    Had difficulty finding a service center.. Called to cancel because the places that were close no longer accepted CarShield due to problems getting paid. CarShield gave me other places, so I took my car to one of them. They still have not accepted the claim. Spoke with the service center just now... I was instructed to leave the car with them; tear my AC unit apart, then someone from CarShield will send a representative to check the findings.. "It may be several weeks" before a decision is made! I need my car.. AND, I need payment for the repairs... feels like I have made a very bad choice.. Ads are not always "for real"!

    I have the Platinum Plan with CarShield. I gave the shop repairing my car my car on Tuesday April 13th. I didn't know until calling about a claim that carshield has to have a inspector come out and look at everything. I don't under the point if you take it to a ASE certified mechanic. It's Monday and the claim was accepted Saturday. I have 3 kids . One child couldn't attend school because my car was in the shop. Sitting. Carshield only offers a loaner when the work is started and only starting at 4 hours+. Luckily I'm working from home right now but what if I had to get to work?! A week without a car is tough. The job to repair everything is only going to take 5 hours so no point in getting a loaner. Loaners should become available if the carshop has to wait on a an inspection, submit the claim, accept the claim then the shop orders the parts. I thought it would be more accommodating. Price is good and happy my warranty covers a lot of my cost.

    I used to work in "F & I" at auto dealerships, selling lots of service contracts. Best method for demonstrating how good the coverage is is to show the backside of the contract where it shows what's NOT covered as it's easy to get lost w/ all that IS. I requested that Car Shield send me theirs for my review & they refused. No sale! Really poor salesmanship!

    Auto repairs can be very expensive. Having Carshield Warranty gives you the coverage you need for those expensive repairs, such as transmission or engine replacement which can cost thousands of dollars. It is especially nice when traveling to know you have peace of mind in case something happens. And this warranty is very reasonably priced.

    I had a problem with my transmission slipping and took the car to a Chrysler dealership since it is a 2002 Sebring. My car ended up being there for 4 weeks as the rep from Carshield kept putting them off. I had a $100.00 deductible and the dealership charged me almost $400.00 and refused to do any more work on the car. Needless to say I didn't get any reimbursement from car shield and I dropped them like a hot potato. I took it to a local transmission shop that took one day and $129.00 to fix it. By the way I also paid a total of $1000.00 in premiums. What a waste of money.. I would never ever recommend them to anyone!!!

Your policy of only covering specifically what is listed in policy is faulty in that the customer must know all the parts of a car to figure out what is not covered. In my case a sensor that is in the car to measure outside temperature -- it is faulty and overrides my turning on the A/C because it is determining it is cold outside and I don't need the A/C -- who would ever suspect something was put in the car that would not allow me to turn on the A/C when I wanted it on?

So when I called Carshield they said that with my policy these items were not covered. Well according to them at that point my truck was only eligible for the lure gold package which basically doesn't cover nothing mortar transmission the bigger items so it was basically worthless for what an older vehicle needs and all this was all just a fast-talking salesman trying to suck you into buying something.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the review. However, it looks like the repair you had included 1.8 hours of labor. In your contract, you will see rental reimbursement is only for repairs of over 4 hours of labor time. We are sorry if there was any confusion about this. We are glad we could save you $222 on the actual repair though!

    I called CarShield to see if my car was covered. I explained what was going on, and I was told that it was covered by CarShield, but when I took it in to Firestone and after the diagnostic test a representative from CarShield called me telling me that what I needed done was not covered by CarShield, and the past that was covered could be fixed until I got something else fixed first that wasn't covered.

    Hi Sharon,

    Thanks for the review and sorry for any confusion regarding you claim. It looks like multiple parts needed to be fixed. One part was not covered under your coverage, however, the compressor might be covered. For the compressor, we just need a diagnostic test done to determine this. Your claim is marked as inactive as we have not heard back from the repair facility regarding this. We'd like to help you so if there is anything we can do, please contact us.

    My payments are being drafted from the WRONG account and I have tried to get this straightened out TWICE now and it is NOT being changed to the correct account YET. I had, I thought, this set up to draft from a specific checking account and NOT from the debit card that I used to make the first payment when I purchased the policy.

    This story is about a Chrysler 300, that overheats. We replaced the radiator and the thermostat (our pocket). This didn't fix the problem. Called Car Shield, to see if there was a mechanic in our area that accepts Car Shield as no mechanic we know does. They recommended a AAMCO. Steve the owner, nice guy. So we drove the 300 there, and that same day, Car Shield DENIED the claim citing causation of a cracked block was a non covered oil pump. The next day we went up to AAMCO, and the owner Steve told us that's not true. The block isn't cracked, nor is there a malfunction of the oil pump. Steve told us that the head gasket was blown, thus warping the head, allowing water into the oil. Knowing this as fact, per recording played to Car Shield, they still denied us.

    Opened a Better Business Burough case (BTW they have an "F" rating), and they repeated the lie of causation as a matter of public record, and closed the case, while still taking money out of the bank account, to pay for??? Looking at the reviews here, "This review is featured by CarShield" yeah, that one... They are taking claim that they approve claims. This is also not true according to their statement in the BBB case. I'm going to say it... Car Shield is a fraud. Change My Mind.

    Obtain warranty for a used SUV purchase. Gave history (or lack of) that I had of the vehicle prior to purchasing warranty, was told not a problem. Time to use the warranty I would have to first put up approx. $2000 before they are able to make a decision. Never mind that an experienced mechanic explained exactly what needed to be done, the engine needed to be replaced, (let me put this into perspective, it actually showed the timing chain failed, in which the mechanic told me he had to ultimately replace the engine on about four of the same vehicles in the last couple of years), they wanted me to pay for tear-down (approx. $2000) before they make a decision.

    The initial diagnosis was made at the dealership and I in-turn took the car to my certified mechanic because he is less expensive. If approved the $2000 would be reimbursed, my point is I had placed two other small claims, heard nothing from that, I paid. Therefore, I have no confidence in them approving a larger claim, I would just be out of $2000 plus the cost of the repairs. There is no communication with them, you always have to call to ask for the status. I have had a representative get nasty with me and hang up. This has been such a trying experience, I can not tell you anything good about CARSHIELD, other than they were very timely in taking their money out of my bank account every month.

    For the money that I wasted with them, I could have almost paid for the car repairs. You live and you learn, and I am writing this review to help others, STAY AWAY! Two different repair shops told me that CarShield was not going to pay, they had never experienced payment from them, but I held out hope, but no, not a dime. I can not discredit anyone's positive review, BUT...I can't see all of the greatness happening.

    Charlene,

    In regard to your most recent claim yes, the admin needs to know the cause of failure which a teardown would show. This is outlined as a possibility in your contract. Please know, not all repairs require a teardown to be performed. If the mechanic was so sure its the timing chain then we would cover the cost of that and the teardown. However, we never heard back that a teardown was performed so we did not get the chance to help you out on this repair. For a previous repair, we were told you moved your car to a different repair facility and again, we did not hear back from you or the repair shop in regard to that repair so we could not move forward. We have helped millions of people save over $1 billion in repairs and we wish we had the opportunity to help you on yours.

    Supposedly this company prides themselves on being one of the top auto warranty companies. I had one of the worse experiences with them. The lack of unprofessionalism and customer care was just disgusting. There are various loopholes and shady dealings in their contracts and policies. In the end all I got was the round around and no support or resolve in regards to my car issues. They fight really hard to do everything they can to not have to fix your car and then take no accountability or provide any actual assistance. I will never be doing business with this company again and I would never recommend them to anyone.
