CarShield Reviews

I get extended warranties for the cars that I buy. I fix them up and try and keep them. If I get tired of them, I trade them in. I have a 2015 RAM which CarShield covers. I have them as back-up to take care of my car. The reps were really nice about it and very helpful when I signed up. They were very knowledgeable as well. I had two payment options - a more expensive one or a cheaper one, and I went with the cheaper one. I have received the hard copy of the contract but my VIN is wrong on the card. Other than that, CarShield is a good company and I'd tell others to get it.

I signed up with Carshield over the phone and it seemed like it was relatively easy. Their reps have been straightforward. We've used it numerous times. My most recent claim was for my front main seal on my pickup. I had it fixed five years ago down at the Dodge dealership here in Fort Collins, and it had gone out again. I know it was a little more of a challenge to get CarShield to work going through the Dodge dealer. Because they were, in fact, Dodge dealer instead of an independent shop. But finally, they'd come through. Dodge did my turbo also and it was a challenge then. But it all finally came together and worked out. I'm glad we got CarShield.

CarShield was the first one I contacted right after I bought the car. At first, the rep said $100 and I said I would get back in touch with him. He went down to $79 and I signed up. They take it out of my account and I’ve paid two months. But I'm thinking about dropping it. I got the contract and handbook but most times, you don't have a chance to look at what comes in the mail. We're trying to trust what the person saying that’s what you bought, and I hope I don’t need it. But it's just CarShield puts my mind at ease since the Fiat is a used car.

I needed a warranty on my older vehicles. I looked at a few companies and saw Carshield on TV. They had the best price at the time, so I signed up, but I would tell friends and family to make sure they understand what coverage they have because sometimes the representatives don't explain it like they need to. I still pay for my own oil changes. I've been paying for three years, and I never had to use Carshield. Where is my money going that I've been paying for three years?

I just signed up with Endurance ‘cause I heard that it was a good plan. My buddy said Endurance is a very good company. The sign up process seemed fairly easy. It was a very courteous phone call. I've had nothing but good things to say about Endurance.

I’ve had CarShield for 2 years. My first claim. Had transmission sensors issues issue on my F150 truck. I contacted an authorized repair shop. They contacted CarShield and obtained authorization. Process completed in a matter of days. Truck was repaired and I am one pleased customer. Highly recommend CarShield!!

It's always good to have a vehicle warranty. I figured I was retired and I don't know a thing about these cars. The older ones, I did. But these new ones, I don't know. It's all electronic. CarShield was a pain in my butt always sending me letters and all this advertising and, "Join us and buy from us and we'll fix your cars." I said, "Okay. Here you go. Take my money and you better fix my car when it breaks down." I haven't had dealings with CarShield other than signing up. The rep was a bit pushy, but he's a nice fella. He explained a lot of stuff about what they cover and all kinds of electronic stuff and, "We'll fix this and we'll fix that." He explained himself good. He also gave me a bunch of offers. I kept telling him no and he kept coming down. I settled for the last one, which is 99 bucks. If nothing breaks down, it looks like I'm wasting my money. But when my car does break down, I'll make up for it.

Signing up with CarShield went well. I was with the company before, too. This particular time, the number that they started off was too much. For three times, I said it was too high. The fourth time, they got it to a number that made sense to me. If that was the number that they could have offered me in the beginning, why didn't they just start there? They could have stayed firm on that number versus starting me way up there and then letting me go down to something that made sense to me. That would be my only thing right there. I'd recommend them. I got a BMW covered and I'm on a monthly payment scheme.

The cost of car repairs is out of control. I decided to get an extended warranty and chose CarShield because of their good price and their reputation. Also, it wasn't an upfront cost. It is just a month-per-month basis. I'm paying monthly, and they allowed it to be automatically deducted from my checking account. So, I don't have to send them anything. Also, they let me pick the level of warranty coverage that I opted for. As far as their customer service reps when I called and talked to them about signing up, they were friendly and helpful.

CarShield was very quick to check an issue discovered when my auto repair company were doing an oil change. If it was handled quickly, it would save very costly repairs. I was very impressed with Car Shield sending someone to confirm the issue as well. They were able to approve the repairs quickly and I was very happy I had chosen Car Shield!

My factory warranty expired for my 2022 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, and I wanted some protection. I went with CarShield. I've read some stuff about them, and I didn't see any negative reviews about them. They also offer easy cancellation. They're also month-to-month, and they're not on a contract. That was a positive thing for me, as well. I also liked that you can go to any certified mechanic and get your work done. When I signed up with them, the reps were professional. They explained to me what I was buying. They were telling me about the different plans that they offered. I also chose the credit card as my payment option. It was an easy and pleasant experience.

The sign-up process at CarShield was fairly easy. The rep asked me what I was looking for and I told her that I needed bumper-to-bumper coverage. I bought the platinum package, which covers motor engine, transmission, starter, alternator, and air conditioner.

The lady from CarShield explained to me that the power train for my car would be covered. When I went in depth and asked her about specific things, such as my radiator and items to that degree, she explained that those things were covered as well. Those are the things that make my car operate. I wanted to make sure that if those go out, I will be getting assistance. However, I did not feel like I was able to achieve the coverage that I was looking for, so I let it die out. I let them fizzle out this month because my radiator did go bad and they did not cover it. They said they only cover the water pump. The water pump wasn't what needed to be changed. So, at that point, it was no good to me.

I have a 2018 Chevy Cruze and I was looking for coverage to get a replacement for my vehicle because the replacements are expensive these days. I don't have any money to pay the repair shop, which can be costly, so I decided to get a warranty. CarShield had a promotion in TV shows and on radio that they’re the best coverage, there's no deductible, and they will cover 100% of the cost. I signed up and I pay monthly, but I didn't get the coverage I wanted. There's no security. They always say that they're gonna fix something and they never do it, and the promotion that they have never comes true. They have bad service and I'm unhappy.

In July, 2021, I purchased a used car with low miles and in rather good condition from a reputable dealer; however, without purchasing an extended warranty. I joined Car Shield for car repair protection in case repairs were needed. After three months of owning the vehicle, I began experiencing various mechanical issues over a short period, including faulty electrical wiring and a defective engine oil sensor. In addition, a replacement radiator hose. I took the car to an established dealer of my car's make, in this case, a Chrysler dealership. Every time the dealer called Car Shield, the dealer was told these parts were not covered. Furthermore, the dealership's advice was to drop Car Shield because the experience with other customers was the same. So, I did and never referred to them again. Buyer beware.

I decided to go with CarShield after owning my vehicle for several years and starting to worry about unexpected repair costs. Like most people, I was hesitant at first because extended warranty companies often get mixed reviews online. After doing my research and comparing options, I felt CarShield offered the most reasonable coverage and flexibility for my situation.

Getting the coverage from CarShield was easy. They went through what they do and what's covered and what's not, which the average person doesn't know about cars. And when they tell them, "Well, we cover this and we cover that and timing chain and all of that," the average person doesn't know all of that. They don't know where a timing chain is in a car. They don't know if a car does have a timing chain. But see, my husband was a mechanic. I know some different things. So, they named a lot of things that that cover.

My truck and my other cars were out of warranty. I was watching it on TV and saw CarShield. Whenever I take my vehicle to wherever I'm gonna get my car repaired, I just show them my CarShield and they call it in. The last one was on a check engine light and a motor mount on my wife's car. The claims process took two days at the most. I spoke with CarShield once, and they were very nice and attentive. Everything’s been fine.

It was fine signing up with CarShield. It was something I needed and I wanted to find myself a good company. But CarShield did not follow through. When I went to start my car, it wouldn't start. I called to get help from CarShield but they said I had to call a tow truck. I called a tow truck but they couldn't help me either. When I mentioned CarShield, they hung up on me. CarShield is not helping me out in the way that I need them. I'm paying them 80 some dollars a month and now I can't afford that at all. That's a lot of money for me because I don't live on much now. They take my money but let me down when I needed them. I was very disappointed in the treatment I received.

I'm 24 and I have a 5-year old. I was trying to make sure that I could feel safe with us in the car. I signed up with CarShield and the process was okay. I got a letter saying that I could get an insurance for $109, which is what I'm paying. They went over the different plans they had. I wanted something else, but they told me that I couldn't get that plan because of the year of my car. I now have something on my dashboard going off and I'm thinking this is the time to call them and find out who I'm gonna be dealing with for any repairs.

The signup process with CarShield was quick and simple. I was trying to get off the presentation because I no longer needed it and it was a hassle. It seemed as if they didn't listen, and the reps tried to lower the prices for me since my sister forced me into it. I’ve been with CarShield for just a couple of months, and the coverage seems reliable and good.

My car was getting up in mileage and although it runs well, it's a 2012. I wanted to have coverage in place in case something major happens. The gentleman who signed me up was nice but what he told me wasn’t transparent. It's not true what they tell you. They made it sound like any time you take your car to the shop, it will be repaired. All the shop has to do is submit the invoice, and CarShield will handle the rest. But that's not the way it works. My car had to go in the shop for something minor, and it wasn't covered. So, I had to come out of my pocket almost $1,000 for coils and plugs, and I had to have my car towed in. I had coverage with CarShield years ago, but they’re not worth it now.

I have two Toyotas and one Chrysler, and they are old. I saw CarShield’s commercial on TV, and if the warranty is true, and they pay for a new transmission or a new engine, it would be worth the monthly payments. The rep was a nice guy and didn’t pressure me. CarShield was great, but the price is not. Still, if people can afford it, they should try it.

I had a choice between Endurance and CarShield, and I liked the two people that were doing CarShield. The rep who helped me sign up was nice. I've been with them for three months now and so far, they've been good.

I noticed some oil leaking in my vehicle, so I took it in on the 23rd. They said they'll have an adjuster go out in two business days, and that was Tuesday. I called again today, and they said it's gotta go under review, and it should be tomorrow when I’ll know something. I guess when tomorrow comes, they'll come up with something different. I also didn't know that I had to pay out-of-pocket for a rental car and get reimbursed for it. But they did a really good job during the purchase experience of my policy and they were really nice. It just takes them so long to get back with you on your vehicle. I am very unhappy with CarShield.

Typical experience with extended car warranty. I would look elsewhere for your extended car warranty needs. I would not recommend to friends or family.

CarShield responded quicker than the other companies that I contacted. I also had them before when I bought an Audi Q7 Diesel SUV. The car had it on a program, and so the dealership was able to transfer it over. So, I just kept it. This time around, I've got a Hyundai Genesis, and I called CarShield to sign it up. Everything was good. The reps seemed professional and polite. I was happy with them. I've read through some of the policy because I'm gonna put out some money to do the suspension on those cars.

You pay CarShield every month. Then several months later your car breaks down going down the interstate. CarShield arranges a tow to a CarShield shop. Then CarShield told the shop that nothing is covered So I had to pay the repair myself. Then I canceled CarShield because I am not paying car shield and my repairs.

We've had CarShield before. The previous time, it was a $100 deductible. It's now 250. But that's with everything in the world right now. I got the gold package based on the recommendation and it's solid. I pay monthly.

I knew about CarShield by word-of-mouth. Their coverage is better for the amount of repairs that you can have. A lot of the other companies had a cut-off for the amount of repairs, but CarShield didn't. Also, signing up was simple and easy. I wanted coverage for my entire car. The cost was reasonable.
