    I tried to claim an AC problem a few weeks ago and one rep said the part was covered so I took the car to Audi and when Audi called for coverage they were told it wasn't covered. I called and the rep said it wasn't covered as well. I'm not confident this company will easily fix my car when needed.

    In July Car Shield had an error in system. Phillips Chevy did everything to try and get my car repaired in a timely manner but the adjuster would not authorize my car for repair. I called car shield every day for two weeks four and five times a day and still nothing. I was out of $900.00 because one customer service said I was covered then another said the same thing but the adjuster told me my car was not covered so now I have one big headache. But in the end I paid the money and my car is now fixed. I still will tell friends and family and coworkers about car shield.

    CarShield seemed GREAT from outside, their salespeople were aggressive and truly sold me a dream. They sold me the DIAMOND PACKAGE and told me "EVERYTHING" is covered as if brand new. I asked them for a list of items NOT COVERED. He told me there is NO LIST because it is our best coverage. 8 months and over $700 later in monthly payments, I had an issue with my sunroof, brought to dealer, they called Carshield, --it took 2 days to get thru to them and then they DENIED it because it was not covered. I called to see why.... NO ONE cared, they said "it's not covered". And showed no empathy whatsoever. When I requested to cancel--they did so immediately---not even a attempt to try to save me as a customer. NEVER BUY FROM THEM!!!!

I am a retired and permanently disabled Paralegal (paralegal for 31 years) so with that being said I had lots and lots of questions for Sean but he was really good and was able to provide all the answers to my questions and he eased most of my worries about signing up with CarShield hence me moving forward and purchasing a Platinum Plan with Carshield because of Sean **'s Excellent Sales and Customer Service.

    During this Current Global Pandemic it is extremely difficult to find, obtain and hold onto an Excellent Worker/Employee like Sean **.

    Hey Robert,

    I do not see that the repair facility has contacted the administrator to start a claim. If they submitted the info online, we would reach out within 24-48hrs. Typically, the way the process works is that they would call us before they do work on the repair. Either way, have them contact us and we'll see if the part they repaired is listed for coverage. If so, we'll send out a check.

    Hi Albert,

    Thanks for the review. I have your account up and it looks like there are 2 issues. The first, was when you called in on 7/10 that your account was not active as we were waiting to process the payment you had just made. That was the first delay. The biggest delay is that your repair facility has not filed the claim online yet. Once they submit the info online, it only takes 24-48 hours for an adjuster to get back to them regarding next steps. Please give us a call if you have questions about this process.

    Thanks for the review and your patience during this process. I've looked over your account and can see quite a bit of back and forth and the claim is moving along as quickly as possible. There have been issues with the American Auto Shield (claims company) contacting the repair facility and you and the repair facility having issues reaching the claims company and we apologize about that.

    Dyreanna (badge #: **) was delightful to talk to! She was exceptionally helpful, friendly and professional. having employees like her speaks volumes to the the type of character the company employs and I truly hope the company recognizes her value, talents, personality, knowledge base and provide growth and advancement opportunities. Happy employees keep happy customers!

    On another note, being able to talk to a real person would be a rewarding experience, especially when trying to submit a claim as oppose to being subjected to an automated system that directs the customer to submit the claim via email (really?). I understand being technologically advanced and perhaps proficient, however, when a customer is trying to submit a claim they absolutely do not want to hear automated directives to an email! Claims require LIVE PERSONAL ACTION, not emails in an employee queue. Also, It would be nice to have an accurate or current list of providers that accept this warranty rather than the customer having to call around to find dealerships, mechanic shops that do. Convenience is everything to current (paying) and future customers!

    Hi Jerry,

    Thanks for the review and feedback! Happy to see Dyreanna was able to help you out! The claims department is actually a completely different company than ours. They had issues with their phones a couple weeks ago and are working hard to get everything caught back up. They've also seen an influx of claims due to the pandemic so I think having the options to submit claims online helped cut down call wait times. Lastly, repair facilities can choose one day to work with vehicle service providers and the next day choose not to. The list would be nearly impossible to be accurate as repair shops come and go as they please. The best solution is to call around to your local ASE-Certified shops as ask. Again, thank you for your patience, business, and time.

    If you say you would cover components and then you go to the repair shop and to your surprise you have to pay for all the repairs. Then when the repair shop calls the phones don’t work to get the repairs fixed.

After speaking with the representative at Carshield and she went over the coverage Carshield coverage was the same as my credit union so I continue making my payments to Carshield versus paying a large amount of money up front.

    My vehicle has been in the shop since July 22nd with transmission problems. My warranty covers that problem but trying to get a straight answer from them has been an adventure. Come to find out nothing was ever filed. Both my repair shop and I have tried to call them and not once have I gotten an answer on what was taking a while, after talking to someone on Wednesday Aug. 5th I was finally told no one ever started a claim.

    My problem is not that the phone system was down but the lack of knowledge that was given to either me or my repair shop. And when I spoke to someone yesterday he told me that I would be able to get a rental for the inconvenience of this whole situation. I called today Aug. 6th to speak to a supervisor and that was not at all respectful. She kept going on and on about well that's not in your contract but not once heard me when I tried to explain that my vehicle is in the air torn apart waiting for an answer for over 2 weeks. I have a toddler and if something happened to him what was I going to do. No vehicle. No rental. Disaster waiting to happen. Will not recommend this warranty.

    Will try to make story short; researched through my coverage policy to find out if issue with truck I was experiencing was covered before I even took the first step toward having dealership take possession & replace malfunctioning parts. Took me a total of 4 phone calls over about 2-3 days just to find out if part(s) "SHOULD BE" covered. No definitive answers were obtained. I decided to move forward with 98% assurity rate that they were. The issue was not so much with Carshield as it was with A.A.S. For those of you who don't know what a.a.s. stands for, its American Auto Shield. This is who you get transferred to when you have an issue. I guess I missed that part when reading over my plan coverage. Anyways, this was where the nightmare really began!

    To be fair though, they did have a storm go through & they said it knocked out their phone lines & internet, so it was abysmal to try & get through for about 3-4 days. I had the dealership & myself trying to call to no avail. Finally after dealership relayed to me that they had been on hold for 2.5 hours, they finally picked up. To finish up, malfunctioning parts were covered & fixed but I had to eat the car rental for a week. I'm 1000 miles away from home in Fla seeking cancer treatments for 2 months. 3 of us here & 1 vehicle. Dealership kept truck whole week. I have radiation treatments every day. Had to have vehicle to get back & forth. A.A.S. wouldn't cover rental cost! So, this was not a great experience at all. Called carshield back & spoke with Stephen. He was great & the only reason I didn't cancel carshield!

    Hi Fate,

    Thanks for the review. Looking over your account, I believe there was some miscommunication. Perhaps our rep did not understand the question you were asking. I think he thought you were asking if you were covered and he responded with yes, your account is active. However, you were asking about being covered for parts. Your coverage only covers certain parts, not everything. So our rep just misunderstood the question you were asking and we apologize for the confusion.

Then she said that so had to speak to the mechanic and I tried to connect her but she hung up. I called back and your auto attendant says that if I give them my phone number my spot will be held in its place. I then tried calling back and could never get thru to anyone, so I called from a different number and I was on hold for 4 and a half hours. And while I was on hold I sent two emails and called customer service again and was told by Frank to pay for my car and submit a claim for reimbursement.

    I had to cancel because I couldn't meet the minimum requirements. Also, couldn't meet the suggested maintenance standards. Otherwise the customer service and other departments were more than adequate. I would recommend the program to others if they there weren't minimum requirements.

    We live in Hawaii and one of our relatives had a problem yesterday with his car. When he called me for help, I told him I have the CarShield plan and he forgot that he also signed up a few months ago so he called for assistance. His name is David **. It turns out the Toyota Dealer, Servco Pacific in Waipahu where he was instructed to have it towed to was no longer a participating repair shop with CarShield cause they had issues with repair claims mainly with the cost in shipping parts to Hawaii. He tried calling CarShield again but the office was closed, Hawaii is 4 hours behind in time. Today, he had to have his car towed again to a repair shop that is on the list. I just called and checked on my own plan & will proceed to find out the options available for myself to avoid this same result occurring with me then I will need to decide whether to continue with CarShield or not.

    I have asked for a printout telling me what’s covered on my plan and got nothing, then I had well over $600.00 worth of work done on the engine so I don’t need any more SURPRISES when something happened like this again, I’m sure once my truck reaches its 150 thousand miles I’m booted off anyway.

    My wife and I recently relocated to California from Missouri. After three weeks in California, the check engine light came on. After consulting with the Car Shield call center, I was advised to take our vehicle to a dealer and have the dealer call the Car Shield call center. Long story short, we didn't need the service as the check engine light was merely a malfunction on the dashboard. The customer service delivered was OUTSTANDING and I have already spread the word. Thanks Car Shield!!!
