My car was leaking oil & I wasn't aware of it & when the dealership called Car Shield they would not cover it so yes I was very disappointed.
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.

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..

Answer: It's affordable, excellent customer service, and efficient claim precessing!
Answer: Great question! Please give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have!
Answer: Carchex & endurance. But beware if any car warranty!
Answer: Car Shield only SELLS the policies. American Auto Warranty is the company that administers is the warranty. BBB grades them an 'F' rating & I agree.
Answer: That depends on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for at the time you set up coverage. Give us a call with your VIN and mileage and we would be more than happy to go over that with you!
