I took my car to Ford to have them check my ABS system out. The car was not working right and I don’t like driving that way. Ford called you and got OK to fix the problem and them you called to let me know that it would be fixed. The person who called was very friendly. I would recommend this to other people. Thank you very much.

They try to help in every way but when it comes to "RUST" unfortunately it is not covered. OUCH! I would like to see coverage for this in future. My vehicle is a 2005 with only 81,000 miles and is in great shape but in New Jersey you will get rust.
Hi John,
Thanks for your review and feedback. Unfortunately, rust damage is not something we cover. I will pass this along and see if there is anything we can do about it.

My car was in the shop and needed a new alternator and fusible link. I had to call CarShield to find out when the repair would be authorized as the repair shop had the parts on hand and I needed my car back asap. I had to have the repair shop call to push things along. Then I was told the fusible link was not covered and that the alternator was only partly covered because the part on hand was the Kia part and only the OEM part was fully covered (but was not on hand). I went ahead with the Kia part so I could get my car back asap but it still took until the next day due to the delayed authorization. Instead of being fully covered I still had to pay $560 for the repair. Not pleased.
Hi Elaine,
It doesn't look like there was much of a delay in the claims process. The claim was started on 1/3 and we paid the repair facility on 1/6. It looks like you could've saved more if we went with the parts shipped in. I do understand needing your car back, however, but this was a fairly quick claims process.

I cancelled today because I am trading my car. Now I see that I was charged today at my bank. I think that seems just wrong to be charged on the day I cancel. Shouldn't that charge be reversed? I feel cheated.

That payment was likely already in process prior to you cancelling. Please give us a call at your convenience.

PLEASE READ THIS COMPLAINT, CARSHIELD **** PLEASE READ THIS COMPLAINT, OR YOU'LL BE SORRY YOU DIDN'T. If I could give ”zero” stars, this CarShield would get it. I purchased this extended warranty back on 07/2018 for a 2008 Ford F250 6.4 Diesel 4x4 in excellent condition. I negotiated the monthly payment down to $77.00 a month for the platinum w/ Luxury electronics & labor coverage. On 12/10/2019, I made a claims that my truck wouldn't start. I had the truck told to the Ford dealer near by. The first diagnosis was air entering the fuel line and the service manager called after contacting CarShields warranty administrator American AutoShield and they informed him that this wasn't covered.
The service technician was thinking at that time a seal or ”O” ring at the fuel pump was the problem. But the trucks ”Cab”/from the trucks bed forward would need to be raised 6 ft. to expose the back of the engine/turbo and fuel pump. The estimated charges for this was $2500-$3000. Well I knew this work wasn't covered, so I had to sign for the work and the trucks was raised and the problem was the ”high” fuel pump fell and sent metal shavings through the engines fuel system. Now ”Fuel Pumps” are covered under my warranty, but now this work is $8050. Now, CarShield's administrator American AutoShield sent and investigator to the Ford dealership to inspect the truck and repairs needed.
Service manger informed me the investigator had with him a ”3” page document and needed photos. I live I Michigan and we get our share of snow and my home has a long driveway. So I purchased a used snow plow for this purpose. In my warranty snow plows are a ”exclusion” to this warranty, no matter to problem with the vehicle. My snow plow wasn't attached just the mounting brackets on the trucks frame was exposed. American AutoShield canceled my warranty and CarShield had the audacity to return this months $77 payment. And CarShield clean their hands with my warranty and kept my monthly payments all but one payment.
Don't believe their TV commercials about it's a finger snap to get their benefits and have a piece of mind your vehicle will be repaired. If I would have got a rental car, I would have been paying for that also. READ THIS, ”Any aftermarket item installed on a covered vehicle will void the warranty!!! A INSTALLED ALARM SYSTEM, A RADIO THIS COMPANY WILL USE IT TO CANCEL YOUR WARRANTY TO STOP FROM COVERING A CLAIM. If you do purchase extended warranty from ”CARSHIELD” read your warranty, you have 30 days to cancel their warranty. I didn't and they cancelled my warranty and kept my money.
Michael,
Modifications of your vehicle void the contract. It is stated on your contract. We do apologize for any confusion about this.

CarShield paid what the contract stated to replace a water pump on my 2008 Jaguar Type S. I bought the car two months ago with 26500 miles. I also purchased CarShield prior to picking up the car. With 27600 miles the water pump started leaking and I took it to my Foreign Car Garage, gave them the information and they did the rest. Now anyone thinking the total bill, less a $100 deductible would be paid hasn’t read the contract. The contracts plainly states that the covered cost of any repairs will be done at the least expensive cost.
That means they will only pay for or credit you with the cheapest parts available, not the Original Manufacturer part. Well, my repair shop will not put on anything but the original manufacturer part, and I’m glad. A new Jaguar water pump cost $265.00 and the cheapest Remanufactured pump was $65.00. I had to pay the extra $200.00. It also needed a new $75.00 drive belt that was showing age they wouldn’t pay for because it is an age related item and considered a preexisting condition. They did pay the labor on everything which was $340.00 plus $65.00 for the pump for a total of $405.00 but the deductible made it around $305.00 they paid on a $750.00 bill.
I have had this coverage for two months at $130 a month and another monthly payment this week, I have paid them $390.00 and gotten back $405.00. The question now is it worth it. Having put over 1200 miles on the car I pretty well know the condition of everything and fairly certain the engine and drive train are in good condition that I’m considering dropping the coverage. I think that I will be better ahead to put that $130.00 into an account until it's needed for more expensive future repairs. Jim

Can never talk to the same adjuster. Spending days for someone to come and look at the vehicle to open the claim. I’ve now lost my job due to no vehicle to get to work. ;( I know it’s their job to fully review everything and find any way possible not to cover your vehicle. But when someone truly has a vehicle break down and has followed their warranty specifications there should be such a wait to have your vehicle repaired.

I signed up with this program that I hope I never needed. I contacted the third party administrators when I needed help for a repair and that's when bad service happened. They asked for all my repair receipts for the past thirteen years of ownership, they wanted me to pay for a breakdown of repair before they would decide if they wanted to fix it and pay for the fix.
The administration of CarShield's third party then ran a Carfax on my vehicle and insistent I send them repair receipts on a few repairs that I didn't send them already. I can't keep every receipt for 13 years I told them and they started to not be on my side. I told them that, "If you see something years ago in the Carfax then why are you holding the repair up to get me driving again." Carshield stated that they are not in control of the third party Administration people. Just pay for your repair yourself and save your monthly payments that you're wasting. Good luck! This is just what happened to me and I wanted everyone to know.
Hi Mason,
We're sorry to see this didn't work out. I see in the notes it was determined from the admin on your account that your claim was denied due to a pre-existing condition. They used previous service records and Carfax to determine this. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The only reason I gave CarShield 3 stars is because you finally paid for most of repair on this most recent claim. Otherwise, you would have gotten 1 Star, because that is the least you can rate. CarShield seems to find any nitpicking thing to refuse to pay a claim. We have paid our monthly premiums, every month, for several years in a timely matter. You cost us over $4000 that should should have been paid. I have been very upset with the company since and keep vowing to cancel. Thankfully, when we needed coverage again, it was paid. We have several friends that are unhappy with CarShield & several that were considering taking out extended policies. I am torn, as to advising to take or cancel.

Car Shield/American Auto Shield are running a legal scam/Ponzi Scheme (Car Shield sells a vehicle service contract, MEPCO handles the payment process, American Auto Shield handles approvals/denials of claims (mostly denials)).

Then when I demanded my money back (they refuse giving me a refund of all my money I paid toward the policy, since they denied my claim) and to cancel my policy (they tried to convince me to keep the policy, so they can keep stealing my money), they offered some kind of arrangement where they would work with the dealership to get me a discount on the work that I would have to pay for out of my pocket.

Sorry you feel this way. Looking over your notes, I see that the repair facility mentioned this is the same error code since 2-9-19.

My experience has been reported to the BBB and I will continue to warn current and prospective customers to be aware of the predatory practices and miscommunication executed by Carshield. The nightmare of gaining clarity on the status of my claim, the number of curveballs and attempts to get out of their responsibility of getting a claim paid and the number of calls and lengths of holds with this vendor will leave me scarred for life!
My mechanic shared their very similar nightmare of arguments, misinformation and shady paperwork maneuvers to get out from underneath my claim. The cherry on top of my holidays? Thanks to Carshield I totally lost my car to a Mechanic’s Lien as they refused to pay my repair claim of almost $7k even after my mechanic repeatedly informed Carshield claims adjusters that their claim denial reason was totally incorrect. Beware!
Hi Jonathan,
We do apologize you feel this way. We at CarShield have little to no control over the claims, shop process, or the administrators' decision. We are, however, always willing to explain the coverage details or help you with any of your Customer Service needs.

My very first claim, although a large one, was, denied, giving further evidence that this company, while masquerading as a "protection", against the high costs of used car repairs, is really just a scam operation; perfectly willing to collect your monthly premiums, and then, when faced with a large claim, they sent an inspector to examine the damage, and repairs needed; the inspector admitted the damage was NOT, caused by a lack of maintenance, but simple wear/tear, so their claims adjuster, picked thru every line, in the contract, until he found a loophole, he could use, to weasel out of making any payment, whatsoever!
As if that weren't bad enough, they also claim, there are NO refunds on the premiums, paid, despite the fact, that they rendered absolutely Zero value, for all the money they collected, from the monthly premiums. Any scam, ripoff artist can do this, and, apparently, that's ALL this company really is, a place that promises service, collects your money, and turns their backs on you. Where I grew up, we call that, "Fraud".

I want to commend Dominic for his excellent explanation of the CarShield warranty. My cars are older (Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Gran Marquis). They will need repairs, no doubt. So my questions were many. For example: the Lincoln is a 2000. But, as long as I keep my monthly payments timely, the warranty continues, beyond 20 years. I have no plans to ever sell this car - so you can see how important this factor will be. Dominic's answers were thorough, and as detailed as I required. He was an excellent listener. He knows his product well. And he's respectful. I've never, before now, been fond of extended warranties. But now, I have complete confidence that, finally, I found a company with a warranty that suited my needs, and my budget. Thank you, Dominic, and CarShield, for this peace-of-mind. It's priceless!

This company Car Shield is smoke and mirrors. They sell you a top tier, bumper to bumper repair but they DO TELL you they exclude an alarming amount of simple things that are associated with what they say they cover but do not cover in their policies at all. Example: My transmission is covered in the policy of things they cover but seals, o-rings and hoses associated with the transmission plus the cost of inspection were not cover to the tune of $644.00. My transmission had a leak of transmission fluid and nothing in my car system showed fluid was low or critical so they ruled that my transmission was not covered because it was not a system failure but mine because I did not check for a low fluid level. Who checks their own fluid levels for a transmission. Another example: The coolant system is covered but because the system needed to be flushed to repair they did not cover the flush of a cost of $347.00.
I have been paying for an extended warranty for almost 6 months because mine had expired and used them but it seems I paid them close to $79.00 each month for nothing because I still had to pay for my own repairs. Why do you need an extended warranty when they do not cover you for what they promised in the policy. The policy coverage was not sent to me and I find that what they say is covered in it is not explained to you when you purchase their car policy. They use every loophole they can use to not pay for a claim you file with this bogus company pretending to be a legitimate extended warranty insurance provider for your car.
Bottom line, BUYER BEWARE of Car Shield Insurance Company because they will do everything in their power to wiggle out of a legitimate claim you may have to decline coverage and pay for it as they promised in the initial quote you received. My expensive mistake should be YOUR WARNING not to work with this company that claims to be the alternative for expensive automobile repair. As it turned out they made it much more expensive to repair my car with their added monthly premium for a Car Shield's top tier policy that did not help in reducing or cover my cost to repair what they said they would in the bumper to bumper extended warranty policy.

This is a total fraud. No dealers in DC, MD, or VA accepts them. I’ve called 50. Literally. Then when I called Carshield they lied and said “no they do accept because it’s American Auto Shield". But that was a lie. They will take your money and sell you dreams. It's all about getting you to pay that fee every month. Nothing else will they actually help you with. Also when they tell you you can cancel anytime or pay anytime (the malarkey they tell you when your signing up).. Don’t believe it. They don’t even put notes of convos and calls in. Also they will try to give you protocol bs to try to keep your money until you get firm with them and the politeness is out the window. DO NOT BUY CAR SHIELD..AMERICAN AUTO SHIELD..ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH COMPANY!! THEY WILL ROB YOU!
And I was foolish enough to put contracts for two cars. Now I’m out of 3-500 bucks because nobody will accept them. PLEASE. I BEG YOU!! SAVE YOURSELF A HASSLE.. EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE!! And I have written statements from at least 20 shops..because I was gonna pursue litigation 'cause I felt lied to but I’ll chalk it up as a lesson learned.

I wanted a service contract for my vehicle It was to have the peace of mind if something was to go wrong with it. A bunch of great people helped me cleared up a lot of questions that I had about CarShield. I filed an engine repair claim with them. The process was a headache especially that they made me have the adjuster out three times, which just kept running up the bill with them.
Also, the process took a little over a month which included getting the claim approved and the warranty company getting back to the dealership. It was a long process. I had to call the extended warranty company, and they told me that they were waiting to hear back from me when that wasn't how it was supposed to be. I was supposed to hear directly from the dealership, and then the dealership was supposed to talk directly to the extended warranty company. So, there was some chain of command that was skewed. And there could definitely be some corrections in that department. Nevertheless, I love CarShield but I had to cancel my policy because my monthly bill was adding up over time. If I could’ve brought it down a little bit, that would have helped.

I got a used 2001 Kia, and I wanted to get some kind of extended warranty. But their extended warranty was very expensive. So I got the extended warranty through CarShield. The person that I spoke to who helped me get the policy was good. He was kind and patient. He gave me pretty good knowledge being that I was getting a used car. But when I had to get the engine fixed, the claims process was very long. It took about two months, and I'm still waiting on my refund check for the towing. I talked to someone and she said they were gonna try to go ahead and process it right away because that happened in July, and it's almost the end of the year. But that's the only problem I had. They gave me a rental vehicle from the dealership, so I could get back and forth to work.

The person that sold my CarShield warranty to me was professional, but they could have done a bit of a better job. They did not explain the fact that the warranty does not cover certain parts or pieces, like rubber and plastic pieces. When the motor went out on my vehicle, I utilized the warranty to get the motor replaced. However, after my warranty paid its part, I still owed about twelve and a half hundred dollars, which left a bad taste in my mouth. I bought the warranty so I didn’t’ have to come up with that kind of money all at once. Had the limited service been fully disclosed up front, I would have been completely satisfied with the service because I would have known what I was getting. But since it was not, I’m dissatisfied with CarShield.

I've paid over 3k dollars into this warranty and Every time there's a problem they deny the claim. I have transmission and engine warranty but they've set inspectors to look at the problems and say it's normal "wear and tear" or come up with ways around actually covering anything on my vehicle. The engine had issues but they said it was gaskets and other parts of the engine that erect covered, now the same thing with the transmission. I paid over 3k dollars for this warranty but they refuse to cover anything. The first time I had it on my other car I got lucky and only had a small issue but the second I had to purchase another warranty and they won't even cover a window regulator saying the mechanic messed it up and they can't cover the part now. Like I said a bunch of excuses on why they can't cover anything.
Customer service never has a clue what they're talking about. I was told by one representative that he's not a mechanic and can't explain why they wouldn't cover the transmission. Another representative went into how they've switched hands and now I'm basically screwed. Saying I could purchase a better warranty coverage and pay another 3k dollars. Basically they're trying to get more money after already getting two policies from me and several thousand dollars. Biggest scam ever! DO NOT TRUST TRUST COMPANY! They give you very little coverage for the price you pay but trick you into thinking your covered and have peace in mind.
I've had 3 different mechanics and dealerships tell me that they are full of it and they ripped me off. Claims dept is no better. They take days to get back to you then they also blame the inspectors and claim they don't understand their notes and they'll have someone contact me as to why it's denied. Still no resolution or call back. The entire company is worthless and you can't get a straight answer from anyone.

I was referred to CarShield by my mother. Their rep was pretty good and friendly. A lot of information he didn't know or he wasn't aware of, he had to look up or ask a supervisor. But other than that, he had done everything he did to the best of his abilities. I didn't even know what I was looking for. He helped me out. I told him I needed something that was gonna take over the powertrain warranty for the engine and the transmission. And he pretty much gave me the plan that I got now.
I'm not happy with CarShield though. I don't like the long delayed process that goes through with filing the claim. When my transmission was going out, I took it to the shop for them to do a diagnostics. The first part was they test drove it. It took a week. And the guy said, "Yeah. There's definitely some problem with the transmission." The next step was CarShield wanted him to open the transmission up. And they told me that I would have to cover the cost if they opened it up, and it wasn't an issue that they covered under the warranty. I thought that was bogus. That was something that was not explained to me at the beginning of the terms and the conditions. And that took a week.
After that, once they opened it up and took it apart, it took a week for the person to come back out there to find out what the issue was internally. And when they finally felt that was the issue, I was looking at four weeks and about $1,000 in car rental expenses for having a rental vehicle because they only covered four days. It cost me more money. I had to continue paying for my policy, and I had to continue my daily expenses on top of that rental vehicle. It cost me more money to get my car fixed. I would have then brought it off and paid for it to get my own car fixed. I'm dissatisfied. I went in for car transmission diagnostics and my experience took longer and more stressful as heck with them.

I had an older vehicle at home that needed a extended warranty, and CarShield was very affordable and very reasonable. The guy explaining the warranty to me was very clear on what was covered and how the protection worked. He was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of information. When I got the engine repaired, the process was just as everything that had happened especially in today’s society. I knew I was gonna encounter some BS. I was going on a cross country trip and I was hearing some sluggish, and I took it to the Lexus dealership. But I was not interested in what they quoted me. I told them it was drivable, and I just noticed some sluggishness in it. So I told them to put it back together and I would come and get it. They put it back together, and I went and got it.
When I got the vehicle and drove it, it felt like it was worse than what it was when I took it in there. So I brought it back and told them to contact the extended warranty people and that was what they did. Then they called me back to tell me that the warranty people said my vehicle was covered. I was shocked. The warranty people were not talking to me, but they were talking to the car dealership. So when I got in contact with the warranty people, that part became a hassle because I had to talk to different people, and not a special agent handling the case. Everybody had to go in to read what was said by somebody who documented something. But I found it to be more helpful talking to different people because different people are more knowledgeable in the engine build and in special stuff that’s going on with different vehicles.
When I initially called in, CarShield said my vehicle was covered. So they sent out a tech to go to Lexus to check it out. Once they made it there, they said that they needed to do further diagnostics on the vehicle that requires them to break down the engine. They said that once they break the engine down and determined that they don’t cover it, the break down would be on me and also the rest of the stuff. But if it was not covered, they wouldn’t have sent a tech out to Lexus to look at it. I told them I got a cracked windshield, and they said they don’t need to send a tech out to look at a cracked windshield. And that they already know a cracked windshield is not covered. So what's not covered is in black and white.
Every time I call somebody, I’m getting different people and I don’t have any problem, but I need someone to explain it to me as if I’m a two year old. So that was when the guy started breaking it down to me. And then he told me that he was reading the contract and they had a less experienced technician who told me my vehicle was not covered. He would have been right if the part that was faulty was not part of the engine. But the part that was faulty is built in the engine, so I was covered. It was great. I was not expecting it. The only thing was that I had to go through different channels to get the answer to what I needed. And for regular everyday people, that could be a hassle. But overall, I am very satisfied with the experience of having CarShield. It saved me so much money. It’s a great plan and organization.

I'm on a fixed income and it would break us if I had any major car problems. I already got the extended warranty on my other car so I also got another contract from CarShield for one car. I went with them mainly for the price and the representatives did a good job when I was purchasing. Then, I took my car to my Ford dealership here in town when there was an issue. They examined it, did the inspection, and then it took me 3 weeks to get the work done.
The problem was with my transmission and they said that because it was with what they call the wiring harness, then they wouldn't cover it. The problem is one has to dismantle the transmission to put that said harness in. And it was causing my overdrive light to come on and cause the transmission to shift erratically. That's one reason why I got the extended warranty! Yet they still wouldn't cover it and I had to cover that on my own. I was just mad and didn't wanna call and get into an argument with them. Also, a loaner vehicle is not covered under CarShield, which is wrong. When I am paying for extra coverage like that and if the car has to go in the shop for any length of time, then I should have a vehicle to drive. But that didn't happen. Still, I'm satisfied with the coverage.

Good customer service. Wait times to speak to customer service may be a little long. Other than that... customer service was great.
Hi Sammy,
We're happy to help! Sorry about the long wait times. We do get a high call volume at times but are working toward a solution!
