I joined Carshield but had to cancel my account due to financial problems. Carshield was so helpful and understanding about me having to cancel I will definitely rejoin just as soon as I am financially able to do so. This company is definitely "customer oriented".

CarShield is a marketer ONLY; they pass you off to third parties who deny 98%+ of all claims. America Auto Shield is one of their avenues to promise "peace" yet create nightmares. Look at the true 1star/2star reviews on Consumer Affairs. Oh yeah, CarShield reinvented themselves by removing the space between their name, one reason, to hide their "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau.

I have never purchased this type of coverage for a vehicle. I had many questions and my representative was able to answer all of my questions and assure me that this coverage was a good investment in piece mind. I expect that cars will break down but this coverage will give me security and convenience at a rate that I can budget and plan for monthly.

I cancelled my coverage with CarShield within 30 days but noticed they had forgot to credit my initial payment and inadvertently billed me for a second month. I called the CarShield customer service line and they said they would credit me for the two payments. The experience with customer service was quick and painless.

I have a 2012 & 2013 Toyota Prius. What is not covered in their auto warranty is the inverter; a key component in the power train. This fact was not immediately obvious to me, or with the Car Service representative I talked with on the phone. I had an inverter failure covered under the Toyota warranty, otherwise the repair cost would have been $2,200. It took three phone calls to confirm an annual insurance premium of almost $2,000 wouldn’t cover this repair if I had signed on. Might be better for other makes, but not a Toyota hybrid.

Purchased extended auto warranty from Car a Shield for all 3 of my vehicles about 5 months ago. Car Shield is a front and sells your account to SCAM WARRANTY COMPANIES! Took one in for repair, not covered, ok but the repair shop said they would not work with this company again due to long wait time to talk with rep. This week took a different car in for A/C service. Compressor clearly covered in my warranty but denied coverage. Spoke to soooo many people, spent over 8 hours on hold in three days while I was supposed to be “on vacation”. The dealership Repairing said they would not sit on hold with this company after the second time they called. I ended up calling and then doing a 3 way call once an adjuster finally answered. Spoke to Hector Adjuster, he spoke to Hans supervisor, the freaking Auto Technician at my repair dealership talked to Blake Floor Manager who was extremely argumentative and rude to both of us. Would not listen to the technician who said the compressor was seized and should be covered accordingly. Blake finally hung up on both of us when the technician began asking specific technical questions to prove my case. Absolutely A SCAM COMPANY!!!

Don’t buy this! What a scam. I was paying over$100.00 a month. I had the mechanic at Honda tell me that I needed to replace my PVC valve. A total cost of $240.00. Car Shield would not cover it. I immediately cancelled. The mechanic at Honda said he has tried to use them 3 times for customers and they weren’t covered

If you put the $100 a month in a jar instead of giving it to CarShield, you would have $1200 a year for any car repair you need with no chance of having your claim denied. $1200 may not be enough for the repair, but it's better than getting $0 from CarShield when they tell you that your specific repair is not covered.

Last year I had saw an ad for Car Shield and thought that it might be a great for my aging car (2013 BMW 535). I called them up and got some basic information but they would do EVERYTHING they could to not let me off that phone. They made up stories to relate to me, gave me hypothetical horror scenarios, and kept coming back to offer discount after discount. When I tried to say that I would call back after speaking with my wife, they pushed even harder for you to commit. I ultimately did but quickly cancelled the next day and got a full refund since they left such a bad taste in my mouth from the experience. Fast forward to now - a sales agent called me back last week and did the same spiel to get me as a customer again. This time I was very non-committal but they did the same thing (relate, worst-case scenarios, the whole bit). When they started to ARGUE with me to sign on, I hung up and blocked the number. Next day, ANOTHER agent called to try and sell me the warranty. I hung up immediately and blocked the number. TODAY, I get a LETTER in the mail making DEMANDS to respond back and sign up for their warranty, even a deadline! They are just the worst. I work in sales and they clearly have no concept of what going too far is.

I purchased a warranty for my 2015 Mercedes Benz C300. First of all, the customer service that I had experienced was excellent. The rear differential broke and I took the car to the mechanic of my choice. And the adjuster worked with my mechanic professionally and replaced that part at no cost to me. Process time 1 week. Also, a modular went bad on same car. The service advisor notified CarSheild of the problem and cost of the part. It was fixed the next day.

I bought it back in December but didn't need it till now. My side detection modules failed because of a crack in the module. It caused some haywire in the programming. The insurance agent for car shield denied it because he said there was rust in the units. I don't see how he can determine that since the units can't be opened. The initial cause was the crack in the module letting water in and making the unit fail, NOT the rustinside before the crack occurred. There wouldn't be any rust if the unit wasn't cracked. Now I have to bare the cost of fixing it myself. I am now wondering if I should continue to pay for this insurance. I am thinking that I will be denied for the next simple fix. Calling arbitration was impossible. I tried 12 times and I could not get through to them. Think twice or even 3 times before you decide whether or not to go with this company. The agent assigned to look at my car is not there for your interest , only to save the company money. GOOD LUCK

Car shield set me up for auto payments without my permission (they say it was disclosed to me by the agent who set up my contract. It in fact was not disclosed to me). They then refused to refund me they money they took without my permission and cancel my contract when I called to ask them about the fraudulent charge. When I asked for a supervisor the customer service personnel I was speaking with (Maddie) failed to connect me with one stating “it would take to long to get them”. Hands down worst interactions I have ever had with any company. When I called to get a quote I was extremely pressured into signing up then and there even though I told them I didn’t want to sign up until after I purchased the car I was looking at purchasing multiple times. They are a bunch of snakes trying to take advantage of people and rob them of their hard earned money. DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!! You will regret it if you do!

Car Shield offers the worst service I have ever seen. I have been waiting almost 3 months for my reimbursement on the car rental also they only pid 1/3 of the rental cost and was advise that they don't cover the taxes. Where in the world that they don't cover taxes. They also request a second inspection for the motor to be pulled that they don't cover also the cost of your deductible. But they don't have a problem taking that payment out of your account on a regular basis.

The part was suppose to been order on Friday they never order the part. So now I have to find a way to work cause these ppl don't pay for car rental. The work don't take over 4 hours but yet my car been sitting for 4 days and they don't feel the need to pay for me a car rental! The worst bullcrap company. Don't waste your money the same way they can go to the junk yards or auto zone you can do the samething!

Do not buy an extended warranty from CarShield. My car was having some noise and i took it to the shop, they told me maybe the turbos are bad, they called CarShield and the inspector look and said the turbos look bad but i need the shop to take them down to make sure, so they did and yes they were bad and the inspector wrote in his report, it was wear and tear, the car is a 2007 and have 140k miles when i took the powertrain with turbo warranty. Of course everything will be wear and tear in a vehicle that old. They told me after taking the turbos down, they will not pay for wear and tear that there is a clause in the contract about that. Then they keep passing me around on the phone and said that Car shield sales the warranty but the claim company is different and both don’t want to take responsibility. Don’t trust what the sales person tells you and don’t waste your money with this type of warranty companies that only want to take your money.

I do my research before signing up with any company. I talked to Car Shield and they seemed nice enough. However, when I wanted to go over what was not covered, as well as what their personal opinion was of the company, I got very craftily redirected to another part of the conversation. I then asked the attendant if it was ok that I record the call because it would help me remember exactly what was discussed when I signed up and they hung up. So, after that, I went to the Better Business Bureau and this is EXACTLY (word-for-word) what's on their website. Says it all if you ask me. USE CAUTION!!! Better Business Bureau says: Additional Complaint Information Better Business Bureau is advising consumers to use caution when considering doing business with CarShield, an Auto Service Contract company. BBB has received a pattern of consumer complaints alleging misleading sales and advertising practices, many times indicating thecompany led them to believe they were the manufacturer or dealer, rudecustomer service, failure to cover needed repairs, difficulty cancellinga policy and obtaining a refund, and that the firm made harassing callsor sent harassing mail solicitations.

Don't do it! I took my car in for a covered AC compressor issue. Now take into account I live in Las Vegas, temp was 103 degrees. Called claim number I was given and no answer, 2nd number no answer, so called cust service who said have dealer call yet another number put on hold for 27 min. (Yes, i timed it). Then was told they are closing in 15 min. Put on hold again for 18 min and then they hung up. Next day called again, no answer so I called cust service to transfer to claims put on hold (14 min) then was told an inspector had to come look at car and it would be the following week! The inspector was some yahoo from a repair shop that goes to a certified Chevy dealer and tells them, "oh yeah its the compressor". Took another complete week to get "inspector" there, report given to Car Shield and only a half day to fix the car! To get a rental car, I would have to pay in advance then wait for reimbursement which was not said to me during sales call. I was told "you can go get a rental car, tell the rental agent you have Carshield and they will rent you a car." NOT! I did not rent the car, instead i had to depend on friends to drive me around and hated that so ended up not going anywhere for almost 2 wks. I'm 69 years old, on a fixed income and bought Carshield to make things easier. BS. It took 2 weeks to take care of a compressor part that was repaired in half a day. Car Dealer was disgusted at number of times they were on hold and length of time. I AM CANCELING.

I contacted this company in good faith recently and was up front with them saying that at this time I was just window shopping comparing both coverages and pricing. The agent at that time said that she understood and helped me with what I wanted. That however was not the end of things! I have since been heckled, pestered and downright annoyed with the constant sometimes more than one a day calls from these people in spite of my telling them now in no uncertain terms that I was merely window shopping and had no intention of committing to anything at this time. That has had no effect on their annoying and pushy agents. I have now blocked their number in my phone and would not contact them or commit to any coverage less than free bumper to bumper coverage for the life of my Cadillac XTS. Makes me wonder what they do to others who in good faith contact them!!!

I had problems with my truck and had it towed to the dealership. Well after finding out what was wrong with it I was informed by the dealership that Carsheild wasnt going to cover the repair unless they could ship in the parts to the dealership instead of the using their own parts. I was told by Carsheild that I would need to go to another auto shop that would accept shipped in parts. I asked for a list in my area and every one of them said they wouldn't accept Carsheild. Now I'm left just paying 1800 for the repair. This warranty service should be shut down!

I am advising everyone who writes a review about carshield, to do so after their car breaks down and they need to use their coverage. If u notice, really the only good reviews about them are from people who have not had to use their coverage yet, and just had good customer service. I made that mistake but am making up for it by telling people feeling like u have piece of mind and actually having it is 2 different things. They will most likely never help you if your car breaks down, and see how good their customer service is then.

Dec. 18, 2019 I had a problem with the electrical system on my car, my side mirror motor went out and the entire mirror needed to be replaced. Before we took the car to the dealership to get it fixed we called the dealership to see if they accepted carshield and they did. We went on the website to see if electrical was covered and it was. But when the dealership called carshield customer service they said they did not cover that. This is the biggest rip off. They have a choice of what part of the electrical they will cover. Electrical is electrical, you should not be able to pick and chose what part is covered.

CONSUMER BEWARE. Car Shield sells the warranty and United Car Care is the plan administrator. 2 claims and both denied. $12,000 later with no help. Car Shield states it will give the consumer piece of mind, "dependable, reliable and affordable soluntion to unexpected and costly repairs" none of which is true. No appeal or discussion available. Do not buy.

Car Shield / American Auto Shield: Everything was perfect until I actually filed a claim. I signed up and they debited my account for the monthly payments without any issues at all, LOL. As soon as I actually needed them to perform their part of the agreement they informed me that they do not cover the particular things my vehicle needed, which is really weird because the sales rep that signed me up told me that the coverage was basically like the original manufacturer's warranty except for things like brake pads, fluids or regular maintenance type services. I also find it interested that you can only cancel your contract and get a refund within 30 days of signing up with Car Shield but you can't file a claim within the first 30 days so basically you are out some money before you will figure out that they are a complete scam. The lady I spoke with was extremely rude and short with me, she kept interrupting me and talking over me, it was obvious to me very quickly that they had no intention of helping me whatsoever and were fine with cancelling my contract because they had already received several hundred dollars from me without having to provide any service or pay for any claims. This company has no integrity or honor and simply wants to scam you out of as much money as they can before you figure out that they are the only ones that will benefit from the relationship. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

Doesn’t even deserve one star. Our transmission went out. The car has been in the shop for 8 days. 8 days. A family of six has had no vehicle with two babies 3 and under. Nobody knows their head from their butt here. And everyone gives different information. Everyday they are “reviewing” and “ will call us back”. We have not received one phone call from them. Our claim is still not approved. Nobody cares when you call. Nobody has any sense of urgency when we have called. It’s a long never ending battle. If your job or life depends on your vehicle find another company for your vehicle. Save yourself the hassle.

CarSheild is simply smart coverage. For a fair premium, they covered a whole range of possible car breakdowns on our vehicles. I feel that their policies are effective in coverage, great pricing, and easy to work with on repair reimbursement. Meaning they work directly with the repair shops alleviating you to not worry about. Great service and value all around.
