Clearly Explained
February 25, 2025

The agent clearly explained the policy and worked hard at getting me the best rate possible. I just got the coverage and have not had any claims yet. I feel it is worth the money spent for the premium.

The reason I got a CarShield plan
February 24, 2025

Well I've had a CarShield plan for a little while now now my car has broke down I received my plan book after it broke down. So as I read and find out that there are three maybe four plan options which I was never told. So now I'm in a position that the plan I've been paying for may not cover what is wrong normally I do my own work but I self diagnosed the issue and it's not listed so I tried to up the plan that it is and I was told I can't ever upgrade my plan so I might have to come out of pocket for the repair while paying for this plan which wud be worth it if it covered this issue which can happen to all makes and models..
