CarShield's enrollment process was easy. I was impressed with the price for what you get. The representative that I spoke with not long ago was very knowledgeable. I did a claim for our oil pan. They had to replace it. It was warped. The claim was approved the same day that the Chevrolet place turned it in, and it took them three days to get it fixed. Overall, having this protection plan gives me less stress when driving.
We love hearing that CarShield has helped you feel more at ease behind the wheel! It’s wonderful that your claim moved quickly and you were back on the road in just a few days. Thank you for sharing such a positive experience!

CarShield is worth it because our cars would break down. If you're out of cash when that happens, you can get it repaired thru CarShield and you wouldn’t have a lump sum of money to take out. Plus, they could give you a rental car and pay for it while you're still stuck wherever you are. Then, they cover any repairs in your car, except for oil change. I have been with them for four months now and the customer service rep I spoke to was very knowledgeable.
Thank you for sharing your experience with CarShield! We're delighted to know that our coverage has provided peace of mind with your vehicle repairs. It's great to hear that your interaction with our knowledgeable representative was positive. We strive to make the process as convenient as possible, whether it's with repair coverage or rental car support when needed.

My car's coolant system started to overheat on the Friday evening before Labor Day weekend (9/4/2026). My dashboard flashed "engine overheat" alert. So, I pulled into Publix parking, popped the hood. The coolant reservoir was empty. I refilled it, picked up some groceries and drove home.
On Saturday morning (9/5/2026), I needed to run some errands. Before driving, I checked the coolant reservoir and again, it was empty. At that point, I realized there had to be a leak somewhere. I refilled the reservoir with coolant, completed the errand, returned home and decided it wise to remain at home over the holiday weekend, safe and quiet. In the meantime, I researched and left voice messages with three mechanics to call me back on Tuesday as to whether they accepted CarShield.
On Tuesday 9/8/2026, I called the three mechanics, One did not answer, so I left another message. The 2nd mechanic did not accept CarShield. The third mechanic said yes. So, I called CarShield to verify whether my platinum plan covered towing, it did and they said it would take an hour to arrive. However, the tow truck arrived with a flatbed in less than 15 minutes. Car was delivered to Clark Automotive.
Long story short, the mechanic sent the diagnostic to CarShield who approved the claim on the work to be done. I had some out-of-pocket expenses, but I was very satisfied with the expediency from both CarShield as well as with the completed work done by Clark Automotive. Additionally, I rented car from Budget on Tuesday afternoon 9/8/2026 and returned the vehicle on Thursday morning 9/10/2026. My car was ready for pickup at 4 pm. Today, Thursday, 9/16/2026, I submitted the receipts for reimbursements for 3 Lyft rides, car rental and receipt from the gas station to refill the rental car. Thanks.
Tracy, we love hearing how smoothly everything came together, from the quick tow to getting your car back on the road! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re just a call away if you need anything down the road.

You can't go wrong with CarShield. Since I don't like shopping and they were the first place that I called when I needed an extended warranty, I signed up with them. I've submitted a couple of claims and they were on the money. They did what they said that they would do and I was very satisfied. But I canceled my contract today because my truck got totaled. If my truck hadn't got totaled, I would still be a client. Overall, our relationship was great and I enjoyed them. They took care of me.
Ronald, thank you for such a heartfelt recommendation! We’re glad CarShield came through for you when repairs were needed, and we appreciate the time you spent with us. If another vehicle comes along, we’d love to welcome you back!

I began with Carshield late last year. I purchased the vehicle used, so I was a little hesitant on having a good warranty for the vehicle and my daughter has Carshield. When I placed a claim for the tie rod, I called the number, and they referred me to a repair place. Our interactions were very good. The process took four days and it went very well. On the other hand, I keep getting stuff for the home extended warranty and I keep saying, “No, no, no.” Having too much ads for that is a little irritating.
Brenda, we’re happy to hear your first claim with CarShield went so well! We understand that repeated home warranty offers are unwanted, and contacting the company sending them directly will allow you to request an update to your communication preferences.

Needed front steering control arms replaced as they are worn out evident by the hard bounce when going over bumps and squeak, creaking noises heard when turning. CarShield adjuster repeatedly asked for additional proof the shop had already provided. The shop ultimately told me they would not be able to continue with repairs due to the difficulty working with car shield. I was charged $195 for the documents sent to car shield with nothing to show for it. This is unacceptable.
Jimmy, thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. The documentation received did not clearly confirm a component failure, so the Claims team requested additional information to complete the review.

My cars no longer have their manufacturer warranty. A couple of vehicles I have have known issues that occur, and I want them to be covered in case those issues do come up. I got a 2021 Ford Expedition and a 2014 Ford Focus covered with CarShield. I had no problems getting signed up. I hate to be mean, but their reps were English-speaking. I didn't have to try to understand them or them understand me. So, it was good customer service. I’d give them a 5 on that. CarShield offers good discounts for veterans. I got another discount for being a member of USAA. On my 2014, they gave me new car coverage because it had low miles on it, which I thought was really cool.
Thank you for the five stars, John! We’re glad you felt comfortable asking questions and found coverage and pricing you were happy with for both vehicles. If you’d like to go over anything in your plans, give us a call!

I thought CarShield had a good reputation, so I went with them. As far as claims with them, we had to have motor mounts replaced on our Audi Q7 because the ones around there were cracked. That was a hazard because we didn't want the engine to bust loose. The repair facility which specializes in Audis and Mercedes got approval from CarShield's office to do the work. They did the work, and I'm happy. The repair facility did all the coordination. I just gave them the information from CarShield, member number, and they did all the contact. They called me one day and said, “Hey, it's been approved. We'll order the motor mounts for you.” I've been totally happy with the experience I've had. I ended up having to pay a little bit more out of my pocket for the repair, but it was still very reasonable.
Charles, we’re so glad your first repair experience gave you another reason to feel good about choosing CarShield! Having the details handled while your Audi was in the shop makes life a little easier. Thank you for letting us know how it went!

I purchased a truck from a co-worker that already had 250,000 miles on it, and CarShield was the only company that would provide coverage for the vehicle. The truck runs well, but it's in the shop right now because it's having issues when I turn on the air conditioning. Sometimes it makes the engine sputter and die. As long as I don't run the AC, the truck runs strong and shifts smoothly. I've been covered by CarShield for about four months. The sign-up process was fairly easy. They asked some basic questions about the vehicle, and because of how many miles were on it, I only qualified for one package. It covers me up to $10,000, which is fine because I'm not looking to soup the truck up. I just want to keep it running and keep the engine strong.
I did some research, and there are a lot of people saying CarShield is a scam and a lot of people are saying they're not. It's about 50-50. I haven't put them to the test yet but we'll find out when the shop calls me back with the diagnosis and I see how easily the process moves forward from there. If they help me with this and stand by their product, I'll keep my contract going with them. But if I get the runaround over a major repair, that'll probably be the end of my contract and I won't renew. Vehicles aren't cheap. It's a huge strain and one of the biggest benefits of having coverage like this is knowing your vehicle is protected. So, as long as CarShield stands by what they say, it's perfect.
Brandon, we understand you want to feel confident that your coverage will be there when you need it. Knowing which parts are listed in your contract and how the claims process works can help you understand what to expect as the shop completes its diagnosis.

I had an extended warranty by GWC, and they wouldn't fix anything I needed. So, I switched to Carshield. It was the first website on the search engine and when I called them, they said, “After three months, we'll fix your sunroof and EGR system.” The price is okay, but I didn't shop around for price because I wanted somebody that would cover the repairs I needed done. Signup was smooth and the person who signed me up was really pleasant and answered all my questions. I told them what I needed, then I gave them my credit card number, and the payments started coming out immediately. Now, I'm still waiting for another half a month, so I haven't had any work done yet. I highly recommend Carshield.

I'm changing from CarShield to a different company. Even if I have had a problem with my car and I'm supposed to have a $200 deductible, my deductible was $350. I'm not too happy about that. The claim was for a turbo sensor. The dealership contacted CarShield. They told the dealer it was higher because they didn't allow for the extra work that had to be done on it. So, it wasn't an easy fix, but they only allow so much. Overall, I just got the runaround. It's cost me more to do business with them than the parts.

Got a call from Carshield a week or so ago. The sales person told me a lot of stuff in a feverish rush to overwhelm me. I said I would like to review the contract to see what is, what is not covered and other things. I requested a copy of the written contract, showing what is and what is not covered in the contract. This is a reasonable request and any buyer should check before buying. The Carshield Agent refused, and told me if I want to review the contract, I have to buy the product first. That sent up an immediate red flag. Buy the policy and later find out it doesn't cover the problem. I replied, "can I cancel if I don't like what I see?" The reply was, "once you buy it, you can see what it covers." Based on this, I will avoid doing business with these people.
Ed, we understand why you wanted to review the coverage and exclusions before making a decision. We apologize that the conversation felt rushed and left you without the clarity you were looking for. Once enrolled, customers receive the full contract and have a designated review period to cancel for a full refund under the applicable terms. If you are open to another conversation, please call us at 1-800-587-4162 so our team can take the time to explain the coverage, exclusions, and cancellation period clearly.

I filed a claim with CarShield, but the claim hasn't been satisfied yet. The car is still in the shop. The engine light came on. I was always told that when that engine light comes on like that, do not continue to drive it. I called CarShield, and they told me to have it towed. So, it was towed to Ford, Basil Ford, on June 24th, and it needed some other things done to it that were not covered under the maintenance. I had all of that done, and I paid for that.
But once they finished, the engine light continued to come on. Then they said it was fixed. I picked it up. I got on the highway. And there was a rumbling type of situation going on. So, I ended up having to take it back. And since then, it's been in and out of Basil Ford. And right now, they still have it. They said they don't know how to fix it.
I spoke with them recently, and they said that different technicians have worked on it. Then they picked me up. I rode with them in the car to let them know what I was hearing when I drove it. So, different things have been happening. It keeps going back because of the engine light. Every time they say it's fixed, I go pick it up, and the engine light comes back on. If I go and I drive 10 miles today and I park it, then the next day, when I get ready to drive, the engine light is back on.
They've been trying to fix the engine light, but I feel this whole thing is just so unacceptable. If you have to provide a service to figure out what's wrong, you can't fix the truck till you find out what the problem is. That's the problem: they can't figure out what the problem is with the truck. And I've taken great care of that truck.
Then they called, and they said, “We don't know if CarShield is going to pay for a breakdown.” I said, "I'm not paying for you guys to figure out what's wrong with the truck." He led me to believe they haven't contacted CarShield 'cause they don't really know what's wrong with it. But CarShield has been very helpful. When they contacted the towing company, they were very pleasant to work with. I don't really have a problem there.
Vanessa, we’re glad CarShield has been helpful with the towing and communication, though we understand the vehicle issue is still unresolved.

Carshield is horrible. Do not purchase their service plan! They will waste your time and money when you have a claim. Even after doing everything they request, including additional testing, they still will not cover the repair.

I got the vehicle this year in March, and the dealership got me into a service contract. I wanted to make sure I had coverage because it was my first vehicle that I purchased. I didn't realize until months later that it didn't cover anything, and it was way more expensive than CarShield. CarShield wasn't the only one that I had called, but it definitely covered more. For the price, it's definitely worth it. It's just a better deal. The male that I spoke with was really nice and very quick. He was very informative. Everything was done in 10 minutes. It was very easy. They sent me everything in the mail and all the electronic stuff. When I received the stuff in the mail, it definitely helped clear everything up. So, it was nice.

I've been a customer with CarShield since September of 2023. I've been putting claims in since 2024. We did twice this year. The claims process has been good. The only thing is I get a lot of miscommunication between the service writer and the CarShield. I don't know what they try to figure out. I try to always get the original part, but then there's always a confusion with the original part all the time. So, that's the only problem I have. Other than that, everything's been good. They accept the claim. They work on the claim.
I didn't even know I had a rental thing that I just found out this year. So, I rented a car, and they sent me a check for the reimbursement of the rental. So, everything else has been good except for that part with the parts. CarShield did call me one time about the part, and they told me that it was gonna be the original part, but it was gonna be $30 out of my pocket. They only covered so much, like $90 and I had to pay the $30 difference.

I had contacted Car Shield regarding a potential purchase of an auto on Carvana. The female agent told me to go ahead and secure the insurance in advance so I would be covered.

You can cancel at any time, yet there are no refunds!

This has been one of the worst experiences we have had with this company. They said we could take our car to ANY repair shop, yet most won't work with them. They all say that Car Shield won't pay in a timely manner and won't pay the whole amount and that's only if they agree to pay. They actually lied about things on my interview and said they won't cover the repair because they said I drove the car after the light came on on the dash. I did have to get out of the middle of the intersection. Plus, my car did not make any funny noise or act funny. It just had a light to check the hybrid system and to park the car. Toyotas have a limp mode to allow the driver to get to a dealer. I only drove it through the intersection!! My driveway was right there.

I had a friend of mine that had gone through CarShield. It's a popular brand and I signed up with them as well. Everything went well. I did it through the app and it was easy to use.

I needed a warranty for my car because I had a major issue. Also, I'm not rich, so if something happens to my car, I might not be able to pay all that money outright. I liked CarShield and what they had to offer. Plus, my boy, Iverson, was on the commercial, so I went with it. The enrollment process was pretty easy and there were no issues. I've been with them for three months now and I would advise others to get their warranty. I haven't had to use it yet because nothing has happened to my car. But I advise somebody to do so, so they could be covered. I wish they'd allow me to get the higher one that covers more but because of the mileage on my car, they didn't allow me to get the one that covers almost everything.

I bought a used vehicle and the repairs are extensive. I have a friend who has an extended warranty and seemed happy with the results. So, I gave it a try, but it didn’t work out so well. I talked to CarShield, but the price was way too high. I also looked at Endurance. They had one flat price, but they wanted three years of that price in one lump sum. I didn't feel like doing that, although their price would have worked out to be cheaper than CarShield.
I called CarShield back, and after going back and forth, the representative came up with a price that worked for me and explained the down payment, which was over $200. However, after I signed up, I was told the monthly payment would be one amount, and then a month later I was charged about $90 more per month than what I had agreed to. When I called about it, I was told the representative who signed me up did not have authorization to offer the pricing I had been quoted. It couldn't have been a worse experience. The thing is, I don't even know if I really had any insurance with them other than the $270 they took from me. Maybe if something had happened in those couple of weeks, I would have been covered. But by the time they came to the first regular payment, I dropped them, and I'm never going back.

I had CarShield for four years. I've used them once, and that was two months ago. I called them, let them know what was going on. They're very direct. They let me know the whole process from start to finish, and I only talked to them twice throughout that interaction because they worked with the repair shop. They found a repair shop that was in my area that they worked with, and they got in touch with that shop. The shop called me. We discussed everything that was needed to be done, and they had a tow truck come pick the car up, take it to their location. I went in, signed some papers, and that was it. The repair shop worked with CarShield the whole time. CarShield covered what the issue was. I had to get a transmission replaced, and I only had to pay $100 deductible on it. I was very satisfied.
I'd recommend CarShield to anyone. It's worth having. I know that my vehicle would be covered if something happened, regardless of what it would typically cost me if I didn't have it. I told my son that a couple of days ago, because he has a vehicle that's more than five years old, that he needs to go ahead and purchase CarShield because it will cover everything on the vehicle.

I've only used CarShield once, and it was for the replacement of my side mirrors. I have blind detections on my mirrors, and they also beep when someone is getting too close. I noticed that one of my mirrors was not working. So, I took it to the dealer. They told me what the fee was. Then I called CarShield to see if it was a covered part, and it was. They recommended some shops I can take it to. I made an appointment with them. They ordered the parts because they had to replace both of them, and they installed them. It's been about a little over 30 days, and everything's going well.
The total claim process took a long time. They had my car for a week and a half. First, they could find the part, then they couldn't find the other one. They thought it was the switch, and then realized it wasn't the switch. Then they decided to replace the whole side view mirror element, and that took care of everything. It was a total of maybe three weeks from me initiating with the repair shop until getting my vehicle back. I thought I'd just pay the deductible and that would be all, but I didn't realize that CarShield doesn't pay for the taxes on those repairs.
Overall, I didn't have any problems with CarShield. My problem began with the body shop, and then being able to locate the part and getting the part installed. They were gonna give me a lesser product than what I had on the car. They were trying to do it the cheap way. I kept explaining, "No, my mirrors are heated mirrors, and they have the blind detection.” That was when they realized that the mirror that they were gonna try to put on wasn't what I initially had on. That slowed the claim up two weeks. We still got a good deal because that repair alone would have cost me close to $1,000. Even though I had to pay a little more than what I had anticipated, it was still under 150 what I had to pay. So, it did save me money.

Carshield was good until they dropped me. I got a 2012 Grand Caravan with 185,000 miles on it and they let me know that they weren't gonna renew me unless I got another car. They did the work. I love Carshield, but I'm assuming they dropped me because the car was old and the miles that are on it. I just got that car, and I didn't have any warranty on it. I've always seen the commercial and figured it'd be easier to pay a deductible than footing the whole bill if something serious come down.
At first, they gave me my rental then the last time, when the man had my car, they said I'm entitled to a rental, but I got to pay for it first, then they’ll reimburse me after 30 days. I didn't like that. I just paid my neighbor to rent me. The man had the car a little over a week, so it was an inconvenience. I got a rental from Carshield twice. After I start getting into it and the money that's being put out, they got to figure out a way to cut their losses.
When Carshield first started, they did well. They like to do aftermarket parts and the mechanics that they had working for them have to go through the wringer with them. They got aftermarket part, and the mechanic went on, bought that part himself and put it in. I never had a problem out of it since. I went back twice. They need to quit using aftermarket parts. They want to talk to the mechanic and bring them down, “Okay, you do this,” then they bargain with the mechanics that they got on their list. Carshield did well, then they had their own little problem, but I’d give them a 5.

I am extremely dissatisfied with CarShield and, after my recent experience, I would never recommend this company to anyone. I have had a CarShield contract since 2020, believing that I was paying for peace of mind and protection from expensive vehicle repairs. Unfortunately, my experience has repeatedly been the opposite. My most recent claim involving my 2016 Ford Fusion and coolant intrusion has completely reinforced my belief that CarShield is more interested in finding reasons NOT to cover repairs than honoring the protection customers pay for every month.
When I contacted CarShield about the coolant intrusion issue with my 2016 Ford Fusion, I was initially told that they would not cover the repair because there was a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) regarding the problem. I immediately questioned this because CarShield had previously repaired my son's 2017 Ford Fusion for the exact same coolant intrusion issue.
At that point, the representative put me on hold. When she returned, I was told that my son's vehicle had been covered because his model year was not included in the bulletin. I asked the representative to tell me exactly what the bulletin said. She proceeded to read the entire bulletin to me—and the bulletin specifically covered Ford Fusion model years 2014 through 2019. My son's 2017 Ford Fusion is clearly within those years. Once I pointed this out, I was placed on hold again.
When the representative returned, the explanation changed. I was then told that the reason my son's repair was covered was because his CarShield contract was different from mine. According to the representative, his contract covered a “blocked engine,” while mine supposedly did not. Again, I did not simply accept that explanation. I took the time to compare my contract with my son's contract. What I found was extremely concerning. Both contracts contain the same language regarding the exclusions for Technical Service Bulletins, and both contracts provide coverage for the engine block. I informed the representative that we had compared the contracts and that the language was the same. Once again, I was placed on hold.
At this point, I have to question what was actually happening. The explanation went from: “Your repair isn't covered because it is related to a Technical Service Bulletin.” Then: “Your son's vehicle was covered because his model year wasn't included in the bulletin.” Then, after I pointed out that his 2017 model year IS included: “His contract is different and covers a blocked engine.” Then, after I compared the contracts and pointed out that mine also covers the engine block: another hold. Every time I challenged the explanation and verified the information for myself, the reason for denying the repair seemed to change. That is unacceptable.
I understand that service contracts have exclusions and that not every repair is necessarily covered. What I do not understand or accept is being given multiple conflicting explanations for why a repair is supposedly not covered—especially when I have a very similar vehicle in my own family that CarShield previously repaired for the exact same issue. And this isn't the first time I've experienced this type of treatment from CarShield.
When my vehicle previously had a transmission problem, CarShield also made the repair process extremely difficult. They requested extensive maintenance documentation, including oil-change records and other service records. I took the time to provide the documentation they requested. Then CarShield wanted to provide the repair shop with a rebuilt transmission. The shop did not want to assume responsibility for installing a rebuilt transmission supplied by CarShield, so the shop ultimately reduced its price.
Despite supposedly having a $100 deductible, I ended up paying close to $1,000 out of pocket because there were additional items required to complete the transmission replacement that CarShield would not cover. So after years of paying monthly premiums, my experience has been that when I actually need to use the coverage, I have to fight, provide documentation, challenge explanations, and still end up paying substantially more than my deductible. CarShield advertises “Hassle-Free Repairs” in commercials featuring celebrities. My experience has been anything but hassle-free.
I feel that the contractual language regarding Technical Service Bulletins can be used as a convenient reason to deny repairs, and my recent experience has made me seriously question the way these claims are being handled. Once I pointed out that CarShield had repaired my son's vehicle for the same exact problem, the explanations kept changing.
At some point, customers should not have to become investigators just to determine whether their own vehicle is actually covered. I have paid CarShield since 2020. I have held up my end of the agreement by making my payments. I expect CarShield to hold up its end by honoring the coverage I purchased. At this point, I would honestly rather take my monthly CarShield payment and put it into a jar or savings account specifically for vehicle repairs than continue paying a company that may give me a denial, an excuse, or the runaround when I actually need the coverage. CarShield has completely lost my confidence and trust.
Based on my personal experience, I would NOT recommend purchasing a CarShield warranty/service contract. Make sure you read every word of your contract and be prepared to advocate for yourself if you ever need to file a claim. “Hassle-Free Repairs”? In my experience, that slogan is a joke. So of course I cancelled both of my policies. If I could rate a zero I would. Buyer beware.

Everyone I spoke to regarding CarShield had positive things to say about them. My parents had used them for several years with no problems getting claims approved and repairs made. My wife's car was approaching 100k miles so I purchased their "Gold" coverage plan. About 6 months after purchasing the policy, after getting an oil change done at the Ford dealership, I was informed that there were 3 leaks: 1 oil leak, 1 differential leak, and 1 heater core leak. I told them to fix it and file with Carshield. The service tech told me she would.
After putting in the claims, Carshield sent an "inspector" to view the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, they recommended denying all 3 claims. The oil and differential leaks were denied because it was only "Seepage" and considered "normal wear and tear." The heater core leak was denied because it was the hoses leaking and CS doesn't cover hose leaks. The service tech told me she was surprised that they denied covering any of the claims because in her words, "I've never had any issues with CS not covering things like that." I asked the service tech if the leaks were actual leaks and not "Seepage." She said she could see where it was dripping, so it was definitely a leak. I requested her to send more info to CS so that they could approve repairs. 3 days later and they called me to say they were still denying repairs because "seepage" wasn't covered.
I am absolutely blown away by how quickly CS found a way to deny all of my repairs A car warranty is there for unexpected repairs and to help pay for expensive issues. I had high hopes that CS would take care of me like they took care of my parents vehicle, yet the very first time I needed them, they found a way to weasel out of paying for anything. I am highly disappointed in CS and will be cancelling my warranty and telling anyone I know not to trust them.
Craig, this clearly wasn’t the outcome you expected from your first claim, and we understand why you’re disappointed.

My car is six years old, and it's got a lot of technical components, expensive engine, and transmission, so I was trying to avoid a major expense. I was drawn to CarShield due to their advertisements. I have my 2019 Camaro SS covered with CarShield. I tried to sign up the first time, and I got a call back from them, and they said, “The price is going up because your mileage has been rolled back.” I told them I'm the original owner. So, it was a big hassle to get through Carfax to get everything straight now. Then when I got back with them the second time, they still didn't want to give me the same price. I told them I got it straightened out. They finally got the original price they quoted me the first time. It was a big hassle mainly because of Carfax. I had to send CarShield all kinds of documentation, and it took about three weeks to get it straightened out. Overall, I would recommend CarShield.
Richard, we understand that getting everything straightened out took some extra time, and we appreciate you working through the documentation with us. Verifying mileage information upfront helps make sure the account is accurate and can prevent questions or issues if a future claim is filed. We’re happy everything was resolved and that you’d still recommend CarShield after the experience!

I had an awful experience with CarShield. The person was extremely pushing me to sign up with them. I was driving my car and he told me it would only take a couple of minutes and asked me to stop the car. I told him I was going out for dinner with my wife, and that this was my wife's car and I was buying her this insurance, so I wanted to talk to her before I signed up. He said he makes decisions in his house and doesn't ask his wife. I told him I needed to disconnect because I was driving to dinner on a Friday evening and didn't want to talk to him, but he kept disturbing me, so I hung up on him.
Another person called me three days later, and we decided to go with the coverage. I was given a quote and everything was nice, but then the rep realized my mileage wasn't that great, and my fee went up by about $80. That was also not nice since I had already signed everything. The rep should verify my mileage immediately, before I give any credit card information. So, it was a very bad and ugly experience.

My son told me about CarShield. He has it. I was interested in getting it because my car is old. I don't have a warranty on it. Enrolling with CarShield was easy. The technician was really good.

The car that I bought did not have an extended warranty, and I needed to put a warranty on the car.

They spoke to me in clarity about what these offers, and it was very easy to sign up. They gave me a good price of 129 a month, which I think is fair to insure a luxury vehicle.

Doesn't cover repairs I need. Most of my major repairs have already been completed. No benefit at the moment, just an expense that is not feasible and no type of partial refund given during cancelation. Repairs can take some time if you file a claim according to my parents who had it. Unfortunately they also canceled since it only covers certain parts and an expense they felt was not needed. This insurance is really only useful if your vehicle's warranty has just expired and you haven't made major repairs on specific components and parts. Be sure and read what they cover before you choose this insurance.

I've had CarShield for so long. I've never even used it. They lowered my payment because I was gonna cancel it because I don't use it.

So, I called them to cancel it, and they did drop it down 50 bucks. I've had people say things to me negative, but I don't have anything negative to say really because I haven't experienced them. Nothing has gone wrong with my vehicles. I would probably recommend CarShield if they weren't paying a car payment. I have car payment and insurance, so it's just a lot.

Well, because of this, we can give you lower,” and they kept going down in price.
Submitting claims was a nightmare. There is a lack of communication between the CarShield dealers and the customer. It's been hard for me to even get the claim paid. I'm in the middle of a claim that they're not paying, even though it's under my contract where it's a covered repair. So, the process has been very difficult.

I still had a year warranty left on my car, and I still went with CarShield, so I can get the price that I'm getting now. So, I had a warranty with Mercedes, and I was paying for it. So, I was paying extra. So, I should be able to be deserve some privileges. Signing up with CarShield was wonderful. I hate when I go into the dealer. They always want to try to do something negative about CarShield. “Well, you're gonna use aftermarket parts and this and that.” I tell them so far, they fixed my car. I've had to have several repairs with CarShield, and I really haven't had any problem. My most recent repair with CarShield was on a spring. The right spring on my car was broken, and they originally said it was shocks, and I just had the shocks replaced. It was a misdiagnosis. They had the mechanics go over it again, and it was the right rear spring. That was the latest one.
I need to get another repair because they’re saying my link spring, the little bushing under there, is cracked, and CarShield repaired that two years ago. I was fighting with Mercedes to get it done because they missed the diagnosis. After I had some repairs done to my car, I came back home from St. Charles Mercedes, and my battery light was coming on. I need to get a battery, and CarShield doesn't cover the battery.
The biggest benefit of having CarShield is the feeling of being rest assured. The only thing I experienced was, my daughter was here from college visiting, and I needed a repair done a couple of years ago, and I was so excited to have her with me. We were in the dealership waiting to get my car repaired, and I got on the expressway from West Allis, Wisconsin, and I forgot that I had CarShield. So, I called CarShield, and they said that there was nothing they could do. So, I had to let the dealer know first, and the dealer had to contact them before they did the repair, and I didn't know that. That’s the only negative thing I had, and I was really upset at that because I just left the dealer and totally forgot. I was just so excited being around my daughter. That's my fault though. If that's in their policy, then it is what it is.

I have an expensive car and I'm a single mom. I know when a check engine light comes on on a Mercedes, it's gonna be pricey. My dad always told me to make sure I got coverage. I called CarShield twice. I was on Google, and when I called in, I spoke to a rep. It was great. He had the policy himself, and he drove a similar car to mine. It wasn't a hard sell. He left it at my discretion and I like that. There was no pressure. I also liked the fact that I talked to him previously, and his story didn't change. That's when I knew. He wasn't just saying anything to get me to purchase something. I could tell he was a genuine person, and the things that he was saying about the company and how long he's been with them. He's been there for a really long time.
I would have rated CarShield a 5 if it was all for just the first person that I spoke to. I gave the company a call because I wanted some additional information on how I would go about things if I needed to file a claim. Normally, I'll just take it to the dealership because my car was normally under the dealership's warranty, so, I had extra questions. I asked, “If something were to happen right now, like say, if my check engine light came on,” and the person that I spoke to said, “Well, if your check engine light is on right now, then that's outside of your window.” I said, “No, it's not on right now. I'm just saying if it were, what would I do? How would I go about that?” She said, “Well, just to let you know, all these calls are recorded.” I said, “My check engine light is not on. I was just wanting to get just what if, what would I need to do?” and she just directed me to my policy.
I would tell people to definitely go for CarShield because it gives that extra peace of mind. People don't have to really worry about it after the first 90 days. Don't file within the first 90 days, but after that, they're good. I haven't had to file a claim, so I'll figure out what that process is if it ever comes up, but CarShield is good, affordable and it's worth it.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Carshield is a scam. You go to a shop that they have on their website. They diagnose your car and tell you, "Here is the time and material cost." This is when the fun starts. The shop might or might use the same estimating tool for mechanic hours so that can add to added cost and then comes the parts needed to fix your problem. If the shop says the part needed to repair the car is $400 and Car Shield can find it somewhere on the internet for $300 then that is what Car Shield covers period. It might take weeks before the part is shipped. Most people and shops can't wait this long. Bottom line is you will need to pay the difference between what car shield says they will pay vs the shop estimate along with the deductible. Note: I read through all of these reviews and nobody mentions this issue so that tells me that these reviews are filtered.

Y’all lied. I was told certain things would be covered, and when it came time to actually use the insurance, y’all barely covered any of it. My thrust rod failed and the repair came out to $1,241.18 — insurance only paid $774.03, leaving me with a $681.18 deductible just for that one repair. On top of that, the alignment, coolant flush, and shop fees weren’t touched at all — all customer pay, out of my own pocket. One of the worst insurance companies I’ve ever dealt with. The lies, the lies, the lies.
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We want to help clarify the difference between your deductible and the total amount you paid out of pocket. The deductible for this claim was $500, and the covered repairs submitted by the repair facility were approved.
The additional costs included an alignment, coolant flush, and shop fees, which are not included for coverage under the contract, with the coolant flush considered routine maintenance. If you have questions about any of the charges, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. Our team can walk through the claim with you and explain the breakdown in more detail.

I was looking for an extended warranty company, and CarShield seemed to be the best one that was available at the time. The actual sign-up process was fairly easy. They were very helpful. There really wasn't a lot of hassle. Everything went smooth once I signed up the first time. I'd tell people I know to take CarShield and give them a chance. They'll definitely will help you, especially when your car broke down or if you need a rental car, and roadside assistance.
Mark, it means a lot that you’d recommend CarShield to others! We’re glad that getting started was simple and that you’ve felt good about the protection and benefits available to you. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

When I first purchased I was skeptic and unsure. When I made my first claim I was taken back with joy when things was underway. What I like about the process is, Car Shield works in your behalf like an agent should to bargain on your behalf. This helps with the extra out of pocket expense you may incur over your deductible. The whole process taking to the shop, speaking with Car Shield plus making the repairs took me one week and 3 days, this is the reason for the four stars. Other than that, I recommend Car Shield, it’s worth what you pay for it.
Tommy, there's nothing better than having those initial doubts turn into a great first claim experience! We're glad you felt supported throughout the process and truly appreciate your honest feedback about the timing. Comments like yours help us see where we can continue improving. We're here whenever you need us again.

You were there for me, but they chose the warranty I had left on the car. They also said that I was not driving the car enough and the electronics consumed the battery---I looked it up, and it said exactly the same thing. That floored me. I drove it to two Dr's appts on two days in a row, and on the third day it would not crank---on a NEW BATTERY. It had drained it. My worry is I will go down to New Albany to another Dr. appt, and it will DIE and I will be stuck for a while. Drove it 2 years and never had a problem.

This company constantly harasses me sends me emails every day that I’ve asked them to stop sending. There’s no way to block him. I’ve tried several times and I’ve asked over and over for them to quit sending me emails so if you wanna deal with this company go with your own risk. I would never consider it.

Within the last couple of months, I got an extended warranty on my car from CarShield. I went to a couple of different companies and did the price comparison. From what I was told, I got a bumper-to-bumper warranty, just like the factory warranty that you get, and it was economically feasible. So, I looked into it. As far as CarShield's representative, I couldn’t ask for any nicer person.
Thank you for giving CarShield a try, Leroy! We're glad you found a plan that fit your needs and had such a great experience with our representative. Here's to many miles of added confidence ahead!

My car went in for service. I asked Midas to use my Carshield and all day they were calling them for payment and kept getting the same response that the payment was going to be paid to them and nothing happened. I called service and they said the same thing. Payment will be processed and nothing happened. I finally paid for the car and was told I would get the covered amount paid back to me and still did not receive anything yet. I pay my premium. Every month on time and I think this is just wrong, today is August 1st and the payment went to you all and I still did not get a check or and message saying I was getting anything yet so I am not very happy on how this is being handled,

CarShield is a rip off. Just because of two oil change receipts that I cannot find I end up paying for me a new engine out-of-pocket. I will not give CarShield not 1 more dime.
