Very slow process communication between repair shop and the agency. It took about a month to get the vehicle repaired.
Fabian, we apologize for any delay during the claim process. After further review, it appears there were some issues getting the repair facility to communicate with our claims department. Unfortunately, we have no say in the repair facilities processes. However, we are always here to assist in the claim. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
I was on the phone with customer service to pay my bill and I asked a question about bundling my two accounts into one payment. I was in formed by a recent encounter that it was ok. When I asked if my payments would still by bundled she replied no. I asked why and she proceeded to tell me it wasn't going to happen in a very rude manner. I then asked to speak to someone else because she was being rude and she told me sorry that you feel that way. She then continued to explain my policy and again I asked could I please speak to someone else. She said "Let me Finish Talking". Again I asked please could I speak to someone else and asked who I was speaking to. She refused to tell me then hung up on me. I had to call back to confirm my payment was processed with another representative.
Arthur, we apologize for any confusion regarding your account. Unfortunately, we are unable to bundle payments because you have two separate policies with us. However, you can request a change to your due dates so that both payments will occur on the same day, in two separate transactions. We will have our Quality Assurance Department review the call and take appropriate action. Thank you for your understanding.
Had to pay $2000 upfront because CarShield will not pay it. The shop did not want to fix my car because they think they're not going to pay them.
Davion, after further review, it appears the Administrator is requiring a tear-down to determine the cause of failure, as we can only cover the parts listed for coverage on your policy. Please contact our Customer Service Department for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns, as we are here to assist in the claims process and help you to understand the terms and conditions of your contract.
We'd like to learn more about what happened. Please contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we- can hear about your experience and take the proper next steps.
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!


Lora, thanks for the review and welcome to CarShield! Thank you for choosing us! We want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your policy, so please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your coverage.
