I was real pleased with the representative and the offer he gave me. I have been skeptical over the last few times that I have watch the commercial on TV but, I finally gave in and got the best service I could ask for. It was getting to them that it was getting where I didn't want to do any more mechanic work.

CarShield contacted me and they were very thorough and professional. For two months, I told them that I already have coverage. They gave me time to think about it and they called back when I had an answer. They gave me a plan that I liked and I decided to use them. Once, the screen on my car went out and it wasn't responding when I touched it. I called CarShield and their customer service was very thorough and polite. The claims process went very well. So far, my experience with CarShield has been excellent and I've been satisfied with them. If something goes wrong with my car, I'm covered. I'm relaxed.

I received a letter in the mail from CarShield about warranty on my transmission and power train so I decided to give them a call and when I tell you the guy I spoke with was EXTREMELY unprofessional, it was disappointing. I wish I remembered his name. He gave me all these “discounts” to get me to buy the warranty that day. When I told him I simply didn’t have the money that day, he said “put it on a credit card”. I told him I didn’t have a credit card and I had less than $100 to my name. He kept saying, "Well the price is $90. You really can’t do that today?"
Told him I would call back when I had money and he told me to post date it as to which I KINDLY declined. Keyword: KINDLY during this entire conversation. Finally at last after 20 minutes of trying to get my debit card information I politely said, “I’m very sorry, but I will have to call back when I have the money” and then HE HUNG UP. Extremely unprofessional and don’t think I’ll bother to call back. God forbid I get stuck in a loop of “put it on your credit card!” And “I gave you all these discounts, why can’t you buy it now?”

I didn’t feel the dealership’s extended warranty was enough, so I was doing some research on third-party extended warranties. I read some reviews and there was a lot of positive reviews on CarShield so I went with them. The rep who helped me get set up was very helpful. I had a negative experience with my first and only claim, though. I had transmission issues, so I initially called to see what my options were and what the process was. The initial person I spoke to didn't wanna be on the phone and was very standoffish. But after that situation, everything has been great so far. He led me to another person who then took care of the process.
The overall cost was good. When I was initially signing up, the premium was a little lower, but the monthly was higher. I got that switched over where the monthly was lower but the premium was a little higher than originally, but it still worked out. I would recommend CarShield. It's what everybody says. Everything has been good so far.

SCAM!!! I was scammed out of over 600 dollars! It all started out as a lie they sold. They sent a letter saying "your warranty is almost up", me thinking it's actually coming from the dealership. Their advertisement says it's 30,000 parts on car, Carsheild only cover 2! Engine and Trans, I had to find out the hard way. The guy that got me to buy the warranty said they cover small parts like brakes, which was a lie...
Later I got a warranty from the dealership (what I should've did in the first place), CARSHIELD cancel my warranty (like I wanted to) and said "because we had to cancel your warranty, we can't give you none of your money back, it's in the contract"... Mind you, I called them 3 or 4 times to get my car fix and it was always some excuse... When I tried to cancel the 3 time, they wouldn't let me, by talking me to death, and giving me a free month without pay. Over 600 down the drain! Go through your car dealership!!!

I had heard of this place on the radio so I made the mistake of subscribing. However, due to some unexpected expenses I had to cancel, with the intention of coming back early 2019. I paid the down payment and realized I just couldn't' make the monthly payment so I sent a cancellation in. Of course they managed to keep my down payment. I will never ever subscribe to this place again and I'm now telling all my friends and anyone else that will listen to me to never subscribe either. I will never understand why a huge company is willing to screw people out of a couple hundred dollars. DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE. THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO SCREW YOU TOO.

I wanted full coverage of everything and CarShield was able to meet this. However, it was just a little bit of a hassle. I learned a lot because I had an issue with the car and third-party providers were a little hard to deal with. The dealership wouldn’t release the car until CarShield pays. It was a lot of red tape just to get them to pay the dealer. It was ridiculous and it was terrible. Even the day I went down to the dealer when the car was done, we had to sit there until these people decided to pay them. Also, I was without a car for over a week or more, and I only got a rental car for three days. It was a very bad experience that we shouldn’t have had to go through. It should be simpler and it shouldn't be so much back and forth, especially with the amount of money that I paid for. I’m also still waiting for another check that I laid out money that they’re supposed to pay me.

My warranty expired because of the age of my car. And it's an Infiniti, so it's gonna keep driving for a long time. I always believe in having service contracts because they pay off 99% of the time, so I like to have protection. CarShield had a good reputation. Usually, when one car reaches the end of its warranty, I get a new one. So, this is my first experience with having an extended warranty. I had to have the car worked on and it covered some things, which was good, although it didn't cover as much as I wish it had.

I had a problem before with the radio. Filing the claim was hard as CarShield had the dealership record the radio filed. CarShield thought that something fell behind and called to go out, it was a mess about it. After three weeks, they decided they were gonna give me aftermarket. Then I argued with them and told them it wasn’t right, that the radio that was in there was a factory radio with a DVD player. They ended up giving me the same, a brand new one.
I just had experienced another deal with CarShield about the transmission. They sent the dealership a bad transmission and I had a rental car. The dealership told them what was wrong with it, and that took a little longer because CarShield had to send out another one. CarShield told me that I couldn’t have the rental car any longer than a certain amount of days and it wasn’t my fault. If they just kinda tighten up as well as the parts and stuff that they supply, it will be a whole lot better.

My vehicle had a bumper-to-bumper warranty when I bought it. It was going out and I wanted to keep it. The CarShield rep I dealt with was a professional. All of my claims went well, except for the last one. I had an issue with my car then I called CarShield and they told me what to do. I took it to the dealer. Justin came out and took a look at it and then he gave the okay to it and did the work. I was without a vehicle and they even gave me one. Gigi explained to me that some electrical stuff was not covered and I wasn’t happy about that. She said she would send me the whole copy of the warranty in the mail but I didn't remember getting one. They're gonna send me another copy in the mail. Once I see the whole breakdown of the bumper-to-bumper, then I can really understand it. In spite of that, CarShield took care of me.

We wanted to keep our cars until we run them to death so I figured putting a warranty on those would help out with maintenance for a couple more years. The CarShield rep answered all my questions professionally and made the deal sound like it was something that we should definitely take advantage of. I only had one claim put in and they fixed the problem. I just had one part that was denied at the time. I called to find out how the process works as I never did it before. The dealership would be the one to communicate with CarShield so I had to make sure that they had all the information and followed through.
I lost a day or two waiting for the approval as I had to have somebody come out and look at the car. I finally got approved and then the dealership got the part. I was without a car for five days. CarShield was quick about the service once I called them. Having them is a good thing and it would give the cars more years of security of some major items that could go wrong.

When I called CarShield, I negotiated the rate down to what I was already paying for my pre-existing warranty, so it only cost me around 3 grand. I also worked the downpayment and the monthly out to a good rate. They were very flexible and it worked out to my benefit. I have a GMC Terrain, so it's one of the newer vehicles that they've sort of made all-electric, and those components are very sensitive. If one thing happens, you have to replace everything, so it's really, really expensive. So, I'm glad I made the purchase with CarShield to extend the warranty out.
Everybody has been friendly and nice. When I needed to purchase the battery, I used my CarShield warranty to tow my vehicle. The gentleman I spoke with when I got my vehicle towed was very nice and very helpful. He even offered to stay on the phone with me if I didn't feel safe. I told him I was in a safe location and I was fine. The tow truck person that came out was very nice and knowledgeable as well. He took a really good, thorough time with assessing my vehicle to see if he could solve the problem before he hooked it up to tow it. He was even helpful with the dealership guy. It was all a wonderful experience. I would recommend CarShield.

My son is legally mentally disabled with Autism and Asperger's. He is able to drive and recently bought a used Blazer that is 17 yrs old. It's a junk vehicle only used for short trips since he doesn't go many places. He was so proud about getting his own vehicle that he thought CarSheild would be a good idea. They sold him a policy that he didn't need for almost $200 per month for a car that was only purchased for $1500.
They were charging him more than what a monthly car payment would be on a 17yr old junker all over the phone. And they did it knowingly to a young man who is mentally disabled, it's not hard to tell over the phone either. You can ask him his name and it will take him minutes to respond, ask if he's hungry and wait minutes for a yes or no or even an I don't know. So there was no way he could have answered all the info for the policy or have agreed to all the legalities. This is type of company they are. They only care about taking your money, not about covering your vehicle.

I spoke to another lady before and everything was good with CarShield except for I had to wait too long. First, they took 24 to 48 hours before somebody came out to agree with the dealer what was wrong with it. After they agreed with the dealer, it took another two to three days before the parts that my car needed were delivered. So it sat for four to five days before work even started. Before they would approve a rental, I had to pay for the first four days of rental myself because I had to wait for them to deliver. They should be liable for covering the rental fees for that amount of time, not just have a certain amount that they'll cover up. They also didn't inform me of how long it was gonna take for them before they could even start working on my car. I know I had to wait for them to deliver the part but they didn't give me a new part. They gave me a used part and that I wasn't too happy with. But it worked fine so I'm okay with it. Everything else was good.

The coverages sold to me over the phone are not the same as the contract. They listed mileage wrong in the contract and denied a claim for a part that in the phone conversation said would be a covered part. They refuse to correct the issue so I got a 3600.00 worthless lil book.

The lady from CarShield explained that my factory warranty would expire and I would need something. She told me that the longer I wait, the more expensive it would be so I decided to go. They sent me the forms for the packet and stuff then I started paying it. I paid it all off eventually. When I heard something on the undercarriage arm, I filed a claim for it to be replaced and I just finished doing it. I had it done in a Subaru and the quality of CarShield's service has been good so far.

To maintain my vehicle, I felt comfortable with CarShield as a warranty provider. If any emergencies occurred, I would be covered. I had a great interaction with the rep and he was able to convince me to get the coverage. Any questions I had at that moment were answered. I filed a few claims but whoever was taking care of my case would never communicate with me. A few years back, my alternator went bad. They saw a leak from the seal of the head of the motor. I literally had to pay for the alternator and $500 had to come out of my pocket. I didn’t know about it and so my mechanic called me. If I paid CarShield for the coverage, it would be common courtesy to tell me the reason why something went bad and what they would cover as well as those that will come out of my pocket. I should be getting that information from them directly. That happened three times. Other than that, everything is perfect.

I saw an ad that showed what CarShield had to offer. When I talked to them on the phone, they reassured me that that’s what it was, so I went with their deductible on my policy and everything has been working out great. Every time I've taken my truck to a service or when something happened to it, they've covered it, so I’m extremely happy with the service. It has been over a year now since I had CarShield and I wouldn’t turn anywhere else. I had several new cars and warranties, but they are definitely supportive when it comes to me having problems with my vehicle and they pay in a timely manner, too. The price of the warranty that they gave me is definitely efficient for me.
Filing a claim for service with them was great. The representatives at CarShield are very supportive and understandable. I was in Atlanta, Georgia and my truck totally shut down. I called them first and they said that the only thing I had to do was go to a dealership and give them CarShield's number, and they would communicate with them. I went to the dealership and I told them the CarShield number. The dealership contacted them and communicated with them. Then, the dealership communicated with me and told me that the claim was filed and that they were gonna bring out the inspector to inspect the problems. They came right out a day later and everything went great. It was my first time filing a claim and, being on the road with my family, it was a good experience for me.

CarShield was the first company that came across the TV screen and I thought I gotta do something. The rep who helped me purchase the warranty was excellent and he told me everything I needed to know. Plus, when I had to file a claim, the customer service rep did it himself. The experience with CarShield was good but they should have used a Nissan transmission on the car. When it went out, Nissan would not have anything to do with it. If they used a Nissan transmission and it went bad and it went out in less than 30 days, Nissan would’ve covered my transmission with no problem and CarShield wouldn’t have anything to do with it. My car has been in the shop twice. CarShield didn’t want to pay for the transmission again and gave me the runaround which I didn’t like.

We got everything done efficiently. He was also very knowledgeable and he answered all the questions I had for him to the best of his knowledge. It didn't seem like he was making anything up.
Other than that, when I made a payment over the phone, the customer service reps helped me set up the automatic pay so that I don’t have to keep calling them every month. And as far as filing a claim, I already did that twice and both were successful. I took my vehicle to the dealer and the dealer did all the work. They called the warranty place, got the approval, and the dealer called me back. All I had to do was send them a copy of the invoice. And when I filed a claim for an AC compressor, the service was awesome. All in all, I feel more secure knowing that if something catastrophic happens with the car or with its computer system, as long as I keep up with my payments and I’m doing things on my end, CarShield will cover everything, which is great.

Over a year ago I purchased CarShield. I am financing the warranty. I have paid $2403 so far. I just had my first breakdown out of town. Alternator went out. This happened on a Sunday. I tried to call and get an approval for a fix but couldn't get in touch with anyone since it was a weekend. The emergency fix only covered up to $250. Alternator and install was over $400. The real issues is on Monday when I was able to take it to a shop, the shop called CarShield and tried to make a claim. I was then notified my car has a salvage title and they wouldn't fix anything on the car. Issue is, this car is perfect and doesn't have a salvage title. They only talked to the mechanic who doesn't know. They canceled my plan and only refunded $195 after I have paid them thousands.
The mechanic actually asked this question. "So you knew it had a salvage title (which it doesn't) and you were going to let my customer keep paying you with absolutely no intent on paying out when a claim is made?" He was told, "Yep. What could we do." So, not only were they never going to pay a claim, but if they thought my car had a salvage title, then why would they ever agree to cover my car? Why didn't they check it before? It has a clean title but no one ever asked to see a copy of it or anything. Just took my money and canceled the plan when I tried to use it. I am feeling like a lawsuit is in order. Thank you so much CarShield for ripping me off.

I got a contract from CarShield for my 2011 Mustang that I bought in 2015. I got it through the dealer. It costed me $109 a month and I kept paying it religiously. All of a sudden they weren’t taking payment out anymore so I thought the contract had lapsed. I found out a couple of years later that the premium had been paid and my warranty is still in effect and that made me happy. I have a power seat in the Mustang and the motor had gone out. I took it into the dealer and said, “Well, I’ll call CarShield and see what they’ll do”. CarShield covered it completely except the deductible.
I bought a new F150 two years ago and I got a contract through CarShield too. There were two issues with the pickup. One had to do with the differential and the other had to do with one of the turbos on the engine. I took it in to a local Ford dealer and they said, “Okay, we’ll get a hold of CarShield and give them call.” CarShield covered the issue with the differential readily and paid very well. The problem with the turbo was I had a leaky line and they wouldn't cover it because they don’t cover hoses and lines. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t cover it. I didn’t get irate and I just have to save money and get it fixed myself. Nevertheless, I’m very happy with CarShield.

I had the service when I owned a 09 F150. Tried filling a few claims for the vehicle and getting things covered. It never worked out so I just let it fade into the wind because it was a lesson learned. So fast forward to today, over the past two years I've been getting more and more insistent calls from them and today I thought I'd give them a listen. First of all that should be considered harassment because I know I told them in the past I was not interested. So they did leave it alone for some time but today I get on the phone with this lady who proceeds to tell me the cost and everything and I say, "No thank you," for now, I need to do research because I had issues with them in the past. Then she starts going over all they cover and whatnot, which from the actual customer's reviews have used the service and because of my own issues I had with them in the past I can tell you they will try everything in their power not to cover something.
And this routine maintenance tactic can only go so far. Yes pads, oil, fluids, plugs, and certain other things are considered routine maintenance but when a seat a/c component or some other bit goes out they will not help you. Plus why would you even want to use them because 90% of your money will be on routine maintenance items and as long as you stay on top of them you will have only very little repair? Anyways I tell her it's more cost effective for me to just do it myself since they want to be picky about their coverage options. She keeps repeating "not with all the computers in there" so I told her to do some more research and hung up. Moral of the story save your money, don't give them the time of day or they will argue with you. You can probably buy whatever it is you need for much cheaper and an auto repair manual will save you a ton of money, plus if you make friends with a local repair shop you'll save even more.

My first experience with this company is bad based solely on customer service on my call simply for a quote. I feel I was spoken to condescendingly by a finance "manager" and when I called back to make my complaint known, I was told all managers were in a meeting and someone would call me back, which did not take place. My suggestion is listen to the consumers' questions and concerns instead of insulting them in trying to close a sale. You have just lost a potential customer in me!

The warranty that came with the vehicle was expiring and they wanted more money for it. I ended up buying the warranty for more coverage or a better rate. CarShield contacted me about it and I said okay. The guy that contacted me was nice and he was really good about it. When I filed the claim, I called the 800 number in my contract and they said it was covered 100%. All I had to do was take the vehicle to the dealership, then they would call that number and it will go from there. It was all it was. I was out of a car for a month and I told the owner of the dealership that I needed a vehicle rental for more than four hours. I told the guy I didn’t want a car and next thing I knew, he got me a nice one and he told me to stop by their shop. The dealership gave me a brand new truck to drive. I had an awesome experience with CarShield and I would tell my friends to go with them.

CarShield seemed legit and the price was reasonable. Although the warranty we had in the past had more coverage, we still got less coverage with CarShield because we have a lot of electronic components. We wanted coverage for big mechanical issues. My husband used to be a service rider, so he knew about the plan that we wanted to get on. The overall application process was detailed and I was very satisfied with the reps that helped us pick the plan.
One time, we didn't have a car AC, so we called CarShield. They gave me a dealer and I took it to them. The dealer had to call CarShield to get authorized and had to send someone there, a third party to verify the claim. Thereafter dealership got my car fixed. Though we were without a car for two weeks, the dealership gave us a loaner.
Meanwhile, we have another issue and I’m still going through the process with that because the part is on backorder. CarShield needs to consider because it’s not part of the coverage. They only cover for the amount of time the car they worked on and a part that’s on back order is not covered. Also, CarShield should give a number that people don’t have to phone tag with. They also have to be better with the follow-up and the coverage for backorder parts. Nevertheless, I have recommended them to people.

I drive a Mercedes that has so many miles on it and it would cost a fortune to fix it if something goes wrong. Getting an extended warranty is easier as you pay a little at a time because you're paying for it anyway. It's just basically a credit line to fix your car. And if nothing goes wrong with your car, you just paid for something that you didn't use which wouldn't be a big deal if you were prepared for it.
I heard good things about CarShield. The person who sold me the policy was thorough and the buying process went smoothly. And so far, it's been fine with them. They didn't give me any problems when I needed a fix. When I filed a claim for my air conditioning, it went great. Then when I had to change the date on my payments, I talked to their customer service reps and they changed it without any problems. But, I just like a little more coverage. I have heard a few other things about CarShield where I almost wanna stop and switch to another company because I'm paying $5,000 and the coverage is not bumper-to-bumper. If my suspension goes, it is gonna cost me $4,000. I've looked at some other places, and for the same price, I can get everything that CarShield is giving me and my suspension. So, it's kinda shooting me in that direction a little bit.

When I bought my car from a dealership, they tried to sell me an extended warranty. I called CarShield and one of the things they talked about was peace of mind. Also, their price was better than the dealership. But when I had to use them, they were not as easy going for that peace of mind. My Jeep Grand Cherokee's check engine light came on. My mechanic gave me information on what the problem was then I found out that there was a problem with the engine in the Jeep. The claims examiner from CarShield spoke to my mechanic and when I spoke with CarShield, the person was arrogant and made it very difficult. They told my mechanic that if they go ahead and take apart the engine as they need to see it apart to find out if it is covered, it opens up the bag alarms. Furthermore, if it was not covered, I already put out the money to my mechanic because nothing was covered there.
I had to tell them that I don’t care whether it was covered or not and I want my engine taken apart to know the problem and CarShield will be held responsible. At that point, I was to take them to small claims court if they didn’t cover it. I took the car away from my mechanic who was very qualified and I took it directly over to Jeep and had Jeep deal with CarShield. They covered it only at that point and everything was taken care of. When I spoke to Jeep, they gave me information and told me that they will take care of the car and the other parts should be taken through my extended warranty company. I was without a vehicle for almost four weeks and I had to rent a car at the cost of $1650. I was not happy with CarShield's service.
Now, CarShield only covers a few bucks for a few days. I’m paying and staying with CarShield because I already paid for X amount of dollars for 16 months. My problem was taken care of in the end but I was not happy with what I went through. I was not happy with Jeep either because I’m still out $1650 for the car rental. CarShield paid for $1000 for the car repair and Jeep said that whatever the problem was, nothing was gonna be out of my pocket except the $100 deductible which I paid. I go by the commercial, "peace of mind", and I didn’t have it.

I purchased a warranty from CarShield. I was told on the phone by the rep that suspension parts were covered. Little did I know that when I brought my car into the shop for an axle to be fixed, they said it was not covered. I spent about 500 on it. I called and told them to cancel my account and I would potentially consider filing a lawsuit for the repairs plus the down and monthly payments. They told me they would review the call and get back to me within 48 hours with an answer. A WEEK went by. No word from them. I called back in and asked what was going on. A rep told me he was very sorry and he that he just lit a fire under the call review department. He said he would personally call me back later that day or tomorrow. He assured me that he was a man of ethics and he doesn't like people being taken advantage of. He never called back.
Three days later I called back and asked what was going on with the call review. They said it had not been done yet and they would just cancel my account and give me my money back. They did give me my down payment back and monthly payment. However, this company is shameful in their dealings of customers looking for a service they need. Refunding me the money doesn't make up for the lost time or even the 500 I spent repairing my car. I am still considering a lawsuit considering my experience is very common amongst other complaints. Lastly, I am still shocked that they couldn't even honor calling back when they said they would or to at least let me know what the call review status was (I still don't know). I will never deal with this company again and would never recommend them to anyone. The disrespect and callousness is unreal considering the effect this had on my budget and my stress level.

When I sold the Avalanche, I wasn't expecting that I had money coming back to me because the warranty wasn't up yet. Filing a claim with them went well. Everything has been great.

CarShield's term and mileage were good. I was happy with the plan. However, before I filed a claim I had to call CarShield because the mechanic told me that my plan was expired. He had given them the VIN number instead of policy number so they were going under the original factory warranty instead of the extended warranty. We checked my details and I had stored my information and verified that I had a 100,000 mile plan and it was still good for another year. I was at 83 at that time and I said, “No, it’s not expired.” So I had to contact CarShield myself to verify that everything was good and what was going on. They told me, “Let’s tell the guy to let him call back and get it all cleared up.” It all cleared up eventually and everything turned out fine. Other than that mix up with the communication between the dealership and them, everything was very good.
The cost is a little high but I’m getting the value of it. That last claim was for $1500. I actually would have used more if I had remembered it earlier because I’ve had some other repairs where I didn’t claim it because I didn’t think about it until after the fact. I’m very satisfied with the service I’ve been getting and the coverage that it provides.

I have never bought a used car before. I always bought new ones, so I was advised by several folks that I respect to consider getting an extra warranty on my used car. I found CarShield and I decided to get one from them. Purchasing the warranty was all pretty easy and they gave me great customer service in the beginning to get the warranty going. I also got the literature, so that I had references at home.
But the hands of the original representative that you work with when you have a claim are tired. They don’t have any power to authorize a claim and they're just information gatherers trying to get your experience and what’s happening with your car. So, I read my handbook, made sure that my payments were on time and that everything was done thoroughly. Then, when I presented my claim in front of them, they denied me and the first reason was because of mileage. I told them that that was weird because from what the handbook said, they should be honoring my claim. Apparently, the first representative that set me up with the warranty took down a wrong number for mileage.
So, we cleared up the mileage. Then, they tried to deny me again based on the fact that I had driven on a car with a leaking transmission for so long that it has become a problem. But that was not the case at all. Three garages said there was no leak in the transmission and what they saw was a little bit of oil residue. But CarShield didn’t take any samples, so they assumed the oil residue was transmission fluid and they denied me again.
I had the garage write a written statement and I had other information from other garages, so I fought it. I wrote to CarShield through the link that was on the Better Business Bureau in a very detailed personal letter of why I purchased the warranty, what was their obligation to me as a covered person, that their denial of my claim was absolutely absurd, and that this should not be something that was denied. So, after fighting with them a little bit, writing back and forth, and talking to managers, they finally paid the claim. Still, it felt like that was their mission to deny everything. If I would not have had the writing skills and consumer rights information under my belt, I don’t think they would have paid it and that any other person would have just been denied.
Right now, they’re trying to tell me that they’re going to change the original mileage of 92,000 to 95,000 and I don’t know what that’s about because all of this has been done and taken care of. Changing the mileage would increase the warranty timing and I don’t know why they’re doing it. I couldn’t get an answer, so I’m kinda curious. So far, I have a representative trying to get the information and he said he would give me a call.
Also, a manager called me three times and when I called back the number that they called from. I even registered it in my phone, it was not a working number. So, their manager calls from a number where you can’t get a hold of them and you have to go through an 800 number to get a hold of the rep and the managers. That made me think that they're a shady company. I was also thinking about canceling my warranty, but since they upheld their position as a warranty company and paid my claim, I’m gonna uphold my position and continue the service with them.
We are very sorry to hear about the stress you endured during the claims process.

I have an older vehicle and the warranty on it was up and I wanted to keep the truck because of everything we've done in it. My husband has always done upkeep on it and he tried to make sure that after he was gone, I wouldn’t have any kind of problems with the truck. So we decided to get an service contract for it, and we got it from CarShield. I was pleased with their customer service. They would call back if they tell me they'd call me back. We wanted some quotes and things and they called me back, was very helpful, and friendly.
With the warranty, I was able to get a new engine and I only had to pay $300 for the fluids and minor things that they did on the truck. I was so worried because that happened a month after my husband passed away. But it really worked out and I really appreciated them helping me. The engine was done very well. I feel secure having my CarShield warranty. When they fixed my truck for me, I had to ask some mechanics and everything. I said, “Would you feel comfortable getting in it and driving to the West Coast?”. Then they told me that it was no problem. So being a female and an older female, I don’t know anything about vehicles, so that eased my mind about getting out alone in my vehicle. I've told my friends about CarShield.

I could not be happier than I was today. I give this company and the representatives two thumbs up with a 5 star rating. If I could give a higher star rating, I would but I have to settle for the 5 which is the maximum allowed. I will definitely be recommending this company with friends and family.

The problem with the AC in my car has, as of this moment, not been fixed. The dealer, Reynolds, in Orange, VA, has yet to call to get approval for the repair. I'm not happy with Reynolds Service dept. or personnel yet. So far my experience with CarShield has been fine. My problem is with the service at the dealer.

Wonderful experience, individual was very knowledgeable and the product/policy was just what the Dr. ordered to be able to get this coverage at the price we were quoted. Can't say how much I appreciate CarShield. God bless you all.

People kept calling me and wanted me to take out the insurance on my car but none of ‘em would tell me who they were working for. Then one guy finally broke down and told me it was CarShield. So, I took out the insurance with him because he was the only one who answered my question. We had an experience a while back and had to have the car worked on. The dealership had my car for five weeks. But CarShield gave me a loaner car which was great. The car got fixed and most of the bill was paid. But the dealership told me that $520 would be from my end, so I ended up paying that amount.

I have tried twice to CarShield to take the payment for my policy out of the right account. I have called them twice & told them to change the account number. As of today they are still taking the payment out of the wrong account. So once again I will call them to see if they will start taking the right account. They always insinuate that it is my fault.

I looked into a different company and they wouldn't even answer the phone. CarShield at least responded and the people were helpful and competent. They answered my calls, talked about the warranty and what I needed to do, and followed up. CarShield has good customer service and they cover the repair of certain parts of my car. They don’t ever cover 100% of the parts for a Mercedes but they cover at least 50% of the costs and their service was of better quality.

Deserves all the highest honors and praises. She goes over and above to prove how exceptional she is as a carshield rep. And is not afraid to share.

She was extraordinary to say the least!!!

I'm an ASE certified technician of 28 years and just needed a plan to cover engine and transmission in my 07 F150 5.4l. I do all my other work like complete A/C work, intake gaskets, starters, water pump, and anything that surrounds the engine. Also I will do my own computer diagnostic and will perform my own repairs also. I can do my engine and transmission replacement but I'm too busy doing everybody else's. So I saw an infomercial about it and decided I would give it a try. Now I haven't had a claim yet but they were friendly but a little pushy. But I'm hoping their coverage is true and I'm not the person that can be fooled but for the monthly price they gave me which was discounted greatly because of my skill I decided to give it a shot. But remember when you get a quote these people are salesmen and get paid to sell you the highest package. So do some research and decide what you really need for coverage...

I called in about CarShield and was told the entire AC system including the front end would be covered under the warranty, unfortunately there was quite a bit of misrepresentation on the part of the sales rep. At no time did he say there would be parts of the front end or AC not be covered. He said it covers the entire AC and all parts on the car excluding brakes. I was suckered. I took the car to a Ford Dealership to see if I could get the AC fixed, the compressor was working but blowing hot air.
Found that there were 4 separate repairs the car needed, and NOT ONE of the parts or service would be covered. I am very skeptical of the Ford dealership as well but also will never do business with CarShield again simply because the price of the actuator not covered is the same price of the compressor motor if that had gone out of service. I called the company and all the parts listed under the claim were excluded with no explanation of why. I have since cancelled my membership and still stinging for 200.

I received a letter regarding Vehicle Protection (Extended Warranty) and opted to call this company for more specifics. The person with whom I spoke, for the most part, was friendly and courteous. The call began with her asking for the year/make/model of my car. I told her that was actually what I was calling about... If a letter arrived, advising me that I have "not contacted them about having my vehicle service contract activated", then they should have records on file to tell ME that information. She then talked of the massive amounts of people they work with daily, so I offered to give them my "Customer ID Number" so she could pull up my specific information, but she still said she wouldn't be able to find the information THEY wrote ME about!
I've received many 3rd party letters such as these, but ALL refer to either my CURRENT vehicle, or one I've had within the past 7 years (now I KNOW those were bogus companies... WHY write me about a car I'd given up years ago), but they at least referred to SOMETHING! Truthfully, I'm tired of these types of letters - period! I'd reach out to someone for an extended warranty should I feel the need for one; however, it so happens that since 2011, I've LEASED my vehicles and have NOT purchased any of them after that particular lease was completed.
I'm not saying that I wouldn't potentially consider working with CarShield, but it does bother me that they have assigned me a supposed "Customer ID Number" and yet, cannot refer to any information about it, nor did they refer to a specific vehicle of mine they're supposedly contacting me about! IF I ever am in a situation whereby I'd need to activate an extended warranty, I will do a LOT of "homework" before choosing ANY 3rd party company! I've read a lot of wonderful reviews about CarShield, but I also saw a bunch of negative ones as well. I just wanted to share my experience with everyone else who is checking into this (or any other) 3rd party company.

Talked to someone initially that was a salesperson who could not help (very apologetic) and forwarded me on to rep that did help me answer questions I had that the repair facility had asked me, which was how you paid your claims. The repair facility only wants to have credit card payments paid to them via the warranty services which I was explained is how you do it. We will see how the claim process goes as my son is going to leave his car at the facility in morning on Friday.
