    I've only one time since I originally to sign up establish my extended warranty was when I called to have the monthly payment date changed. Was to change my payment date from the 1st to the 2nd of the month.. The associate I talked to was very professional, and courteous. Based on this I'd recommend CarShield to anybody I know that need an extended warranty to CarShield. My hat's off to CarShield. .

    The reps at CarShield were professional, courteous, and they answered any questions that I had when I was purchasing the extended warranty. The claims process was fairly quick, but getting to the actual place where I had to the claim was frustrating. I was bounced around by a lot of people. They told me the number that I had to call, and I called that number, but they had no idea what was my contract number. They said they had no contract with me. I started getting frustrated and they told me to a call a certain number. But the person told me that I had to call another number.

    Finally, somebody was able to help me, and I got the right number. They said I had to give it to my mechanic, and that he would have to call and take care of it from there. It took about two hours from the time that I dropped my car off to the time that the claim was approved. And then my mechanic told me that I had to pay $300 because CarShield only covered $1,200. That part was a little frustrating too because I thought it was supposed to be covered in full.

    I purchased auto warranty coverage on my 2010 Honda Accord. The compressor for the air conditioner went bad. I took it to the dealership and they submitted the claim to CarShield Claims department and they denied it. I spoke with CarShield re this matter and was told there was nothing they could do to help me. After several hours on the phone with them I found out that CarShield is like a broker who sells your contract to sorry companies that will not pay claims and find 100 reasons why the cause of the compressor going bad was not covered when the contract states that it's covered. CarShield finally admitted that my contract was with United Car Care.

    I looked at the reviews for both companies and realize that both are scammers and have taken a lot of money from individuals like me. CarShield Ads should be banned and they should be out of business for what they are doing. Advertising as if they are the warranty company when they are merely serving as a broker to get the customer for sorry companies that are taking people money. CarShield and United Car Care should be sued and made pay back all the money they have taken from people.

    CarShield has a policy of disassembling the car or the parts of the car in need of repair for view before you can decide if you're going to cover the warranty claim, this is absolute BS. In my case the timing chain needed to be replaced- the car had 120K miles on it, you can hear the tensioner clattering, the codes all pointed to the chain, walks like a duck quacks like a duck. But the inspector wanted me to agree to have the shop do a complete teardown of the motor to "see the root cause" - hay ** - it's 120 thousand miles on it. That's the cause. Still $3600 estimate to do the teardown in the hopes they will warranty it. No shop on the planet would stay in business if that was really necessary.

    The fact is in most cases the price to just View the hardware in question will cost more than the repair, and as a customer - you're liable for the added cost the shop has gone through just to allow CarShield reps to "view the issue". Every shop I have ever been to can diagnose an issue and fix the issue without tearing down a freaking motor first. But not with CarShield warranty. This is hands down the best way to increase revenue for your partners and a horrible way to treat the people who keep them employed.

    Took vehicle in for 100,000 tune up. Advised had shudder in rear in and noise from what sounded like the water pump area. Noise turned out to be timing phaser and shudder was clutch pads in the rear end. Had everyhing repaired. Did not think about using CarShield because my vehicle did not break down.

    While driving from Las Vegas to Van Nuys, CA. we notice coolant leaking underneath my 2013 Hyundai Hybrid once we reached our destination. I notice the water pump had a hole in it, 5 days later, I went online to issue a claims report over the weekend and Monday I spoke to a very nice American CarShield rep. She made things easy for me in getting things started with my repair request. The only delay and concerns I have is the communications with the claims adjuster and service department approval process, it's taking longer than I expected. Overall everything is good.

    4 months literally fighting with this insurance! I had to literally fight with this insurance! Take my car to 2 different shops: 1) personal certified mechanic and to the real dealer of the car and they still denied to help! They won’t care about computers codes (even if the proof the same issue). They pretend for you to tear down your car and show broken part (cause of failing) for them decide if they will cover or no. But if they won’t cover YOU need to pay back the mechanics to bring your car all in in one piece (even if still broke). I canceled and my whole friends and family start doing the same, canceled! What is the idea to buy a extended warranty if won’t cover wears tear parts (if that it’s the reason for it)! Not recommend at all!!

    ATTENTION. These good reviews up here are fabricated. This company preys on good, hard working individuals and will deny every claim you attempt to submit. I have attorneys that are working to take them down. Do not give your money to these leeches. I have issues with my water pump and rod bearings and according to my contract these items are clearly covered. They denied me on the basis that my car was overheating. They said they do not cover overheating! They told me that it's in the contract that they don't cover overheating but when I pointed out that there's nothing in the contract that states that the individual put me on hold for 40 minutes and had to conclude that he couldn't find overheating; but then denied me by stating that I had "lack of coolant" in my car. Which was a complete lie because I checked my coolant 2 days prior to it breaking down.

    The repair shop didn't tell them that I had a lack of coolant. I certainly didn't. But this individual thousands of miles away was able to determine that and it's complete hogwash. My car overheated because I needed a new water pump but they don't want to cover that. What's even worse is that I spoke to at least 4 different individuals regarding my claims and they all had different ways of denying coverage. I've filed with the federal trade commission and I have attorneys on this. Do not deal with this company. I am not bias in any way, shape, form, or fashion. I just don't want the next unbeknownst individual to go through what I went through.

At that point he got rude and disrespectful so asked why was he behaving this way. Did he work on commission & he said no. So I said, "There is no reason to be so rude & disrespectful" & he got worse, I asked, "Why are you being so rude and disrespectful to a potential customer that is doing exactly what your ad on tv & online say free quote with a phone #." He hung up on me.

This is what is covered under my platinum plan with CarShield. Rear main seal housing, leaking seals and gaskets... Needless to say CarShield did not cover any items on my vehicle. My service advisor was advised that it looked pre-existing (pre existing from what). However I knew nothing about it and my car is in for regular maintenance.

They sell your account for services to American Auto Shield who has TERRIBLE RATINGS! Took one in for repair, not covered, ok but the repair shop said they would not work with this company again due to long wait time to talk with rep. This week took a different car in for A/C service. Compressor clearly covered in my warranty but denied coverage. Spoke to soooo many people, spent over 8 hours on hold in three days while I was supposed to be “on vacation”. The dealership repairing said they would not sit on hold with this company after the second time they called.

    I ended up calling and then doing a 3 way call once an adjuster finally answered. Spoke to Hector Adjuster, he spoke to Hans supervisor, the freaking Auto Technician at my repair dealership talked to Blake Floor Manager who was extremely argumentative and rude to both of us. Would not listen to the technician who said the compressor was seized and should be covered accordingly. Blake finally hung up on both of us when the technician began asking specific technical questions to prove my case. Absolutely A SCAM COMPANY!!!

    First of all the hold times are ridiculous! My experience with CarShield was terrible. I bought a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse LTZ from Mid-Carolina Auto Sales around February 21, 2019, almost immediately I purchased a CarShield plan due to the commercials that portrayed them as a credible company for repairs. When my vehicle broke down, it ended up needing a timing belt. I was told by a Carshield representative that the timing belt would need to be broken down to be inspected by the adjuster. I had that done.

    I then received a call that because the vehicle was broken down, they could not approve the claim without 12 months of service records (after they were the ones who told the shop to break it down) so I then contacted the dealership I purchased it from who provided me with a CarFax report as well as the oil change he conducted on the vehicle. I called into CarShield to see if they received the paperwork and was told they could not use it. If you have not owned the vehicle personally for 12 months, how else can you know what has been done to it other than obtaining a CarFax report??? The commercials are completely misleading and I would not recommend this company to ANYONE!

    My policy was purchased and effective 3/7/2019. My shocks broke down and was in shop on 3/27/2019. The policy says claim can be filed in 20 days. It doesn’t mention after 20 days in policy. Dealership called to file a claim and was told that my policy was in waiting status and the work will not be covered so basically a waste of my money. I then called CarShield and was placed on hold for over an hour and dealership was hung up on several times and on hold for more than an hour as well. A bunch of liars with this company.

    CarShield is a horrible ripoff - I bought a policy in good faith, and as it turned out I had need of some repairs within that first month of coverage. What a joke. NONE of it was covered. Timing belt - no. Water pump - no. Thermostat - no. Oh wait, they WOULD have paid for a new air conditioner compressor unit... but NOT the associated parts which are NECESSARY for proper installation... meaning if the new compressor then failed, it would not be covered because it "hadn't been installed correctly".

    On top of all of that, when I called in to cancel my policy, they tried telling me I was not entitled to any refund of my premium, even though their own contract explicitly states a cancellation within the 1st thirty days entitles the customer to a refund of that premium payment. It took me half an hour of sitting on hold and demanding to speak to a supervisor to even get that money back... And I am still out the auto-payment for the following month. Do NOT buy this service!

    I would give them lower than 1 star if I could. I called to get a free quote, so that I could determine if it was something I could afford. I was quoted 135.00 for the Silver Plan and what the Silver Plan would cover. I told the guy thanks, I would discuss it with my wife and get back to him. He would not accept that. He continued to try to pressure me into making a payment of 135.00 right now. I informed him over 10 times I would not make any payment until I had the opportunity to discuss it with my wife and he still continued insisting I should make a payment now.

    He told me to put it on my credit card, if I had one and that would give me 30 days to make a decision. I once again informed him, I just wanted the free quote they said you could get. I also informed him once again I had to discuss things with my wife and would get back to him if it was right for us. He was starting to get rude, so I had to eventually hang up on the guy.

    I obtained the warranty almost a month ago. My check engine light came in on Friday. Well during diagnostic the mechanic found axle issues. Carshield refused to pay. At first they told mechanic it was not covered. Which in my policy stated it was. When I called the rep told me because it happened 2 days after my grace period it was a pre existing condition which it was not. So basically they called me a liar. They look for every loophole not to pay. Please people stick with your dealer or manufacturer warranty. They even told the company they would have to send their own adjuster to go behind your chosen mechanic for verification. Smh it is nowhere near as clear cut as the commercials make it out to believe. Needless to say I cancelled the policy. I would rather pay out of pocket for the work rather than a false sense of security that turns out to be gas poured on a fire. Save yourself the hassle.

    Usually, reading your contract would suffice and answered questions are correct; not with CarShield. This is the only warranty company that I or the two auto mechanic shops had an experience as such. Initially, I was told that I could take my automobile to any ASE shop. Christian Auto Brothers evaluated the issue and CarShield's adjuster came to the shop and approved the compressor and associated parts, dryer, etc. However, I was then told by CarShield that their parts would have to be shipped in, with a minimum of three days for delivery. Because Christian Brothers did not accept shipped in parts, I had to pick up my vehicle and take it to another ASE approved mechanic.

    On Friday, March 21, I dropped my car off at a very reputable Mechanic, (LMC in Spring, Texas), and received a call from them on Monday morning advising that CarShield was no longer covering the previous estimated repairs, totaling $1,204.00, only covering the compressor, $746.00.

    CarShield, Maybe it is because of only a check engine light and that my 2012 Audi was not towed into the service department... The auto service department relayed to me this morning that none of my claim was approved by the d adjuster based on the information their inspector sent them. I had to get a rental car while I waited for their inspector and now, none of this is covered. I called CarShield after receiving the news from the auto service department that my claim was denied for fuel injector failures and a slow coolant leak that was discovered during the diagnostic. I called and it was almost an hour, before the callback prompt came on and once it did, I selected appropriately and never got a callback (at all today). I emailed and received a reply back to call 800-587-4162.

    The lady there was the most helpful in that she told me that the seal gasket for the coolant leak was not covered and that since the inspector nor the shop could pinpoint the cause of the 3 and 6 cylinder misfires, it was classified as going out and not broken, thus, claim denied... The coolant leak means my car, is not safe on the road and will fail its next safety inspection, so I have to get this fixed out of pocket because I cannot continue to pay for the rental and because I cannot get any assistance for the parts and labor negotiation to even begin that process (I will explain more about that below). Thus far, my experience is horrible.

    The helpful customer service lady said there was still a way the company could assist me in getting up to 30% off the repair costs. She said call 800-856-7884, tell then my claim was denied and that I wanted to talk to someone about parts sourcing and labor negotiations. I did this and once I got someone on the line started to give him my information, we got disconnected. They never called back (why this is not a practice, I don't know, all my information is requested). I called back and ended up on hold for 25 minutes, finally got someone and they still had to transfer me to the department that could help... This was a 45 minute hold.

    I tried the customer service number again. Got in the callback queue and once someone did call (from American Auto Shield I believe) they couldn't help and it was after business hours for CarShield. My first call to CarShield was at 8:23 this morning (HST) and this final contact was around 1:30 pm (HST). I would love it if someone from the department that helps negotiate parts and labor could contact me and at least help me with that part since, no other part of this service contract is useful to me and I cannot spend another day on hold.

Mercedes wouldn’t Warranty a Ford, etc part for my Mercedes. It cost over 2,500 to fix it & CarShield wouldn’t pay but a portion 'cause they wanted a cheap dealer. They then told Mercedes they wouldn’t pay our any more money. I canceled. Awful customer service. They left the Mercedes deal agent on hold for 2 hrs. I had to cancel cause they wouldn’t pay out to fix my car but I paid 1,400 a year for services. I’m going to file with the Better Business Bureau. I will pass the word on about their awful services.

    Updated on 03/23/2019: 2nd part of original review: It took 12 days to get thru to an Adjuster (and get repair authorized), and 3 hrs:17 min:56 sec on the phone (half day off work) to get thru the ordeal CarShield has set up to file a claim. Nightmare!

    Updated on 03/14/2019: Day 11 waiting for a Claims Authorization contact - on hold for hours, numerous messages left, online claims form filled out - still no response from CarShield. Now today my Auto Repair Shop, after having my car sit there for 11 days, is telling me to either authorize my own payment for the repair or they will have my car towed back to my house. They say they are not going to deal with CarShield because of all of the time wasted taking up space at their shop. So I'm screwed thanks to CarShield completely NON EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. HAVING TO WAIT - GOING ON 11 DAYS NOW - FOR JUST A PHONE CALL TO GET AUTHORIZATION - is completely unacceptable. It is now costing me what WAS a good relationship with my mechanic. Unacceptable. Incompetent. Bordering on deliberate fraud by selling a car warranty they have no intention of honoring.

    Original Review: My car went into the shop 9 days ago for a "covered repair" under CarShield's policy terms. The car code was diagnosed the first day, and the repair shop called CarShield for the Claim Number and approval code. They sat on hold for 52 minutes and the phone was never answered - they had to return to work, so pressed the number to get a "return call." Day 2 - no return call, so another 45 minutes on hold with no answer - left another message. Day 3: no return call, so 2 episodes of sitting on hold for more than 30 minutes each. Day 3 end of day - filled out Online Claim Form and submitted for agent to call and review claim. Days 4 through 9: no response yet.

    NINE DAYS my car is sitting, waiting for a repair that takes 90 minutes, all the while me having to pay for a rental car to drive to work. This is the most ridiculous setup ever. It's going to end up costing me more to file the claim with CarShield than it would have cost me to just pay cash for the repair, which makes the whole CarShield policy absolutely pointless.

    I got the policy 3 months ago for a used car with 140,840 miles on it. The person that sold me the policy inputted 148,056 miles into the computer. I needed to have the transmission repaired and took the car to the local AAMCO. Car Shield required me to have the transmission shop take the transmission out to the car to see if it could be rebuilt. When I tried to contact the adjuster I stayed on hold for one hour or more and the repairman at the transmission shop stayed on hold for two hours or more.

    Finally I reached them they told me there was a problem with the mileage. As I said above and instead of correcting the mileage they cancelled the policy completely and tried to write a new one. If they had written a new one they would not cover the transmission repairs on the new policy because it would have been a preexisting problem. Car Shield and the their adjuster arm American Shield are rip offs and refuse to correct the problem they created. Now the car is apart and the transmission shop want $1900.00 to fix the car. Don't get Car Shield.

    Be very careful when you purchase any type of plan like this and make sure you are clear on what is covered and what will NOT be covered. In late 2017 I purchased Carshield for my 2008 vehicle with the knowledge of knowing that this vehicle would begin to need some major repairs due to the age and mileage (over 120,000 miles). I was correct. About 4 months into my plan I had brought my vehicle in because it didn't feel quite right. When it came time for my mechanic to contact Carshield for the repairs we were told NONE of the repairs needed were covered by the plan. I was facing over $4,000.00 in repairs and the insurance I purchased and was told that these types of repairs would be covered were not. I needed to have my entire suspension system repaired, and not one thing was covered. I then proceeded to cancel this policy that I had not yet fully paid for and had to purchase new vehicle.

I have had to call them twice today the first time waiting on hold for 48 minutes and the second time waiting for 49 minutes. The inspection was done the day prior and everything was already determined by the dealership that needed to be prepared. Now today at the end of the day they decide that they need to look at my suspension for any modifications delaying the process even further. The second call was for the why was this not checked in the first place. All I got was, "Sorry for wasting your time, but can't do anything."

    CarShield advertisement states Car Shield handles claims; they do not handle claims, they take your money, farm customers out to administrator's like American Auto Shield who farms out to "Stoprepairbills.com". They strung me along for weeks, 100's of minutes per day on hold while I was out tow and rental fees for a month+, by coincidence, after Car Shield subtracted another payment, the next day my legitimate claim was denied. I was directed to fake websites, I have pictures of them, documentation, I received "your claim is closed, hope your service was good," a week previous to official denial - I requested the denial in writing because I received many different answers for reasoning - never received the email.

    Car Shield advertising and reviews are fake: they do not handle claims, Peace of Mind is a nightmare. They uses "administrators" as buffers for denial. They have multiple website to hide their deception, they have a "F" rating with the BBB. They advertise on all social media sites but allow no interaction, they show comments have been made but they will not display.

    I have filed complaints with the BBB regarding Car Shield and America Auto Shield, also with The Federal Trade Commission for false advertising; my expenses are building as I find alternative methods for repairs on top of tow and rental expenses.

I was at work so I couldn't pick up, but they called three times in five minutes. The fourth time they called I was able to pick it up and I had ten minutes. In less then four minutes the sales person told me that the warranty for my car would be $4,200 paid over 18 months and what cards what I like to put it on. WHAT? Way more expensive than the dealer. When I said no thanks it dropped 50%, wow! Right there I think it might be a scam. Now this "sounds" like a good deal but it's still a good amount of money and I wanted to think and talk it over with my significant other.

    The sales person says let's just put it on a card and if you decide later you can just get a refund. Right there you lost me. Any business that that uses these kind of pressures tactics usually don't pan out in the long run. Now in the beginning of this call I told him about my time restriction, 12 minutes into the call he would not let me end the conversation. I had to hang up. Maybe this is a good service? I don't know? My gut after this says stay away, be careful and if you still want to purchase this service at least turn down their first offer and make them drop at least 50%. Good luck!!

    My experience has been terrible with this company. I have call roadside assistance twice and never got helped. I been with this company since Nov 2018. And my claim has been cancelled twice. I called back to customer service which I got another person which tells me that I refused the tow that was set up for me. Which I never heard back from anyone. I felt like I been wasting money with this company. I hope they live up to what they are say about covering my auto repairs because they lied about the roadside assistance.

    First, I didn't have to wait on hold very long at all. That is golden. When Chloe answered my call, she listened carefully and understood why I was calling. (I hit a deer with my car and the insurance company totaled the vehicle--and I subsequently was issued a salvage certificate, and then a new title when I purchased the car back from the insurance company.) She told me she was going to ask her supervisor because it was not a typical inquiry, and when she came back she said that she would refer my question to the correct department to handle policy interpretation, which makes sense to me. She also put a follow-up on my inquiry so that if my policy is voided by the salvage certificate, my credit card wouldn't be charged for coverage the policy can no longer provide.

    Chloe was kind, friendly, attentive and professional in her handling of my call. Even though I haven't had the occasion to use the policy I purchased in Oct. 2018, and may no longer be covered, I'm very impressed with the excellent customer service I received from Chloe today. I would gladly recommend CarShield to anyone I think can benefit from their coverage.

    I purchased CarShield in early January for my 2015 Town and Country with 102,000 miles. As it turns out, we had an engine issue last week with a valve. I took the Van in on the morning of 2/20. The dealership attempted to contact them that day. The dealer sat on hold for 4 hours with no one answering. I called several times and was placed on hold too. I left a number for them to call me back and, of course, that never happened. The dealer finally, on the 21st got a hold of the Engine group and they told him an inspector would have to view the car. The inspector called and stated he might get there Friday but more likely Monday. So Monday morning he inspected the car and stated he would have to write up a report and submit it. That would be done within 24 hours. The dealer has been on hold with CarShield for last 2 hours trying to get approval to do the work.

    I had to rent a car for this time period which, of course, CarShield won't cover because they have not approved the work. We are still waiting for SOMEONE to answer the phone at CarShield. I would suggest you consider another Automotive Warranty service. This is a horrible way to run a business and steal money. I would invite someone from CarShield Management to contact me directly to help with this issue.

    We have a car that is a little bit later model. And once we explained to CarShield what we wanted from them, they had the exact plan that we needed. The person that sold us the warranty made sure that we got the coverage that we wanted. And he worked with us on the price because we were really particular about what was in the warranty and he made sure he got the top of the line.

    I talked to a guy when we were getting ready to take the car in for service, and I was asking him about repairs because we had a diagnostic test ran on the car. We knew what part it needed to be, and he was snappy. That was the first time I had ever called customer service because we didn't need to use the warranty until that particular time. He said he didn't have time to look up all that stuff. He told us to just take the car in, and he'd let us know if CarShield would cover it or not. But CarShield took care of getting the car fixed after I took it in. We paid our deductible and everything's fine. I would recommend them.

    CarShield told me that my car has a warranty on it that I could have purchased.

The reps were very helpful, friendly and cool. They broke down around the payment ranges and all that.

    However, I was covered for five years from what they had told me, and they basically stated that I had to make a full payment, and between those five years, it was gonna be about 3,000. I actually ended up covering it a little bit sooner. I called one of the specialists on there, and they said since I already had paid the whole amount, I was still covered for two more years. I have filed a claim for my transmission because it faltered and it started going bad. I was basically not able to use my car for two weeks. CarShield ended up covering me on it. They gave me a used transmission, but it worked perfectly so I was able to get my car back.

    I needed an extended coverage for my car due to its age and mileage. I looked at CarShield online after I saw their advertisement on TV and I contacted them. The reps I talked to knew all the policies but they were a little forceful. I wanted to shop around a little bit but they continued to lower their price point and since I felt comfortable with that they offered me, I went ahead with that.

    Once, the check engine light on my car went on so I took it to the shop to see what the problem was. They checked to see what the codes came up with and told me the severity of the problem. I gave them the information for CarShield and they contacted the warranty company. Initially, CarShield would not cover the issue until they could do further investigation to see if the issue was because of maintenance neglect or if it was an actual mechanical issue. I knew I wasn’t at fault because I had done maintenance on the vehicle but I had to authorize the auto mechanic to tear down the engine to a certain point where they could have an investigator come out, take pictures, and forward those pictures back to CarShield to determine if they were going to cover the cost or not. It was a $1,900 breakdown of the engine without any guarantee so I was taking a leap of faith.

    When I signed up with CarShield, I didn't do a very thorough check on their reviews but at that point, I did and I found that there were a few comments from previous policyholders that were not reimbursed. So, I had a lot of doubts. But CarShield's investigator agreed that the issue was something that was not because of neglect and they decided that they'd cover the cost of the repair.

    The engine replacement could have been completed a day sooner but I was given the option to go with an engine that was completely covered by CarShield and I didn't know how good that engine was. So, I went to a Ford Motor Company certified mechanic and I was given the option to put a Ford certified engine with a Ford certified warranty in the car with a condition that I would have to cover out of pocket the cost difference between that engine and the engine that CarShield agreed to pay for. I went with the Ford option and covered the difference out of pocket.

    In the end, I was happy that CarShield covered the repair given the fact that there were some doubts initially and I had to take a leap of faith. But the fact that it took as long as it did for them to finally say that they'd cover it by getting an investigator out there wasn’t very timely at all. The process was supposed to take a couple of days but the car was at the shop for almost two weeks. Plus, I had a six-day period where I had no rental vehicle coverage and I was in limbo. And because of that, I can't say that I'm happy with my experience.

    The credit union that I deal with would not give me a full bumper-to-bumper extended warranty on my ’08 Corvette. They would only give me an engine and power train. I got something in the mail from CarShield and it said that I could call and talk to them. So I called the number and talked to one of the reps. The rep said they could give me a full bumper-to-bumper warranty. It was a little more than the credit union, but it covered a lot more. It sounded like a good deal.

    I've had many extended warranty services and I cancel them as soon as I have the actual brochure and I have read it through about three times, and I know what they'll cover and what they'll not cover. As soon as they try and pull a fast one and say, “Well, that might have been covered,” I tell them, “No, no, no. It says right here in black and white on this piece of paper, you're covering that part.” When they then try to pull some funny business, I tell them that they're done. They're not standing up to what they say they are.

    Right on the get-go, I had some gasket leaks on the Corvette. It was found when an oil change was being done on the car. I double-checked with the book to see what CarShield was covering, and sure enough, it said that, “We cover all engine and rear-end gaskets from leaking.” I knew that I was 100% covered. But then, it happened that the CD changer in the car quit loading at the same time. So I looked it up as well and I said, “No, it covers factory to factory CD warranty on a radio.” So, all three things I was 100% positive are supposed to be covered and there shouldn’t be any problems. I told that to the Chevy dealership, asked them to call CarShield and have a deductible.

    The person at the dealership called back and said that a CarShield rep was coming out to go over everything that we had written down. He'd be there in two days and then he'd say yes or no on everything. I said, “Okay, fine. We'll see how good CarShield is gonna be.” The rep did come out and the Chevy service writer called me up and said that they were covering everything, that they were very good. He even added that they were gonna cover some of the loops that were coming out. I asked how was the CarShield guy and I was told that he was great. CarShield was very fair and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do, and everything that was in writing, they covered.

    I recently had some issues with my truck. My engine light came on and I took it to the dealership and they contacted CarShield. They had my truck for over two months, the first time. They said I had some bad lifters and they only address one side of the motor. And you’re never supposed to do anything like that. If you had any lifter issues in your engine, you should replace all those lifters. And now, my engine light is back on again. They called and said I need a pressure release valve, and CarShield did not replace that. They said because that’s a worn part. If my lifters’ a worn part, of course it’s gonna wear it out. They should rebuild the whole engine.

    And now, I have an appointment to go back next week because when they replaced all those lifters. I understand they pay $3,800 and I had to pay 100 bucks for diagnostic checks and all that. They charged me with a spark plug. I just had new plugs put in that truck last year, and a tune up last year. From my understanding, they’re gonna go through the oil pump and see if the oil pump is working properly, if it’s not the switch. Worst scenario, I’m gonna be out another $800 for the switch because CarShield won’t replace the switch. It’s almost like I’m paying for my warranty and the warranty ain’t taking care of my needs for the truck. I don’t like that at all.

    When I called and asked, initially, about the lifters all they said that it was bad in a truck. When I called they sent me to the actual warranty company, because CarShield is just a face. I talked to somebody else and they were telling me they were gonna fix it but it depends if I didn’t have any water damage. They should have found out if I had any water damage before they okayed the warranty on my truck. Don’t wait until I have an issue. Right now I got an appointment to take my truck back in when the mechanic will be back off vacation. So then I’m gonna be out of more money if it’s just the valve switch, because CarShield said that’s a worn part. But that’s a related worn part to this engine light coming on. They didn’t fix the problem. They only addressed half the issue.

    The best way to describe my experience is by stating that I knew I was dealing with an experienced person whom I enjoyed speaking with. She had expert knowledge on the coverage information without having to refer me to someone else.

    My Ford vehicle has a service contract from CarShield. It is for comfort and reassurance that if anything goes wrong, it can be remedied quickly. When I dealt with my rep, it was an easy and straightforward interaction. However, I had some issues that came up with the vehicle itself and I was extremely disappointed that they didn’t stand up for the warranty that I thought I was buying. The issue was essentially an oil leak on the top of the engine and it wasn’t covered.

    I was very frustrated because I'd taken it to several dealers and they kept saying the same thing. It was an oil leak but it was near the fuel pump. People weren’t seeing between the lines. So, I had to go out of pocket and had the oil leak fixed. It was almost $4,000. I have a receipt but I just didn’t know who to fax it to that shows that it was an oil gasket, not a gasoline or a fuel gasket that was the problem. The situation was handled poorly and I wanted to talk to a manager. CarShield was easy to get into, but now I'm realizing that if they are not gonna cover everything then why should I go with it? With that, I won’t be using CarShield anymore.

    This company is a complete scam. I called them up today and made a claim for my 2002 GMC Yukon SLT and I was told that they don't cover the seals or the block of the motor. Now when I bought the policy and went over their contract they said they did cover those parts. The contract is very confusing and I called the company and they reassured me that those parts would be covered well after I call the claims department and getting a very rude guy on the phone. I call the account Department and I explained to them that, "If y'all don't cover the block and seals then what am I paying y'all for." They said they could not refund me my money since it was longer than 30 days.

    I've been having the policy for 2 months now but they lie to me to make me stay on the policy till time ran out. All the receptionist could tell me was, "Oh I'm sorry you had a bad experience." I told her this is a scam and you are not an honest person. I also explained to her that if I did not get it fixed the vehicle would get worse over time and then they would not cover the policy because of negligence but it's their fault that there is negligence in the first place so if you're thinking about getting this policy with this company just don't.
