did not attempt to get a rental because I had limited funds. I didn't realize that it would take 4 days to complete my repairs. Luckily I had a friend from church who let me use their extra car for transportation.
Overall it was a good experience.

Yesterday, I received a call from the Adjuster to explain me what was approved, I started to ask questions just know more of the process and clarify certain things and he quickly took a very defensive stance with a no tact instead of hearing me out and trying to clarify my questions and concerns in a more customer first approach.
