Con Artist
April 1, 2025

I have not had any experience with you. My car is the only thing I have covered and it is OK. As for Home safe, etc. they are all con artist and I do not want any of them. So stop them if you are involved.

Satisfied but surprised
March 31, 2025

My van situation was taken care in timely manner. Everyone were very cautious and helpful. Surprised to come and get a person to talk with. Rental car was provided which was a great plus due to time it took to get car back.
Was surprised thst me deductible was 100.00 not 50.00 as stated in contract. Wanted my car back so paid it.

Marjorie, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review! However, upon further review, your recent claim file indicates your deductible is $50. It appears there was an out-of-pocket expense for the differences in labor times between what the repair facility charged and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Mission accomoplished
March 13, 2025

Received a letter in mail that my Account needed renewal, so I called CarShield and asked why I received the letter; it did not have my account # one thepaper, so I was asking why I received it. Agent clarified/determined it was a solicitation and was sent in error. So I shredded the letter and that was all.

I had a transmission issue while on vacation. I used AAMCO transmission repair. AAMCO assisted in filing my claim.
Once the claim was submitted Car Shield worked hard to help expedite my repair so I could return home.
I'm not sure if I got lucky because both my Car Shield adjuster and the AAMCO repair shop were both great.
Thank you Car Shield.

Not satisfied
January 23, 2025

1. All of my claims were not approved and paid for. 2. CarShield only paid 69% of the cost to replace my vehicle bad starter. 3. My vehicle was at the dealership for over two days after the repair was completed waiting for the dealership to be paid by CarShield before the dealership can release my vehicle.

Walter, we appreciate the time you took to leave a review. After further review of your account, it appears there are some parts that were not listed for coverage under your contract. Furthermore, it appears there were differences in the labor rates and part prices that the repair facility used and what was recommended by a nationally recognized labor guide. Please call our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162, we are more than happy to answer any questions you have and explain the breakdown of cost regarding your claim.

Stay Covered
March 25, 2025

The service plan information/purchase phase was quick and professional. I feel secure having mechanical repair coverage for my vehicle. Hope I don't need it but it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Very happy with claim process
May 3, 2025

I had a couple of issues with my SL 550, took it in and knew Carshield policy did not cover the items but after the service advisor at my shop contacted Car Shield, they agreed that about $ 300 of the repair was covered.

Claude, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this situation may have caused. To verify coverage for the necessary repairs, please advise your chosen repair facility to contact our Claims Department directly. When they call, it's crucial that they provide a comprehensive diagnostic report that includes specific part numbers. This information will allow our claims adjusters to assess the situation accurately and determine the extent of your coverage. Please contact our Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you have any further questions or concerns.

Paid some... yes, but it wasn't easy 😒
March 24, 2025

My 2015 Toyota Rav 4 liftgate wasn't closing properly. It needed struts and liftgate sensor. Carshield paid most of the cost for the struts but refused to pay for the sensor, leaving me to pay $300 for the struts+ $700 for the sensor instead of the $100 they misleadingly advertise. 😒

Gary, upon further review, it appears there is an approved authorization for both rear power tailgate support/struts. We do not see anything on the claim regarding a sensor. If there is an issue with the sensor, please have the Repair Facility send in the documentation so we can review that information. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.
