I was very happy that customer service worked hard to find a plan that would work for me. They explain just how plan works and if I was to have any future problem making payment just let them know in advance. They will be able to work with me.

I know I needed an auto warranty and since I liked what CarShield had to offer, I decided to sign up with them. When I called, the lady rep that I talked to wouldn't take no for an answer. She kept me on the phone until we did it but she was really nice. If you bought a car, the transmission, motor and anything could go wrong. I'm glad there's nothing wrong with mine now because they got that taken care of when I recently filed a claim for my oil pump and timing chain tensioner. The mechanic did a good job. They told me they had Channellock which is a tool known for this situation and everything worked out right. Then, the mechanic called me and told me my car was ready. They get the job done.
As for CarShield, they know what they're doing. I like that they get you with the dealership and a licensed mechanic and they got the right equipment to check your vehicle with and it could tell you what's wrong with it. Even if I have no repair, I'm still satisfied because I know if I do have some repairs, they will be taken care of. This is why I've already recommended them to a couple of people who were asking me about it.

I called in today to move a warranty into my name. I was expecting a long, drawn-out ordeal - possibly one that would not be resolved with one phone call. I was also expecting to pay $75. Instead, I found out that since my Dad bought the warranty, I did not owe any money at all! The process took about 5 minutes. I could not believe it! I will definitely recommend CarShield to my friends. When I got off the phone, I immediately called my Dad and told him that he had purchased a product from a stand-up company. He was very pleased.

I was trying to get an auto warranty 'cause after so many years, I wanted something to keep my vehicle up. I saw CarShield's commercial on TV and the warranty seemed good. However, I didn't know about the price until I called them. Their rep was good and he went all way with everything such as the procedure with it.

Received a letter stating that my warranty was expired. I called to get some information and to get an understanding of the letter. The gentleman went on to give me information about the warranty. Asked for my information and cc. I thought my current warranty was expired but it's not. I expressed that it was a lot of money and I wasn't sure. He went on to say that I could do that down payment and he will send me the contract so I can have time to think about it. I called back the next day wishing to cancel the contract and get the full refund. But when I did, they hit me with more information and lowered the payments.
After I explained that I am unable to pay any of those, they told me that I had to wait to receive the contract and call back to cancel and receive my refund. I understand it's a business and the company is trying to make sales but when I say I can't afford it, "I CAN'T afford it!" If I am unable to cancel and receive my refund, I will be taking further actions because that's just unacceptable. Pushing people, using scare tactics to make money. Especially after I said many times that I can't afford it.

I purchased CarShield Insurance through Omnisure Group, LLC so my 2008 KIA Sorento would have coverage. I was told by the sales person I couldn't make a claim until after a 30 day grace period. Understandable. However, AFTER 30 days, actually around 45 days my check engine light came on throwing a P0016 code which is the Camshaft Position Sensor and Camshaft solenoid circuit. There were some other issues I had checked by the mechanic but this was the main one. After the mechanic did a check and contacted the insurance company, they were told everything they found was "Pre-Existing" and wouldn't cover anything. I promptly cancelled the insurance with an agent and they informed me I would get a full refund.
I received the downpayment of $295.00 after a couple weeks. Then, I received a check for $35.28. I contacted CarShield and asked about this. They informed me the payment was pro-rated after 30 days from starting the policy. This is how I see this convenient loophole for CarShield: After purchasing the policy, there is a 30 day grace period where you cannot use the insurance. After 30 days, your payments are pro-rated. A customer will not find out how the coverage will be evaluated until after the 30 day grace period. So, this means everyone will have a pro-rated refund because they won't know how bad the insurance coverage really is. Be aware! READ THEIR CONTRACT about your coverage and make damn sure you understand based on what you read, NOT what their salesman promises you.
Mr. Denton,
We are pleased to have reached a reasonable resolution with you and are sorry for the troubles you have faced.

Called and spoke to Gus. Explained I wanted an idea about cost of their policies for our Dodge Caravan. I said I would have to discuss with my husband before decision made. He gave me a quote. I said I wasn't sure we could afford and he asked me to hold. Chase came on the line and as we bought it new there was a slight adjustment. He asked for credit card or debit. I again explained I couldn't without talking to my husband. He said he'd hold for me to call him. I said I couldn't contact him at work and I had been honest up front that I couldn't do right now. Then he said could I tell him when my car would break down and I said it was in my drive.
He kept on asking things like that or giving me statistics and I said not now many times. He got angry for my interrupting him. I didn't feel it was getting anywhere and at this point wasting both our time (didn't say that to him). I said, "Ok talk". He said I was being rude, goodbye and hung up. Commercials are playing here several times a day and I thought it might be a good idea. Even when I said I was sure his wife wouldn't make a $4000 commitment without talking to him he corrected me and said "No it was $3500" and started telling me about the cost of mechanics. Ignored the question and started in again. Gus explained all that was covered clearly and now I had a price. That's all I wanted. I even asked if there was a # I could call him back and he said no. I explained I was going to call this evening or tomorrow am to give answer one way or the other. I will not be bullied or pushed into a decision by anyone. I called them!!!

I went to pick up my car from the dealership where we had it fixed and they said I owed $1400. I went in expecting to pay nothing. At that time, there was some confusion because some checks were sent to us instead of the dealership. We cashed the checks and that created some problems. I had to pay and so that night, I called my insurance company and they started dealing with it. It took just a couple of weeks and it got taken care of. Between what my car insurance and the service contract paid, I didn't end up paying very much. The service was good and despite the glitch on both ends, it turned out fine.

I specifically started my account for this review. I have yet to do business with this company other than receiving multiple letters saying that I "have not contacted us (CarShield) to have your vehicle service contract activated" and that "my factory warranty has expired." This along with the envelope having a "Personal and Confidential Open Immediately" notification on the front and there being an account number on the letter, I have never had an account with them. The fun thing with all of this is that I just sold my vehicle after having it for only one year and I bought it brand new. Let's add on to it that it had less than 14,000 miles on it and it was a diesel truck, which gets a rather lengthy warranty.
The main issue I am addressing is the company is trying to put up a facade about warranties and scare people into buying them. When I called about removing me from any type of contact list the individual tried to ply for more information and find out what my new vehicle was after I just told them I bought a brand new car. If it's brand new, I don't need an extra third party warranty. The employee was nice enough, thought being nice does not cover up for the scare tactics of expired warranties and possible large bills. I wish I knew who sold them my info so I could review them as well but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Again this review is not based off of actual services provided but rather their misleading marketing campaigns which I find to be reflective of any business.
Mr. Merson,
I am sorry if our mailers have caused you any inconvenience. We have taken you off our calling and mailing list.
Please be advised our mailers are intended to inform consumers that if their factory warranty has expired, the consumer will be responsible for all future repairs. The sooner you're able to protect your vehicle, typically the coverage plans available are cheaper and tend to cover more components for a longer period of time.
Once again, we do apologize for the inconvenience. You should no longer receive mailers from our company. However, should you ever find yourself in the need for an extended service contact, please keep us in mind. We would be more than happy to assist you in your purchase.
Best Regards!

CarShield called me and I signed up with them because of the number of features that they had covered. They automatically get payments from my account. I had some real serious engine repair done last month and they took care of everything. It was a $3,000 job and I only had to pay $289. They came through with getting my truck fixed and so they were pretty good about paying.
However, they need to work on some customer service. When I called them to find out what was going on, they were giving me real short answers. I had to drag answers out of them about what the repairmen were doing to my truck and I even got transferred to about five different people. I asked the last guy I talked to if he has a last name and he said, "Well, I'm the only Troy in the office." I didn't appreciate that because they keep getting my money every month. They also like had the script on me when it was time for them to pay up. Every one of them I talked to was cut and dry.

Initially, I wasn't going to go with them because the first girl who called me was super pushy and was talking down to me. I called to complain about it and the girl that was helping me out took off a bunch of money and set it up for me a little bit better. So I went with them. Then I had a claim on something and they did it. So far, everything is cool.

Updated review: March 27, 2017
I have received no calls or mailings from Carshield in the past two weeks, so they appear to have removed me from their contact list. I appreciate this.
Original Review: March 1, 2017
I purchased a new Subaru at the end of 2016, and in early 2017 I received a letter in the mail saying that my service warranty had not been activated. This seemed curious to me, since I remembered receiving something saying the opposite. I checked my important papers, and I indeed had a paper saying that an insurance company was backing my 96,000 mile/10 year warranty.
Okay, so I had two forms that contradicted each other. I called the number listed on the recent mailing, and Carshield explained to me that an extended warranty was available, that it was additional to my current warranty. I asked for information, since it sounded potentially valuable. The man on the phone explained to me that it would provide eight years of additional coverage for a few thousand dollars. I told him that I just couldn't afford that right now, and he went on as if to explain a way to make it work regardless of the cost. But then he mentioned how much the down payment would have to be, and I said that it was too much. I thanked him for his time and said I wasn't interested.
At this point he began to badger me with, "Well, you want to own the car long term, right?" and "What if it breaks down?" I had already said that I couldn't afford the service he was offering, so this came off as extremely aggressive and downright rude. I thanked him again for his time and said firmly that I wasn't interested. As soon as he began the same aggressive line of questioning, I hung up. This was the first time I've hung up on a live person who I called, as opposed to having received a call from a telemarketer.
A few weeks later I received a voice message from a man from Carshield saying they wanted to speak to me about the warranty for my vehicle. I blocked the number. A few days later a woman left a similar voice message. I deleted that as well. Just today I received a small form in my mailbox saying "NOTICE: VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRATION," indicated an "immediate response" was required, and that I needed to provide the VIN# and current mileage. My full name and a tracking number were already filled in. Thank you so much, Carshield, for harassing me with downright blatant lies and aggressive tactics.
Mr. Forrester,
Thank you for taking a moment to review our company and bring your concerns to our attention.
Please be advised that your call has been sent to our Quality Assurance Department for review. Should we find the representative was aggressive and/or rude, we will reprimand and re-train the representative, as this is not how we train our representatives to treat customers.
We are sorry our mailers have caused you an inconvenience. We have taken you off our calling and mailing list. Our mailers do suggest consumers give us a call IF their factory has expired. We explain coverage is available through us and to call to activate a service contract.
We have coverage plans available for consumers on all types of budgets. If you're still interested in a service contract, one of our specialists will be willing to work with you and assist you in fitting a plan into your budget.

I wanted to make sure everything in my car was covered so I decided to avail of an extended auto warranty from CarShield. My interactions with their reps were great. It was very detailed and they were very knowledgeable. When I have a problem with my car, I take it to the dealer. They have a copy of my warranty claims of what's covered and what's not. Then, the dealer will contact CarShield and they will send an adjuster out to inspect and verify the defect. The whole process of submitting a claim was great, too and I have no problem with it.

I broke down in Boston on Say. Evening Aug. 13th and was towed from Andover, MA to Wilmington Ma, since that was the only nearby station open on Sunday and I needed to get to Vermont because my boyfriend had died. I could not get pre-authorization from Omnisure because the office was closed and I need to get to Vermont as soon as possible. So, I paid with a credit card on Sunday August 14th in the amount of $677.10. I needed an alternator ($397.09), belt ($74.99), and new battery ($139.99 with installation). Also on the bill was a battery & electrical check ($24.99). I also paid a $24 towing fee out of pocket for which I received no receipt. I was traveling with my cat and my violin and we were stuck at the side of the highway.
When I contacted Omnisure, they said they could not pay because the work was not pre-authorized but they could have a panel review the case. Jonathan at Omnisure said that even though the case was pre-authorized, I could have it reviewed as an emergency situation. It was extremely important that I get to Vermont as soon as possible as my boyfriend had died and I had to remove my personal items from his home in Vermont quickly. I was happy to get SOME money refunded ($194.85), but no explanation of breakdown was given to me as to how that exact refund was figured. At the very least I believe I should be refunded the remainder for the Alternator part ($397.09-$194.85=$202.24). I understand that a battery and a belt are parts that do on occasion need to be replaced, but had my Alternator not broken, I wouldn't have needed a new battery.
It seems that it is quite a nuisance to not be able to reach Omnisure for pre-approval should one's car break down on a weekend! I had no other number to reach Omnisure other than their regular business number. Thanks for your time and attention. PS if you need to contact FIRESTONE to confirm the work, their # is (I think) 978-658-5660. Also, if you need me to send again the work order and proof of payment to Firestone, please let me know via this email address.

I received a letter from CarShield on 2/10/17. I opened it in the evening. The letter stated that their records showed that I had not contacted them to have my vehicle service contract activated. This was confusing because I was under the understanding when I bought my car in the fall, that I had already had a protection plan and this had been taken care of through the car dealership. I was afraid that I didn't realize I had to call to activate it. The letter stated that I needed to respond within 5 days. The letter was dated 2/2/17 and I received it on 2/11/17 which was 9 days past when they needed a response.
I was worried about losing my protection plan so I called on 2/11/17 to see if there was anything I could do. When I called I first talked to a woman named Tracy. She started asking me several questions and wouldn't let me get a word in and when I stumbled she said "Don't you know what kind of car I drive?" I started to feel very frustrated with the tone and rudeness of the woman. I was still trying to understand what the letter was about and started asking my own questions which she couldn't answer. She then put me through to another person.
This associate preceded to tell me that they were offering me a protection plan, I tried to explain that I thought I already had one and that I needed to call the car dealership that I bought the car with and that my husband was not home and I needed to talk to him. The associate told me I needed to take care of this today or I would not be protected and why wouldn't I want to pay just a low deductible of $100 instead of thousand of dollars if something happened. I still was not sure if this was the company the car dealership goes through or was I being bullied into a protection plan I didn't need. Then the associate told me that I needed to pay a down payment of $395 today or I would lose the deal. I said I could not afford that and that I needed to check up on what I already had a talk with my husband. He said again I needed to take care of it today because the deal had expired and they were making an exception.
I became upset and he then transferred me to Jeremy ** who told me he could offer me a better deal but it had to be taken care of now and that if I hung up I would lose the deal. He then offered a deal of paying a down payment of $195 with 18 payments of $ 172.11. $3,293 for coverage. I was so upset and confused by this time I didn't know what to do but was scared to lose my protection policy. I just kept being told if I didn't take care of this now I would lose the cheaper deal. At this point I still didn't know if this company was the one my car dealership went through.
I finally gave in and gave over my credit card information and all my car information. I was so upset but didn't know what to do. I told Jeremy ** that my husband would want to call him especially if we find out we already have coverage in place. He gave me his name and number and said I could call anytime between 8-6 and he was there 7 days a week.
After we got off the phone I called the car dealership and confirmed that I indeed already had a protection plan and didn't need the one from CarShield. I called Carshield back immediately to cancel and they told me that customer service was closed and that I couldn't talk to Jeremy ** because he went to lunch. They would not let me leave a message and told me Jeremy ** could not cancel and refund my money. They said only customer service could not help me until Monday.
I strongly feel that I was bullied into this protection plan, they knew I was crying and just kept pressuring me until I consented. I have never felt so much pressure and stress from associates from a company before. I will be calling back on Monday and I was assured that I could cancel and get my money refunded. It is very sad to be treated in such a way. I explained that I could not afford the extra expense, that I needed to talk with my husband and check on my coverage I already had and I just kept being told if I didn't take care of it then they would not be able to offer me the cheaper deal. I certainly hope that Customer Service helps me cancel on Monday and refunds my money. If CarShield's associates can bully me into caving into their demands I can only imagine what they do to the elderly they send these vague letters to.

I called CarShield on Friday 2/3/2017 at 4:31 pm CST (22 minutes in length), in regards to a notice I received in the mail, informing me that my vehicle service contract has not been activated. Unaware of what this meant, I inquired, and the gentleman (supervisor?) I was transferred to proceeded to explain the various warranty coverage options that were available. After listening to him, I politely thanked him but declined his offer due to my existing financial obligations. Prior to the call, my intention was simply to inquire about the notice, not to sign up for any kind of warranty. I explained to him multiple times that I cannot afford the service at this time.
He then offered me multiple slightly less-expensive options, to which I graciously thanked him, but he still wouldn't take no for an answer. He kept explaining to me that the cost of an unexpected car repair would far outweigh the monthly payments for the warranty, and that I would essentially be silly to pass it up. I respectfully declined multiple times, in rebuttal to each of his offers, but he remained adamant in his goal and would not back down. Ultimately, I explained to him that this is a personal decision and I do not feel comfortable moving forward at this time. Instead of accepting my answer, he repeatedly antagonized me for not seeing it his way. Although he is very knowledgeable about the services offered, I made it very clear that I did not want to agree to any services, and I thanked him for his time.
To this, he fought even harder to pressure me into a deal, and his tone transitioned from warm and understanding to very hostile subjective. He seemed personally offended that I wouldn't accept his deal. I told him that I felt like I was being personally attacked and pressured, and he repeatedly denied this as his intention. I explained that I did not have to justify myself to him, and although I remained calm and professional throughout the entire phone call, I couldn't help but feel like he was trying to reel me in to meet his quota. I did not feel like his efforts had my best interest in mind.
This interaction left a very bad taste in my mouth and I will never be doing business with CarShield in the future. I will never recommend this company to anyone. As someone who has worked in customer service her whole life and who has developed an incredible amount of patience and tact, I have learned that whether you agree or disagree with a customer/prospective customer, it is your job to remain professional and provide that customer with optimum respect and courtesy, no matter what (for the most part).
I was not treated with this kind of care. Instead, I was made to feel judged and victimized, although I demonstrated my ability to remain respectful and professional. I have never experienced an interaction with a business like this before (much less with someone at a supervisor level), and was in shock at the treatment I received. I stayed on this call 22 minutes (as long as I could take) before I finally hung up. It was absolutely horrible. The only reason why I gave CarShield 1 star is because the system requires a minimum of 1 in order to submit the review.

CarShield was the one that called me at the particular time I was ready to purchase a warranty. The only thing that I don't like is that they said that they would give me a rental car when my car was being repaired. I got a rental car and paid for it out of my own pocket and sent them the bill, and thus far, they've stiffed me on reimbursing me for the rental car. The first time they told me they never got the fax, so we sent a second time and they called back and confirmed that they received it, but we still haven't gotten a check.
My car was in the shop for seven business days, nine considering the weekend. The shop that was repairing it said that they haven't received approval to work on the car yet and it had been almost a week before they received approval. When I talked to CarShield about the reimbursement on the rental, they said, "We only reimburse for the number of hours that it takes to repair your car. We don't reimburse for weekends.” But everything else was top-notch and it was a good experience. CarShield did what they said they were gonna do when I purchased the warranty.

CarShield was pushy signing me up, but I’m happy that I have the service. And they did a good job at explaining everything. Their customer service is also good. Whenever I call them up, I end up getting through to a mechanic. It sounds like they’re in a garage and then he would just tell me, “Have your mechanic call me.” And then they take care of everything. I’ve used their services twice. I paid close to three grand total for the warranty. And they’ve already paid out over $2,000 worth of stuff in less than two years. The first time, I had a problem with my transmission. I had it towed to a shop and they fixed it. It was very quick and I had my car back within the week. The second time, which was recently, the electronic part, was also done very quickly. I brought my car to the shop on my own. The guy diagnosed the problem and he called them up. The service of CarShield is really excellent. I’d recommend them to other people.

I am the most forgetful person when it comes to leaving reviews - as I usually base many of my own decisions off of the experience & reviews of others - but this is something that upset me enough to literally create an account JUST to leave a review. I am also never one to bash a company as I know my opinion is my very own & I would never want this done to me, but when a company is a pure scam artist & deserves it, my sympathy and respect goes completely out of the window. I'll start off by mentioning that this is the third time I receive the same letter in the mail about my "vehicle warranty" being "expired". I also cannot forget to mention that my boyfriend received the exact same letter on the EXACT SAME DAY as I did - we have separate vehicles, separate bills, you name it (soooo, let's not be too obvious, guys)!
The very first time receiving this, I immediately called the dealership I purchased my car with and explained the situation, as they reassured me that my warranty remained in effect until 92,000 miles or until January 31, 2019 (which is exactly what I originally thought and a LONG time from now). After receiving this letter for the third time last week, I instantly disregarded. Today, I received a phone call about this same letter! Once I was finally connected to a sales rep - instead of a ridiculous machine - she asked me a ton of questions... including year, make & model of car, how many miles, etc. She also explained that I had an expired warranty. I proceeded to tell her that I called my dealership months ago about this letter & told her that my warranty isn't nearly expired. She proceeds along the lines of... "Ma'am, your warranty ends after 35,000 miles or by _____ (date - cannot remember).
Would you like to go over some of our plans to extend your warranty?" I stopped her there & was certain to let her know that I bought my USED vehicle with 52,000 miles already on it which obviously shows how accurate their system is, right? She continues... "Well, being that you're over 35,000 miles, this is why your warranty is expired and we were willing to offer you additional plans." As I told her that I purchased my own extended warranty WHICH IS STILL IN EFFECT at the same exact time of purchasing my car, she IMMEDIATELY HUNG UP ON ME. IMMEDIATELY!!!
What kind of scam is this? REALLY? HANG UP?? She thought she could get me because I was over 35,000 miles, but how could this company (if it's so legit) not know their facts before mailing letters & calling people? Also, if you didn't really want us to pick up on this scam, you should have a better system when someone gives a response that may not give you the business you wanted instead of literally hanging up in their face!

Claiming with CarShield is very easy. I filed my second claim because my horn wouldn't stop blowing. They had to take the whole steering wheel apart and it was under warranty. The auto dealership just took my information and they handled everything. I didn't have to contact them and get pre-approval. That was a very smooth transition. I recommend them to my friends.

I have an old car and I didn't want to worry about stuff while driving. I’ve always been skeptic about the whole process of auto warranties in general, but I joined CarShield ‘cause I saw a commercial and it sounded legit. The initial call was pretty good. I got the information I needed and I got everything taken care of. It was so easy and I was doing it while I was driving.
When I called asking for additional information about what would happen in the event of me needing anything, their reps were good. I had a ton of questions and they were full of a bunch of information and were really helpful. They show that they really care at CarShield. I did not talk to some outsourced call center, or to someone who didn't know what’s going on or hasn’t been really trained on the policies. Everybody that I spoke with so far seemed to know everything that was going on and at any time that they didn't know something, they knew who to contact or who I needed to contact. It has been a very painless experience.

Well there was two people. The original person I spoke with had to connect me to the salesman. The salesman was like a used car salesman. I thought I was I want a parking lot somewhere looking at a lemon. Very pushy salesman. I told him I needed to speak to my wife which is true. It's for her vehicle. And he informed me that I would have plenty of time to speak to my wife and that if she didn't like it then they would refund the money back to my credit card. I do not do deceitful things behind the back of the one I love.
I was insulted that he would expect me to or ask me to. I am from him more than once that I would be discussing it with my wife and he could email these things to our email and he said he would be mailing the policy to me and that it would take 20 days and we could discuss it then. I don't know what kind of world we live in but it has greatly changed from the days when honor was automatic. I am a 50-year-old man and I do love my wife and my children. I wasn't raised like that and that's the reason why my family loves me. If this generation could learn honor, respect, courtesy and love for each other the world might last a little longer.

I'm extremely upset with this company for attempting to take advantage of my mother. They made her believe that the warranty for her car had expired and she had to get a policy with them. The warranty was 3x as expensive as the warranty my mother currently has (it still has a long way to go before expiring). Then, when my mother called to cancel, the individual on the phone attempted to convince her for several minutes to keep the policy when my mother clearly stated several times she wanted to cancel. Horrible business practices all around!

One of my sons advised me not to buy an extra warranty, but then I never know when something is going to go wrong. I'm retired and I got a retirement check and social security. My car is a year old, and it can cause a lot of money to get it fixed, so I looked into getting a warranty. CarShield contacted me first, so I talked and went with them. The people at CarShield have been really good. I hadn't set up AutoPay. I usually get most of my bills through my email and I never received a bill. So, I missed the payment, and at the time, I didn't have the money. They worked with me to get caught up and then we set up for email notification.

My truck warranty was gonna run out quick. So I talked to two people from CarShield and both of them were great. My experience on taking out the warranty for my truck worked pretty good. The agent that I was talking to wasn’t just trying to sell me something, but actually thought that I needed it and it would be better if I had it. She sounded like she really meant what she’s saying. So after listening to her and talking to her, I went ahead and took the warranty.
Since it's gonna be three years from now before the warranty kicks in to full value, I didn’t want to pay the full price. The agent and her manager gave me a real good price and so I took it. CarShield's price was reasonable and I wasn't gonna get as good a price anywhere else, so I didn’t see any need to keep looking around. Also, their reps were able to answer and help me out with everything I asked. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. If ever I have to turn in a claim, it would be taken care of.

But because I didn't check it at that time, I had to pay to get it fixed. CarShield paid what they have to pay and I paid the rest. Whenever I get a car, I'm going to make sure I have that warranty because the warranty on the car always expires.

But we never know when we'd need a warranty. We take a lot of trips and I don't want a breakdown and have no way to get the car fixed.

I had to wait until I had 1,000 miles before the coverage started working which bothered me a bit but that's alright.
CarShield was all better on some of the services. Nobody except CarShield wanted to cover the electronics. That's very important. She has the radio and the navigation system, which she uses a lot, as one unit. That's $3,000/$4,000, so their coverage helps a lot.

I just had to wait a few days for the equipment to show up.
I made a few calls to CarShield and they stick to the book in regards to the policy that I purchased and it’s understandable. The biggest problem I have sometimes with them was trying to find information on when I need to call on them. Or, I may forget what their company name is. Other than that, I wouldn't go without an auto warranty. I’d say it paid for itself last month.

I didn’t want to be without a car and I wouldn’t have been able to pay for that out of pocket right upfront so when I got the first letter for an auto warranty from CarShield, I went with them. When purchasing it, I was very pleased with the service that I got. It was easy making payments too as it automatically drafted out of my account. When my transmission flipped and it jumped whenever I accelerated, I got it replaced and it was a very big hassle because I took my car in on a Thursday. They didn’t come out until Monday to take a look at my car to see if it was approved. That left me without a car all weekend long. It took them two days to approve me so that left me for about a week without a car. I was very upset about that because they wouldn't cover our car and it was very complicated. But other than that, having the extended auto warranty is very valuable.

It's been great so far with CarShield. They were the auto warranty provider that the dealer provided. The cooling system of our car broke so we filed a claim for our air conditioner to have it replaced. It got replaced and everything was fine. Everything’s been really easy with the customer service team too other than when we didn't have the number in the car and we needed to have the car fixed at the time. We had to call them to get the number, but we found the number when we got home and we just put it back in the car.

My husband told me that getting CarShield would be a good idea because after the car's warranty runs out, repairs might pop up unexpectedly and we don’t always have money available. We answered a mail solicitation before and CarShield contacted me. My husband took care of everything as far as acquiring the extended warranty. He just told me to make money available. I had run into a little problem early on, but when we contacted them, they took care of whatever needs to be taken care of. We paid the deductible, and they handled the rest.
I filed two claims so far. The first one was about a rotary. Once I gave them the account information, the people doing the repair didn’t have any problems. They reimbursed, so that worked. The second claim was when my GPS that went out, and they replaced that board. I like what I have. It is really good because I'm still paying for the car. And as my husband said, if I didn’t have that insurance, it would've been really difficult to make the payment and then get the repairs done too.

I'm very happy with my CarShield experience. The company has awesome reps and their people are very helpful. Having the policy is very valuable. I gave them permission to take payments out of my checking account every month and it's paid back itself already. My train went out and I would have spent $3,000 to fix it but it only cost me $200, so it’s so much worth it. Their customer service team took care of the issue right away and got it done.

When I took my PT Cruiser to the Chrysler dealer, they filed a claim for me to CarShield. But Chrysler's been terrible and it took them three weeks to get my vehicle's AC fixed and back to me. They also took so long with the first two claims I had and they said CarShield didn't pay but I found that they did. So CarShield's been great, professional, and very rewarding.
Dear Valued Customer,
We are so sorry to hear your repair facility has been less than helpful with your claims process. Please remember, you can use any ASE certified repair facility for your repairs.
We are pleased to see that the coverage plan CarShield set in place for you has been more than "rewarding" as you said.
Thank you for your continued business and support!

Making payments for my CarShield warranty was very easy. The price range was what I expected. Though their protection specialist didn't give me that much information, they sent a brochure and that's what I went through. I filed a claim in the beginning of August for my AC compressor. They covered it and worked real well with the dealership on it so it was fine. Everything ran smoothly and that's what I enjoyed. It was a reliable and very smooth interaction.
