Great Experience with CarShield
March 1, 2025

The representatives at CarShield, are well trained. They listen to the customer and they immediately assist and handle the request. I like it that they go above and beyond by contacting the repair shop and setting up a time to show up at the shop. This is very convenient for the customer. Thank You!

Very good warranty company
February 28, 2025
Updated review

Everything always goes smoothly with CarShield. From the repairs they approve to the rental car arrangements. If you need a warranty company for piece of mind, there's none better than CarShield. Get the best policy coverage you can afford, you'll use it sometime down the road for sure.

Best independent car warranty company on the market!

Previous review

I was a little nervous when I chose CarShield to protect my used Jeep. Two employees tgatcI work with, and we are all in the car business, recommended them. After reviewing my options with the sales agent, I settled on etting the Diamond plan. Boy, am I glad I spent a few dollars more. On my first claim, communications were astonishing. Most of the rental car was covered while my car was in the shop. The updates between the CarShield people and the shop, as well as me was phenomenal. We'll done CarShield, I'll recommend your company to many of my clients that I sold used cars to, whose warranty has expired, to hook up with CarShield. Great company, great coverages, great communications. Thanks again!

When I had an GMC repairs option was good and I no problem with service. Now I have a Volkswagen and I am having problems with finding a replica shop that will accept Car Shield. Everyone I contacted shares that Car Shield does not pay and take a long time to decide. I called car shield to get a mechanic shop of their choosing and I still believe the mechanic shop did not go over and beyond to really try to resolve the issue I was having with my car. The repair shop Car Shield chose told me I may need to take it to the Volkswagen dealership. That made me feel you really don't want to work on my car and/or you are afraid you will not get paid by Car Shield. This the first unhappy experience with Car Shield.

Other than the call center to rent a car, everyone else was VERY nice and did inform me what was happening with my car. What was being paid and what I was going to pay.
I think you should furnish a card that we can carry in our wallet.
I had previous work done that I didn't have my paperwork.
