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.

Satisfied customer
March 14, 2025

I'm so grateful Car Shield covered what their contract promised. Charles, their agent, was helpful and well-informed. This is the second time the company has come through for us on major repair needs.

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

Forgot I had CarShield
March 20, 2025

I'm not sure how long I've been paying for a service and never used it before. I don't have any membership card or warranty information on what I have. This is the first time I've been contacted by the company.

Disappointed
March 17, 2025

My first claim after a few years paying monthly fees resulted in no coverage. Reviewing my policy regarding electrical for sun roof, it seems that it should be covered. My mechanic questioned why it was not covered and could not understand the explanation.

Information on how to file a claim
March 9, 2025

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.
