    When I first signed up with CarShield I informed them about the reviews I read but silly me I still try giving them a chance. I explained to CarShield representative that my mileage on my car wasn’t in mileage and it was in KM and I only went by the estimated mileage on my dashboard from my oil change. I also told the customer service representative that I was not 100% sure what the mileage was when I signed up. I never received a contract in the mail and I called several time and asked can they emailed me a copy and I never received it, I had to called twice this week after a month when I finally received the contract through email. I went to my mom house and my car wouldn’t turn over, called them. They told me to call roadside assistance, and so I did.

    I gave them my contract number and they couldn’t find my contract and told me I would have to pay and get reimbursed and I said no and called CarShield again. This was Tuesday. I didn’t get assistance til yesterday (Thursday). My car ended At Pep Boys. They said there’s a knocking and before I made them go any further I told them to call CarShield and tell them, what the issue was. They thought my car was in mileage and told me it was 187,000+. I told them my car isn’t in mileage but in KM. They estimate the mileage to be less than the 117+. What originally was on my dash board. Because the mileage on my car was calculated wrong from the previous mechanic CarShield doesn’t want to honor the contract anymore. And believe me I wasn’t surprised because I read all the reviews but I wanted to give them a chance and I wanted to be the 1% that gives them positive review.

    But unfortunately what they did was prove everything that was written on every negative review to be right. Let’s also add they really have poor customer service. When signed up they were nice but once there’s an issue and they have to pay, you get the nastiest attitude. The last customer service argued over 10 min after I asked to speak to a supervisor because they wanted me to send in a Mail in a cancellation letter for me to get a refund because it's over 30 days. She stated that was in the contract that I didn’t received until Tuesday of this week. When she FINALLY gave me the supervisor he was nice enough to give me the email address after I explained the above. But I would suggest not to sign up with CarShield because they would find ways on not paying for the car to be fixed.

    Save your money and don’t waste your time because it’s a headache to get your money back and right at this moment I have to pay Pep Boys out of pocket and I won’t be seeing my money anytime soon. Car-Shield please don’t even respond to this comment, because I will not be contacting you guys again and I really don’t have any interest in what you guys have to say unless you guys actually going to honor your contract but because I know better and that’s just not going to happen. I think everyone here should file a class action lawsuit against CarShield for breach of contract and false advertisement.

    We wanted our vehicle to be covered. We did a quick search and found CarShield. I misplaced all of our paperwork but they were able to forward everything to us when we needed to use the service last month. Everything went great. I would tell a friend to get an extended warranty because it was totally beneficial.

    CarShield called and gave me the best price for the service contract on my vehicle. I filed a claim over the phone for my vehicle's engine and they told me to take it to the dealership. They gave me several places, but I wanted to take it back to where I got it from since they did the work before. My car was there for two weeks before they even got the approval to go ahead and fix it but the deductible was fine and they were great. I had a good rapport with them and everything was just wonderful. They gave me a 2018 Cadillac to drive so that was good and I would recommend them.

    I had a warranty on my car, but when it ran out I didn’t get it renewed. I had seen CarShield and I just got with them. Their certified vehicle protection specialist explained to me the different packages and I picked the package I wanted. They ran down to me how everything works and I was satisfied with them. I bought into it and pay every month for my package, and I’ve been with them since last year. When I made a claim, the only thing I didn’t like about it was they gave me a week for rental, but my car wasn’t ready in a week so I had to pay the rest of the amount out-of-pocket when I had to keep the car for another five days. But overall, they took care of the bill and I couldn’t ask for any better. And if someone asks me about CarShield, I'd tell them that they're still cheaper.

    I’ve had good experiences with CarShield. I had AutoAssure before and they didn’t cover things that CarShield covered, but yet I was spending the same amount of money. It prompted me to get with CarShield then. They are a lot better. I had called in and CarShield's representatives explained everything to me. They even matched the price of AutoAssure. And they told me when I would be able to file a claim if I had something that happened. Also, they told me that I had 30 days to figure out if I did or did not want the plan and if I wanted to upgrade. They were pretty nice. I call in to do my payments as well because it’s cheaper that way. I also like that they told me not to pay it off, if I wanted to, in one lumpsum payment. I’ll be calling in today so I can make my payment, and I like that they’re quick. I give you my credit card number, and it’s done. So, I appreciate that. With AutoAssure, it took so long to have to do so much.

    I had a claim with CarShield, and the dealer didn’t seem to have many issues. I had my car back in two days, which usually does not happen. When I dealt with AutoAssure, they always sent the adjuster out and I was without my car for at least a week every single time. So, CarShield handled it really fast. So, I like that because I wanted my car back. I feel more confident with holding on to my car since having CarShield because they covered so much. I recommend them all the time. I recommended them to my mother and to somebody else and they both signed up, too.

    I got a certified pre-owned car and I wanted an extended coverage more than what it was automatically coming with when I purchased it. A guy from CarShield called me and the price is right for the amount of extra coverage and the quality of coverage that I was getting. It was basic coverage and most things that could happen mechanically on the car. The guy knew what he was selling and he gave me the rundown. I had to squeeze a couple of extra years, and I made him put more mileage. We finally negotiated on a little bit higher mileage and year coverage. So, he was willing to work with me a little bit based on my needs.

    I had to use the warranty not too long ago and filing the claim was a fairly painless process. There was an interaction between the mechanic and CarShield, and although they didn’t cover one of the belts that was damaged with the claim, it was an $80 part. It would’ve been nice for them to cover it, but they covered about $1400 worth of damages. So, that, in exchange for $100 deductible, worked out my favor.

    I didn’t have a warranty on my car and I planned on keeping it a while and wanted to make sure I had a protection. I called CarShield, they gave me a price, I said, “Okay.” I had work done on my car a couple of weeks ago. I called in, talked to customer service and told them the car broke down and I need to get it towed in. They said, “Okay. Someone will be with you in an hour or so.” I had a couple of different tow companies that did call me back and said, “Hey, we’re not gonna tow for those guys.” So, I kept calling and on the third time they got it right. They called the adjustor out and then he took care of the stuff I needed. CarShield did what they said they were gonna do so I’m satisfied with them.

    I had a service contract on our car when I first bought it. The previous warranty company I was with only covered up to a certain amount of miles so I went shopping for a different company and I found CarShield. CarShield had the most reviews over any of the other companies. It was just that as far as what it covers, CarShield covers less than what I had in the previous company. Other than that, my experience with them had been fine and they seemed to be easy to work with. The warranty was more expensive than I thought it should be. But customer service remedied that when I called back to pay the account in full instead of doing a monthly payment. They lowered the price to give me a discount so it came down to where I thought it should be.

    Filing a claim was very simple. I just took the car to the dealership and they handled the rest. It was great and that was what I wanted. Everything was fine just as I had expected. I already have told a couple of people that I was happy with my plan with CarShield and I recommend it. We take a lot of family vacations and it feels good to have a protection plan knowing that when something major happens, I am mostly covered.

    Most of the factory warranty on my vehicle had run out and despite its age, I could still get coverage on it so I got a service warranty. I got calls from a couple of different places but I’m glad I got the extended warranty from CarShield. It only took a month for that coverage to kick in and I've only had to use it once. I called the number, spoke with the people at the dealership and everything was taken care of promptly. I brought the car into the dealership because I was hearing a noise and the low tire sensor was going off. It turned out I had a flat tire and they explained to me what was going on with the rear end of the truck. I had a problem with the bearings in the rear axle. That was no longer covered under the factory warranty and I told them I have an extended warranty.

    I gave the paperwork to a lady, she made a couple of calls and got back to me. That was on a Friday and I brought my truck in on Monday. They had somebody from the warranty company come and look at it and I had my truck back the following Friday. All it cost me was a $100 surcharge and the bill was over $1,600. I didn't have $1,600 lying around so the warranty was very valuable. I was very happy and I had a good experience. CarShield is definitely worth it.

    CarShield called me shortly after my service contract run out. I liked their service plan because I got 100,000 miles and it seemed like it covered a lot of stuff, so I signed up with them. Their sales reps were very cordial and they laid out the payment plan options, the cost of it, and the life of the service. They were also pretty responsive in sending me information and confirming everything when I decided to get it.

    Last month, I submitted a claim with CarShield. Their reps spoke directly with my mechanic and he said it was easy to get the information on what was covered and what wasn’t covered under the warranty with the repairs that I was getting. He only needed to spend a few minutes on the phone with them to get that, so their interaction went nicely and quickly. I had to pay additional fees because a couple of things weren’t covered under the service plan, like some of the brake stuff I got done, but as far as the main issue that was wrong with my car, which had to do with the transmission, all of that was covered. The warranty also required the mechanic to do a little extra preventative maintenance on that part, so that was pretty good. I wish more things were covered but what's covered now is enough. I see the value on having the warranty and I'm happy with my experience with CarShield.

    My husband used to fix the car when there was something wrong, but I'm a widow now and repairs cost money today. I'd seen CarShield on a commercial and I kept thinking about it. I called my son and told him that I wanted CarShield for my car, and he agreed. A very nice rep from CarShield came to my house and he explained everything to us. He said I could pay the whole thing or make payments but I told him that I couldn't afford to give everything so I preferred to make payments and he said that was fine. He understood and I was happy with it.

    I have filed claims with CarShield and they did a great job. It was very easy to file a claim and it was comfortable knowing that I didn’t have to do anything. They took care of everything and it was nice. I gave them my book that has everything in there and they handled it so I'm pleased with them. I dropped my car off and the inspector had to go there to make sure everything was okay. My car was fixed and then he had to order parts for it. I could have gotten a car from CarShield at that time, but my son took me wherever I wanted to go. But next time, I will get a car.

    The warranty is $2,500 and they said that when I finish paying that off, then I have three years that I don't have to pay. So I told CarShield to let me know since I am keeping them. When I told my friends what I experienced with CarShield, they were happy about it. They said that they've never heard of it and I told them that if they don't have a husband and they're by themselves, CarShield is something they should have.

I told him what he wanted to know and he gave me the warranty that I got. He said CarShield pays for the motor, transmission and all electrical. He got electric motors for the winters and he said they'll pay for that too. It was cheaper and better so I tried it. So far, it worked out good. I still owe them money but I'm paying them every month.

    When I purchased the warranty I specifically asked if they replaced parts with used parts or if only new parts were used as I had a friend who dealt with a warranty company that put a used engine in his car that had problems. He assured me over the phone that CarShield was a reputable company that used only new parts to repair vehicles.

    My Audi A4 was about to run out of factory warranty. CarShield's reps told me about what is covered and what is not in their extended warranty coverage. Buying the warranty was easy and it was straightforward. Submitting my claim went smooth. They're responsive and they were quick to get on my issues.

    CarShield has refused to complete their part when it comes to repairing my wife car: So far $1800.00 in car rental fees, $110 in towing fees, and now accumulating storage fees from the repair shop. The operators at CarShield are useless when it comes accomplishing any progress in the process of repairing vehicles. I don't even know why they are in this business. Car currently sits in pieces at repair shop due to mandatory tear down for further diagnosis and inspection that was ordered a week ago (3/29/2018), and today 4/5/2018 I was told that they could not authorize an inspector to come and inspect what they wanted to inspect.

    At this point, I have no words and I can only laugh. CarShield has received Diagnosis from the dealership, specialist, and two separate Auto repair shops, and still they are asking why is the car not working. NOT MY JOB, I PAY, YOU FIX!!! It's like they don't understand their own business concept. Bottomline: CarShield is a continuing criminal enterprise pretending to be car warranty firm. To whom it may concern, FAIR WARNING: CARSHIELD WILL ABUSE YOU IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY WHATEVER THEY ARE PRETENDING TO SELL. 1st hand experience-stay away from this company.

    I’ve seen CarShield on TV and based on the commercial on at the time, I went with them. Their reps were nice and kind. Their knowledge about the product was okay. Also, their vehicle protection specialist helped me get back on the road again when my car broke down. I had my car towed to where I wanted and the repair shop filed the claim for me. I put my gear in Park and Drive, then it locked up. I called them and the guy there took care of it for me. The cost has been okay. I let them take it out of my check. CarShield's people are good and the service has been great. I'd tell friends that they need to get that protection.

    I hate writing this review. I've researched reviews on Carshield now and I've discovered there are 2 stages with very similar reviews. The first is of the ordering process. It's positive (like my own experience). The second is of those trying to have a claim paid, those are negative (like my own experience). I can pay to have my vehilce torn apart to see if the repair is covered and if not I'm responsible for any and all cost of the teardown and repair or simply putting it back together.

    From what they explained over the phone there is a 95% chance it won't be covered. That's not why I pay nearly 10% of my annual income for a "new car warranty" as the very nice salesman called it. That's a huge gamble! I'm not willing to take that gamble, my gamble is paying the high premium every month for a policy that said they would be there for me. I told the salesman upon purchase "I'm hesitant because all is good now but when I need you I'm afraid there will be some technicality and I won't be covered". He assured me that's not how Carshield works.

    Now that exact thing has happened; so unfortunately I've got exactly what I expected from Carshield. I called to discuss my situation and got transferred several times 2 times back to the same people that were supposed to "handle my situation". I'm frustrated even further because I've already paid well over the amount of my repair to Carshield, but still owe even more than that to fully pay off my policy. I have great apprehension going further with the new lack of trust I have with Carshield. They have not contacted me further even though I have reached out for more discussion on this matter.

CarShield/American Auto Shield is denying payment calling it a suspension problem. Luckily, my dad and husband will do the repair since Ford wants $500 to fix it ($42 part).

    Dairyland was my company and I was looking through different insurance plans and I looked at CarShield’s plan and I liked their plan too. My idea was that I pay so much and they pay so much, and if I get an accident and it’s not my fault, insurance is going to pay for everything. I liked the policy and CarShield is a fair company and I wanted to deal with them. I wanted to overcome all the obstacles out there to prevent myself from getting in an accident. Their cover sounded right to me so I got it and I’ll work with it. My vehicle is my line to go to work and to come home. I did the setup process online and the person that got me to them is my brother. He was also the one that did all interactions for me.

    When I purchased my vehicle, I waited a while and I found out the transmission was really bad so I called CarShield and got it fixed. I like the quality of their service so far because when I brought the car in to be fixed, they were right there and looking at the transmission. I paid so much and they paid so much, and I got a brand-new transmission. I like how quick they were. Since purchasing their protection plan, I feel safer and I feel like I got somebody on my shoulder that’s helping me with different things. It was the best policy I could think of because with Dairyland, if I got hit and it wasn’t my fault, they would pay for everything. I would call them and they would jump right in. It’s very good for me to have CarShield. If there are any problems, I can call them and they’ll cover and take a picture and see what’s going on.

    I would tell my friends CarShield is a program that helps their vehicle and it’s a better thing for them because if they’re going to drive their vehicle and have a problem with it, CarShield is right on it. Like me, I rented a car for two days. I brought my car in and they said it’s going to be about five days. And it was only two days when I went and picked up my vehicle from being fixed. It’s going to improve and I’d recommend it.

    I called about 4 days ago looking for a extended warranty because I just purchased a used car. And after hours of reviews and looking at what was best for me I thought CarShield sounded great, until I got a very very pushy salesman who was very rude and wouldn’t let me speak or hardly talk. And at the end said, "Well if you don’t sign today your loss," I tried explaining I would like information in writing to look at and study for myself. He replied, "Well I told you what you get," so I am like really you want me fork out money for something like this without anything in writing saying what I get before I sign!!! So CarShield if you like my business and anybody else’s first fire this guy and second get in touch with me and provide me with simple detailed information about what is truly covered in writing and let me make my decision without a rude push salesman who acts like he’s selling timeshares in Vegas.

    When my factory warranty expired, I started using CarShield. It has been such a long time ago when they called me, and if it was not for them calling me, I would have never known about them. The knowledgeable sales rep told me his offers, how much it would cost compared to other warranties and what it would cover. He told me how much I could save off purchasing the warranty.

    CarShield is almost like the factory warranty if not better. I just had some work done on the Equinox. We took the Equinox to the dealership. They looked to see what kind of warranty we had. They were saying how good a warranty that we did have because we had quite a few things done that some of which were under factory and then the other things were off. I used the warranty and it covered everything. For what I paid, CarShield is well worth it. It is nice to know that even though the factory warranty is gone, I still have a warranty that covers the car from bumper to bumper. If anyone is looking for a warranty that is for a vehicle after the factory warranty has expired, CarShield would definitely be an investment to buy.

    When I purchased the car, the guy from the dealership said somebody will write, but he didn’t say who it would be or from what company. But then I started getting letters from CarShield saying, “This is the final attempt. Your car warranty is running out and you should protect your vehicle.” I wasn’t looking into any company and I don’t know how they got my information but decided to go ahead and use CarShield. The vehicle protection specialist was doing his job and he told me that I could ask him a million questions if I have to. So, I kept asking him and he provided me answers. He was great and he was telling me about the product.

    I told him that I heard about scams like this stuff before where people will come out and say they have insurance or extended warranty. I was skeptical about purchasing this insurance but he made me trust what he was doing. I asked what their coverage was, and then he explained it to me, and I thought it was suitable for me. He told me that I would pay $140 a month, and I went ahead and did it. The entire package is about $3000 plus for the budget of this insurance I have, or $4000. He gave me several options too, so I took the best one. I did a claim with CarShield recently for my transmission. I was driving my car but from time to time, I would feel a little vibration and I was wondering what it was. So, I took it to a shop and they told me that my transmission might’ve been lifting or something. So, I said before it gets any worse, I’ll just have them take care of it.

    CarShield's quality of service is recommended, and I would recommend somebody to the company. I would tell my friends that CarShield is a legit and safe insurance company, and whatever CarShield tells them, it’s what it is. So, they've got to make sure because if anything is hidden, it’s probably because they didn’t read their contract. CarShield is solid as a company. If they’re looking into getting insurance or extending warranty it would be a qualified company because I’ve used them before. I just had the insurance, and I know that if I needed it one day, I would have it.

So they told me that it was my timing belt and that my timing belt on my 1998 Honda Civic Lx was broken and that CarShield wasn't going to cover it and that I was going to be responsible of fixing it myself. They sent out an inspector to the shop to inspect my car and that's when they gonna try and say I already had that problem prior to me putting my car in the shop.

    So CarShield company wouldn't cover my repairs or labor and they told me they wouldn't put me in a rental car either because it's base on what my contract say. I read my contract. So I went back and forward with AMERICAN AUTO SHIELD. They told me even if I would've waited after March 2nd 2018 to get my car fix. They still wasn't gonna fix my car regardless of the fact. The only thing I got was a 400 discount which is a month free from $130 to now $113.00 and that's it. I still would like a refund back of my money since they isn't getting my car fix.

    I received a call in response to an inquiry I made online for a warranty. I explained that although the deal sounded good I couldn't commit while on the call, that I would need to do my due diligence. The man was ultra aggressive, reminiscent of a "timeshare closer" (the guy that comes in at the end and makes you feel stupid for not signing up). When I explained that I might purchase the plan but not today, he became rude, saying, "If you knew you weren't going to buy, why did you keep me on the phone all this time?" I then remarked, "I'm sorry but you just completely removed your company from consideration." I didn't catch much else that he said, but he never stopped talking. My input was largely irrelevant during the conversation. The call was at 12:18 pm and came from 636-542-5794. Unfortunately this call was such an experience that I would never consider the company, regardless of price.

    I saw an advertisement for CarShield on TV, and I thought I would check it out. After all, they said I could get a free quote so why not, right? I entered my information, and within a few minutes a representative of CarShield called me, as expected. He confirmed my information, and then transferred me to a sales rep by the name of Matthew. Matthew started off nice, offered me a quote that I was not going to be doing so I turned down the offer. I told him a couple concerns and he offered a second quote. I tried telling Matthew multiple times that I was looking for a quick quote so I could do a little research on my own to determine the best option for my budget, and even if I could budget it. Matthew ensured me that this was in the best interest of my budget, but he was not interested in letting me actually determine my budget.

    We went back and forth for a few minutes, and I continued to tell him no until I was forced to hang up on him because he was becoming rude at this point. When a company will not put a quote on the table, and allow you to think about it for even 24 hrs that is a red flag. When a company will not send you information on the plan they want you to sign up for without giving them $150 start up fee... that is another red flag. When you have to hang up on a representative because they will not take no for an answer... a third and final red flag. Perhaps this company is legit, but due to poor customer service I was never able to actually find out.

    We have two cars warrantied with CarShield. My daughter Erica bought this warranty for me on another car as a gift. I don’t have the other car so it's still in Erica’s name but I'm the guy who pays for it. CarShield did right the first time but now, I don't know what they got going on over there as dealing with their customer service team was horrible. Instead of putting a rebuilt motor in the car, they got a motor from the junkyard that was supposed to have 30,000 miles on it. We’ve been driving the car for about three weeks and now, it's leaking oil again. Also, they're saying that they're not going to cover the rental car.

    The motor on the second car went out also and they said that they couldn’t cover that because it had carbon in the engine. Any engine you start up and run is going to get carbon in it. It has just been a bad experience all the way around. After this, I wouldn’t do it with CarShield again. They’re charging us money every month. All they care about is what they could save at sales. I wouldn't have come back a second time if they hadn't been right the first time but now they're doing things different.

    After reading a lot of reviews about Mercedes diesel, purchasing a service contract seemed like a smart move so I got one with CarShield. One time, I was on vacation in southern Maine and the car was towed and it had to stay at the dealer so that CarShield inspector could look at it. CarShield wouldn't do it with photos, Skype nor FaceTime. The dealer was willing to do everything. She wanted that car out of that shop because my car is a diesel and when there's a problem with the BlueTec system, it winds down to so many starts. When you get to the last start, the car is basically a brick and has to get towed. So, the car was in the service bay, dead.

    However, the dealer was very upset that they had to wait a full business day, on a holiday weekend only for the inspector to show up at 5:00 in the afternoon so the car couldn't be repaired till the next day. The dealer filed the claim for me, did the repair, and CarShield paid the $2,000 repair, except a $50 deductible. The car sat at the dealer for four days over a holiday weekend. I could have spent $250 a day but there was no way to rent a car, and the dealer didn't have one. Being stuck for days with no car in the vacation area, where you have to drive to go anywhere was terrible. I called CarShield and complained afterward but they told me that was their policy. They have to see the car in person and I was in an area where there were no inspectors, and the inspector drove a 100 miles to look at the car.

    The service contract I had with the car had expired. At that time, CarShield stood out because of their price. When I was about to purchase my warranty, my questions were about how much I am going to pay and what CarShield would be covering. They told me that I'll get the whole book, which I was expecting in the mail. They also told me that I had to download it so I did. I was able to save it at the office and it came in handy. However, they didn't cover tires under my warranty. I remember when I purchased my car, it was right during winter. There was so much salt and we had potholes galore. With my car being low, I tried to avoid it. But many times, you just don't.

    When I called first about the car because I had to get all my tires straight from the dealer, the ones that were put on me were gone. I had to purchase new tires since they told me that the tires aren't insured. They have to get other warranty stuff. And so I went to the tire place, they told me that they couldn't give me insurance on the tires. So then I get the warranty after a couple of months. I was able to use the insurance on the tires but I didn't even think about asking about the extended warranty. Still, CarShield handled it okay since I know that due to the weather and the snowing, it was difficult to come through. However, my thing is they told the car dealer that they have to take everything apart and the dealer called me up to just rant. He said that they're not touching it until they get paid. So I had to go that night and go give them $500. Other than that, CarShield was able to cover my tow.

    I did some research and CarShield seem to be better in total than some of the other ones. Their sales rep did a good job. He gave me the information I needed and we went from there. My car was a 2011 and only had 40 some thousand miles on it. But the warranty carried me through a 125,000, as I ended up trading the car to a new one. I then switched my CarShield to my other car. But CarShield wasn't very good. They tried to tell me that my repair was a preexisting condition when I had it at the dealer but my service records didn't show any of that. I talked to the adjuster supervisor and then they ended up approving it and worked it out with the dealer. I had no problem after that and the quality of the service was fine. The whole process took about a week and a half. Other than routine maintenance, everything is covered by CarShield.

    The adjuster that CarShield was supposed to send didn’t come when he was supposed to. The first time he had a car accident and the second time, he was on holiday. So the car remained in the shop for almost three weeks and I needed to get a rental car. We were not supposed to pay for the whole rental car but I ended up receiving not even half of what they were supposed to pay. I was billed with $1,500 and the reps I spoke with on the phone said they were going to pay for it. I wasn’t told that they were only supposed to pay for six days. Apparently, I should’ve read the agreement first. If I knew that they were going to bill me for the other days maybe it would’ve been better if I stayed home and not work at all. So I would recommend CarShield to others but I would advise them that whenever they are supposed to get a rental car, they should really look into that and ask CarShield about it even if it’s necessary to call a couple of times.

When we spoke with the people at the dealership they said that the place was closed. But we told them that we had to get it done so they fixed it. After the fact, we found out that CarShield only covered $250 of the cost because they didn’t get the call first. We weren't happy about it, but that was written in the contract and it was very black and white.

They convinced me based on the information they gave. Filing a claim with them was simple. I called CarShield and drove the car to Volkswagen which they said they worked with. I didn't have to do anything. Volkswagen called CarShield and explained what the issue was, then they sent a technician. The technician checked and he contacted CarShield back, then I called CarShield again and they said my claim was approved.

    I called a couple times to have some claims clarified and some of their reps were knowledgeable and explained everything. There were others though that were very rude. Also, I didn't like that when my car was in the repair shop, CarShield didn't tell me that I could get a rental car until several days later when basically my car was ready. But it's always good to have an insurance or a warranty to cover your car expenses. CarShield was able to secure the claim that I had.

    My prior extended warranty company had horrible service. I had something that needed to be repaired and they didn't cover the service. I called CarShield and I liked what their rep said. I even gave him the information about the tire work I had done and he said it was something that they cover 100%. So, I ended up switching. Everybody at CarShield was very courteous, and the process of signing up was very easy and seamless. My second interaction with them was good, too. The guy was prompt with calling me back and keeping in touch with the dealership, and even my dealership was pleased with CarShield.

    The claims process was very straightforward, quick and easy. I simply had to give the service guy the dealership number. He called, he had people come in the next day to do the evaluation and within 48 hours, the decisions were made. This last service would've cost me over $3,000 and I only had to come out of pocket with $1,000. So, having CarShield was definitely worth it because I never had any problems that were as crazy with the engine, which was like a fluke. I'm pleased with CarShield and I have recommended them to other people. They're an affordable car service especially when you're outside of warranty, and it's the next option to help pay for any extra cost on a car repair.

    I had retired and I figured if I had problems with my vehicle, I was going to need some help so I got a service contract for it. I used to have the original manufacturer warranty and it did a little better than what CarShield did because I had a bit of problem getting CarShield to do what we wanted them to do. But CarShield fixed it. I just had to argue with them a bit. The service manager in the service department at Barkley wanted to put a new motor in the truck but they wouldn't let him so they ended up putting oil pump on it. That fixed it so far but we'll see.

    I haven’t had any more problems lately. But the service manager at Barkley said that the way that the valves were growling, he's scared there may be some damage in that. This oil pump may be a temporary fix and he got a little aggravated with them. It took about 14 days to get it fixed when it should've been fixed in about two days. Nonetheless, the cost is fair and is comparable to others. But people should make sure they know what they're getting when they sign up for CarShield because the way they explained it to me when they kept calling me on the phone, it would cover a lot more stuff than what it covered.

    I had just bought the vehicle and it was still eligible to be on its manufacturer warranty, but when I talked to the gentleman at CarShield, they offered so much more, and he was much nicer than the people I talked to at Chrysler. I read in the manual they mailed me about the parts that were covered, and I've had two claims on my cars. It seemed like everything from bumper to bumper was covered under that warranty, which was another thing that made me choose CarShield. Also, the price for the warranty was outstanding, so I was very happy with that. When I called, the reps just asked for my claim number and what kind of car I had. Then they told me to go get the car fixed and tell the mechanic to call them, and they would be more than happy to assist me.

    Car repairs can be really expensive, and if one has the computer things like I have on my car, getting CarShield is a no-brainer situation. You're willing to pay for some very expensive repairs or you'd be smart and just pay a small monthly fee. You can spread out a monthly balance over a period of time and get your car fixed and you're going to come out winning in the end. CarShield is a great company and everyone I've come in contact with, so far, has been really nice. I most definitely referred CarShield to several people.

    CarShield was the first one to send me something when my manufacturer's warranty was going to expire. When I had an issue with my Saturn, I took the car to the dealership and they contacted CarShield. They said that what was wrong with the vehicle wasn't covered under the warranty. I called them after I found that out since it was a part that should've been checked the last time that the vehicle was worked on and they didn't have a good answer. They just said it wasn't covered.

    I filed one other claim and it took longer than a week for my car to be fixed and given back to me. My vehicle was in the shop, then somebody from CarShield came to look at it and told the shop what was wrong and the shop had to get a hold of me to authorize the fix. The CarShiled reps were the only ones that could do the repair but they didn't stay there at the time and told the shop to wait. They'd go back somewhere else and look at another vehicle. That cost me another day or two before they got back.

    If people have an issue with their vehicle, CarShield needs to make it a priority to get it resolved not just when it's convenient for them to come down and check the vehicle out, but when it's convenient for the consumer. Had I gotten an extended warranty through the dealership that I bought the car from, everything would've been covered and I probably would have my car back within a day or two. I would not go with CarShield again nor would I recommend them to anybody else.

    My wife has a fairly new car and with the type of car that she has, we thought we would get a good coverage for it so we decided to get a protection plan from CarShield. So far, we’ve only had to use it once and it works great. The amplifier went out and she took her car to the service center and they checked it out. She gave them the information that she had from CarShield and the service center got in touch with them and everything was taken care of. They covered everything that had to be covered and we just paid a $100 deductible. The overall quality has been very good. Since we’ve never had to buy anything like this before, the cost wasn’t bad at all. It was quite reasonable. Since we had CarShield, my wife feels more comfortable that if something goes wrong, she’s covered.

    I had the warranty that came with my Porsche SUV and because I have an expensive car, I needed to extend the warranty. Someone from CarShield called over the telephone. He was very knowledgeable and thorough in terms of explaining all of the options that I had in regard to coverage. The price was negotiable and we went back and forth and came to an agreement. It was a price that was within my budget and I purchased it.

    CarShield seemed to be everything that I signed up for. I had to use the plan once and something went wrong with my car, and the interaction was negotiated between the dealership and customer service. It was going to cost me about $4,000 or $5,000 out of pocket because my insurance had lacked and Porsche was willing to give me a way off of only $1,000. They thought they were doing me a favor by negotiating with Porsche corporate office since my warranty had just expired with them. I waited for them to do their negotiation and then I let them know that I have the additional insurance. When I explained it to them what my benefits were, they were shocked that those were comprehensive.

    I was pleased with the coverage that I'm getting from CarShield. I'm a widow so it's just me and I don't know much about cars. I always have the sense that the dealership is going to rip me off. Knowing that I've got them behind, I feel more secure that I have insurance that will cover almost anything that goes wrong with my vehicle.

    After the warranty ran out on my vehicle, I thought it would be a good idea to get another service contract. CarShield sent me a mailer and I reached out to them, asked some clarifications on what was covered and what was not covered and they were pretty helpful. They also gave me a good price, so I went with it. I already filed a total of two claims and the dealer dealt directly with them. I did not get involved. But I recall one time, the dealer wanted some repairs done on my car and had contacted CarShield’s adjuster to come and do an inspection. The gentleman at the dealership said that they were very easy to work with and he was quite impressed because, in the past, he has worked with other companies and hasn't had as pleasant an experience.

    Overall, the quality of service was fairly positive and I haven't had any issues. They've been very responsive and accommodating. I would probably end up paying more for the coverage than the cost of repairs but that's that way it goes sometimes. And CarShield covers what they say they're going to cover and they don't fight you on claims which I think is the most important thing.

    When I received the paperwork from CarShield it said that they would cover everything. But when I spoke with the mechanics they said it was baloney and that CarShield only covers the big stuff. They’re supposed to be more clear. What I receive from the company is supposed to be, point by point, what is covered. I need the information because whatever I pay is supposed to be covered by this company. I don’t know why there are not so many mechanics who respect this coverage or they don’t know how to deal with it. Plus, the mechanics differentiate how to operate the service. Even when I go to the dealer, they are not happy. Nothing is covered and I would have to pay something or go to the other.

    The person who knows the coverage doesn’t know how to process an oil change. He has tried to call but he doesn’t know how to fill up the form and I don’t understand. What I have is like some fake stuff such that they could treat me like an idiot for what I needed. I had a problem with the electronic accelerator and I spent $2000. They charged me twice like they used me and it was not fair. But when I filed about the transmission it was easy.

The garage filed the claim for me, got back to me in a couple of days and said that CarShield accepted. That was seamless. CarShield did what they said they would do. They had work done to my car and I paid a $100 as my deductible. My car went into a garage and laborers spent hours on it and that was compensated. And the part that was mailed to the garage was also compensated. But they took a bad part out and they were supposed to replace it. They replaced it with an equally bad part, possibly even worse.

We purchased a new policy around January last When filing claims, I just go to the dealer and he would take care of it for me. Also, the protection specialists were pretty good. However, I wish the cost was less. Based on my policies, they were around $3,000 a piece and this one is a repurchase of a policy that gets to 100,000 and the other was additional purchase from when I had bought that policy with the 2005.

    I let my credit go towards my new vehicle and I was unaware. I did not really understand the issue with the mileage and the year thing and I should’ve just got my money back and bought it later because we have the car for five years and the policy went out. I actually bought a brand new vehicle and kept the policy going there. I had it paid off within the first year and a half and then five years later, I found out that even if my vehicle had less than 80,000 miles on it, my policy was in the over the five-year thing.

    CarShield’s customer service was a lot better than other warranty providers including the last warranty people that I dealt with, so I decided to purchase from them when I needed it. Their vehicle specialists explained the warranty to me a lot better and they had answers to whatever questions I had. To get approved for a claim, I call them and they tell me what I need to do. They tell me to take it to the dealership, and the dealership will contact them after the dealership does what they need to do. I did what I was told and everything was taken care of.

    I was very appreciative how their customer service rep handled my situation, except when I was getting letters from CarShield and I needed to contact them concerning my warranty and other stuff because they didn’t take my name off a certain list. It confused me thinking that something was wrong with our warranty, but they took care of it so I haven’t received anything else in the mail since. Other than that, their deductible is low and I would tell a friend to check them out.

    I planned on keeping my vehicle and I had low mileage on it so I decided to purchase a service contract for it from CarShield. Since getting the service contract all my interactions with my certified vehicle protection specialist have gone smoothly. I submitted a claim for the car about 3 times and it was covered. But when I took my electrical problem up there with them they figured out a way to not cover the repair.

    It came down to where the vehicle is fitting at a Ford dealer. The car repair company submitted the claim and CarShield sent an adjuster down to look at the vehicle and authorize the repair. It's a convertible car and it was raining on the day that CarShield's adjuster came out to look at the car. I live in Washington state where it rains quite a bit. No water was leaking into the car. Still the adjuster said that the electrical problem was caused by excessive moisture in the vehicle. Because of that moisture it would not be covered by CarShield's service contract. Up into that point it was fine. But then all of a sudden, it was like, "I'm not too happy with them." But I'm still glad I have probably the same warranty and hopefully if I do have another incident they don't figure out a way not to play pay the claim. If a friend would ask about them I wouldn't recommend them.

    When interacting with CarShield, I had overall a good experience. Every time I was on the phone with them, they were very polite and friendly. Unfortunately, due to financial reasons, I had to cancel my contract. Even when canceling, they were friendly, although a little pushy on trying to get me to stay. As soon as they realized I was intent on canceling however, they were very helpful in instructing me on how to do so. My car ran into no issues during the term of my contract, so I cannot comment on the process of filing a claim. My only issue with coverage is it does not cover leaky gaskets.

    So I saw the commercial for this on TV, and thought it might be good for my daughter who lives in CA. Went online and filled out the questioner only looking for a quote and was almost immediately contacted by sales. After a brief conversation was switched over to a coverage specialist (Kevin). I couldn't give him the exact mileage cause she's in CA and I'm in MD. Looking for only a quote only on a 2007 Nissan Sentra and the commercial says 20 years or newer. Kevin said to me that due to the age of the car if I didn't purchase coverage by the end of the call they might not be able to get coverage. Told him, "Ok thanks. I'll try something else." While I was hanging I could hear him say, "But don't you want your quotes?". What a piss poor way to try to get business.

Right now, I’m thinking of an independent mechanic. Even so, CarShield helped me out with everything. They're perfect but when it comes to the service, they're not good.

    Kody of Carnegie, PA summed it up. Wanted a quote, got passed around and price lowered. Then lowered again. Since I wouldn't pay the fee to start contract right then they didn't send any information. They called me on 12/22 or 12/23 after I inquired about a quote online. I told the first guy I would not give him a yes or no as he went through the script. I thought the second guy understood that right up until he asked how would I be paying for the fee today so he could put my contract in the mail. Then you get to start all over saying, "No, No, No."

    I can make this short and to the point. I was told that my contract would cover the engine, transmission & drivetrain & electrical. I have a 4 wheel drive Suburban. CarShield refused to cover any type of sensor (electrical). They refused to cover my transfer case (a lubricated part). When agreed to the contract, I was told that the only maintenance that was required for me to keep a record of was my oil changes. Once my claim was filed, I was told that I have to keep and have a maintenance record for everything. If I couldn't show proof of it, they won't cover it. The transfer case was inspected but no service was done to it. Nowadays, all vehicles run by computer. Sensors are critical to the function of a engine. It's part of the electrical system in all vehicles. CarShield won't cover anything. They will conveniently find a reason NOT to cover your vehicle.

    Like most people, I like to get multiple quotes before making a decision. I contacted CarShield and told them that I am comparing coverages and prices. Instead of understanding this request, they kept putting different people on the line to explain how I was getting the best deal and that it doesn't matter what the other companies say. In the end, the salesman got frustrated and just said "ok bye" because I told him repeatedly that I needed to discuss the payments and coverage with my other half. They also did not email me the quote they had discussed over the phone. MY ADVICE: If you go through them do not accept the first price they mention because they dropped the price for my coverage at least three times. I will be doing business with Endurance based solely upon their actions on the phone.

    My mother mistakenly took the bait from this company. She has a nearly brand new vehicle and it's under full warranty. When I called to cancel it on her behalf I was given this song and dance of the warranty on her car started when it was built and that the extended warranty she purchased FROM NISSAN was backed by third parties that looked out for the dealers, not the consumer.

    First statement of vehicle warranty starts at the time it was built, not the in service date. FALSE. Your warranty goes active when you purchase the vehicle and it goes into service. Second statement of extended warranty is not backed by Nissan but by a third party. Really? That's very interesting since it's a Nissan warranty and states that it is backed by Nissan, not a third party. Rendering that statement as FALSE as well. This leads me to my next statement. If this warranty was backed by a third party then what exactly is your organization? It surely isn't the manufacturer.

    Finally I would like to further state that the customer service is terrible. We'll call it customer NO SERVICE. They talk all over you, cut you off, etc. so that they may still give you their stupid song and dance of why their company is so great. In my eyes this company is a complete fraud preying on elderly and unsuspecting individuals. If they were the last auto warranty company on the planet I still wouldn't do business with them. I'd rather walk or ride a bike. So buyer beware. You've been warned!

I used them once months ago when I needed a tow and I was pleased with the service. My starter wasn’t working, so CarShield got a tow truck to me, but I should have read my contract to see that it was limited on the amount of miles.

    CarShield is a excellent place to buy warranty coverage. I have their premium package very happy with the results. I have a 2015 2500 Silverado. Had one issue with it already. The only thing came out of my pocket was $100 for the deductible. I Have another issue with my truck right now and they're on top of it. Can't be more happier with this coverage. Thanks CarShield for the great service and response.

    My car is an '08 and it had 20,000 miles on it. I wanted to buy an auto warranty for it but I thought I couldn't get one because it's too old, then CarShield called me. I talked to a supervisor and he was awesome. They were great and not pushy. After I beat them down for a while, it took about an hour to purchase the warranty. I've already made a claim and they took care of everything, which was really nice. I was a hundred percent satisfied. CarShield is great and a good company. I'm recommending them to my parents.

    Updated review: Dec. 21, 2017

    After getting a hold of a rep, they were able to confirm the original cancellation in their notes, and it looked like the original rep I'd cancelled with wrote a notation about cancelling but forgot to actually cancel the account. After seeing the error, they quickly agreed to refund every penny they'd charged me, from the down payment to the monthly fees, which was nice and unexpected. They didn't even put a fight, just offered right off the bat. So that was much appreciated.

    It was still a bit weird that they had my wrong email account on file so I'd never heard from them in that span where they were charging me leading me to believe I was cancelled. The whole thing was essentially a comedy of errors due to two reps making a single mistake each (forgetting to cancel, wrong email), so while I'm comfortable recommending Carshield to anyone who feels like they could use the extra peace of mind by having their car extra-insured (it really is a pretty good deal if you're using your car heavily, delivery drivers and such doing hundreds of miles a day), I do so with the caveat that you double check some of your account info while on the line with them, and follow up and/or watch you account info if you cancel.

    Still though, I'm extremely satisfied with how they resolved this issue. Very quick and professional about it, and was never on hold for more than a couple minutes.

    Original Review: Nov. 24, 2017

    I signed up earlier this year after I bought a car and they called soon after. During my sign up, they said I could cancel within the next month or so if I wanted and there'd be 0 charges. The next day, I did some math and decided it wasn't for me, so I called and cancelled. They were very friendly and were happy to cancel after talking about why. I verified with them that it would be cancelled and there would be no charges. They said "yes, that's exactly it, cancelled no charges." Well, turns out that was a lie and ever since earlier this year they've been charging me $133 / month for the last 8 months. The entry on my bank statement looks similar in text and amount to some other recurring fees so I didn't really notice until I decided to take a really deep look at my statements. Everything was fine, as expected, except for this CarShield entry. I dug deeper and they've been charging since at least April.

    They verified my cancellation, verified I'd never be charged, but then they charge anyways and just hoped I didn't notice. They've almost certainly done this to other people. There's no way I was the first. Nothing like this has ever happened in my history of using many recurring products and services, so I doubt it's coincidence it happened with CarShield. They probably have a small amount of income they can rely on by stealthily not cancelling and hoping it's not noticed. It can be hard to find single charges amongst hundreds on a monthly basis for everyone. CarShield are thieves. Their customer service isn't even readily available, so I can't even do anything about it right now, outside of this review. Think twice about CarShield, they will literally steal your money.

    We keep our van in good shape and we just want to make sure nothing goes wrong with it. And if we couldn’t afford all those wants we thought that an auto warranty would help out. CarShield was rated high based on the ratings and responses that people give. However it's not as well as I thought it would be but it's still a good company. I had taken it up in and got it worked on. And when I first got the policy, the guy told me that I had 24 hours to come out, which upon those 24 to 48 hours weren’t such a big deal. But when I took my van to the auto repair was when I found out I wasn’t allowed to take my van out of the shop because they said that CarShield wouldn't allow me to take it out of the shop until everything was done.

    I'm handicapped, so I had to have a van because I can't get in any other vehicle. So, they finally got me a van, and then I came to found out CarShield tells me that they'll only pay for four days and I could have taken my van out once the adjuster got there. But from what I understand, of course, again they said they were going to send me back a check. They said they'd send it out the 30th. I called in and they said they didn’t send it out until the 3rd. I'm not too happy being told one thing and then I call a few days later and find out that they still haven't sent it out. If they did, I wouldn't mind recommending them to somebody.

    They kept harassing me to put warranty on my vehicle. I go to the dealer because a part was messed up and come to find out CarShield didn’t cover that part. I started paying them from February and never used it... I asked them to terminate my contract because it didn’t cover that part... They terminated my contract but only reimburse me 150$ from the almost 1000$ I paid since February... I feel like I got robbed.

    I called to cancel my account and instead of them understanding that I was calling to cancel because of hardships he sent me around in circles. I wasted my whole lunch break arguing with him over cancelling my services only to be told that I have to write this whole letter out telling them why when I already told them over the phone. It's a hassle and when I asked for a manager he refused. If I could get my refund I totally would so I would not want that experience again. Irritating and time consuming. I could understand offering me a deal at first but he wasted 30 mins before that. It was ridiculous.

    The first time I took my Chevrolet Impala 2011 in, the auto warranty policy says all my electrical parts were going to be covered but that didn’t include my motor for my car seat so that had to come out of my pocket. And I consider that as part electrical problem because it’s an electrical motor. But CarShield said they don't cover that. Then my electrical lock went out and they didn’t cover a certain piece of the component for my electrical lock. That's part electrical as far as I can say. And then my head gasket blew and they said because the contract states that another lubricant part has to go out for the head gasket to be covered, they won't cover it either.

    But I went through a process and made me pull my car motor out. That was $1,000 that I had to pay out of my pocket that they didn’t cover. Lastly, I wanted to get a rental car and they didn't help me. I had to pay for everything. So I told them I gave all my money to them but I couldn't get anything in return. It was a waste. And I felt the customer service team led me on because if I knew I was going to have to pay for my car motor that was going to come out, I would have gone up another route and tell them not to touch my engine. I will just trade it in.

    Instead, I had to pay $2,000 on top of the trade-in and it just wasn’t worth it. If I knew all the principles and the factors, I would’ve gone a different route definitely. Also, to be led this much astray when I just went through a hurricane with no power is bad enough. All I had was a car. If someone had told me what’s going to happen and had explained how the benefits worked, I would have said okay. Given my dissatisfaction, I won't recommend CarShield to anybody.

    I used CarShield once when my air condition compressor broke. It came in handy because it was $1,000. It took longer for the dealership to get the part, but everything else went well. I've told several people that CarShield is definitely something to look into. If you're looking for an extension on your warranty that pretty much covers bumper to bumper with very few exclusions, try CarShield.

    I have owned my vehicle for eleven years. This extended warranty is of value due to the age of my car. The coverage of parts is also good. The only thing that I don't like, which is not the fault of CarShield, is that car dealers charge so much for labor. Because of dealers' high labor, I pay a lot more than the $100.00 deductible. I would recommend CarShield.

    I bought an extended warranty from CarShield. Yes their Sales tactics are high pressure. The warranty coverage was provided by a third party, Interstate National Dealer Services. INDS will go out of their way to find a way to deny coverage. The contract has an A to U list of exclusions, and they will find a way to deny your claim from their endless list of exclusions. The most common gotcha, is the part is a covered part but it didn't fail. It's "wear and tear" and “we don't cover that”. You know they will not go over the 12 page contract in the sales call.

    CarShield came in the mail and I ended up getting a good deal with them. CarShield started out real high and I said, “No, thanks.” And then they kept working until it was something I could afford. The warranty worked good. I had used it on my truck when the front axle seals went out. It took a couple days for the adjuster to get here and bless it. The dealership said it’s broke so they had somebody come and say, “Yeah, it’s broke.” The truck was down for about four or five days but, other than that, it was no big deal. The dealership called and handled everything for me. I didn’t have to do anything but show them the policy and other stuff. They had the part overnighted, and the truck was back on the road and going a day or two later. I hope I don’t have to use the warranty again but it’s nice to have it if I need it. I got the extended warranty for the last two trucks I’ve had and they've paid off in the long run.

I had to verbally tell him that I was getting frustrated and that I was tired of his assumptions and that I was about to hang up on him. EVEN AFTER THAT, he still continued to speak down to me and harass me. He obviously cares more about making a sale than about actual customer satisfaction.
