Horrible All the way around
January 27, 2025

HORRIBLE. From the time we initiated the claim to payment our service was horrible. Our transmission in our 2015 Tahoe went out. THIS WAS WHY WE BOUGHT THE INSURANCE! It we teeth pulling to get you to approve, when we took it to a Certified Transmission place. You wanted to use USED PARTS, when that is not what I was paying for. Then you requested multiple quotes, when the quotes were sent multiple times with pictures. Multiple customer service reps handled our account and not one could explain why this was being handled so poorly. Not one returned a call when asked. I still had to pay $800 out of pocket. I'm asking myself why should I keep this insurance now! I have another vehicle insurance by you guys and I will be looking for other options due to this horrible experience

Angela, it is unfortunate to hear that you are not satisfied with our services. After further review, 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 that led to the out-of-pocket costs in the claim. We are always willing to go over your contract with you, explain the claim process, and address any issues. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department with any questions or concerns you may have. We are here to assist in any way we can.

Disappointed
March 18, 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.

Periodic approval
March 9, 2025

Since this was only the second time I had to request service the only thing I was very disapointed with was the "nit-pickin" when it came to the interpretation of the verbage in the contract for the clarification of electrical approval/authorization regardomg original parts versus insralled parts.

Best Purchase I've ever made!😎
January 6, 2025

From start to finish the customer service is amazing! Every step of the way I was contacted to be updated on the progress of my claim. The fact that I can keep my car on the road and insured against troubles that would otherwise keep me sidelined and looking to purchase another vehicle is more than worth it IMO. If you haven't already, BUY THIS COVERAGE! You won't regret it, I promise you! There's a reason they're the number one auto protection company in the U.S. if your vehicle breaks down, towing is provided. While your car is in the shop, rental vehicle is available with certain plans. And best of all you're not stuck with a high repair bill. I consider myself the unofficial spokes person for Car Shield because I spread the word to everyone I come in contact with. IT'S SO WORTH IT!

Started great finding a shop
January 5, 2025

First call to Carshield she was very helpful in finding a shop that would do the necessary work and accept carshield. But after my truck was a week at the shop with no action taken (Avoid Firestone Lakeland, TN!) called carshield back and told them I had to find a new shop and she basically led me to believe I'm on my own. They sure don't mind collecting my monthly premiums.

Part ordered by Carshield
February 3, 2025

Carshield was very fast in responding & gave us a call to let us know that it was just the $100 deductible & that if we let them send the part to the Dealership, instead of using the Dealership part that we wouldn't have to pay another $58 for the Dealerships part cost.
We are now just waiting for the part to come into the Dealership.
Thank you

I appreciate CarShield but...
January 24, 2025

I am very satisfied by the claims paid by CarShield but when I signed up I was under the assumption that my portion would be the $75 (now $100) deductable and CarShield would pay the cost for repairs. I've had several repairs e.g. tie rod and ball joint and I've had to pay for almost half of the cost. According to CarShield you can take your vehicle to any mechanic and since I have a Mercedes, I take my vehicle to the Mercedes Service Dept. for all of my maintenance. I will continue keeping CarShield because it does save me money.
