Spoke with Kasi. She was very helpful in checking the status of my claim, and was also very pleasant to speak with. She is a valuable asset to your organization. With Kasi assistance hopefully my claim can be resolved quickly to avoid any additional rental car charges.

My Starter went out on my truck on Saturday evening. Y'all got my truck fixed within a day. I'm back on the road Monday afternoon, and I am happy. I thank The Lord for CarShield. They are right on time and their commercials are real. They do get your car fixed quickly.

Car Shield has one of the best customer service agents I have talked to. They are very professional, patient and eager to help you out. Other companies should learn from their experience. The way the agent I spoke to treated me, although I was busy doing something else, she was very patient and helpful in making me understand my coverage. I had to leave what I was doing and ran outside to get my card and made the required payment.

My request was taken care of with care, and quickly by the Cust Svc Rep. She asked if there was anything else I needed. After being transferred to the Cancellation department, my request was taken care of. If I wish to renew my coverage, I would call Car Shield.

He was rude and abusive. Would not let me speak. He should not be working for you because everyone else is very nice. Get rid of him! I would not speak to him again so tell him not to contact me again. He does not deserve a position with your company!

I am just waiting to get reimburse on my rental. Other than that it was great but you have to wait to get your money from a rental. I wish they would just make it easy when you need a rental. Some people don't have the money to put out like that.

CarShield response

We apologize if you feel this way. We do go over what is covered with you on the initial phone call and also send you the policy. Please give us a call with any questions or concerns you may have.

Gave me plenty of choices of places to go. I prefer to use Prime Tune Auto Repair. They will be calling you for exact amounts of coverage. I appreciate the value and the comfort of knowing my car is covered.

I have had my policy for over a year and this was my first time to use it. Everything worked exactly as they advertise. Could not be more pleased. My car was towed to dealership. The problems were Identified. The Dealership called CarShield. I agreed to paying the deductible and everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend CarShield.

Customer service was very professional and courteous. Will purchase Car Shield for all of my vehicles. My Chrysler 300 was in an accident. The insurance totaled the vehicle, therefore my contract with Car Shield is not necessary anymore on the Chrysler 300. Please continue to send me promotional incentives and discounts. Do you have discounts for senior or elderly citizens? If so, please consider sending me the information that I am interested in senior discounts for Car Shield purchases. I already have a contract with my 2012 Toyota Camry. Thank you for your assistance and with your company being number one in the USA for warranties.

Filed claim, a customer service representative called me to explain the claim and the amounts they would cover. The agent later called the auto dealer servicing the vehicle and coordinated the approval of the repairs directly with them. I was satisfied with the response time in authorizing my claim.
