I AM STAYING WITH CARSHIELD!
February 17, 2025

I love my car but my engine shut down. Thanks to CarShield, my car was repaired by my mechanic, and saved me $4,000. I paid only my deductible. I would not have been in a position to get it repaired right away. This also included a rental car while the repairs were being made.

No communication
February 17, 2025

I had to call 3 times a day for 3 weeks to have anything done. People said they would call and I never received a call. I had to pay for my own rental the first week because the claims guy went on vacation without telling anyone and he didn't submit my claim. Then Carshield's did get me a rental once the other adjuster took over then he left town and it was passed to 3 other people after that still with no communication to me or to the shop. Now we have the car at another shop to get the job done properly and we have finally come to a decision after this claim person did do something. And now carshield isn't letting us have a car rental and the part is still a week from shipping. They have never called me and I always have to call everyday. Zero communication and claims people not getting to my claim for days at a time.

Very informative and explicit
February 17, 2025

The people made it very easy to understand how it works they let me know what was covered how much any deductibles would be and gave me peace of mind. After pricing new vehicles, seeing how expensive they were I thought this would be a good idea since I'm gonna be holding onto my vehicles that I have now. This seems like a good idea just for a little lecture assurance that if I do have any major problems, I would have some coverage for it. So I think it may be money. Well spent hopefully I won't ever need to use it but just the peace of mind, knowing that I would have some assistance was very comforting.
