I’m very interested in the he coverage but I just don’t want to be pressured. When I say my wife and I decide together they keep dropping the price. What’s so hard to call me back in a day or two. To see if we decided.
Ernest, we appreciate your interest in CarShield and understand wanting time to make the decision together. We apologize if the conversation felt pressured. Your feedback is important and helps us improve how we communicate with customers considering coverage. If you have any questions while making your decision, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I had called several different places to find out how much they were, how much co-payments were, what they covered, and CarShield was the most reasonable. Signing up was no big deal. I called and I told them what I wanted to know, and they were very nice about giving me answers. They were definitely knowledgeable. Everything's expensive, but the costs I pay per month versus one repair I had right after I got the car equals out.
Mary, finding the right balance between cost and coverage matters, especially when one unexpected repair can add up quickly. We’re happy CarShield made sense for you and that our team gave you the information you needed to make your decision. Should you ever have questions about your coverage, please feel free to reach out.

I've only been with CarShield about a month. The main reason I took out some kind of insurance on my car is because I had to help my son pay for a $5,500 transmission and the CV axles on his car, and it scared me. When I was enrolling, the guy was very nice. I did the process over my overhead phone in my truck while I'm driving, and it was very simple and very easy. They took a debit card. About a week later, I got all the paperwork in the mail to review. You have 30 days to cancel it if you wanted to. The guy was a very cordial person. That means a lot. If I get ahold of somebody rude, I don't want to do business with them. I'm very satisfied so far.
A friendly and easy experience can make all the difference when getting started. We’re glad our representative made you feel comfortable and that everything went smoothly. Thank you for choosing CarShield and sharing your experience with us!

I researched vehicle warranty companies looking for the most reliable and affordable one. Carshield was one of three I found. I was contacted by text and email, but not an abundance of attempts. I called Carshield and immediate spoke with James, who was not A.I. He was very professional and not overbearing. He did not try to oversell a policy to me. He complimented the company he works for and explained in detail how these companies work. As we talked, he looked for discounts for me without my asking. He decreased my monthly payment three times during the conversation. I felt comfortable with his information and experience and I purchased the plan. Honestly, in this day and time, it’s difficult to find an experience like this. I appreciate you, James, and the company you work for. I hope to never have to use the policy, but I feel like if I have to, I will be taken care of.
Sherry, feeling comfortable and informed when making a decision like this matters, and we’re so pleased that was your experience with CarShield.

This company fails to honor repair promises, ignores multiple cancellation requests then stalks and harasses you with the most aggressive and rudest scum buckets they can find. Don’t waste your money here. I have notified them multiple times and on one occasion they even recognized their mistake but have refused to correct it. My bank was given the information for the dispute because could get nowhere with this despicable company. Now as of 8/21/2026 I have given them final notice to cease and desist and will press harassment charges against them for their continuing abusive antics. They are in public notice

I was looking for an extended warranty for my car, and CarShield was one of the top ones that was listed. They were the first one I called, and they sounded good, so I went with them. However, after I signed the contract, I spoke to my local GM dealer and I got a better deal through them. So, after one day, I contacted CarShield and canceled my contract. It took a while, but they canceled it, and they did everything they should have. So, I was good with them. When I did the contract, they sent me a paper saying if I wanted to cancel, I could cancel within 30 days and what I had to do to do it. I did everything they said, and it was canceled. CarShield is a trusted company. I would just be careful to check out your local car dealerships first to see if they had a better deal, which is what happened in my situation.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Glenna. We completely understand choosing the option that worked best for you, and we’re happy our team took care of everything when you decided to cancel. We appreciate the kind words about CarShield and wish you all the best!

This is my second vehicle I'm covering with CarShield. The first one, I rarely used it. This other one, I don't think I'm gonna have to use it either but I've been with CarShield probably a couple of years. I placed a claim on my first vehicle, and my experience was excellent. I called it in because all I needed was a tow truck. Having CarShield is worth it. It's not a lot of money. It's reasonable.
It means a lot that you chose CarShield again for another vehicle, Darryl, !

Absolutely disgusting!!! This company wants to pay half the labor and wants multiple diags to come from the customers pocket even though you already have the full diag. Then you don't send an inspector and want us to do it, and want the customer to pay for that too. This company is full of liars and thieves!!!
We understand how differences in labor authorization and requests for additional diagnostic information can create frustration during the claims process. Claims are reviewed according to the customer’s contract, with labor times based on nationally recognized labor guides and diagnostic costs considered according to the applicable coverage. At times, additional information may be needed to fully verify a failure before authorization can be completed. We recognize the important role repair facilities play in getting our customers back on the road, and feedback like yours helps us identify where communication and the claims process can continue to improve.

MY CARSHIELD NIGHTMARE. I called to cancel 3 days past my 30 day trial refund period due to sudden surgery, no problem. Then for 2 months my bank account was charged although I didn't finalize with mileage upon start date and other formalities. Absolutely criminal. I will stop these real experience reviews when they make it right. RIGHT lol.
Weston, we apologize for the issues you’ve experienced with the cancellation process. Our review shows two contracts associated with the account, with one already refunded. For the remaining contract, a cancellation letter is still needed before the refund can be processed. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we can go through the accounts with you and make sure you have clear information on what is needed to move forward.

I’ve been paying my premium for a year now. My car needs a water pump and is in the shop waiting for an inspection. Monday Aug 17th the claim was started and I was told 24 to 48 hours for an inspector to go out and inspect the vehicle. No one has come out, my advisor called to check on the status. He was told someone should have already came to inspect the vehicle. Needless to say today 3 days later we are being told another 24 to 48 hours for an inspection. This is not acceptable. I’m only allowed reimbursement coverage for a rental car for up to 7 days. I’ve had the rental for 6 days thus far. Who will pay for the additional days I need the rental for? Obviously Carshield's fault for no one showing up to do the inspection when originally supposed to. I’ve been told lies as well by carshield concerning this matter.
Kelly, we appreciate you bringing your concerns about the inspection delay to our attention. We know timing matters when you’re relying on a rental vehicle.

I called tonight and spoke with Zach then he spoke with Spencer for a quote on my 2019 Nissan Sentra Sr w/111,000. I made him aware that I have some pre-existing concerns.

I would have done that before calling them.
Valerie, we appreciate you being upfront about the existing concerns with your vehicle. CarShield provides coverage for future eligible mechanical breakdowns, so repairs needed before coverage begins would need to be addressed first. We understand that may not have been the answer you were hoping for. If you have questions about eligibility or available coverage options, our team is happy to provide additional clarification.

I've been with CarShield for a year. I purchased a truck that had some miles on it, and I decided that I would like to have some help in case something went wrong with it. The drivetrain was the only thing that was covered. I sold that truck. I called CarShield to cancel the program and get a refund. They said, "We don't give refunds but we can put it on another car if you want to." I said, "Just for one month, since I've already paid it." They said, "Yes." I said, "Okay. Put it on my Corvette." They did. The next month they charged me again for that. It was supposed to be one month that had already been paid. I need a refund for that.
I don't like the idea that CarShield doesn't do refunds, especially when you sold a truck, and there was nothing there insured, but they said they don't do refunds. I've tried to call thrice them but I haven't been able to talk to anybody. It was just phone systems. You get into a phone hell, and you never get back out again. They ask you questions that don't pertain to what you're trying to do.
Jimmie, we understand why the additional payment and refund information caused some confusion, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Refund eligibility and applicable timeframes are outlined in the terms of the contract. Regarding the additional payment you mentioned, a review shows that a courtesy refund was issued to help address the concern. If you still have questions about the refund or your account, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’ll be happy to go over the details with you and make sure everything is clear.

I bought a used car with almost 75,000 miles and wanted to make sure I had a warranty. My parents have used CarShield in the past and I called them directly after getting the car at CarMax because I didn’t want to pay the outrageous warranty price for a limited warranty. The sign-up process was excellent and the gentleman I worked with was very friendly. He walked me through the process, worked with the discounts to bring the numbers down a little bit and explained all the features. It was quick and smooth. I was told it’s month-to-month and that it’s a policy for life. Just pay it and it would cover all the major repairs. I’m hoping that’s right. I didn’t do a lot of research on it, but I should have. My problem is, when I did research afterward, I found that not a lot of service stations take it.
CarShield did a great job and I get the benefit of peace of mind knowing that I’m covered if something major happens beyond the dealership warranty. But the subsequent stuff is disturbing. I’m getting harassing phone calls every day from people pretending to be CarShield and saying they can lower my rates. They’re not CarShield. I never filled anything out online or did anything to get these calls. I don't know what's going on with CarShield, but somebody has their mailing list.

My vehicle has a branded title and low miles, and I wanted to make sure that if something goes wrong with it, it would be covered. CarShield was the only one that would insure me with a branded title. But I knew that CarShield was the only one that does, which was why I purchased the car. Knowing that I have coverage now makes me feel good inside. The sign-up process was fine and typical. The reps were trying to sell me as much as they possibly could, but I did my research, told them what I wanted, and they agreed to it. It was a simple process. It's probably better than most customer service these days because you deal with AI and it's annoying.
The coverage sounds good, and the contract states that once I'm past my three months, my deductibles go down. My concern is whether they will honor the contract if they think there was something already going on with the car before I bought it. They should come out and check it out instead of giving out coverage and then having an issue with it later on.
CarShield is good at marketing. You see them on TV, billboards, and the internet. Price-wise, it's a fairly good deal. I've been able to cut some things from my car insurance because CarShield offers roadside assistance and other benefits, so it averages out. With newer vehicles having so many digital components, an engine or transmission repair can cost a lot of money. I pay about $160 a month, when you might have to pay 8,000 in one month. I got CarShield’s warranty because I have a branded title. But if I had a normal car and just a brand-new one, I wouldn't do it. But I did it to protect myself and make sure I have coverage.
Michael, we appreciate you taking the time to really understand your options before choosing CarShield. Peace of mind comes from knowing what to expect, so if you ever have questions about your coverage or how a future claim would be reviewed, please reach out.

Setting up the accounts with CarShield was fine. I've already had cars serviced a couple of times, and nothing's been covered so far. One of them was the serpentine belt, and I paid out of pocket for that one. I wasn't out of my 30 days, which I didn't realize there was a 30-day wait. My understanding was that it was going to be a higher deductible for the first month, but when I called to make a claim, they said that I couldn't make a claim yet. I'm kind of undetermined so far. I'm not impressed. I got the insurance so that if I have expensive car repairs, that stuff is covered. But so far, the things that have broken down have not been covered. I haven't had it that long, so I don't know if maybe some future experiences will make me feel a little better about it.

My GMC Yukon is a luxury vehicle with tons of options and electronic stuff, and it had 70,000 miles on it, which was why I got an extended warranty. Some of the other warranties make you pay $5,000 upfront. But CarShield has a monthly deal, so if you ever want to quit, you can. I had gone through the hassle of buying a warranty before and then selling the car, and you have to jump through hoops to get your money back. With this, you can just stop it. The rep who signed me up seemed alright. He's a salesman, and he lowered the price from the initial amount, so he seemed like a nice enough guy. I'm 73 years old, so I know what salesmen are. They're just trying to make a living. The signup process seemed fast and easy, and I liked that I could cancel at any time.
My only disappointment is that I thought I was getting the plan with a $250 deductible when you take your car in. I found out that I must not have read the fine print, or it wasn't explained well, because I have a $1,000 deductible policy. So if it isn't $1,000, you have to pay for it yourself. Buyer beware. Always double-check, read the fine print, and ask enough questions.
David, we appreciate you sharing your experience and understand why the deductible caught you by surprise. We reviewed the recorded enrollment call, and the deductible for the first three months was discussed, but we know there’s a lot of information to take in during that conversation.

I've had some repairs done and my experience with CarShield has been fair. It's better than nothing, but I'm not overly happy with them. They never seem to pay the full bill and only pay a percentage. My most recent claim was for a radiator repair, and it’s always the same story. They'll pay some of it, and it just seems to be the way it is. The first repair I had done for a ball joint repair, CarShield paid the whole thing, but the other claims were only partially covered. One claim for an emergency brake cable was over $1,000, and they were only going to pay $400, so I didn't even get it done.
I didn't realize when I signed up with CarShield years ago that it's a third-party administrator. It's Auto Shield and they'll only pay so much. They want to send their own parts, which are usually not very good. Had I known it was a third-party administrator, I would not have signed up with CarShield. For what I pay a month, it's not bad. But it's not great either. I get questioned about a warranty company and I tell people that because they should be aware of what they're getting into.
Gary, we appreciate you sharing such honest feedback about your experience over the years. We understand why the difference between the repair facility’s total bill and the amount authorized has left you with questions.

They promote being able to go to any repair facility. I went to one they suggested and that facility was clueless. I wanted to take my car to the dealership. Who would know better about their car. After the diagnostic review, the dealership refused to work with Carshield, this isn't the first time I've had a repair facility refused to work with Carshield. So I called prior to any work being done and stated the issue. Carshield tried to send me to another facility. Wait, I want the dealership to work on my car. I asked, "If I pay out of pocket can I be reimbursed." To no avail. Carshield is refusing to reimburse any payment I made out of pocket stating I didn't have the repairs authorized and the car was still able to be driven. Since when was it ok to drive around in the summer with a coolant leak and faulty water pump.
Erik, we appreciate you explaining what happened and understand why the reimbursement decision raised questions. When repairs are completed without prior authorization, they may not be eligible for payment under the terms of the contract, even when the customer pays the facility directly.

My car had an issue this month. It's been in the shop for three weeks now. We were waiting on CarShield to review the claim. They wanted to send somebody out to go look at it. They went to go look at it. But they didn't even speak with the dealership at all. The dealership had no idea if it was approved or not. Then they reached out to the dealership, saying that they forgot to do two things, and requested that the dealership do it for them. So, they did it for them. It took days for them to respond.
I've been the middleman in this whole thing as well. The dealership sent it over. They told me they didn't receive it. Then I called back later the same day, and they said they did. So I called back, and then they said it was outstanding again. So, I went back and forth with them on that. Now, I'm away from home because I'm at college and my car is at home. So, hopefully, if it's approved this week, which I have no idea if it is or isn't yet, I have to go back this coming weekend from Virginia, drive up to get the car, and then bring it down. So, it's been a headache. The process takes a really long time and seems pretty disorganized.

My experience has been questionable. Before purchase, I was told$119 per month and $100 deductible. After paying, I was told that it costs $1000 deductible if you use the service in the first 90 days. When I used the service, I was told that my deductible will be $500. I questioned that because I made notes, they won't talk to you if they know you are recording the conversation. Rep said it is on the recording, but I can't listen to it! The low or no cost of the repair is BS! I paid over $1300 with the deductible. Less than a week later, it is doing the same thing and I have to take it back to Christian Brothers for them to tell me what the problem is; they need to keep it for a day. It shouldn't be another diagnostic charge, well, we shall see. I will take it to them on Monday. I'll give an update.

I got a good deal on a 2001 car. The expiration of the warranty went by time. The car I bought only had 6,000 miles on it. So, it should last for a while. It had no factory warranty. I wanted to put something on it with the low miles that it had. I wanted to protect my investment. I just went with CarShield via commercial. I did get an offer from the dealer when I bought the car. It cost me a little more through CarShield, but I got a longer term. So, I like the product itself. The signup experience was easy. I didn't have any problem with that. Their rep had presented me a product, and I asked if there was anything that had a longer term, and then he was able to find that for me. So, he met my needs. I'm pretty new with CarShield and haven't had to use it. Hopefully, I don't have to use it anytime in the near future, but it's there if I need it.
Daniel, we appreciate you choosing CarShield to help protect your investment. It sounds like our team took the time to find an option that better fits what you were looking for, and we’re glad getting started was easy. Hopefully you won’t need the coverage anytime soon, but we’ll be ready to help if you do!

I saw the advertisements, and I called and spoke with Carshield. I liked the friendliness, but also the professionalism that they showed when I called and inquired about their product. Signup went great too. The people were very helpful. They looked for the best possible offer for me, and I've been a customer for a few years now. They have signed on multiple cars and had other people in my family sign up with them as well.
Larry, we truly appreciate you being with CarShield over the years! It means a lot that your experience led you to cover multiple vehicles and recommend us to your family as well. Thank you for the kind words about our team and for your continued confidence in us. If any questions ever come up, just give us a call.
