I saw CarShield on TV, and it piqued my interest. Signing up online was easy, and the price was good for the coverage I got. I’m very satisfied.

I've had CarShield for quite a while. When submitting a claim, anytime we have to spend any money, we got an attitude about it. But the service is always good. I had a deductible that I wasn't in agreement with, but I looked at what theservice would normally cost and I just got quiet about it. The dealership always took care of any claim.
Willie, we’re so happy to hear from you and appreciate you sharing your experience! It’s great to know your claim went smoothly and that your coverage has given you real peace of mind. We understand how deductibles can feel at first, but we’re thrilled the protection and savings made it worth it. Thank you for your trust and for recommending CarShield!

I contacted CarShield through the telephone and tried to apply with them, but they turned me down. They said that the odometer had too much mileage on it at the year of the vehicle and the odometer had been turned back. I had no idea when I bought the car.

I had CarShield before on my other car. The signup process was too rushed. They did not give me a chance to think about it. I knew I needed it, but I wanted a day to call back after I got quoted. But then I was told that the quote that they gave me then is not going to be good if I call back, so I got it. That would have been my only complaint.
And then, the last time that I had the CarShield on my other car, it seems like that everything that was broken down was not covered by CarShield. The motor mounts were not covered and something in the engine that I thought should have been covered was not covered. But I did get it again for another car. So I'll have to see if CarShield stands by their word about getting the parts fixed.

I've had coverage with CarShield for many years right now. I got it when I had the 2007 Grand Caravan and AAA. When I saw what it covered, I figured I'd take a chance and it saved me a lot of money.
My radio blew out twice in my 2016 Dodge. If it wasn’t for CarShield, that would have been a lot of money. It was never a problem getting in touch with a representative. The only problem I had is with car dealerships. My one car dealer who sells used cars, he had no problem with it. Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, they had problems with it. They don't want to give up their profit or write-off.
And the radio I just got about a year ago, that was the second one that burned out on this 2016 Dodge. So when they went to reorder the same one, they didn't make it anymore. So I actually got a Bluetooth. It's got USB input, an auxiliary input, I can have Sirius radio if I want it. My cellphone answers through it. Everything is hands-free.
Kevin, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad your CarShield coverage saved you money and even led to an upgraded radio system.

It was pretty easy to sign up with CarShield. The first time I filed a claim, they took care of everything. This last time, I had to do everything. I brought my car to the place they recommended and when I brought it out, it had a whole another set of issues that wasn’t there when I first started. I called CarShield and they told me to be firm with them. This last time was just horrible. I was really thinking about canceling my policy.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the monthly Powertrain Gold plan. You might think you are covered for the powertrain, but you may not be. Read and reread and get a mechanic to read the coverage that you are getting. My transmission started giving me trouble, took to a dealer. I was told that I would be responsible for any portion CarShield did not pay. Dealer contacted CarShield and it was denied based on the warranty (some parts in the transmission are not covered). Again, please read what is covered under the warranty. This is going to cost me 4000 dollars.

I needed a policy to cover with anything that happened with my car because the warranty on it had stopped. I knew I was going to need something to cover it because I'm a female by myself. So, I didn't want any problems headed down the road to when I need my car fixed. I got a contract with CarShield and I've been with them for almost four years. I filed a couple of claims with them and the process was smooth. So, I'm happy with that. I reached out to them to start the claim, then they contacted the mechanic's office. and they finished up the process from there. For a couple of instances, I went on and paid for the service on my Porsche, and CarShield did what they had to do on their end.
Other than that, I noticed that got to go back and forth with the mechanic about who was going to have the better price in shipping parts. When the parts are local, they should just go with the local shop and stop trying to undercut everything or go with cheaper parts. Also, for the price I'm paying, they should incorporate the cost of the parts in. Other than that, I use their app on my phone and it's user-friendly. So far, my experiences with CarShield have been okay and I have no complaints.

Most of the advertisement that I had seen on the television curved me into CarShield's way and since then, it has been a great pleasure to work with them.

I was interested in CarShield when I saw their commercials. I gave them a call to see what they were offering. The sign-up process was very good. The guy that I spoke to explained everything in detail. He told me the pricing. He went over everything that's on the paperwork and details and told me how my account was set up. I made a claim a few months ago. I had an issue with my vehicle. I had to call because the mechanic shop said that I would have to call first. Then once I called CarShield, then they called them to verify everything. The claim process was fast once I spoke to the guy on the phone. The person I spoke to transferred me to a guy. Then they gave me a claim number. After that, they reached out to the shop as well.
The claim process was good. CarShield called me back to confirm if I wanted to proceed with the repair. Then I received an email and a text message saying that the process was through and sent me an email of the documentation as well.

The CarShield policy is what I expected of that type of aftermarket coverage. Nothing was very bad. Nothing was great with it because when the car is so old, they can only cover so much. But I knew that, so there were no surprises. When I had a claim, they paid a portion of it, but there were other items that were part of the work that were not exactly covered. The paperwork that CarShield had and the paperwork that I paid were a little different, but overall, everything went smoothly.

The claims process at CarShield was a little vigorous for me. The process is you take your car to a dealership, and they call them and file the claim. However, I had to be on three-way with them to even get them to give the place that they have under their umbrella to get your car fixed to get a claim number. The problem was they wanted to know what the exact part was, and the man was saying, if he goes in to find out the exact part, that it would be nine hours' worth of labor.
CarShield said, “We don't have the exact part. We're not gonna pay for the labor.” I said, “How can they find out the exact part if you don't wanna pay for the labor?” This last time, I had an issue with CarShield. It wasn’t a good experience. In the end, I had to say that I would pay for the labor, although, in the end, it was the part that was covered and CarShield paid. But it was a little back and forth to even get the work that my car had been with them for a month.
Nobody told me anything about the rental and then because I didn't have a claim number, I would be responsible for the rental. So it was a whole lot of poor communication. That was my second claim. My first claim was the same. There wasn't any problem with getting a claim number. This time, it was a problem with receiving the payment. The car was done. It had been with them for a month. The car was completed. I got there to check out, and they' said, “Oh, CarShield has not paid us.” I had to get on the phone with CarShield to get them to pay so I could get my car. It was just a headache.

Our claims process is designed to ensure that the cause of a failure is clearly determined so that coverage can be appropriately applied and that both parts and labor rates are in accordance with industry standards.

For my claim with CarShield, I had the owner of the transmission shop call, and they took it all by their selves and worked it out. But they didn't come close to paying the whole bill, but it sure saved a lot of money. I had a $100 deductible, and that was fine, but it cost me $1,000. I paid $1,000 so $100 went to my deductible and $900 went to the part that they wouldn't pay. They did what they said they would do to an extent, but I went to a place that a transmission was like 5,500, GM wanted over 8,000. CarShield has a list, and if the broke down part is on the list, it looks like they do a good job paying. The only problem is sometimes, I think it should be on the list but they say no.

My factory warranty was running out so I needed another one. I went with CarShield based on the commercials. In any event, whatever I needed, I got it fixed, but I still needed more work done because it was like a partial thing. I only got one side done. But nevertheless, eventually, I was able to get the whole thing corrected permanently.
After I got that done, then the other battery might have been acting up. But when I went back to the dealership, they couldn't confirm or say it is, because they were saying it might be, but when they did the diagnostics for it, it was showing that it was negative.
I went to another dealership, Abeloff. They found it right away. It happened to be the battery. But I had to pay out-of-pocket because they said that they do not accept CarShield as coverage because they've been having problems with them. When I was trying to get reimbursed for it, I spoke with somebody from CarShield. They said, “We don't do batteries.” My experience with CarShield so far, with the exception of the battery, has been good.

CarShield had to replace the transmission in my car twice and it’s working properly now. But they did not do what they advertised and I ended up paying $629 to C&C Automotive downtown. I’ve worked with C&C before and like their service. CarShield initially told me that C&C was not a recognized dealer, but C&C told me they had worked with CarShield customers before. I stayed with C&C and they completed the repair. One other thing is that I received about 10 different phone calls with conflicting information about what I owed.

CarShield was awful. I had it for about four years and never had a claim. When I put in for a claim, it took close to nine weeks to fix my car. The Cadillac dealer said the issue was the front differential for my transmission. They had the part, then they sent it to CarShield and told them they got a part. It took CarShield forever to call back and tell them that, “We're not gonna use it. That’s too much. We're gonna get our own part.” CarShield decided to pick up the part and send it to the dealer. It took the dealer two days to fix my car, which sat in the Cadillac dealer for close to eight weeks. That service is horrible.
When I called customer service and talked to them, they acted like they couldn't do anything. They had to wait. They kept giving me all kinds of excuses and they kept procrastinating with the whole situation. The claim shouldn't have taken that long. If it was done in two weeks, or three at the top, I would have given them a better rating, but the waiting took forever and I wasn't satisfied. However, I’m still with CarShield because I still have my truck, and until I get rid of it, I’d stay with them. I don't think I can go to another place and get a warranty with the mileage, so I'm not gonna leave them.

I thought CarShield was the best one to be with, but I hadn't had anybody but them, so I don't have anybody to compare it with. My technician's been handling my claim, but in terms of coverage, I thought I had the top policy with CarShield, but I don't. My policy was supposed to be 129, and they knocked it down to 109. I thought I was getting the Platinum instead of the Gold. They don't cover a lot of stuff like electronics, then when my motor was messed up, they only covered two valves that were bent. I needed a motor, but they wouldn't pay for the whole motor. So, I had to pay for the rebuilt motor.

The first contract I had with CarShield was $109 a month, then I called to cancel it because it was getting to be too much. They knocked it down to $69, which was great, but I don't know if I have the same protection that I had before for $109 as I have for $69. That's a question I'd like answered and I've called CarShield twice. I would like to get a copy of what is covered under my contract. It's been about three months, and I've never received it.
In terms of claims, they've had to change a tire twice for me. About two years ago though, I had a claim and it was denied. It was something about the automatic brake system, ABS, and it cost me $240 to find out it wasn't covered. I took the car to the dealer to have them look at it and that's when they came back and said, “No. You owe us $240.” CarShield won't pay for it.

CarShield's reputation was good. I've had my auto warranty with them for about five years. The only thing is I had to have some parking sensors put in my front bumper. When I took it to the place that took CarShield, they said, “They're gonna send their own sensors. They're gonna be aftermarket. They're not gonna be original equipment.” I wanted the Lexus sensors put in, so I had to pay outside the program to get the quality sensors that I required. Had I known that CarShield was going to send their own products, and we didn't know what kind they were going to be, I may have thought twice about it. CarShield worked well with me. The only issue I had was that the sensors they were gonna put were the ones for $19 on eBay. The sensors from Lexus were $220 a piece. Other than that, the experience was fine.

CarShield told me I had bumper-to-bumper coverage but that's not what I got. They said they didn't do a catalytic converter. They said I needed one on my car. So, I had to go out of pocket over $2,000 for that, plus still paying them monthly fees. That was disappointing because with what I had bought from Ford, my car was covered bumper-to-bumper. I asked CarShield, “What is covered? Because I thought that was a part of the engine. And if the catalytic converter wasn't running, so how was I covered?” It was a misunderstanding. If I recommend them to a friend and tell them, “They are great,” that person would be stuck with something like I was.
We’re sorry to hear about the frustration surrounding your coverage—it’s completely understandable to be disappointed after an unexpected out-of-pocket expense.
To clarify, CarShield does not use the term "bumper-to-bumper” as it can be misleading. Our plans do not include cosmetic parts like bumpers, and we aim to be as transparent as possible about what's covered.
Regarding the catalytic converter, it is a listed exclusion in all of our contracts. This is due to varying emissions regulations by state and the high theft rate of this part, making it a high-risk item.
We apologize for any misunderstanding during your sign-up process. If you have any further questions, we’d be happy to review your coverage in detail.

CarShield didn’t honor my contract. I paid faithfully for years believing that if my vehicle ever broke down, I would have peace of mind knowing repairs would be covered. That turned out not to be the case. My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee overheated in extreme Arizona heat. I immediately pulled over and had it towed to a repair facility. At no time was the vehicle driven while overheating. Despite this, CarShield’s administrator, American Auto Shield, denied coverage, claiming ‘neglect.’ They also refused to send an inspector after the vehicle was moved, even though the contract specifically provides for inspection. This left me with no fair evaluation of my claim.
CarShield also failed to provide a rental vehicle, which the policy clearly states should be provided during repairs. As a result, I have been without my Jeep for more than a month, while continuing to make loan and insurance payments on a car I cannot drive. They offered me only a partial settlement that would not come close to covering the cost of repair, and only if I signed away further rights. In my opinion, this company takes money up front but avoids responsibility when it matters. Consumers deserve to know that CarShield did not honor my contract and left me stranded and paying out of pocket.
Thank you for providing the necessary information. We’ve completed a thorough review of your claim, including evaluations by both our Escalations and Legal teams. After careful consideration, it was confirmed that the claim was adjudicated correctly, and the denial will remain in place.
Based on the details received from the repair facility, it was determined that the vehicle was operated while in an overheat condition, which led to further damage. Unfortunately, continued operation under such conditions is specifically excluded from coverage under all of our contracts.
That said, in an effort to assist, our Claims team approved a credit related to the initial head gasket failure, which was identified as the root cause. However, we are unable to authorize any further coverage for the additional damage resulting from continued operation.

My car was getting a little bit older. I thought I might need to get extended coverage just to cover the cost. I signed up with CarShield, but it was not a very pleasant experience. I'm very dissatisfied.
It was my first time to do an extended warranty and I was trying to get information first so I could make a decision. CarShield gave me quite a reasonable deal and at the time, I didn't know that it was a good deal. I wanted to shop around and get back to them. When I got back to them, they would not give me the same amount. They wouldn't offer me the same policy.
I asked them to send me the information so I can go through it before I sign anything. But they were like, "Why would you wanna do that? You either take the deal or you don't." I would like to understand what I'm signing up for. And then another rep said that if I come back, then things may have changed again. So, I signed up only to figure out that I signed up for the wrong thing.
I called back and said this was not what I wanted. They added $100 on top of it. Up to now, I feel like I was really made a fool. I still want the one that I had requested and not the ones that they sold me at the price that they gave me, because that's what I thought I was getting.

I was the one stuck looking for a place to take it, but they referred me to another dealer in my area and said that they take CarShield.
When I called them, they said they accept it. I had to bring my car in so they could assess it and see if CarShield would pay anything to get it fixed. After they looked at the car, they told me what was covered under the CarShield brand and what I’d have to pay for. I agreed and let them fix the car. CarShield paid the amount they were supposed to pay and then I paid the balance.
I was very satisfied because I got the work done and I have never had another problem with it. Now, I have another dealer that I go to. I don’t even go back to my old dealer anymore because if you need service, you need service now, and it saves me being disgruntled. When I bought another car, I signed up for CarShield automatically. I have CarShield on my latest car, and I’ve told other people to get it.

I called CarShield to know what they had to say. I went ahead with them. I bought a used 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe and it has over 100,000 miles on it. The CarShield rep was very pleasant and he answered all my questions. He explained everything to me. I felt they were a little pushy like, “Today, if you sign up, we can give you a discount.” I used to work in customer service and I know that tactic. For any kind of purchase like a car warranty, I would like 24 to 48 hours to think about it. The other thing is I feel like I'm paying almost $200 a month for nothing. I could be banking the $200 a month and just put it away for the car. Those aside, both the signup process and the customer experience were positive.

I called CarShield when my car failed the emissions test to find out if the part they were referencing would be covered under my policy. They confirmed that it would be covered. I also asked if Bob Bell was a service dealer that they recognize as a licensed dealer, to which they said, absolutely. So I brought my car to Bob Bell. The rep said that I should have Bob Bell call CarShield before they do any work. Bob Bell looked at the problem and had to keep the car for the diagnostic tests, which took almost a day to run to identify not only what the problem was, but exactly where it was located. They called me and told me that the problem is the rotary arm, and they could fix it because they had the part, but they'd have to have it for another day.
Bob Bell said they already called CarShield andCarShield said that, I know, that the service is covered under my plan. I said, okay, thank you. So they called me back to confirm if I wanted them to go ahead and proceed with the repairs. And they said they had not yet heard from CarShield, but they knew from the previous conversation that there should be no problem. So I said, yes, please, because I need my car. They said, no problem. I mentioned about renting a car for the meantime but they said that I shouldn't have to because they're gonna try to have it done by that afternoon.
So I asked CarShield if they would cover the rental car, and I was told no because they weren't gonna have my car that long. That's not the understanding I had of the policy, but okay. That was the last conversation I had with CarShield. When I called to find out if my car was ready, Bob Bell said yes and they told me that CarShield reminded them that I had a $250 deductible, which would be my part. I said, okay. The Bob Bell rep said, they're taking that off of the part of the bill that's covered under emissions. The maintenance part of it would not be covered. I understood that, so I'll pay the difference. When I got the bill home, I realized that CarShield hadn't paid anything. CarShield called me to say that they haven't heard back from Bob Bell. I was surprised and the lady was very nasty with her response that they didn't get a callback.
I explained that according to what Bob Bell told me, once CarShield gave them the go-ahead to fix my car and that everything was set because they fixed it, CarShield told them that I had a $250 deductible. They confirmed with me that I was able to pay that. I paid the difference on the maintenance fees that Bob Bell had to do. The rep said that none of it was covered because Bob Bell wasn't supposed to do anything until CarShield got back to them with authorization. Well, that's not what the other CarShield rep told me at the beginning. The rep continued to tell me that I can't get any of my money back. The lady was very rude. She could have at least given me an explanation or used a tone with me that was friendlier than what I was getting. Her tone was more of I was annoying her for having to question a few things.
The next day they sent me a survey. I did a terrible survey on them because I told them all of this and that I really wanted somebody to contact me and advise me why I should keep paying this policy. The next day after that, I got a phone call informing me that I could file an appeal and they would send me the appeal information. So I went online and filed that. It’s supposed to take 7 to 10 business days, but I have not heard anything back at all. It’s been two weeks. I laid out $1,100, and it's not a whole lot of money, but I still would have liked to have the difference of what I had to pay on that one part.

Well, It’s fine, it works. I read the policy just the other day. I went over it a little bit and I know I have that $200 deductible. And I don't think I'm gonna have a problem ever, hopefully. I only drive 300 miles a month. I'm old. I don't go out at night. And so, I'm not even that concerned.
My car's almost six years old and all my guarantees have dropped off. I don't know if the big things have dropped off because I only have 30,000 miles on it. But I just assumed that they dropped off and I didn't want to be stuck with a big bill or something. If it breaks down, I wouldn't be able to pay a big bill.

I've had four claims in 10 years with CarShield. Usually, I take the car to a shop. They do the inspection and see what has to be done. They contact CarShield for the approval. Once approved, we get the job done. My last experience was not the best, though. My car was overheating, and it resulted in having to change the radiator fan. CarShield will only approve the amount if they ordered the part themselves as opposed to my mechanic ordering the part locally. If the mechanic was to do that, then my out-of-pocket expense was very high.
So I went along with the program and said, "Okay. You can order the part. Send it to the mechanic shop." They send the wrong part, so I was held up for a day. They sent another part again. After three days without the vehicle, they finally decide to let the mechanic order the part and let my deductible remain the same. That was three days without the vehicle and it was an inconvenience.
Prior to that, they were good, but as far as a car rental, what they're paying, you can't get a rental for that in Brooklyn.

When we turned the bill in, CarShield said they would pay for the labor but the tranfer case was not covered. I said, "Well, I see in the front here it's all listed.”
The guy said I better read my contract because further back in the contract, the transfer case isn't listed as being covered. Sure enough, it lists transfer case on the front page but deeper in the contract, transfer case wasn't listed. Out of the $7,800 they will pay $2,400 which is the labor. It's a mess and I would never deal with them again.
I didn't dig deep enough to see what their ratings were on service. Later then, after I ran into this problem, I started scoping it out on Google, and they are seemingly noted for finding loopholes to not have to pay things.Talking with them is great until you get down to the nitty gritty of what they're gonna pay. That's where the problem comes in. They sound good, but the production end of it is not much. The last person I talked to got nasty too.
James, we apologize for the frustration you’ve encountered and understand how disappointing this situation has been. Upon review, it was not noted that the transfer case wasn’t covered.

I kept CarShield for a whole year and paid $90 a month, but it never paid anything on repairs on my car. My car kept overheating and I had everything fixed every time it would overheat. Eventually, it damaged the motor and CarShield was only gonna pay a certain amount toward a motor. They won't replace the motor because they said the car kept overheating. That wasn't my fault.
Different things kept making it overheat. The water hose broke and that made the car overheat. Another time, the hose popped off of the reservoir and the car overheated. I had no control over that and I took care of everything every time it would overheat. I had cooling fans, hoses, and reservoirs done, but nothing was ever covered. I paid for all of that out of my own pocket.
A lot of places won't even accept CarShield because they have a hard time getting the claims. I can see why now that they just don't want to deal with them. I asked where I was taking the car if they would honor CarShield and they said they did. So I thought I would go ahead and take out the warranty. But nothing was ever covered. The only time I ever used it was for the towing to get my poor car to the shop. $90 a month for a year is a lot of money I put out just to be covered for towing. That was expensive. You would expect when you get a policy that you're gonna have some coverage on things.
When all of that started going wrong and my car needed a radiator, I didn't have a policy at the time. I paid $909 outright for a radiator, so I thought I'd better get CarShield. I thought most of what would have to be done in my car would be covered. But when I started looking, nothing, nothing, nothing. I never turned in claims because when I looked under the policy, whatever I was having done was never covered. They cover hardly anything that I ever had done on the car, except when it finally came to the motor.
They were nice and I could see their side of it. I was even gonna cancel one time and they lowered the deductible for me. I appreciated that. But I feel like I should get more out of the policy than what they're doing. I went ahead and dropped the policy and with my experience, I wouldn't do it again. I would have to have some policy that would cover more out of fixing up a car.
Louise, thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for the frustration you’ve felt and understand how disappointing it is when expectations don’t align with the outcome.
Upon review, we do see that a credit for the head gasket was authorized toward the replacement of the engine. However, the engine replacement itself was not approved, as the damage was determined to be the result of continued operation after the failure of the head gasket. Unfortunately, the contract does not provide coverage for damage caused by continued operation after a known failure, which applies in this case.

My warranty ran out on my car. It's a newer car, a 2016, with the electronic stuff. I have a touch screen and a lot of it is electronic stuff and computer-generated on the cars now. I know it's expensive when it needs to be repaired. That's the main reason I was interested in the program. I also want to help reverse some of the cost of my repairs.
The process was easy. But there is a stipulation, so you wanna make sure you look over all the stuff and make sure you get the level that you need. Don't let them oversell you. They didn't really try to do that because I told them exactly what I wanted. The rep told me three programs and he suggested the middle tier one because it covered everything that I needed. He went over the whole program with me—what it would cover and how much it would cost. Then he explained there's a 30-day waiting period before they will cover repairs. The rep explained everything really well and then I signed up. It gives me peace of mind to know if my computer stuff decides to go that it would be fixed.
I had a claim where I had to pay part of it because the car is a Volkswagen. Of course, a Volkswagen has to have a Volkswagen part. I should have thought about that before I bought the car. I had my ignition key repaired because it kept on sticking. The total bill was $900 and I ended up having to pay $220. But CarShield covered the majority of that. The dealership charges more for labor, which I totally get. Every place charges different. The part had to come from Germany because it's a Volkswagen.

Some of my family members have CarShield. I did my research because there are several companies out there. CarShield came out on top for me. The process of submitting a claim was smooth. When they sent me the updates, I did not read the entire packet fully, and I take the blame for that. It was in reference to a rental when I put my car in the shop. The only changes that they did was that you pay up front, and then they reimbursed you. I rented the car, submitted my receipt from the car rental place, and I received my refund back in less than seven days. It was really fast and I'm really impressed with them. Everything was taken care of through the phone call.

CarShield called me about three years ago and asked me to join them. The salesman told me about the plan and how much it would cost. I figured my car was old, so I was willing to pay the $100. He convinced me to get it since I didn’t have extended warranty. Now I have an issue with them and I’m not happy at all.
I got a Toyota RAV 4 2013, which I took to Toyota to check my oil. They told me to come back after I drove it for 1,000 miles. I did that, and they checked it, and it had no oil. We called CarShield to make a claim, and they sent someone to take pictures and check it. They sent the motor to Toyota, but they didn’t get anyone to sign for it. Now, the motor had been sitting there for the whole weekend, and anybody could have taken it without anyone knowing.
In the meantime, I didn’t have a car, so I had to rent one. They only give you 14 days from the time that your car is in the shop until you get it back. I was thinking 14 days is long enough for them to get the motor. I even waited three days to get a rental car. I called CarShield and asked them how much I could get for it, and they said up to $100 a day. I got a rental car from Enterprise for $50 a day and kept it for extra seven days. I know they're not gonna pay that much, so I paid that portion. That was $323.
It turned out CarShield didn’t even allow the $100 a day. They allowed me $37 a day. I thought I’ll get my $50 back per day for my 14 days and get my lump sum back to pay off my card that I used. No, no, no. The young man told me that I got a car that costs more than what they allow. I argued with him and said that if it says $100 in my plan, it should have been $100. I went over the 14 days, but I knew I was responsible for that so I paid my portion.
There's a lot of misinformation that they give to people, and they shouldn’t do that. I dropped the car off on June 21, this was during a holiday weekend, and didn’t get it back until July 21. I wasn't happy about that. Somebody even called me and tried to get me to change companies. She said CarShield was under some kind of investigation and they got lawsuits. I just said that I would just deal with them because they did do the motor. I just wasn't happy with any of it.

I first decided to get Car Shield because of their ads and guarantee to be their car if things stared to break down as cars can do after 10 yrs and I really like my truck and do most if not all the maintenance. After I enrolled in it, the next year I had an oil failure so I called and then put my truck in the shop, they said that that pump was not covered, even after talking they said that pump was not. The next year I had an electrical problem in the dash. I called and they don't cover dashboard electronic issues. I was hot. So I stopped paying and quit their plan. A few years later I was called and then sales person said that the new plan would cover everything that the old plan did not. I said no and they kept lowering the price. And gave me a good price for my second car with low miles. I was stupid and said yes. $99 for the truck and 119 for the 2016 Honda. Then 18 months later I had a problem with the 4 wheel dr.
I called and put and the agent was very rude to the shop I put it in then he denied the claim and said that as that it was not covered. I called and the agent / manager said that he saw where in the contract that the module was covered but he had to get it approved and 4 days later an agent called me and said that I had not driven my truck past the the supposedly begin contract mandatory miles. So it was not covered. So I told him that I want to close my account. And I had the auto pay dropped also.

Having rental assistance as soon as calling in the claim was one of the reasons why I purchased a CarShield policy. When I had to put my car in the shop in 2020, CarShield provided me with rental assistance right then and there. Now, the policy has changed, and they require you to rent the car which is inconvenient. I submitted a claim two weeks ago after dropping my car off to have the transmission replaced because it was slipping. They told me that I have to rent the car myself and submit a reimbursement which is a whole another process.
They went back and forth asking for paperwork to provide proof of knowledge of my car which prolonged the repair process. They are also sending me a transmission from the yard with 30,000 miles on it. But the junkyard is waiting for the part. I am now $800 down for the two-week rental, and I don’t have money anymore for another week. When they complete the claim, my plan is to drop it because it no longer benefits me. It’s a headache. I was so frustrated and my blood pressure was up.

In April, my car had been sitting. The lights on the dashboard came on for some reason. I took the car to Basil Ford to get it fixed and they gave me an estimate of how much it was gonna cost. CarShield wasn't paying for any of it. Also, the place where I was at scraped off my inspection sticker and I couldn't get an inspection. From April to July, my car was sitting because I couldn't drive it without the inspection sticker. I called CarShield and tried to see where I could go that they would pay like they were supposed to. They gave me a place called JB so I went there.
I gave them my CarShield details and they told me the same thing that Basil Ford said, “CarShield ain't gonna pay for nothing.” I happened to have a little bit of money, so I got the work done and I got my car back for $800. That was a bad experience. I am no longer with CarShield. They were saying that they didn’t cover certain stuff. When I got the book on stuff that I needed covered, the book said it was covered. The warranty seemed to be a con artist thing to me.
One time, CarShield did what they were supposed to do. I was trusting them and I stayed with them. The next time, they didn't do what they were supposed to do as mentioned in the commercials. It all started looking like fraud. I had to pay money two times when I shouldn't have had to pay.

It will soon be 14 days since I've had this issue because they give me a rental for 14 days. They're going to have to extend the rental because what's taking so long is CarShield sent their own transmission instead of letting the Dodge place get theirs because they could get it cheaper.

One of the concerns was how you handled the rental thing. I explained that with my old policy before I got my new Optima, they used to handle reimbursements when you rent a car.
The last time I dealt with the previous company, they didn’t give me my reimbursement check. I told him that was a horrible experience. With that insurer, it’s like going back and forth endlessly and arguing for nothing, because they’re hours away and there’s no one you can talk to directly. I let it go, it was only a few hundred bucks, so it is what it is.
So, when I talked to the guy from CarShield, I told him about my experience with the last company. He said, “No, we don’t do reimbursement checks, we handle it for you.” Perfect, that works out well.
Fast forward to June, I had an incident and talked to a young lady. She said, “Yeah, we do reimburse you.” I told her, I thought CarShield doesn’t do reimbursement checks for rentals. It's supposed to be handled directly, especially for a seven-day rental with my package, Platinum or Gold, I’m not sure. She said they only do reimbursement checks. That was one of the issues I had.
The other issue was my motor went out, and getting in touch with someone was kind of hard, which I understand, I’m not the only person dealing with CarShield. But when I finally got a hold of someone, the guy snapped at me. They were trying to get a receipt to figure out why my motor went out. I explained I didn’t know why and that I hadn’t added any oil myself. They mentioned I had been to Valvoline to get my oil checked or serviced.
I went to get my oil done, and he said, “Looks like you went to Valvoline, what was that for?” I said, “Oh, that was just an oil change.” He asked if that was it, and I said yes. Then he got a bit frustrated with me because I kept asking about the same thing. He raised his voice slightly not yelling, but more like, “Did you hear me?” and okay, we don’t need to go any further.
With the motor, I was a little confused. I knew I had to pay a deductible and find a mechanic, which I did. The mechanics gave them a price, but I didn’t understand why they couldn’t cover the rest beyond my $1,000 deductible. I thought it would work like this. If the repair is $7,000, I pay $1,000, they cover $6,000. That wasn’t the case.
They made it seem like they wouldn’t cover that much. They offered me about $4,000, and I said, okay, if you can find a motor for that price, I’ll go with it. But the motor they gave me had 104,000 miles, while my old motor had 160,000 miles. I realized I’d likely run into the same issue again in a year or so. That was another point of frustration for me.
They gave me a used motor with 104,000 miles, saying that’s all they could provide under my plan. It is what it is. I took the 104,000 miles because I had to keep going to two jobs to get to, my wife’s job, and taking my mom to work, so I needed the car running.
Then, when it came to getting the motor, I spoke to a young lady and explained I didn’t have a lot of extra money. I asked if it made sense to wait a week for my car rental, since I knew it would take time to get the motor, and I didn’t want to pay for the rental too early.
I don’t think the price is bad. It depends on the issue you have. They could probably lower it a bit to make it more affordable, but I pay $159 a month, which works for me. If they brought it down to around $99, I think that would be a lot better for most people.
Calvin, we sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused. We understand how important it is to feel supported—especially when unexpected vehicle issues arise.
While we're glad you found our initial presentation and team to be polite and informative, we regret that the follow-through did not meet your expectations. The delays, communication issues, and dissatisfaction with the motor and rental coverage clearly added stress, and that’s not the experience we aim to provide.

I find it very hard to understand why a company would require a contract with an initial payment before allowing a potential customer to read the contract. I did sign up after talking at length to a very polite gentleman who I came to trust. Once the payment was accepted and we completed our call, only then did I have access to the actual contract. It didn't take much reading to realize everything in this "agreement" (contract) gave this company every reason they would ever need to deny any claim. ("Worn parts excluded") I then called them back and cancelled the contract. But even with that, after the nice gentleman assured me any refund would be "instantly" returned, that was (is) not the case. The "agent"(s) I had to speak with was anything but cordial. She spoke with a rather angry voice and so fast I could barely understand a word she said. I'm waiting for my refund.

I've got two accounts with CarShield and I've made claims. I had some service work done on one of my trucks. But they didn't pay what they've advertised they're gonna pay and they made me turn in a bunch of more paperwork, which they should have had from day one when I signed up, such as the bill of sale of the vehicle. I was not told about that when I first took the policy out, and I didn't have to do that on the first vehicle that I insured with them.
It took about two weeks. So my vehicle was tied up for three weeks in the service shop. They wouldn't cover all of the hourly labor. The labor rate was $189 an hour, and they were only gonna pay $150, which I was never told from the beginning and there's nothing in my documents that say that. Then they argued with the service people, who are the only ones left in this area, Tucson, Arizona, that will even deal with them. Nobody else does. All the service shops that they did have in this area had quit. So right now, I'm considering moving to a different company. CarShield is not the insurer either. It's American Auto something. CarShield is just a broker. They're a middleman, which I just found out.
Mark, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and understand your frustration with the recent claim process. While certain documentation, such as a bill of sale, is not typically required, under specific circumstances, it may be requested to help verify details such as mileage or vehicle history.
Regarding labor rates, we’d like to clarify that during the initial sales call, it is explained that labor times and rates are subject to nationally recognized industry repair guides. While we strive to work with repair facilities across the country, we understand that some shops may choose not to follow these guidelines, which can present challenges in certain areas.

I know about CarShield, and my father-in-law uses it. So, that’s how I came up with the plan to use them also. And I also heard that the experience with them is good, and they are always on point in case of an accident, or damage, or something done to your vehicle. And they’re always there immediately if you need roadside assistance.
So, I signed up with them over the phone. I also received the hard copy of my warranty, and I did read over the coverage. The only problem is that I set up the account on my phone, but I can’t see the coverage on my phone. So, I did talk to a customer representative, and she told me that I’ll have to view it on my laptop or my computer.
And I had the full coverage that covers my engine. It’s a little bit expensive, but I do understand. And I try to work with it somehow because of the quality of the program that they have. So, I stick with it, but it’s a little bit on the high note. And I did the autopay, where it comes out every month.
I feel confident having it in case something happens. And even when I was talking to the guy, he was super cool, and I told him I just needed it just in case because stuff does happen. But because I got a mechanical background, I take care of my vehicle. I know how to treat it and how to take care of it. So, I told him that it’s best to have it and don’t need it than to need it and don’t have it. So, that was my reason to have it.
I’ve never had to call them out to do anything on my car yet. But so far, the service has been good whenever I reached out to them or when they reached out to me. And the representative was awesome. He did everything he could to give me the lowest rate possible, and even tried to give me other discounts on other stuff.

I am dealing with my first claim with Carshield and not happy how they work things, I have a 2018 Tahoe that I have to get my ac condenser changed and my touchscreen, I brought it to the dealership and they said it would be $2300 for everything. So I was thinking I just had to pay my $200 deductible but carshield wants me to pay $800 that’s with my deductible included because the adjuster says the dealership could get the parts cheaper and they are charging too much for labor, they told the dealership they could get the parts cheaper at O’reilly which the dealership told me they told carshield they can not get the parts from o’reilly. They have their place to get the parts and they would not be able to warranty parts from O’reilly. So apparently I guess anything we would need worked on they would go back and check to see if could get it cheaper somewhere else.
I’m sure knowing the dealership will use their parts and not go shop around other places, it seems like they will find a way not to have to pay what they should pay, I would not recommend getting carshield if we have to pay out of pocket like this, I should just be paying my deductible, they should let the customers know that they won’t pay what they are supposed to, looks like they will try getting out of paying what they should any kind of way, I really thought they would be a reputable place and pay our repairs but apparently not so like I said before I would not recommend anyone get carshield
Faith, we apologize for the frustration you've encountered during your first claim. After reviewing the situation, it appears the adjuster determined that the dealership’s pricing for parts and labor was higher than what is typically considered fair and reasonable based on nationally recognized industry standards. In these cases, we authorize amounts that align with those guidelines, which may include sourcing parts from reputable suppliers like O’Reilly to keep costs within your contract limits.
We understand that dealerships often have specific policies about where they source parts and may not accept alternatives. While this can create challenges, please know our intention is not to avoid paying for necessary repairs, but to ensure that coverage is applied appropriately and within contract terms.

Following the TV ad, I filled out something online, and somebody called me back within minutes. The salesperson was informative and gave me the information I needed based on my current needs, and I went with the offer. I rejected the offer a couple of times, but he never gave up. He explained the benefits and how it could benefit me in the long run. And I thought about it, and I sort of gave in because he was convincing enough. So, it was good.
The cost is reasonable, but I’m not 100% happy with the coverage. And it’s necessarily no one’s fault. It’s just that the car I have, with the year and the mileage on it, it didn’t qualify for the next tier. It’s just their different categories of offers. I just qualified for the Silver category. So, that’s the only disappointing thing. I think CarShield could look at that further and develop something better for people who have an older model and more miles, and still give better coverage. But, hopefully, if I need to use it, it’ll prove that it was worth getting it.

When my 2020 Ford F-150 had a covered issue, I submitted a claim — and they flat-out told the mechanic that " He don't care" and with no clear explanation kept prolonging the process. I was left on my own to cover thousands in repairs. to speak to a supervisor you have to be on a waiting list until they call you. 72 hrs latter.
Customer service was useless and unresponsive. I waited more than a month for a resolution, and all I got was a rejection and excuses.

Do NOT trust them. You’re better off burning your money than giving it to CarShield.

I've been with CarShield for over 5 years and have never filed a claim. I've now needed to file a claim for my transmission. They provided a salvaged transmission for repairs on my vehicle while I protested along with the service center. The service center offered a new transmission, but CarShield declined. They stated I would have to pay the difference even though my contract says they could use a new transmission. My truck has been in the shop for over a month, and I've only been offered 7 days of rental.
After the service center and I told CarShield on numerous 3-way calls that the salvaged unit proposed for my vehicle raises serious concerns regarding reliability, safety, and long-term value. They stood strong and would not budge, they went ahead and sent one, the service center received the transmission, and it was for the wrong make and model. Still no extension on rental. Finally get the salvaged transmission in for my make and model and now the transmission doesn't work. Still no rental extension and still no new transmission.
Derrick, we apologize for the frustration you've experienced. Upon further review, it was discussed that you had the option to use the repair facility’s parts, and a credit for the authorized amount would be applied toward the repair. You would be responsible for any out-of-pocket difference. However, it was noted at that time that the repair facility was not willing to accept shipped-in parts.
Since then, the repair facility agreed to accept the shipped transmission, and it was agreed upon by you to move forward with the authorized part. We understand the delays and frustrations this situation may have caused, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process.

Seeing CarShield’s commercials led me to start my engagement online before giving them a call and the process was straightforward; I provided my information online and was subsequently contacted by a representative.
During my interaction, I was clear about the coverage I needed, aiming for full coverage. The representative was able to assist me in acquiring this coverage seamlessly. My overall initial impression as a customer was positive—I felt knowledgeable about what I was signing up for and didn't find the process overwhelming.
However, I faced some complications when my first car was totaled within eight days of getting insured with CarShield. This situation is still unresolved, as I'm awaiting the refund of a full year's prepayment that I made. This has understandably added a layer of uncertainty to my experience, as I haven't had a chance to actually use their service.
When it came to signing up, I faced a minor stumbling block when trying to pay for a full year upfront. The initial representative I dealt with was competent, but the second person seemed unsure and required assistance from a supervisor. This delayed the process since they typically handle month-to-month payments, and I prefer prepaying. Ultimately, I did secure a fair deal, though the experience could have been smoother.
Given these mixed experiences—especially with the unresolved refund situation—I haven't been able to fully gauge or endorse their service just yet. However, in terms of customer interaction during the sign-up process, everything went relatively seamlessly.
Jayne, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. Upon further review, we can confirm that your refund has been processed. For more information regarding the return, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-587-4162.

I saw advertisements for CarShield featuring Ice-T and with the escalating prices around us, securing some form of coverage seemed like a financial necessity to me.
My journey with CarShield began on a less than ideal note. When I initially contacted them, I emphasized a strict budget, hoping to keep costs below $150. However, I found myself signing up for a policy that cost significantly more—$176, which took me by surprise. This change was rushed upon me without enough clarification on extra charges like taxes, which I deemed essential especially given how tight finances already are, being a single father.
The sales process didn't feel transparent. Although the representative stayed on the phone with me for an extended period to complete the sale—definitely an act of dedication—the payment agreed upon at that time far exceeded my communicated budget, without adequate explanation.
Moreover, the actual coverage didn't live up to expectations. Despite the increased cost, there was a noticeable lack of essential components in my package. Initially enticed by the notion of safeguarding main parts like the radiator or the engine. I wouldn't have a problem with this price with radiator in there. But they don't even have that in there, especially when it's supposed to be over 150 and it wasn't.
While the aspect they’ve nailed is the fixed pricing, providing no fears about sudden surges, the initial prices could've included honest detailing on tax, and premium differences ought to align better, considering my package's specifics.
In summary, navigating CarShield's unsigned route presented challenges, I hope they consider detailed upfront information exchanges in future interactions.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize that your initial interaction with CarShield left you feeling rushed and unclear about the details—especially when you came to us seeking support and financial relief during an already challenging time.
We genuinely appreciate your honesty, and we hear your concerns regarding pricing transparency, the scope of coverage, and communication during the enrollment process. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re committed to learning from it.
To help provide some context: the vehicle you enrolled—a Mercedes—is classified as a luxury vehicle, which inherently carries higher repair and maintenance costs. Because of this, and considering the vehicle’s age and mileage, our system placed you in the highest level of coverage we could offer to protect against the most critical and expensive repairs. This was done with your long-term benefit in mind, aiming to cover as many essential components as possible.
While the standard monthly cost for this plan was originally over $200, we understand budget limitations, especially as a single parent. Our representative worked to reduce the total to $176 after tax to help ease that burden.
If you have any remaining questions about your coverage, our customer service team is here to help clarify any details. We encourage you to reach out—we’re happy to assist and ensure everything is clearly understood.

I asked a few friends and checked CarShield’s benefits online, and I decided to go with them. The recommendation and information I received suggested that CarShield might offer better benefits compared to other options. My experience with their claim process has been mixed. The first claim I filed was handled wonderfully; they covered an extensive $1600 repair for a component that required attention. It felt reassuring. However, my recent experience was slightly different. The air conditioner's fan switch was faulty, and while the job amounted to $800, CarShield only covered half. I found myself wishing they had contributed more.
When signing up, I preferred to talk directly with a representative as I felt it enabled a better deal. The sign-up process was easy, and I’d rate that interaction a 5 for the convenience and clarity it afforded. I've briefly used their mobile app, though I would have to look for it now, as I don’t drive very often.
Pricing seems reasonable and I appreciate what CarShield offers. However, during my last claim, the garage faced a lengthy hold time. While this reflects broader workforce issues, it wasn't directly my problem. Nonetheless, CarShield did handle the claim.
As a whole, my experience with CarShield lands around a 4. While I'm generally pleased with their services, there's room for improvement, particularly in the claim handling aspect.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with us. We’re grateful you chose CarShield after careful research and trusted recommendations, and we’re pleased to hear that your first claim—covering a significant $1,600 repair—was handled to your satisfaction. That’s exactly the kind of peace of mind we strive to provide.
We also appreciate your positive feedback about our sign-up process and pricing. It's great to know our representatives were able to offer clarity and support during enrollment, and we’re glad to hear the overall value still resonates with you.
Regarding your recent claim, we understand your frustration and truly empathize with your concerns. In this case, two components were submitted to us for review. One was eligible for coverage under your specific plan and was approved accordingly. The other part, unfortunately, was not listed for coverage, which is why only a portion of the total repair cost was paid. We understand how this can be disappointing, especially when repair costs are high, and we're always here to help review the details with you to ensure full clarity.
We also appreciate your note about the hold time your repair facility experienced. While we're actively working to improve communication times industry-wide, we recognize that delays—regardless of cause—impact your experience, and we’re committed to making that process more seamless.
Your honest feedback helps us identify areas for improvement, and we're grateful for your overall satisfaction and thoughtful rating. If you'd like to discuss your plan in more detail or have questions about what is and isn't covered, our customer support team would be happy to assist.

My 2013 Chrysler 300, which has a high-performance engine, was costing too much to maintain under its previous warranty. CarShield gave me a really good deal by breaking the coverage into two parts: one for the engine and drivetrain, and the other for accessories. This offer was much more affordable than what I was paying earlier. In terms of signing up, the process was smooth. I've set everything up, payments are made directly from my bank, and that aspect of my experience has been hassle-free. For anyone with an older car, CarShield seems like a sensible choice. Maintaining my vehicle was getting expensive, and since I drive about 10,000 to 15,000 miles a year, the coverage CarShield offers gives me peace of mind. They explained their coverage clearly, offering significant savings compared to what I previously had. I look forward to trying out their services if needed, although my vehicle is running smoothly for now.
Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re so glad to hear that CarShield has been a helpful and affordable solution for your 2013 Chrysler 300, especially given the challenges of maintaining a high-performance vehicle.

I saw CarShield's commercial on TV. When I got it, it was a year before I paid my car off. It always seems once you pay the car off, that's when things go wrong. So far, my experience with CarShield has been positive. I've used their services twice, both times through my Subaru dealership. The issues I faced were quite pressing: electronic problems with my windows and an air conditioner fan malfunction, which gets crucial during our hot summers. Each time I visited the dealership, I only had to cover the deductible. The electronic issue alone would have cost me $1,200 out of pocket if not for the warranty.
The first incident involved a complete failure of the driver’s control for all windows, especially the passenger side ones. I couldn't control those windows from my seat, which was quite inconvenient. Fortunately, the dealership service was quick – they resolved both issues in just a day and even provided me with a rental car, which was great because I had errands to run.
I've never had any trouble contacting CarShield’s customer service. The process is straightforward; just a call to their service line gets me where I need to be. For friends or family asking for advice, I'd recommend CarShield. I believe in choosing middle-of-the-road options, where you get reasonable value for reasonable cost. It's much like buying tires – I won't opt for the cheapest or the highest-end, as I believe in getting what you pay for.
We’re so glad you chose CarShield at just the right time. You’re absolutely right: vehicle issues often seem to surface just after that final car payment, and we’re happy to have been there to help protect your investment.

We truly appreciate your kind words about our customer service and your practical, honest perspective on value. Like you, we believe in finding the right balance—coverage that’s dependable, straightforward, and fairly priced.

When friends compared Endurance and CarShield, both of which they dealt with, they recommended the latter.

I'm not positive about cheaper ‘cause I think Endurance was cheaper, but may offer less. A friend who had plans with both CarShield and another company believed that CarShield covered more items, even if it wasn't necessarily the cheapest option. After considering his feedback, I was convinced to give CarShield a try, aiming for bumper-to-bumper coverage initially but settling for powertrain coverage due to budget constraints. My vehicle is a 2019 Infiniti with 85,000 miles, so comprehensive coverage is important to me.

When I initially signed up, I received clear information that seemed promising. Yet, I was told there would be a waiting period of 25 days to 3 months before their service could actually be utilized.
The main issue arose when my car needed repairs. I filed a claim, but it was declined because CarShield argued I hadn't done enough oil changes on my vehicle. This was confusing as my car didn’t require frequent oil changes—a fact I clarified but to no avail. It seemed they attributed the problem to an existing issue, though I disagreed with their assessment.
This wasn’t the only negative encounter either. Another time, my car ended up at the shop with an engine that wouldn't start, even after a co-pay of $1000. The problem persisted, and I’m now relying on Uber to get around. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I can't recommend CarShield and would rate my satisfaction as poor.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding your recent claim and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the details.
After a thorough review, we show that only one claim was filed, which included several components: the left and right motor mounts, a potential water pump leak, an oil leak, and the alternator. Unfortunately, the alternator was not eligible for coverage, as it is not listed under your powertrain plan.
Our claims team worked closely with the repair facility, reviewing images and video provided to assess the reported leaks. Based on this review, the leaks were determined to be long-term in nature—presenting as saturation rather than active leaks—which indicates that they likely existed prior to the end of your coverage grace period. As such, they were considered pre-existing and not eligible under the terms of your contract.
It also appears there was a delay in receiving the necessary images and estimates for the motor mounts from the shop. Regarding maintenance concerns, there was a note that your last oil change exceeded 10,000 miles. While we recognize that your vehicle may have a longer-than-average oil change interval, it should not exceed 10,000 miles. However, we want to be clear—your claim was not denied due to this issue.
In the end, the motor mounts were approved for coverage, and payment was issued to the repair facility for the eligible repairs. We understand how frustrating and complex the claims process can feel, and we're here to answer any additional questions you may have about your coverage moving forward.

I kept my monthly payments to CarShield in good faith with the expectation of coverage when necessary. Unfortunately, my experience was incredibly frustrating. When I needed significant transmission repairs, which are precisely the situations I expected CarShield's service to cover, my claim was denied. They initially held back, stating the expense amount needed review, only to inform me two days later that the claim was rejected. This unexpected cost of $6,000 came right out of my pocket.
Feeling let down, I canceled my service with CarShield soon after, realizing that while I was prompt with my payments, their promises didn't hold up. I never received an attempt from their side to keep my loyalty, likely because I had already expressed my frustration during my last interactions with them.
My year-long relationship with CarShield ended only after filing that first claim. Reflecting on this experience, I would rate CarShield a one for customer service and overall reliability, as the resources promised were not there when I needed them. I also found their pricing comparatively mid-range — a two or three on the scale — slightly higher than some competitors.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We truly regret that your expectations weren’t met and understand how upsetting it must have been to face a major repair bill—especially after maintaining your policy in good faith.
After reviewing the details of your claim, it appears the repairs were completed before the necessary diagnostic and estimate were submitted for approval. We want to clarify that CarShield plans are not reimbursement-based, which is why all claims must be called in and approved prior to any work being performed. This process is explained during enrollment and is also noted on every page of the contract, stating clearly that: “No claims will be paid without prior authorization.”
That said, we completely understand your frustration and are sorry this critical step wasn’t clearer at the time. If you had contacted us before the repairs, there may have been an opportunity to assist.
We appreciate your year-long relationship with us and are genuinely sorry it ended on a disappointing note. Your feedback is important and will help us continue improving how we support our customers.

So far, my experience with CarShield has been considerably better in comparison. I do pay for my coverage routinely and had to pay a deductible; however, finding a reliable mechanic has been a challenge. For instance, during my last claim at a Southwest GMC, they seemed to be speculating rather than addressing the actual problem, causing frustration. Moreover, their lack of success in fixing my vehicle's issue compelled me to report the situation to CarShield, hoping they'll reclaim their money since the mechanics weren't up to the task.
Despite these roadblocks, CarShield stood out positively. They handled claims better than competitors did, which would lead me to rate them highly. As for advising family or friends, I'd confidently say CarShield delivers on their promised coverage. You get what you've paid for without the unwanted hassle.

CarShield's advertisements really stood out to me and I felt they provided the best deal among other options.

CarShield has a strong advertising presence on TV and seeing the commercials made me consider their services, especially since owning a car can be an investment and repair costs can get significant.
My overall experience with CarShield has been mostly positive. The customer service representatives were friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the various features of their plans. However, I did feel they could have provided more detailed information upfront about specifics like the 5,000-mile waiting period before the warranty kicks in. This information was not thoroughly explained during my initial interactions, although it was detailed in the documentation that I received later through the mail.
The payment options appeared straightforward as well, and I opted for the monthly plan, which fits my budget perfectly. The setup and initial interactions with CarShield were pleasant enough that I felt comfortable with my choice.
Using CarShield was made more reassuring knowing that they detailed what parts and services are covered on paper, evidenced by the documents I received.

During the purchase process, they informed me I needed to wait 90 days to file a claim, which was helpful. However, I never received my contract and handbook despite requesting hard copies to be sent to my PO box, which I have used for over 40 years to avoid losing important mail like credit cards. This was particularly frustrating since I prioritize having documentation.

I chose CarShield for my Mercedes S550, primarily because I wanted coverage for unexpected repairs. However, I've encountered some issues that are concerning. The representative mentioned that my coverage includes the engine, transmission, and water pump, but I was under the impression that other components like sensors, electronics, or the control arm would be covered as well, especially given the $200 monthly premium.
The sign-up process was straightforward, though I was surprised at the limited coverage for such a cost. The representative discussed a more comprehensive "platinum" plan, which would have increased my monthly payment to almost $300. This brings my total car-related expenses to a significant amount, resembling a car note, even though my vehicle is paid off.
Additionally, I was told the plan would begin either after 60 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first, and I have already reached 500 miles. I'm concerned about the value I’m receiving and plan to contact CarShield directly for clarity on my coverage details. Ultimately, I hope to better understand my plan to decide if it's worth maintaining this level of coverage.

My journey with CarShield began just a couple of months ago. When I first got the policy, I needed some vehicle repairs like a manifold replacement and brake work. Unfortunately, none of these were covered due to the initial waiting period of the first three months and the fact that there was a $1,000 deductible. I ended up paying $1,625 out of pocket, which was disappointing because I was not fully aware of these conditions.
After reaching out to CarShield to figure out what went wrong, I learned more about my policy’s terms, including the deductible and exclusions. Since then, the experience has been relatively fine, but the initial unmet expectations impacted my view. Based on the overall experience, I’d rate my satisfaction around a three out of five.

CarShield's name is instantly recognizable and they have been there for a while. They are the one that always stood out that I could remember. The main reason I decided to purchase an auto warranty is that my truck, despite having low mileage and being in great shape, is getting older just like I am, and I am no longer able to work on it. Since I had not driven it regularly for quite some time, I figured it would be wise to have some coverage in case anything unexpected happened, particularly since it’s not covered under any other warranty anymore. The cost and the package features of the CarShield plan were appealing; with the discounts I received, it became affordable for me, especially considering my retirement and decreased income. It brings me peace of mind knowing that if something costly like a transmission repair is needed, I'd be covered.
I did have to contact them about receiving the contract after realizing there was an error. My initial contract got sent out with the wrong details. However, after getting in touch with them, they promptly sent me a new one and also emailed me a copy while a paper one is being mailed.
