My car has been in the shop since September 10, 2021. It is now October 1, 2021. I see that no one cares enough to make sure, I as a Diamond of 2 years with 2 cars paying $100 a month for both, was treated better. No one has called me EVER for an update from Carshield nor American auto shield and I have called both of them repeatedly. 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.

I received a rental car for three days when my car was being repaired. It took more than three days for the repairs. I called to request more time on the rental car and was told I was only locked in for three days. The contract states up to seven days for a rental car. When I returned the car I was told that Car Shield would not cover the taxes on the rental car. It states on my rental agreement that you cover the cost 100 percent.

Their warranty is a joke and they will not honor it. I will be going to the Better Business Bureau as well as posting on every social media possible. Multiple reasons for an engine light to come on, mine on due to the bolts on the manifold. The 3rd cylinder on my truck misfired but a certified Dodge mechanic from out of state said he believed it could need a tune up and my plugs were bad possibly. Like anyone, would know and believe, this does not constitute a tow. I made an appointment to the Dodge dealer where I near where I reside in another state so that I would not be stranded and traveling two states out to deal with a possible spark plug issue which anyone with basic knowledge of a spark plug would do.
Upon thorough inspection and covers removed it was determined that the issue was greater. My truck is in the shop for a crush lifter that cause shavings from the cam throughout the engine. This company Carshield/Autoshield is now saying because I didn't have my vehicle towed from out of state or while out of state, to a local mechanic who I don't know or I stay several hours from, I basically caused more damage to my engine and they will only give me a tenth of what the actual engine cost is to repair. That tenth is to only fix the 3rd cylinder while shavings continue to circulate in the engine to do what? Break down again and I'll be back to doing another post. STUPIDITY!!
This is after the Dodge dealership showed the adjuster the regulations that if oil was located in certain spots regardless, the engine needed to be replaced. Initially after talking to claims, they wanted to just pay for the cylinder repair only and leave everything else as is. Make it make sense!! The escalation claims rep was very unprofessional which really amped me up. And because he's a mechanic and can distinguish a misfire from a spark plug needing replaced or a tune up due, this is the validation that he is using for me to have my truck towed because he would have known. I guess everyone in America is a mechanic now, so why would we need diagnosis or certified mechanics to tell us what's wrong with our vehicles?
By the way, the rental in the policy is a joke as it only covers the labor of the repairs. I would love to see a diagnosis and repair done within 4 hours which is what they are trying to say the rental covers. Sincerely disgruntled and I will definitely be sharing this throughout the rest of the months. These are all facts that just happened today. Every Soldier for the next year will hear about this prior to me speaking at a graduation. I promise you flyers will go up on every base I pass by on the walls in the Soldier Support Centers as well as Army Community Services offices, as well as to some of the hundreds of Officers I've trained through Virginia to brief their formations to stay away from this organization. RLTW!!!

It just so happen I was having the car looked at the next day by a personal mechanic and he happened to mention the leak. I called car shield and explained, they told me it might be covered but in order to do the claim, the car has to be at the shop. I take the vehicle to the shop only to find out there is a leak on top of my control arms being broken. Fine control arms are apparently wear and tear, however the leak is not. THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT DUE TO ONE SIMPLE PART. This job cost me over 1,000 just to get done.
At this point I am furious and want to cancel the policy. I go to call and cancel and I am greeted by a VERY RUDE REPRESENTATIVE who just wants to go back and forth with me arguing over a warranty. She never even cancelled the policy. I hung up on this women and called back. I got a man who was nice and "seemed" like he wanted to help but ultimately, I haven't even heard from him. This company cares only for your money and barely wants to cover anything.... I would not recommend.

The repair facility were unable to contact the adjuster/appraisal. Phone calls or emails of the repair estimate were never returned. I wouldn’t recommend this contract service to anyone.

When I hear the TV commercials, it made me think of something that I needed, so I started my coverage about 6 months ago. My 2012 Ford Focus started to leak water at a rapid pace and it got to a place where it could not hold much water and the next thing the head gasket blew and the engine was no good. I have notified CarShield customer service many times only to be turned down for coverage. The mechanic at the garage told Carshield that the car had a blown head gasket and according to CarShield policy, there is no coverage for blown head gasket. But the truth of the matter is the water pump needed replaced, but it happened so fast the engine was affected.

The policy did not cover anything electrical that leaves a lot on the table for no coverage. Transmissions have lots of solenoids that fail mechanically and they will decline the repair if this happens to your transmission. Car Shield does not care about you as a customer or the repair shop. Their goal is to find a way to decline the repair.

For close to decade I’ve paid for this warranty and I’ve used it once. But the one time I needed to use it they had a loophole in place to made sure it wouldn’t be covered. Before doing that their customer service lied to me and blamed the dealership. Keep saying someone would call me but never did. To make it worse they said I had coverage to cover extra and when I got there to make sure and try and use, they said that policy never existed.
