Added a Second Vehicle
February 5, 2025

I called to add a second car to the protection plan. The process was easy and as quick as when I added the first vehicle.

Representative was extremely helpful
February 5, 2025

Jeannie was able to get adjusted rate from North Miami Toyota Service writer, Juan Hernandez, who wanted to charge 3 hours labor to install an alternator. The max this should take is 2 hours and a good mechanic should only take one hour. I will not use NM Toyota again and if I do need repairs in future, I will ask CarShield to recommend a shop.

Helpful Information!
February 4, 2025

I was ready to cancel my contract due to our mechanic not one who uses Car Shield when repairing any of our 3 cars - too much of a hassle for approval snd payment. He fixed our 3 cars in past 2 years with refusal but gave us a discount.
Your representative on the phone told me to go on the website because there are 31 auto shops in Honolulu/Hawaii that accept Car Shield so l will be looking up that list for next car repair!

CarShield review
February 4, 2025

I was very interested in the how the service was going to work. Sorry that I had to cancel before it got started. But being on a fixed income, I just couldn't make ends meet. The sale people I worked with was very helpful. If I can make ends meet, I will give it another try.

February 4, 2025

Due to scheduling issues, this never got solved every time I talk to Car Shield. I got a different person who told me a different thing then I finally got somebody who told me to go down to Centerville, which is very long way from me and when I got down there and they said you needed an appointment and I specifically asked the young lady do I need an appointment She said no so the issue isn't resolved. I don't plan to resolve the issue, but I will keep Car Shield for hopefully nothing else goes wrong.

Dealing with fraud

I got an email saying I was late paying my bill but it didn't look right.

They were very professional and now I am confident that I will not be robbed.

The company that keeps its word!
February 3, 2025

My check light came on and I quickly got the truck to my mechanic. Car shield came to the rescue again. My timing chain was off and had to be replaced. That is a very large repair. The mechanic was on top of the issue and took great care of me and my truck.

Insurance not needed at this time.
February 3, 2025

The problem was a simple one of which the mechanic did not tighten the bolts on one wheel when rotating the tires which caused the knocking noise. It was repaired without charge.
