It was a very good experience they take time to listen to your needs. The only thing I would say is
Try to give Senior 65plus and up discounts plus for those that have "been with you for a very long time".

Haven't been thrilled
February 16, 2025

Well when calling for roadside assistance the person had a hard time finding my location but in the end did. After some conversation with a few shops I am discovering use of the "warranty" is not exactly cut and dry. Several shops that accept car shield were not thrilled to do so because according to them it is a fight to get things done. What I have taken from this is that it will be like medical insurance. Car shield will decide what it is you need even though the "doctor" who is examining the problem recommends it be done this way. I am going to see what happens and then post another review. I am not one who will candy coat my opinions so I hope it goes well for all involved.
