Ignition lock out
February 12, 2025

Went to start and ignition locked up. Called and reported claim to Car Shield and handled smoothly through my local mechanic. No problems and car is back in use thanks to my repair shop getting vehicle in quick and repair completed. Thank you for Car Shields quick response with repair shop.

Overall I am happy because I saved $7367 on a transmission plus Car Shield paid for a car rental for 10 days. Around $460 for the 10 day rental. I loved that. However, I had to pay approximately $1,300 out of my pocket because Car Shield wouldn't cover the dealership labor hours to remove and replace the transmission. That I am unhappy about. Other than that my experience with Car Shield has been wonderful. I have used them on one other repair and it was exactly as advertised. I paid $100 and Car Shield covered the balance, Very happy.

Comfort and convenience
February 26, 2025

My recent experience with Car Shield was one of comfort and convenience. When my check engine light came on,my anxiety went through the roof because my first thought is always,"How much is this going to cost me?" I was so grateful that the repairs were covered under my warranty! Everyone needs such assurance.

Perseverance
March 4, 2025

I've had several conversations with people at Car Shield in the past few days and I have been very stressed out! I re-read my book to make sure that heater repair was covered and it was just crazy to me that myself and my mechanic were getting a big run around. Finally the last phone call I made apparently made the difference and the repair is being done

A little confusing at first.
February 9, 2025

Took a couple of days but figured it out. Could never speak with same person twice so had to go over situation each call. To have the same agent for entire claim would be beneficial. Companies don't seem terribly enthused to use but eventually come around. Work got done. Direct payment to garage doing the work and with no hassle. Not perfect but more confusing than difficult. I'm completely happy!

Very helpful and professional. The customer service person Went above and beyond on the information that was given to me. I had never filed a claim before, so I had many questions, and she answered every one of them.

Not happy with this company! They are refusing to pay the mechanic. Premium customer service is a joke. They're saying the rates of shop is not in their price range. Very disappointed. Will not recommend them to anyone! False promises and low expectations of how they actually speak to us over the phone. Very rude! Misleading and not trustworthy.

It was okay.
March 10, 2025

I did not attempt to get a rental because I had limited funds. I didn't realize that it would take 4 days to complete my repairs. Luckily I had a friend from church who let me use their extra car for transportation.
Overall it was a good experience.

Carshield is worthless
March 2, 2025

I have had Carshield for 3 years,I just put in a claim for $5500 and was denied, our transmission would not go into reverse. What the hell is the problem, not as advertised. Everyone I can talk to will know of this sham.

Leon, that is unfortunate and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. After further review of your account, it appears the part that was needed for the repair was not listed for coverage on your contract. You are at a great level of protection and we would be happy to go over the details and parts listed for coverage with you. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.
