I called to cancel my policy with the 30 day cancellation for a refund. The following month they withdrew the money again. I once again called and was told I never called to cancel the monthly policy and was not given a refund. The next month they withdrew it again. So I called and they said I hadn't called the previous two times. They wouldn't offer me a refund once again. I'm a disabled veteran in a month to month budget. I cant believe this company does that to people. Stay away.

I have a 2007 Mini Cooper Automatic and decided to put CarShield platinum @ $120/Month. One year after my car started to slip within 3rd gear then it comes up in safety mode. I take it to my mechanic and he show me the clutch worn out and he told CarShield the problem, and they told me I take the car to a transmission shop and not my mechanic, SOUND-FISHY!!! I took it to a transmission shop. The shop tells CarShield the same problem. CarShield send out some ** shoe maker to look at it and report back some ** code the transmission reported. CarShield said the code do not cover under their warranty. When I contacted several mini dealership about the code CarShield claim to have receive from the Mini "{DO NOT EXIST}" in any Mini coding system. Again people beware, CarShield will sell you snake-oil for engine oil.

I called to inquire about getting a warranty after my extended warranty is up. Consumer Affairs recommended them. Thought they would be good. WRONG!!!! After speaking to a rep, you pay $25 a month. If you need repairs, they only negotiate and get you 10-30 percent off your bill. If I have a major repair, that is nothing! I can negotiate myself. What a waster of my time!!! Thought Consumer Affairs promoted better companies than this..

Since starting CarShield policy, I have had to pay thousands of dollars for several major auto repairs, most of which was NOT covered by you. Now car has been totaled in an accident, and I am left with no car - and this policy that I still owe payments on.

I purchased a CarShield PowerTrain Gold warranty for my son's Jeep Commander in April. In July, the Commander had a front drive axle fail. This is specifically stated in the coverage. However CarShield denied coverage because they say a gasket was the root cause which caused the parts to fail. Conveniently there is a statement in the "not covered" section stating gaskets are not covered. Even though the gasket itself looks fine and the mechanic took pictures to confirm, CarShield pointed to the gasket and denied a powertrain failure which is exactly what we have covered with their warranty. I feel this is a sham and I was duped. Buyer beware.

CarShield mislead me to get me to become a customer. I disclosed everything about my vehicle. It's an 02 Cadillac, which I explained that it may have slipped in the past and that my odometer is digital and goes out from time to time. When my truck wouldn't back up and placed claim to get transmission replaced, they refused because they couldn't get an odometer reading, which I disclosed to the initial rep at the time of starting policy. In which at the time, the rep told me that the odometer not working properly won't be an issue if claim is made, which was a lie.
Now CarShield refuses to refund me my money. I would have never made payments every month if I was told from the beginning that my odometer not working properly would be an issues. Real scam artists. And the warranty company you actually have to deal with, is an outsourced third party company that has nothing to do with CarShield. All CarShield wants is your money. This company is a fraud and should be shut down asap. Worst company and worst experience ever. I knew it was too good to be true.

Purchased a Powertrain Plus (Gold) Plan with Carshield that is backed by American Auto-Shield. AC Compressor failed, covered part under AIR CONDITIONING coverage but it excludes the belt - no problem. Offered to provide an aftermarket compressor in an unknown period of time, their cost $299 on the compressor. Then they offered to pay < $90 for 3.1 hours of service. The cost of the OEM part, which is what is in the car now is $799 by itself and at current shop rate your looking at over $300 in labor alone so clearly over $1,100 + tax for work - they offered < $390 "total". Don't be fooled by this company, they are crooks, dishonest and pull this kind of crap when you attempt to use the warranty … I've already paid almost double that amount in premiums already for warranty! Stay Clear of CarShield - they are NOT doing you any favors!

Transmission is going out in my vehicle, that was starting to shift hard in all three gears. I took it to AAMCO dealer and after pulling the pan off the bottom of the transmission, seeing transmission fluid and paper that was peeling off of the pressure plates, the transmission was in a state of wearing out parts. They replaced the transmission fluid, a filter and a solenoid and buttoned it back up and started to fill up the transmission with fluid until the vehicle stopped. They tried to get it to start and could not and it took a long time to figure it out. In the meantime, they worked on my vehicle until I came back from the east coast and they got it started but it was worst than I brought it in the first time to get it fixed.
It ran but needed help which they could not produce because they did not have the equipment to time and tune a vehicle with a distributor and points. I then drove the vehicle over to Firestone and they too, did not have the equipment to fix the problem either. So, I got out my CarShield and conveyed my message to them and with great results they solved my problem immediately and it is now in the hands of the Chevrolet dealer and they are conferring with CarShield as we speak.

Their customer service plain stinks. They sell me a policy, and never want to deal with you. They sold it to me, not their subcontractor. They are ultimately responsible for my satisfaction. They failed to disclose certain things to me, they failed to tell me I had 30 days to review it. They failed to produce a paper copy of it for me, ever.

CarShield contracts you to a car warranty company, good or bad and that's the extent of their involvement. If you have a problem getting service with the warranty, "and you will", they do absolutely nothing to help. In my case, the warranty company was United Car Care Inc. They supported their decision to deny my coverage and cancel my contract of one year, stating I gave them incorrect mileage when registered so therefore I was never covered. Yet I paid monthly for a year and a service I was never covered for. I requested a full refund. CarShield did nothing to try and resolve this denial. In fact they seem eager to dissolve my contract and hand me a prorated refund. I contacted the CEO of United and was granted a full refund of all the money they received from me. CarShield claims to be there for you, when your car needs repair is fraudulent. Join them at your own risk.

CarShield cancelled me because we had a conflict in the contract. When I signed up for it, it was fine. Then the car had a problem so I took it back to Chevrolet to get it fixed. CarShield paid for the first time they got it fixed, but there was a problem. When I took it back to Chevrolet, they discovered that there was another problem so they sent the guy out to look at the car. But they didn’t approve the work because I do Uber with this car.
I tried to talk to them about it and I explained to them that their contract needs to specify Uber drivers. They’re doing it in yesterday’s world. In today’s world, we have Uber, Lyft, and different things going on that people use their cars for. When they had asked me the question was I gonna use it for commercial, I paused because I didn’t know if they considered Uber commercial. It’s my personal car, and I’m choosing to do what I do with the car. That doesn’t really fall under commercial and that’s how I explained it to their guy.
The contract should specifically state out Uber, Lyft, or any kind of food delivery services. Then when a person will say, “Yes, I do Uber,” then it could be for a different price. They kinda messed me up because if I knew that was the case, I could’ve gone with another company, and I still will be with that company. Now, I got more miles on the car so it’s gonna cost me more for the extended warranty on the car. But I don’t think there’s a problem with CarShield itself. The guy did come out and I didn’t see anything wrong with the company at all. I just think that the wording in their contract needs to be improved.

I had a nicer vehicle that didn't have a warranty and if something happened, it wasn't gonna be a cheap fix. The warranty is more of a little extra protection and for peace of mind. Setting everything up was an easy process. It was all cut and dry and the rep was great to deal with. The experience was great and everything was as advertised. You pay your monthly payment and if you have an issue, just take the vehicle to a certified mechanic. Then they come out to verify if what the mechanic is saying is true. I'd definitely recommend CarShield.
I had an issue in the top end and the bottom end of the motor which made it incapable of being rebuilt. It had to be replaced. Getting the claim filed was easy.

I opened a document with "Personal and Confidential", and "Important" marked above the address window on the envelope. There nothing else on the envelope to identify what this was or who it was from. So I opened it... Inside was a marketing letter addressed to me with solicitation of coverage for a car I'd just bought. WHERE IS THE HONOR IN THIS? Is the product not strong enough that they have to revert to these practices to trick people into opening mail? It worked on me only to get me to open it so I am the fool, but not foolish enough to buy so I ask them how effective this letter was, really. If the goal was to trick me into opening this "important, personal and confidential" letter then it worked.
I don't know about you but there is too much "personal and confidential" information available out there on us all. I take great offense to being tricked into opening a letter from a company who stoops to deceptive marketing tactics to get their mail read. When I called the number and asked for the man whose name was signed on the letter, of course, he was not available. Trickery.

The auto warranty that I previously had only went to 70,000 miles and Carshield went to 125,000 so that was the main thing why I went with Carshield. I got the same coverage but with more mileage for less price. However, it's not pretty good with Carshield. I called in and asked them if they covered a certain part on the emission. They told me that they didn't and I had to fix my own car. This very same thing happened with the first Cadillac I had and it was totally covered. This is almost like everything is the same, but CarShield wouldn't cover it.
For the difference that I'm paying, I just wanna go back to my Cadillac-provided warranty which I never had any problems with. It's not a big deal, but it took me about two, three hours to get to Carshield and I was hearing all that business. I explained to the guy that sold the policy to me that I was 75 and I didn't need to do any of that stuff anymore, and I wanted everything covered. Other than the exception of the tires or rims, I was under the impression that everything else was covered.

They made all kinds of excuses not to pay. I believe they are complete scammers and frauds. I would never recommend this Co. To anyone. In the past I have been with 2 other Co's and they were the same. One was on my motor home at $5000. And the same thing was the case.

I researched the warranty companies before I decided on who to go with. CarShield had a lifetime warranty like a lot of them and had a good rating with Consumer Reports. Even people who had other plans said that CarShield was great. I got many calls saying, “We could do better in price and we could do better in this and that,” and I would tell them that I already have a warranty. I'm gonna try to renew it again, but depending on the price because CarShield is a little higher than some of the other people that I've researched.
I do a lot by ConsumerAffairs on what they’re rating, which was how I made my choice to go with CarShield. They're not the only people I use, but they are the most popular that most people will send reviews to compared to other places that do the same thing. They seem to have the majority of the people. So, if one company only has 600 and ConsumerAffairs has 3,000 and with the 3,000 if CarShield got an 80 and the other people have 500 and they only get 90, I can't go with that because the ratio is not as good.
When purchasing my warranty for a Q5 2011, the first rep that I had was incredible. She was amazing and very personable, the whole nine yards. She just bought a car herself and got CarShield for it. When I went to transfer the warranty over to another Q5, 2012 because some drunk driver totaled my car out, I dealt with two men and I wasn’t happy. When I bought this car, it was practically new and it hadn't been even out of the 50,000-mile for Audi itself. It only had 35,000. I originally had 100,000 and I already paid nine months into CarShield. The service was great and I had no problems when I took my car to be serviced.
The car was fixed, somebody was sent out and they looked at whatever needed to be done. That part was all smooth but the part that wasn’t smooth was that they’re gonna increase me six or eight more payments and the warranty will only be 75,000 miles versus 100,000. So, I asked the guy why I would only get 75,000 miles and why I had to pay an additional six or eight months. He told me that they had to pay $300 for something that I had fixed on the Q11, and they had another service for whatever. This car had two big issues and I'm sure the bill was well over $3,000 but all those things was factored into what I was gonna pay. And so, if I use my policy that I paid CarShield for, it's gonna cost me money if I wanna renew it or get a new one. So, that really didn't go over very well with me. I’m still about 20,000 miles away from 75,000 miles but I don't know if I'm gonna go that way again.

I received mail from CarShield about extending my warranty. I called CarShield for a quote. They wanted $129 per month for my 2007 Honda. I thought it was too much. Did the math, it is $1548 per year. If I save my money instead I can easily pay for my own repairs. Then, I did A LOT of research. CarShield would NOT answer my questions about who they have done business with (which dealers?), because when you need repairs it’s no longer CarShield, then it’s American Auto Shield.
I kept researching and learned that CarShield is banned in California, they are REVILED on BBB and they do everything they can to NOT PAY for a repair. They pick the most minor reason to not pay. Read the reviews on BBB. Some reviews on ConsumerAffairs are obviously fake. I think most of the five star reviews for CarShield are FAKE. This company is a scam! Do yourself a BIG favor don’t walk... run away from this company. A pure scam all the way. Don’t trust the reviews on this site!

The primary reason for cancellation of coverage was to trade covered vehicle in on purchase of new vehicle. The process of cancellation was painless and very friendly. Although I had CarShield coverage for only three months, I still felt it was better to have it than not. Perhaps it might have also prompted me to weigh in on the decision to purchase a new vehicle instead. For me, getting rid of a faithful ride was a little more difficult than supposed.

CarShield is a scam and a bunch of unethical liars. Several employees told me I had coverage on my vehicle repair and that I was past my 20 day waiting period and was ok to move forward. In good faith, I made financial decisions due to the information their representatives gave me. Later, they denied my repair claim after the work started and after several days of vehicle rental charges had built up. That time cannot be rescinded nor can the work and expense be undone. CarShield took my money in exchange for coverage on a 5 year old used vehicle. When it came time for them to come through with the repairs they made excuses. They said the claim was denied because the bad part they previously said was covered, was a "preexisting condition". Even though, I started witnessing the problem when I made the claim.
Let me break this down for you. When you decide to cover a 'used' vehicle everything is "preexisting". That's the difference between "used" and "new". Why would I need coverage for a car that can never malfunction? This is the point of your existence. ZERO coverage and Zero claim payments were paid out leaving me with a very large bill. I will never recommend your company to anyone. CarShield is bait and switch/fraud/malpractice/unethical people. I only wish I had read all the reviews on BBB. This website is paid by CarShield and they hide all of the negative reviews. I had to search for the non-fake reviews and boy are there a lot of people who got screwed by CarShield. I just hope they don't censor this review. Run away from this company. All these people are telling you. Believe them.

I bought a warranty through CarShield because of how their commercial alleged that company to be. My plan has been fully paid in. My car experience some AC trouble so I took it to the Nissan dealership and informed them that I had CarShield. Once they called their claims dept a employee by the name of Tom told Nissan that the air compressor wouldn't be covered because the warranty doesn't cover leaks. When I got on the phone with the claims dept and spoke to a man by the name Mario he informed me that the air compressor would only be covered if there was not a leak that would've cause the air compressor to malfunction. He stated the only way the air compressor would be cover would be if the air compressor stop functioning on its own and that there were no issues causing this.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But if something breaks down in a car it's always because of an issue!!! Nissan stated they have never heard that a warranty wouldn't cover my air compressor and that they have dealt with many other warranties. So now I'm stuck with a warranty that's useless and $1200 less in my pocket for an air compressor. I would never give my money away to CarShield and neither should you. I paid $3500 for a service that was never provided and customer service is rude and arrogant because they don't meet with people up front so they feel they can speak to you however they want. But your warranty through your car dealership instead. It's the same price.

I did a little bit of research and CarShield has gotten two notches above everybody with the review and comments from other customers. Filing a claim wasn't super easy because I have to call CarShield and I also have to coordinate with the service manager from Acura, but it was not hard either. I spoke to a CarShield representative three to four times, and I had a good experience in terms of coordinating with potential repair. She coordinated straight to the service representative and everything went well. The conversation was very short and very concise. She was pretty much knowledgeable with what was going on. She knew what she was saying and doing. She pretty much asked questions that were necessary to make this claim the quickest.
There was a little delay because of the parts. But other than that, it went well. It took less than a couple of weeks, and I got my car fixed. It made my car more safe and reliable and you can't beat that rather than buying a brand-new car. I am very much satisfied with CarShield.
