I had a repair and my deductible was…

I had a repair and my deductible was $1000 because the repair was within their first three months. The mechanic said that they were only willing to pay $1100 and he didn’t want to do the paperwork for $100 so I paid the full amount out of pocket. Fast forward three months later I have multiple issues with the vehicle none of which that have been reported as having problems. They then said I have to pay the same 1000 deductible because that other claim wasn’t completed which is weird because I paid out-of-pocket. There are other companies such as endurance that definitely take better care of you. Also customer service is another barrier from rude customer service representative. Just just downright not caring. This was the worst decision I’ve ever made and I don’t recommend this company at all

Lissa, we can see why you have questions about how the previous repair and deductible are affecting your current claim. A review shows the adjuster is requesting the invoice from your previous repair so that information can be reviewed as part of the current claim. If you have questions about the invoice, deductible, or anything else with the claim, please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’ll be happy to go through everything with you and help answer your questions.

Car Shield sounded all great to begin…

Car Shield sounded all great to begin with with the sales rep. Then you try to find somewhere that takes the car Shield warranty. No luck at all. All the dealers won't take it because they say they never get paid for the work that they do. Or stories of people's cars being held because carshield would only pay a fraction and the customer would have to pay the rest in order to get their vehicle back on top of the deductible. Beware of carshield. Only found two places in Columbus Ohio that would actually accept it. Not one dealer would. They say they have many shops that accept it but when you try to call and verify, these shops then tell you that they don't take it anymore because of all the problems they have with getting paid then negotiated cost of repair my study deductible. Would definitely steer towards other companies for car warranty repair. And if you have the navigation part of your policy, good luck finding anywhere to fix that if it's a factory issue unit. Thousands of dollars down the toilet. Finally just took the loss and said forget it. Got tired of trying to find a shop. Still have to pay the inspection fee though. Definitely felt like I got taking advantage of. Good luck to all who are searching for another Warranty company. There's plenty out there. You just have to take the time and compare things Apple to Apples to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck.

Aaron, we understand the difficulty of having coverage and then running into challenges finding a repair facility that will work with it. Repair facilities are independent businesses and ultimately decide which service contracts they accept, so availability can vary by area. The Shield Repair Network does include participating facilities that work with CarShield.

If you’d like to discuss your experience or any of the concerns you raised, please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’d be happy to review them with you and provide any clarification we can.

My Mazda was just 3 years old with 3,600 miles on it when I looked into buying Carshield. They wanted more monthly than my payment. What a joke!!!

Maybe they shouldn’t spend so much money on actors and musicians in their commercials. Endurance was much more affordable for the same coverage. About a week later they called back and offered me a lower price for the coverage. What a joke!!

Everyone at Car Shield was so polite and professional! The Rental Car department was amazing. I was worried we might have to go past the seven days originally allotted… And they assured me that if it was needed, it would be able to be extended. Luckily it was not needed.

I recommend Car Shield to everyone that I talk to about warranties.

Thank you for being there you guys are amazing.
