    Car Shield is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They are very slow to get an adjuster to review your vehicle and if you are denied coverage and go to file a dispute you spend hours upon hours calling different numbers, having to a different person each time only to be told you have to go BBB to resolve your dispute. I am very sorry I didn't look into their company/advertising further and find out they are not a reputable company.I am only giving them a 1 because you can't leave a 0!****** H

    I have a warranty policy with Car Shield. I needed a repair done to my vehicle and was told I was not covered for that particular repair. So I paid for it myself so checking my policy again. I called back and questioned them about it. Then they said I should be covered for that repair. So I’m thinking they are going to reimburse me. Had me send in my invoice and receipt which I did. Car Shield denied my reimbursement claim stated that the repair shop is not up to there standards basically. But their commercial says you can take your car to your favorite mechanic not true. But if I was not told my car was not covered I would’ve not been in this position looking for reimbursement. This company is misleading the consumers.

    I had carshield for only a month when I had to use it. I called 15 repair shops and was told the same thing by everyone. They do not take carshield because they do not pay the bills, or they are so hard to work with they want nothing to do with this company. I am lucky I was able to cancel my plan before I lost to much money. I would not leave them one star but I had too. I actually had there custom service line hang up on me after I was online for three hours and 10 agents later. I was just put off to everyone and no help.

    There have been three previous telephone calls placed to this organization to remove my name from their mailing list as I am not interested in any of their products. Today 8/10/22, I received a fourth letter from them. What would make a company keep contacting you when you have informed them of your intent? This says to me that there is something unethical about this organization that people need to be aware of.

    No, I would not recommend CarShield to anyone. It's terrible coverage and customer ********************** when no one can give an answer any time I call. The repair shop tells me they are waiting on CarShield. Then CarShield tells me they are waiting on the repair shop. Someone is lying and I'm pretty sure its not the dealership. I wonder how long things would actually have taken, if I hadn't called and thrown a fit about it. And companies that give nothing but excuses and force the customer to have to do the work and pay out of pocket for simple things that SHOULD be covered, is unacceptable.The car rental coverage offered is horrible and it's the most confusing aspect of the policy. Must have 4 hrs of labor - not repair time, not waiting time, not in total, but ONLY labor time it takes to fix the vehicle, to even get any coverage at all and then what? You cover 1 day, per 4 hrs labor and then have to have 8 hrs of labor for additional days? On one hand, it says rental car coverage is $40/day up to 6 days for a total of $280. And it even goes on to explain, that includes time waiting, time to get parts, etc. But then goes right back to the labor requirements. So which is it? The way it is explained is the most purposefully confusing load of ****  And then as if having to pay out of pocket for car rental isn't enough, your "inspectors" take their sweet time getting to inspect the vehicle needing repair. So an ENTIRE WEEK goes by, before an inspector even goes to look at the vehicle, and then takes their time getting approval sent in, but it should be the very next day the vehicle is turned in for repair (if not day of) the inspector should be on the case. Its just ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad, if you actually covered the car rental...but twice now, I've had to fork over hundreds of dollars because of this entire **** show. And you don't even cover all the parts needed for the repair. Lots of money out of pocket and confusing policies are terrible business.

    CarShield is horrible. I paid them for over a year for my Infinity qx56. My engine went bad. So I had the shop contact carshield and so did I. They sent their technician come out and they said nothing was wrong with it. I took it to 3 other shops and the dealership and they all said my engine was bad. Carshield sent another technician out and they said that my engine was bad but that whatever made it go bad they didn't cover. Had to pay $10000 out of my own pocket. ***... Never get carshield!!!
