By the way, the payment problem has now been remedied, per the service contact at the dealership. At least all is well now, but certainly the problem was not addressed in a timely fashion. Again, is there any way to prevent this sort of payment delay problem in the future?
We're sorry to hear there was a delay in payment. To avoid future delays with payment, all that is needed is the final invoice with your signature on it for claims to be able to release payment to the shop. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

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.

I would highly recommend CarShield. The customer service is top-notch! Every contact with them has been a pleasant experience. I was very skeptical at first.

I believe CarShield to be a company who plays the shell game. On television and on the phone they make it sound like everything is covered and you don't have to worry about any expensive repair bills. On television there were no disclaimers when I purchased. I carried it for a year and finally dropped them for valid reasons. They send the contract after you set up payment and most of the contract is a play on words. Here are my experiences and I wonder if I can be part of the class action suit. It's not enough money to file a separate lawsuit but they must be stopped.
1) I had an oil leak start with cold weather. It was determined by Meineke to be a cracked oil filter housing which is plastic and known to crack on Jeeps especially in cold weather. I had to fight and make countless calls to get it covered as did Meineke. CarShield said they would have to send the part themselves and wouldn't let Meineke purchase from their own vendor. Meineke said we can't warranty a part that we don't purchase. After many weeks they finally paid for the repair.
2) At the same time I had a window regulator on the passenger side acting up. When CarShield sent out an inspector they said it was working fine and they wouldn't pay for it. Meineke told them as well as myself that it was not working properly although it was intermittent. CarShield wanted me to go until it failed and the window stayed rolled down and wouldn't close even if it was in a rainstorm or let's say at a mall where I would have to leave the car parked with a window rolled down. I finally got them to agree to let me videotape when it wasn't working properly so they could see how it hesitated and wouldn't roll up. Once I did that they said that wasn't good enough but after countless calls from Meineke and myself stating it was easy to see it was not working correctly they finally paid for the repair.
3) I had an ABS warning come on. A mechanic determined that it was a driving wheel clock spring. CarShield stated it wasn't specifically listed as a part that could be covered and they wouldn't cover it. It was over $700 for the repair and my airbags weren't working when that shorted out.
4) On my automatic transmission the "slap stick" mode quit working most of the time and would stick in one gear. The mechanic determined that I needed a shifter assembly which had a module with switches in it that engaged when shifting. CarShield stated they don't pay for a shifter assembly, only a internal transmission failure and they would also only cover modules and solenoids. Because it was a module with switches instead of solenoids they said it wasn't specifically covered.
They again make you think that you don't have to worry ever again about breakdowns and costly repairs. Now they state that they cover 6000 parts instead of all breakdowns as they used to lead you to believe. They use legal jargon to get out of paying for almost all repairs in my estimations. I had never used an extended warranty company. It makes it worse that CarShield is just a marketing arm saying whatever they need to and they have a third part administrator handle the claims and I would venture to say that 90% or more claims are turned down because of them specifically not listing parts and therefore it isn't covered. I am better off now saving the monthly payment and using it to pay for repairs rather than hassle with every single claim that is filed. It is a very shady operation and it is no wonder that a class action suit has been filed because of their practices.
Sorry to hear there may have been confusion about your coverage. We can only cover the parts listed on your policy. There also has to be a verified failure seen by the claims administrator in order for them to confirm and pay for any repairs. We guarantee our parts for the life of your contract, so the shop doesn't have to warranty the part, only the work they perform. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

-Nothing was resolved in favor of the consumer.
-CarShield did not offer service repairs owed to consumer on our vehicle.
-And CarShield kept all the money, on three policies for three months. (nearly $1000)
CarShield did not do that either and kept our money and did not pay for service on our vehicle cost us another $993. In order to get use of our vehicle and get it back.
This is further unsettling and very wrong.
Updated on 10/06/2022: Do not deal with CarShield. Continuance of prior review and update: As, of today, we have pursued complaints with FTC, BBB, and testified on carshield website and etc. In light of doing all that, "Carshield has blocked us from making honest testimony on their site and/or Facebook (in their ads). So, that consumers do not see anything negative and all that is truthful about carshield's fraud. "All that may prevent sales, prevent ongoing consumer abuses".! Because carshield does/will relentless ignore consumer claims, insistently continue with its false advertise, will wrongfully add harassment to consumer daily life!
Carshield has called here four times by noon, "To offer more abuse (does consistently on phone calls) and does completely ignores written responses--to the customer? Ask yourselves, why? "Carshield will not/did not/does not honor anything carshield states and carshield is actually further misleading and entrapping the consumer. As it holds our vehicle hostage (4wks to date without use) by failing to pay on claim. While, after being served written notice due to carshield's full neglect to services, carshield does.... Continues to take consumer money for their fraudulent premiums!"
Furthermore, carshield will refuse to refund premiums (all carshield has wrongfully taken "Due to carshield's neglect ---to providing services owed and repairs") wrongfully taken from your accounts, no matter what you provide to them in writing. Avoid phone conversations that will not provide positive outcome but more wrongful harassment and total ignorance.
Original: We pursued CarShield based on its (now know false ads and false positive review on the website) celebrity endorsements and and website reviews and because we are/were in desperate need of repairs to our vehicles and could not afford to pay --full out of pocket. All, that CarShield says it does offer, in all its ads, and what it says to assured customers.. At providing quoting price for premiums. So, based on all affirmation and disclosures provided we decided to purchase 3 policies and pay on three premiums on monthly bases to assure that our vehicles would be fixed, when needed.
A month in a half later we did unfortunately need repair to one of our vehicles and filed a claim with Carshield. Carshield immediate caused complication, made demands for review, contradiction to all its advertised and says through celebrities' endorsements. After, meeting all their undisclosed demands, written documentation they demands from us, having the mechanic send them written invoice of repairs and prices to make repairs and having been made to paying an added $37.00 to the originally quoted premiums on that vehicle...?
Carshield denied our claim and refused to pay for full repairs to our vehicle as advertised and did not allow us "To only be responsible for co-pay of $100?" after a month of trying to get carshield to honor its ads, the vehicle remains being held hostage, at the mechanic's garage. Because, now after paying Carshield $982.00 on premiums (that it took regardless of denial), we can not afford to pay in full, to get car back, Carshield has and refused to return..Three months' worth of premiums "They have taken"? This is not legal procedure, is total fraud, Carshield ads by celebrities are totally misleading, Carshield is falsely advertising, and the consumer is being totally exploited by Carshield. Carshield is take from those less fortunate and in desperate need of their vehicles.
We're sorry to hear this, however, this was not the case. We have reviewed your claim and it looks like the reason the claims process took so long was that the mileage you reported for the vehicle at the time of sale of the contract was incorrect, so claims asked for service records so that they could determine what the starting mileage was supposed to be first. Once those were sent in and the mileage was updated correctly, the claim was authorized and approved for the components that were eligible for coverage under the contract. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

Car Shield Customer Service agents are polite and very knowledgeable, that's the only good thing about Car Shield. I owned a Jeep Cherokee, and had car CarShield for 4 months when my Jeep broke down with a service transmission and check engine light at my local Chrysler dealership. When I bought my policy I was informed that I can take my Jeep to any official FCA Dealership to have my vehicle repaired. It turned out after speaking with every Chrysler Dealership in north Metro Detroit, they all informed me that they no longer accept CarShield.
I called Customer Service they located another shop 5 miles away, but after talking to the shop manager myself, he informed me that he does not do transmission work. I called Customer Service again. They found a transmission shop that was 18 miles away that located in below I-696 and on Gratiot Ave. I am familiar with that area my family used live in that area over 30 years ago, and it's a very impoverished and unsafe part of Metro Detroit even 30 years later. I had to wait over 4 hours to get a tow truck move my car to the transmission shop. I later on learned from a friend that lived in the area and local reviews, that the transmission shop was notorious for jerry rigging vehicles and charging customer's for unneeded repairs. They took over a week to look at my vehicle, they said that nothing was wrong with the transmission but they found a EVAP code for a O2 sensor.
They informed me that they were solely a Transmission shop which was not the truth, this same shop worked on my friend's car that had needed engine and suspension work. I paid the 75 dollar inspection fee which is not covered by CarShield and the shop informed that my Jeep was drivable. At this point I gave up having my car fixed through CarShield, and I contacted a local mechanic that I trusted to inspect and fix my Jeep.
I contacted CarShield Roadside Assistance for another tow truck to move my Jeep since I did not want to risk another break down and don't trust the advise of the Transmission shop. Called 11:15 am, I was promised by the Tow Truck Company's dispatch a 1 hour wait, but I was left stranded for almost 8 hours in an unsafe area. I called the tow truck company 8 times with no answer. After 6 hours I called Roadside Assistance to dispatch a different truck. They ended rebooking with same Tow company that left me stranded all this time. At this point contact my family to help me move my Jeep another shop. About 2 hours later my brother, mother, and I limped my Jeep to next shop over 14 miles away. I got my Jeep fixed by my Mechanic which I paid out of pocket.
From my experience, I can tell you that Car Shield Roadside assistance is unreliable and you are better off using AAA Roadside assistance. Car Shield's Technician network is very limited, especially if you own a Stellantis/Chrysler product in Metro Detroit. There no more Chrysler dealerships with ASE Mechanics in Metro Detroit that will accept CarShield. The very few shops that they have available for covered transmission work in Metro Detroit are either over 3 weeks behind on services or known for poor workmanship. CarShield is not worth the cost, you are honestly better off finding another warranty Company or paying for the repair yourself at a trusted mechanic.
We're so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, our claims administrator's Roadside Assistance department is only responsible for locating companies in your area that are able to provide towing services, provide them with your information and send them your way, but if there was an issue with the tow company getting to you, it is their specific tow company that did not provide you with good service, and we are very sorry to hear about that. As far as dealerships not wanting to work with us, unfortunately, it's not usually the reasons you 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 and our 17 years in business. Not to mention our claims department pays out over $5 million in claims every month. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to give us a call anytime.

It’s scary they say if they deny it then I will have to pay $1200 for it but I haven’t breached my contract in any way so I don’t see any possible way that could happen so I’m scheduling it today!

I purchased CarShield after a pricey repair ($1600.00+). When it was time for more repairs, I called CarShield and asked what to do prior to bringing my car in. I was instructed to bring the car in to the repair shop and give the person checking me in numbers to reach CarShield and start a claim. I was told by the CarShield representative that would be all I needed to do. This was in the beginning of August (8/8/22). After leaving my car in the repair shop for a few days, I received a call from the shop with estimates on when parts would arrive, and work would be done (late September). I was also told they couldn't get in touch with anyone at CarShield to start a claim and find out what was needed which prompted me to call CarShield for help.
I was told by CarShield the repair shop needed to send documentation. This is something that should have been communicated between CarShield. I relayed the information to the repair shop who informed me CarShield was not very responsive. Five weeks later, the repair shop called me to say my car was ready however they've not had any communication with CarShield. Again, I called CarShield to see what was holding up the process and was told the repair shop should reach out to the adjustor with a final invoice and after 2 hours, payment would be send. As this was the end of the day, the repair shop and I agreed to speak in the morning. Again, I relayed the information, and the invoice was sent.
The next day I checked in with the repair shop to see if payment had been received so I could pick up my car and found no payment had been received. Both the repair shop and I called CarShield. I spoke to representatives who said they'd check on it. After getting off the phone with CarShield, I received a phone call from the dealership stating, "I'm so sorry to tell you this but CarShield is saying they aren't paying the claim because the work was not approved. When I asked them why they didn't tell us what they needed, the person on the phone replied, 'It's in her contract'". NO ONE at CarShield mentioned this to the repair shop nor did they tell me when I called (as I shouldn't have had to).
I immediately called CarShield and received someone who spoke to an adjustor and confirmed the claim was denied because work was done prior to approval. I asked how this could be possible as both the repair shop and I were in communication with CarShield through the entire experience. The reply I received was, "Sorry, it's in your contract". That day I ended my contract with such a SCANDALOUS company. Needless to say, in order to get my car, I had to pay $1900.00
We do apologize to hear about your situation, however, this is not completely accurate. We show that there were only three communications between you and the claims department before the repairs were performed without authorization. One was the shop calling in to start the claim, where they were asked for a diagnostic and estimate to be sent in. Documents were sent in and uploaded to the file. You called in asking for an update and were advised that the documents were under review. Once they were reviewed, claims spoke one more time with the shop letting them know that the documents they sent in were service records, not a diagnostic and estimate that was originally requested. So, it was requested again. The next time we heard from anyone was halfway through September and the repairs had already been performed on the vehicle. We do apologize, however, it appears that this denial was based on a lack of communication from the shop and them not sending in the proper documentation that was requested the very first time they called in. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

Great service. We were only in the warranty for a short time so we never know really. Got to use it because we bought a new car and it came with a 7 year warranty with another company. We would recommend this company to anyone because we believe that it is a good one.
We're definitely sorry to see you go and appreciate your time to leave a review. If you ever want a start back up with us, we're just a phone call away!

Several needed repairs were denied by your adjuster that was confirmed would be covered by your "Slick Sales Team". To say the least, I am very disappointed and upset beyond belief. What has happened to the real "CUSTOMER SERVICE" industry. You tell people what they want to hear, sell them on your service, then screw them when it comes time for a repair. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE and POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE!!!!
We do apologize, however, none of the information that you provided pulled up a policy for you. Please call customer service as soon as possible so we can attempt to assist you.

The purchase was easy and well explained. The only thing I don't understand is that I got a lower price from the first agent that I spoke to 2 weeks before I made this contract with your company. Other than that, so far so good. I hope that my car gets a good service if it ever requires.

Paid their price for 6 + months on 2012 truck...Repairs were 2 thousand and Car Shield paid only 200, truck has low mileage, well cared for. I did not think it was fair, I had given them 6 or 8 hundred bucks in monthly payments, and all they would pay was 200. I do not believe they will get any more of my money.

This company is horrible and its goal is to collect your premiums without paying claims. My husband took out a policy after we purchased a used vehicle. A few months later, the vehicle broke down and required a new motor. The vehicle was towed to a repair facility using our roadside assistance (luckily) and a claim was initiated. The mileage was questioned and if we hadn't had a receipt for towing with the actual mileage listed, our claim would have been denied right there. After THREE months of constant calls and requests and jumping through hoops, today our claim was denied. You may ask why....well, the contract may cover replacing a motor, but it will only cover if there is actually no reason for the motor to need replacement. The contract doesn't cover hoses, and because one busted and caused the motor to run hot, they won't replace the motor. Do not waste your money.

Broken suspension rods and pins to be replace, found out when having garage doing annual oil change and car inspection for the year. Did not know the pins in rods were missing (broken) and thus breakage of rods resulted. So, had garage call to see if rods were covered under policy to help pay the $280 that came unexpected to my budget.

This claim has been dragging on for 3+ weeks. Sent maintenance records, photos of the car, diagnostic from repair shop and someone went out there on Friday to look at it. Yesterday I was advised the adjuster now want the engine torn which will be paid by me - $1100! I am waiting for a call back from adjuster to explain why he wants this now. I doubt I will receive a response. I'm telling people I know don't believe the commercials car shield Is very difficult to work with.

I was completely misled when I signed up with a CarShield. A woman on the phone was very insistent on me covering my second vehicle which I really was not interested in. She talked me into it and basically told me that everything would be covered on it even though it’s a 2004 except for the air conditioning. I had some repairs that need to be made that are looking at about $1300 involved in power steering pump, gas pedal and window switch and motor. They are not covering anything on that. They said just transmission and motor. My transmission motor is fine.
We're sorry to hear this, however, we can assure you that you were not misled. Out sales representatives are highly scripted and monitored to make sure that the correct information is given to each and every customer. It is unfortunate when a needed repair isn't listed for coverage on your policy. Hopefully we can help you on the next one!

I received a letter showing the coverage was quite a bit more reasonable at ($99 per month with customer ID **) than the quote I got just a few days before. Spoke with Deanna and Brandon **. Originally $146.36 per month. Was able to drop to $124.48. Because of the car I have (2011 Cadillac CTS). Only income is social security. The reduction does help, although the advertisement letter showed $99 per month for the platinum plan. (Same as I signed up for.)
We do apologize, however that is just a general advertisement and it does state "As low as $99". The price of the plan depends on the year, make, model, mileage of the vehicle as well as other factors such as state taxes and labor rates in your area. We do work with you the best we can to get you the cheapest cost possible. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.
