Wait time on repairs done. The dealer in my area have issues with the wait time on payments. The last time that my truck was in the shop it took three months. The dealer stated that they prefer not to deal with CarShield because of the hold up. That was my only problem. Being without my truck for three months.

My experience with Car Shield so far has been excellent. No problems and very nice people skills when I’m on the phone with customer service and thanks so much for everything. Both cars. It’s so nice to know you have coverage on your vehicles because sometimes you just don’t have it to pay out of pocket and I thank you for car shield and just knowing that I will be taken care of.

On October 27, 2021, I Spoke to a representative about coverage for my 2016 GMC Arcadia vehicle. I was told that someone will get back to me within 24 hours with an answer to my question. The representative was very professional and courteous. I will refer others to Car Shield. That is all I have to say about Car Shield right now.

Accessing the benefits was relatively easy and customer service was great. I was surprised by the $100.00 deductible. It could be I overlooked the “fine print”, but I don’t remember being told about a deductible. I’ve reduced the monthly cost a couple of times and still consider it a somewhat pricey “insurance”, but I may feel differently if I ever have a MAJOR repair need.
We are happy to hear that you are mostly satisfied with your coverage. We do apologize for any misunderstanding about the deductible, but we can assure you that was gone over with you at the time you purchased the coverage, as our sales department is heavily scripted and monitored for that reason. If you have any other questions about your coverage, don't hesitate to give us a call. We would be more than happy to go over that with you. Thank you.

I bought the Car Shield Premium package for $129.99 a month. After 16 months, my check engine light came on on my dash. I took my SUV into the Chevy Dealership and found that the timing chain needed to be replaced. Car Shield required that I show them all of my past maintenance records including oil changes. The Chevy dealership showed the records. Three (3) weeks later the Car Shield Tech denied my claim saying that I had driven my SUV for 9,000 miles since the timing chain issue first showed up. I had no idea that the timing chain was broken because the engine light did not show on my dash.
I had already paid Car Shield $2,079.84 in monthly payments. The S.S. Tech had the Dealership remove more engine panels. The Chevy Dealer told me that Chevy did not know how the C.S. Tech could prove that the Chain had broken 9,000 miles earlier. I did not rent a car. I did not have my SUV towed. I just drove it into the Chevy Dealership the first time that the Check Engine light showed up on my dash. It then cost me $3,088.00 to put the engine back in order.
We are sorry to hear about this situation. We did review the claim and the inspection report stated that the freeze frame data on your vehicle showed codes concerning a timing issue to have been active for over 9,000 miles. This information came directly from your vehicle. We do apologize for any misunderstanding. Hopefully, we can cover the next one!

Needed expensive power steering repair. MECHANIC's bad experience w/ you, so didn't want to deal with you. So I paid, then was intimated to try to request payment. It cost over $1,000. A past repair over $2,000 wasn't covered. Feel stupid that I pay for something I don't understand and haven't been able to use.

I had to take my car to the dealer to have the electric box done for the windows they fixed it with no problems. I've had several repairs made with no problems except I can never get a rental for the time my car is being repaired.
We are happy to hear we were able to help you out with your claim. Rental is given based on the time it takes to repair the vehicle. If the repair is only verified for less than 4 hours worth of labor, no rental car would be provided. Anything more than 4 hours may be eligible for rental depending on the total number of hours. If you have anymore questions about that, please don't hesitate to give us a call!

We purchased the Platinum coverage for our 2008 Land Rover. Took it in for a what we thought was a wiring problem, however, there was an issue with a valve cover gasket. And to our surprise, Carshield will not cover. We had trouble finding a mechanic who would even take Carshield, because we were told they are very slow at paying. And garages don't want to hassle with them. However, we did find someone finally. The owner of the shop has been very helpful, Carshield did not believe that all the repairs they listed were necessary, so they sent out an inspector. The inspector said they were necessary and after being without a car for a week, because Carshield would not respond quickly, Carshield now says they will not cover the labor or valve cover gasket. Labor and part is over $1,200. So basically, they will decide if they will cover or not. So not only am I out the cost of the monthly warranty, I am going to be out $1,200. Thanks for nothing Carshield.
We're sorry to hear this. It is unfortunate when a needed repair isn't listed for coverage on your policy. We do see that we were still able to get the eligible parts authorized for over $700. Hopefully we can help you on the next one as well!

If you are contemplating this coverage for your Canadian registered car, remember that they only accept SAE Approved garages that are far and few in between in Canada because SAE is a US based certifying body, however they do approve OEM Repair shops which means all you have to do is to take your vehicle to one of its dealerships near you.

My husband's work van has been sitting at a shop since Wednesday, today is Friday and we’re still waiting for an approval/authorization. He is the sole provider and hasn’t been able to work due to this long delay in simply giving the shop the go ahead. CarShield claims you get that approval within 24 hours-not 3 days and counting. When his alternator went Wednesday, he called them to be sure it’s covered. He was told yes it’s covered and to go ahead and take it to the shop. There it sits waiting for such a simple thing as an ok (which he basically had already been told).
My husband has been working 7 days and now will be out these 3 days (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) as well as Saturday, Sunday, Monday.…until someone at CarShield decides to do what we pay for each month and get it going. We have had to use them in the past and that experience was great, this time around-we are absolutely disgusted. Not only are they taking their sweet time (and bringing home a paycheck) but the customer service reps he’s talked with have been outright rude. Maybe we (and others) should consider another company who cares about their customers.

We paid $400 a month to CarShield for an extended warranty on 2 vehicles. When it came time to file a claim for our air conditioning in a high mileage Ford 2019 pickup, it was a complete hassle. They required the car dealer to run multiple diagnostic tests running up our bill at the dealer and then when a cause was determined they would not authorize the repair. Instead on a Thursday, they insisted on delaying any repair until at least Monday to send their inspector to the dealer to do an independent evaluation of the parts to see if they would cover any or all of the repair. I suggest foregoing a warranty and just saving that money in a repair fund because this is nothing more than a con in my opinion intended to either not cover claims or frustrate those with legitimate claims into not pursuing them by purposely delaying repairs.

Since joining CarShield I have had to drive many miles in the past 11 months (due to multiple family member deaths in various states). During one trip to South Carolina the engine light came on and I brought my truck to Dereck's Auto Repair at 9968 Choctaw Dr., Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70815 (225-218-0283). Dereck called CarShield and established that I had a contract with Carshield; however, after calling and waiting for call backs for someone to tell him how his shop would be paid, he returned my vehicle without making repairs.
My next move was to go to Hollingsworth Richards Ford (Dealership - 7787 Florida, Blvd. Baton Rouge, La. 70806 - 225-228-6436) for repairs. The service person at HollingsWorth informed me that they did not have a working relationship with CarShield. In the meantime the condition of my vehicle deteriorated. After a trip to Dallas + Houston Texas I contacted CarShield and reported the problems I have had while trying to get my vehicle repaired. The Customer Service person apologized and assured that my vehicle would be repaired.
I was given the names of several vendors in Baton Rouge and I chose Precision Tune Auto Care (225-293-2886), 2528 Sherwood Forest Blvd. Baton Rouge, La. for repairs. Contact was made and CarShield authorized the checkup for repairs. It was determined that my vehicle had several fuel system breakdown issues; however, CarShield did not authorize the repairs due to the fact that the vehicle condition worsened because it was not repaired in a timely manner. In my discussion with a repairman at Precision Tune I learned that my vehicle's fuel system problems could have been repaired before they worsened if it had been checked when the vehicle was brought to Dereck's. I submit that my efforts to get repairs at Dereck's and HollingsWorth were timely efforts and CarShield did not properly respond. Not only did CarShield fail to repair my vehicle, but I had to pay $142.50 for the examination.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT GET CARSHIELD!!! IF I COULD LEAVE A -0 RATING, I WOULD! My car has been at the original dealer since Sept. 20, 2021. They explained to me after the first two days of my car being there that my transmission was failing. Like most dealers, Cadillac rather replace the entire transmission versus taking more time and money to pull the transmission apart and find the problem. Cadillac explained that to Carshield the same day I received the information. Immediately, Carshield went GHOST! NO ONE reached back to my dealership in regards to the repair. I hadn't heard anything either so I called my dealership. They said they had not heard back from Carshield and have left several messages for the adjuster. I then called out and left a message with a rep at Carshield because they refuse to transfer you directly to the adjuster about YOUR CAR.
Whatever information they withhold seems to be "top secret" and you'll never speak directly to the adjuster about what's happening with the claim. The following day, my dealership sent an email to Carshield, copying myself and the Service Dept. Manager about the issue of no contact. Still receiving no answer that day or the next, I took it upon myself to call Carshield myself AGAIN. They explained this was way too long that the claim has been going on and the matter would be escalated to Stephen **'s (my adjuster) supervisor. Just this Tuesday 10/5/21 Cadillac reached out to me and explained exactly what the adjust explained to them. Please see the exact email sent below:
*******BEGINNING OF EMAIL******* The situation with your vehicle is the transmission is as follows.-Delayed shift or no shift conditions /check engine light on. Codes found to be P0989- transmission fluid pressure switch 5 circuit low. This condition can be caused by a few situations. The valve body internal of the transmission could be electronically shorted which looks to have burned/ seized up 4th and 5th gears . Further tear down would be required (at your expense) to isolate specific failure point.
Yesterday American Auto Shield called us back from last week. After speaking with powertrain team at American Auto Shield I found out that once the specific point of failure is located they will need to inspect/verify for coverage. If it winds up being the electrical valve body it will not be covered according to Stephen at American Auto Shield as you do not have electrical coverage. If after the transmission is removed and taken apart (again at your expense) and we find that a clutch is burned out and that is the main point of failure they may cover the component that failed and some associated labor however the additional parts required for subsequent damage and associated labor will be your responsibility.
So for example if the failed part was a clutch and the overhaul of the transmission costs $5000.00 and the clutch replacement is covered by them they would pay lets say $1000.00. The balance of repair is yours. Again these are sample prices. Not actual. We here at Cadillac are recommending a transmission replacement from Cadillac. It comes with a 3 year /100000 mile warranty from GM. The replacement costs would be $5865.00 + tax. We would not want to attempt a repair/overhaul of your current transmission due to its mileage and likely cost of repairs of $6300.00+ tax. We could only warranty the parts installed for 1 year and not the whole transmission. Again this is not a option for us to rebuild the transmission.
If you would like us to look for a used transmission from a salvage supplier we can do so and let you know the results of what and if we find and prices. American Auto Shield will be looking for your records of the vehicle maintenance as well as a towing invoice for this vehicle on this visit. If you want to move forward with a replacement unit new or salvage please let us know.
If you want to attempt a overhaul of the unit you may want to look to AAMCO for transmission overhaul and dealing with American Auto Shield directly as again we will not attempt a overhaul on this transmission. Your current charges to us for Diagnostics to date is $315.00 + tax. We stopped looking at that point to not further expense you. We ask that you review this information and please make a decision so we can move forward or you can pay your diagnostics and remove your vehicle to a transmission only facility as we do not have room to sit on vehicles that are not in for repair. ******END OF EMAIL*******
With all of this in mind, this means that Carshield rather take up the extra time and MORE money to pull apart my transmission and "find the problem" rather than replace the transmission in full for less month all together (A SERVICE THAT THE RAPPER ICE TEA BRAGS ABOUT ON TV). Keep in mind, that if they find the issue not be "covered" or "under warranty" then I'll have to pay EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF THIS MORE EXPENSIVE CHARGE OUT OF POCKET. 9 times out of 10 if I take the time to have my dealer pull apart the transmission, find the problem, their adjuster comes out to "inspect" and miraculously find out that the issue isn't "covered." Which is absolute insane!
As you can read from above my dealer rather not deal with my car or Carshield at this point. It's taken WAAYYYY too long to communicate about a vehicle that should have been squared away. They referenced another shop to break down the transmission in order to find the problem, IF that's what I decided to do and go the way Carshield would like. I've been paying Carshield for almost 2 years and this is the 2nd issue with my vehicle that they have weaseled their way out of paying for and I'm done with it! I CANCELLED TODAY AND I WANT ALL OF MY PAYMENTS BACK!! There's no true coverage for your vehicle through Carshield and it's a SCAM to get monthly payments out of folks that just want to do right by their vehicles. This is WRONG on every level and I've never been so disappointed behind a company like this. I demand to speak to someone in corporate. Especially in regards to a refund.
The day you're late with a payment the nonstop calls start and a payment is NEEDED right away. Funny because since my car has been at the dealer I haven't received that same sense of urgency. I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS COMPANY AND WOULD LIKE FOR MARK TRAVIS (Carshield's Owner) IN MISSOURI TO READ THIS AND REFUND ME!!!!

I have called almost every day after 2 weeks passed and to the date there has been 5 escalations.
Yet, I was told again today (10/01/21) that the adjuster has till tonight. The repair technician called me to see if I can get someone to have the adjuster respond to him. He states that no one will call him back or respond to his emails. I can't get a rental until they approve it. This is so wrong on so many levels. I want corporate involved immediately please.

I have had 2 warrantees with Carshield, 1 on each of my vehicles for several years, which I have never used until recently. I first call CarShield to make sure they would covered the repairs on this vehicle in question and was told they did, (AC & Power Window Moter). I put my vehicles in for a passenger side power window and AC repair, both of which had stopped working. First I found out from my service center that CarShield would only cover after market parts for repairs, which I was not made aware of when they sold me the policies. Considering one of my vehicles is a Mercedes, this is unacceptable. But, 3 weeks later with my other vehicle still in the shop, I called my service center again to find out the status. I was told that they we still waiting on approval to replace the AC compressor due to compressor leaks.
Finally today, I received a call from their service center saying that CarShield would not cover the compressor because the compressor was still functioning, but would not hold a charge due to a leak or leaks, so basically, no AC. I called CarShield about this and they said that they did not cover leaks due to failed gaskets on the compressor. They only cover the compressor if it fails to function. It is my opinion that this company is the worst in and will use any technicality to not have to cover any repair work. I have since cancelled both of my warrantees and would advise people to stay clear of this company.

I had an awesome experience with Carshield over three months ago maybe Four but they paid for my engine to be completely replace. Car shield receives such a bad reputation from Mechanics who are just in the business to make money. I would advised anybody to get Carshield, however my claim would not have been covered if I wouldn't have read the contract. When buying these policies Customers need to realize and read what they bought into. If they don't like it from the beginning don't be in. My Malibu is a 2012 with 128k miles when I got the coverage and not everything is covered but my engine was covered because it covers timing chains and at the end of the day the parts that are covered will outweigh the parts that are not covered because they are either more little or easier to afford. Carshield is amazing and I would have them any other way.
