Very helpful. They explained everything. I just got it and haven't used it, but it seems fine. It won't cover for a few days, so I will have to sell. I don't really know what else I can say as I haven't had a chance to make any claims, so this is all I can say.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for the review and welcome to CarShield! Yes, your coverage will start once you surpass 133,953 miles on your odometer AND after the date of 11/14/20. Once both of those requirements are met, your coverage is active and we can help out on any covered repairs. If you have any questions about which parts are covered under your plan, feel free to give us a call.

Last Friday I called to have my car towed the dealership in Brewster, NY. He came to my apartment complex. That was great. He gave me a jump start. I really thought that there was something more serious wrong with my car. I don't feel that I should have to pay a $ 50 fee, when the car wasn't towed anywhere and he just gave me a jump start. I have coverage with you.
Hi Moe,
Thanks for the review. In order to get paid for the fee, you would have to submit a claim. Please give us a all and perhaps we can help you out with that!

I was sold a policy for my truck that I use to pull a horse trailer. When canceling I was told that it would not have been covered due to this activity. I specifically explained the use of this truck when purchasing the policy.

Could you tell if I am correct? The declaration page says my coverage would begin (on my 2005 Mustang) once I have driven 200 miles and I have waited 90 days is that correct? I was once told I had to drive 1000 miles and wait 30 days for coverage to begin. I am retired so I do not drive every day. I purchased the car 2018 and had 22,000 + it now has 23,600 + miles. Do you see my problem at your rules? I will pay for insurance with you and not have coverage for two plus years. The amount of time to get 1000 miles at the rate I currently drive. Sounds like a BBB investigation. D
Hi Lloyd,
It appears there is some confusion about when the coverage starts on your Mustang. Allow me to clarify. There are two options for your grace period. It's either 30 days AND 1000 miles OR 90 days and 200 miles. Whichever comes first. So you do not need to wait 2 years. At most its 90 days and 200 miles. We are happy to explain this further if needed. Feel free to give us a call. Lastly, your payment recently declined and it is not active at this time. Please contact us to fix that asap!

Transmission pump went out on vehicle I was in a contract with the Car Shield. Car shield did not pay for the repairs. They said that it was pre-existing which is fake news because you cannot drive around with the transmission pump out. I will not recommend car shield to no one. They do not repair your vehicles.
Hi Rhonda,
We are sorry to hear we could not help out on this repair. The claims adjuster is a 3rd party, non-biased company. After inspection, they determined that the failure was accelerated by the long term fluid leak from the transmission cooler lines. Since you were recently out of your grace period, the issue had to have been going on during your grace period putting this as pre-existing. You're welcome to contact American Auto Shield who handles your claims for any further explanations they may have.

I submitted a claim on Wednesday 10/21. Nobody contacted the shop at all.

She also told me for the first time that my claim may not be approved until weeks from now.
Hi Christian,
Once you submitted the claim on 10/21, I am showing we began reviewing the documents submitted and scheduled an adjuster. The adjuster is a 3rd party, non-biased adjuster based near your location. Timing of this is subject to their availability as we cannot have adjusters near every repair facility nationwide. That person does not work for CarShield, nor the administrator, American Auto Shield. The adjuster will review the claim and contact the repair facility for any next steps. We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting you back on the road soon.

Everything that CarShield had promised with the contract was all lies and misleading. If I had known this before I signed up I wouldn't have everything that was said was a lie. Very disappointed and having to deal with another company is really upsetting. Also no one can give you a clear answer. I wish someone with real authority would contact me.
Hi Peter,
I am showing we are paying $1804 toward your repair. Looking into your account some more, I see the repair facility is overcharging for the parts needed to fix this and are unwilling to negotiate their prices. This doesn't happen too often but our hands our tied if they will not budge on their prices. We use a nationally recognized labor guide but it is up to each repair shop whether they choose to follow that or not. As you are aware, American Auto Shield handles the claims on your account and have tried everything they can to lower your out of pocket expenses. If you have any questions about this or anything else, feel free to contact us.

I have a Car Shield extended warranty, I had a engine issue. Had it taken in and diagnosed. First was told no issue. They need a estimate. Got that done then they asked for maintenance records for 1 year. I provided 3+ years. They told repair facility was denied due to lack of maintenance record, then told me was denied due to repair facility saying sludge could have been cause, so called repair facility who said they never said such so made 3 way call with repair facility and car shield which they again just kept changing excuses. Last statement was denied due to tarnish on the oil pan (which car shield calls sludge). They try to claim tarnish starved a main bearing which is impossible. The repair facility repeatedly told them but according to the insurer if there is tarnish or rust inside a engine they don't have to cover which means any internal combustion engine would not be covered.
My 800 mile new truck had tarnish on the pan walls already and the dealership said that's automatically going to form from oil being present but that it has absolutely no effect on the oil system. So if you have a warranty they are scamming you on engine internals. My vehicle doesn't have 100,000 miles and gets less than 5000 miles a year due to it being a winter only vehicle yet gets oil changes many times a year with usually less than 2000 miles on oil.
Hi Mark,
We, here at CarShield, do not make decisions on claims. American Auto Shield is your administrator and they handle all claims inquiries. We are sorry we could not help out on this repair, but as stated in your contact, sludge build up is excluded from coverage.

My review was not about not receiving a rental car. It is about the run around I received when I started my claim. There was no delay from waiting for my service records. I had just purchased my car 3 months before. This was my first time being serviced. I sent in my car title as requested and I believe they could have looked up my claim # from my name on my car title. It took 6 days to finished service that called for a 2.5 hour repair because the adjuster didn't want to use the part from the dealership until it was 30 mins before closing after the 53rd hour of being there. It actually cost Car Shield 1729.93 for the warranty covered part not 3,054 they claimed in the earlier response. After asking for "my first and last born finger prints" (exaggeration). Car shield paid there part after I paid my deductible first at the end of the business day again... There has to be an easier company to deal with other than Car Shield... I still say "Buyer Beware!!!"

Hi Steven,
Sorry to hear about the issue with the claim. If the issue with the vehicle is the same now as back in July when you were in your grace period, then this is pre-existing and not coverable under your policy.

Car Shield needs to be more clear when they sell you bumper to bumper warranty about the run around you get when you try to submit a claim for a clearly covered repair. My car is in the mechanic shop for a 2 hour repair which means it doesn't qualify for a rental car while you wait. But the adjuster waited past 53 hours to qualify the repair. I am still without a car 4 days later because the part could not be ordered until approved by the adjuster. I am extremely dissatisfied with the product/service from Car Shield and the untimely care that I am experiencing from the Claims Adjuster. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience... D
Hi Darrin,
I am showing we paid $3054 on your repair which, in total, took 5 business days. We are sorry if there was confusion about the rental car. It is outlined in your contract that the repair of the vehicle needs to take over 4 hours. The biggest delay experienced was on waiting for documents to be sent in to the claims department. It appears info got sent in but had no identifiable information on it (i.e claim number) so they had no way of knowing that those documents were yours.

I wanted to get my car fixed, but Carshield denied coverage because the coverage I had did not cover my repair. I feel this is unfair for I was given only the gold membership when I applied for the coverage due to my mileage. So, I asked if I can upgrade. They upgraded me, but I had to wait another 20 days and another 500 miles. Then they stated because they are aware of the damage they cannot fix my car because it is pre-existing. I drive a Mercedes Benz cl550. I asked if there was any way you can help me get my car fixed, or if they can pay a portion of the repair. Carshield stated they couldn't under the new upgrade. So, I have a repair that is needed, and I still have to pay the upgrade price until my mileage goes another 500 miles. I feel so let down. For them to be the Number one extended warranty company in the nation they let me down on this one. I really wish they would reconsider.

When my transmission needed repairs my claim was denied for a reason my master mechanic did not understand. Was totally misled by this firm. I asked for a response in writing. I has purchased the platinum protection. I could not be more disappointed in a product.
Hi Sean,
As of 10/7 I am showing your claim is still pending. It appears we have reached out to you and asked for some records. Also, the repair facility will need your authorization to disassemble the transmission to determine the cause of failure. If this claim is approved, we would pay for this expense. Please contact American Auto Shield if you have any questions about your claim.

I went to my dealership today to have a repair down on the sunroof of my car. I told them I had CarShield to help pay the bill and was informed that they don't honor carshield anymore. When I asked why, they said that for the last 6 months or so they were having trouble getting paid by them so the GM of the dealership said they would no longer accept them. They are a big name dealership here in NC. What good does this warranty do me if the place I take my car to for servicing doesn't accept them?

Hi Marilyn,
We are sorry to see we could not help out on this repair. Your contract states that you must keep up with proper maintenance such as oil changes. It was determined that they had to put in 3 quarts of oil to the engine because it had been running low for some time. If you have any questions about this please let us know.

The worst decision I ever made was to buy policies with this company; best decision I ever made was to cancel them. Wish I had done it a year ago -- or better still, that I had NEVER bought them to begin with! This company cost me thousands of dollars in premiums, and when I finally needed them, they only paid me a small fraction of my repair bill. I paid 6 months' worth of premiums upfront in a lump sum for two cars, and thereafter they deducted almost $200/month in premiums from my checking account -- but every time I called them for a question or a concern, they told me my policies were "backed out" and I had to go through a rigmarole to prove to them that my policies were still in force. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME!
When I finally asked them to cover a repair bill for me, they not only told me again that my policies were "backed out", they told it TWICE to my mechanic when he called to discuss the bill with them. At one point a CSR promised to have a supervisor call me that afternoon, but I never received a call from a supervisor. I called the CSR back the next day to find out why, and she told me there were notes in my file from the supervisor all about the call she had just had with me -- which never took place! And they don't pay you the amount of your bill, they pay you what they THINK you should have been charged by your garage, based on what they claim are national averages. Well, I live in Appalachia, where everything is CHEAP, and they claimed that my bill was almost $100 more than I should have been charged -- so for a $339 bill they only covered $156 of it, after all the premiums I paid them!
I wasted THOUSANDS of dollars in premiums on this scam, and I lost it all. Some of the CSR's were nice and tried to help, but the supervisors were either non-responsive or rude. One supervisor essentially tried to bribe me into not writing bad reviews about CarShield by offering to refund some of my premiums! DO NOT BUY POLICIES FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS!
Hi Ellen,
We are sorry you feel this way. The invoice that was sent over to the claims department was for $156 so that is what we paid.
