I was able to get a reduction of the fees. I was also able to get some info on my grandson’s car coverage. Cameron was very helpful. My friend Roberta ** recommended CarShield. She also told me to let you know I am a senior. I work for the Carroll County School System riding a special needs School Bus. I am a member of our local fire department auxiliary.

It was very disappointing when I actually needed to use my monthly Car Shield and find out the hard way. Very hard to find a mechanic..the ones I found wanted to charge me all sorts of diagnostic service fees upfront like Pep Boys. Not at all what I was expecting. Called Toyota and they said they don't accept it anymore. Called other mechanics and they said the same thing. Time will tell but so far I am sorry I even signed up for this hassle.
Sorry you’re having trouble finding a local repair shop that accepts our coverage. Some shops refuse to take our coverage, however it is not for the reasons you may think. Some shops refuse to take any outside coverage because they want to be in charge of their own prices. There is a nationally recognized labor guide that tells repair facilities what to charge for what services and things like that. But it's up to each individual shop whether or not they want to follow it. With coverage like ours, we keep shops from overcharging our customers and shops don't always like that. We’re happy to stand on our record of servicing over 2 million customers over our 17 years in business. Not to mention our claims department pays out over $5 million in claims every month. If you need help finding other shops in your area, please give us a call.

Wasn’t covered and was told it was when signed up. Very disappointing because it wasn’t from lack of maintenance it was worn out items? You buy the warranty in case something breaks! I’ve had 2 requests and both refused! Why have it? Please cancel ASAP.
Sorry to hear there may have been confusion about your coverage. Based on the mileage of your vehicle when you set up coverage, the suspension was never eligible for coverage. We did review your claim and it looks like the wiper motor was damaged by a non-covered part, and there is a listed exclusion in your contract that specifically excludes breakdowns that were caused by a non-covered part. Hopefully, we can help you out on the next one.

I have been trying to get a supervisor from CarShield by the name of Nicholas to call me back for over a week. He's handled my claims before and he's a person that I can trust to help me. I have everybody else in the company calling me except for him. I feel that if I've been working with you for over 3 years and you've been taking my money out of my account. The least I can do is speak to someone who I prefer to talk to not who you want me to talk to.
We're sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, we have over 2 million customers nationwide and less than 20 supervisors that take escalated calls in the order that they are received. All of our reps and supervisors are trained to be able to assist any customer they speak with, as Nick may not always be available when you call. We promise anyone you speak with will help you to the absolute best of their ability. Give us a call if you need anything else.

I was told that Carshield does not cover these kinds of repair, by ourisman chev security and by Carshield when I called them. I thought I had good coverage by Carshield when I purchase this coverage, and I did not know about the limits with the policy.
We're sorry that you feel this way. We show you had two previously paid-out claims last year, and the only reason this current one was denied was because the wire was corroded, and corrosion is specifically excluded from all of our contracts. The other item called in was the left side view mirror and we do not cover external cosmetic components of the vehicle, only internal mechanical ones.

I find your contract incomplete due to your failure to include information as to what is and isn’t covered under emissions and your service personnel not knowing what is and isn’t covered under the emissions policy. Also you don’t cover what is covered under seals and gaskets in the contract.
We're sorry that you feel this way, however, we can assure you that is not the case. On page 16 of 21 in your contract, it does specifically list out what is and is not covered under Emissions. Seals and gaskets are listed for coverage for your cooling system, air conditioning, fuel system, and supercharger/turbo if applicable. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

I called to discuss the coverage changes due to the mileage of the vehicle. If I pay for diamond coverage it should stay diamond until I decide to change it; not because the vehicle performed well and exceeded a certain number of miles before needing repair.
We're sorry to hear this. Once you sign up for coverage, you are locked in to that level of coverage as long as you keep the vehicle, no matter how high the mileage goes. We show you signed up for coverage in November, and called in to update mileage in January. The only reason you should have called to update the mileage is if the mileage at the time of sale of the contract was incorrect. If you were just calling to tell us how much mileage you have now, an update would not have been needed. Please give us a call to clear anything up.

Sorry to hear there may have been confusion about your coverage. Our coverage plans vary depending on the age and mileage of the vehicle. Therefore, our sales agents place you into the highest level of coverage your vehicle qualifies for at the best rates. You were given the absolute highest level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for nationwide, it just doesn't cover absolutely everything on the vehicle. It is still a great coverage that covers all of your major powertrain components, your AC, fuel system, radiator, water pump and basic electrical!

My experience with CarShield was negative. Due to the information on your commercials that prompted me as a female to sign up for your service. the commercial does not state that the systems have to be failed: in order for you to pay a claim. The lovely Vivica A. Fox saying, "As a woman you really need this service." My charge was $2100 and I still have to pay you $110.12 a month. That is not saving me thousands of dollars.
We're sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, we show that what your shop called in was the installation of an idler pulley skim for the betterment of the vehicle. This was not a mechanical breakdown, so it was not eligible for coverage. The contract does explain this exclusion of coverage. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

I canceled both of my contracts on 1/11/23 just 4 days after setting them up. Next thing I know they have taken out 2 payments out of my account for 1 of my vehicles. When I called Car Shield they denied taking out the payments. The payments have all of their information when they make them so the bank knows where they come from and they still have the nerve to play stupid and deny everything. I called Mepco their financial company they use. They said they have not run any payments that they must have come straight from Car Shield office. I have the email they sent me after the phone call on the 11th where I canceled everything so now I guess I will have to fight them to get my money back. I'm going to probably have to turn this over to a lawyer.
We're sorry that you feel this way, however, we can assure you, no additional money was taken from you after cancellation. You may be seeing the credits that went back into your account. We show that on the 2007 Ford Focus, your down payment was refunded to you on 1/12/23 at 8:21am and on your 2009 Ford F150, your down payment was refunded to you on 1/19/23 at 7:00am.

My 2nd rep Amanda really saved me from canceling with Car Shield. I called at 8:41 am on Fri. to get my car towed to my mechanic in Rockville, MD., the rep got me a tow (TF Towing & Recovery LLC) & said they would be there in 11/2 hours. When they didn't show up after 12 pm, I called them - the first time no one answered. Then around 12:40 they answered & said they were 15mins away. They never arrived. I called Car shield back at 2:30 pm to ask about the tow comp and find out what was happening. Amanda was the rep & she understood my frustration and promised to find a tow company that would actually show up. She said that the TF said they couldn't tow my car but didn't know they had to tell you (Car Shield) nor me the client. Amanda ordered Nardo's towing & Recovery and for my inconvenience waived the $59 overage ($125) fee I would have paid. Nardo's did arrive within the time slot and towed my car.
We're sorry to hear that the first tow company that was dispatched was not able to show up. We are happy that our representative was able to get you the assistance you needed.

First, CarShield has a good product at a decent price, however, read and understand your contract and don’t give up if your claim is initially denied. Warning, it’s likely ALL claims will be initially denied, prepare for a battle that you WILL win. I suspect Car Shield saves a lot of money by ripping off customers that accept No as an answer or the customer doesn’t want to argue for their benefit. Like many Insurance and Warranty companies this appears to be their business model?!? Also worst customer service experience ever!!! The garage and I spent a total of 7 calls and over 4 hours in the phone to initiate and process the claim! Here’s my recent experience in December 2022.
This entire claim was a needless battle and a waste of hours on the phone! I’ve been a customer for almost a years and I’ve had NO claims. This month (December) I had an oil leak, I took it to the car-shield recommended garage and had it diagnosed. The issue was a bad oil cooler, I called car shield and verified coverage and was informed the issue is covered. I proceeded to schedule the repair.
I took the vehicle in 5 days later and left it with the garage. An hour later the garage called me and stated that Car Shield said my policy did not cover the repair. The case was closed. Once I was informed I went to the garage and called Car Shield. After several prompts I finally got an agent. After 30 minutes on the phone it was determined, like the first call, the repair WAS covered. I held the agent on the phone and went to the desk for an open call with the technician. We were passed to an Car Shield adjuster. After another 10 minutes the adjuster stated the repair was authorized, just hang up, redial the SAME number and enter the queue. I said, "You have me, yourself and the mechanic on the phone, let’s do it now." He said we have to dial back and wait our turn In the queue. After almost an hour on the phone I think we waited long enough, but we did as advised.
The mechanic called back, went through a multitude of prompts just to wait in the queue. He finally got an agent and the mechanic was interrogated for almost another hour on the claim, it was ultimately approved but a rental was denied as was an oil change. I called back AGAIN, I was told the repair time was 1.7 hours so a rental is not authorized and the contract specifically states oil changes are normal maintenance and it was not covered. We debated for another 15 minutes and she kept stating the contract was specific and no exceptions would be made. My argument was simple, THIS IS NOT AN OIL CHANGE! I don’t need an oil change, it was done less than 1000 miles ago. In this case they have to drain the oil to make the repair. As a result, replacing the oil is an integral part of the repair, it’s NOT an oil change! I was then put on hold while she talked to a supervisor.
She came back and said, the supervisor said oil changes are not covered. I asked to speak with the supervisor. She put me on hold again then came back and said he’s not taking calls. REALY!!! If he’s the decision maker he needs to answer to the customer! I went another round with the agent. I quoted para D9 from the contract “LUBRICANTS, COOLANTS AND FLUIDS UNLESS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH A COVERED REPAIR”! She ultimately said it’s the garages fault. The quote states change not replacement. I said fine, I’ll have them change one word so the service is completed. She then said, but we aren’t going to replace all the oil, only what’s drained off. Well to make the repair, they need to DRAIN all the oil! The next day I got another call stating the claim was approved I could schedule the repair and ultimately only paid my 100$ deductible. Worst Customer Service Ever!
We're sorry to hear this. Most of this interaction occurred with your claims administrative company, American Auto Shield, not us at CarShield. We are solely the marketer/seller of the contract and do not have power or authority over claims, claims processes or claims decisions. We do show that the claim was called in and authorized the same day for the eligible items. We do apologize, but you are correct when you state that no rental was authorized because your contract does state that the repair must be 4 hours worth of labor or more to qualify for rental. If you have any other questions, please give us a call.

Company does not want to pay for anything, and when they don't cover a part they won't cover diagnostics either. How do you know what wrong without checking. This Company should not be in business, my car needs a $400 part, it's not covered because of the word exhaust os in its name but the actuator is covered, talked to 5 different customer service people. 1 out of 5 was on my side but I lost.
We're sorry to hear that. We looked at your claim and we only see that the radiator was called in and was authorized for repairs. If there are other concerns, please give us a call so we can look into them for you.

My power steering light came on unexpectedly and I lost power steering. Ultimately, the battery light came on. I drove to dealer who, after diagnostics, said the battery and alternator had to be replaced. It was Saturday morning before New Year's and I had to get home to get medication. Ourisman fixed the problem and the service associate said he would contact CarShield on Monday and get the issue resolved. He did and CarShield approved. Thanks!

I believe CarShield screwed me over on car rental.. My car was in the shop from Wednesday till Monday.. I rented a car then was told I wasn’t eligible for reimbursement.. Would never recommend car shield to anyone…When I signed up car rental was an important factor for choosing car shield.
We are sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, after a review of your claim, the claim was only supposed to take 2.7 hours of labor to perform repairs. Your contract clearly states that you are not eligible for rental until after 4 hours of approved labor time and it is only approved for the amount of verified labor hours needed to perform repairs. Hopefully, we can help further on the next one.

Some parts of the coverage are not available. Which still can be costly. Everything should be covered under the hood, all electrical parts and seal, driver module and low-pressure fuel sensor. I would also like to point out that the last two times I tried using CarShield, the request was disapproved. It is unfair to be with a company for service and never get approval for small items on a vehicle. There should be some type of consideration on parts.
We're sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the parts that are eligible for coverage are based on the level of coverage that your vehicle qualifies for. If you had wanted more coverage on the vehicle, the cost of the coverage would have gone up significantly, a minimum of $270/month for Platinum and a minimum of $429/month for Diamond. This is due to the vehicle's age and the fact that it is a Landrover, as well as you residing in Florida, which is a higher-priced state. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we gave you the highest level of coverage at the most reasonable price possible and gave you a full 30 day 30-day money-backtee review period to make sure you knew what was covered under your plan. If you are interested in upgrading with a significant cost increase, give us a call.

When you have a claim you always find a way not to pay. Always saying something else caused it. When someone gets a plan you should explain what covered under the headings. When I called about a couple of things they said they were covered then the repair shop called and they said they weren’t. A rip off taking people's money. Totally wrong.
We're sorry that you feel this way. We show this claim was denied because it is related to a TSB(Technical Service Bulletin) put out by the manufacturer. Our contracts do not cover any TSBs or Recalls of any kind and is listed as an exclusion in your contract. There is never enough time to go over the contract word for word when you set up coverage so we make sure to provide each customer with a full 30-day money-back guarantee review period to finish reviewing the details of the contract and call us back with any questions they may have. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to give us a call.

I wish I would have been told prior that you pay and then get reimbursed. It’s tough these days, who has a few extra hundred dollars for a rental. Guess I’ll have to figure it out. Not sure how but will have to find a way.
We're sorry to hear that. It's only reimbursement if you do not have Enterprise. If you have an Enterprise near you, then you can call claims and have one set up for you. Then you would only be responsible to pay if there are any overages. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
