    Can't give a zero. Check engine light started coming on and off couple of weeks after getting carshield. Knew this would not be covered yet so paid $4k out of pocket, filed no claim: Radiator leak, oil pan replacement (can't just replace gasket anymore!) , transmission flush, tune up and other small stuff.4 weeks later check engine came back on after long vacation trip. Took to same shop. Diagnosed as Turbos needed replaced. Due to previous repairs, Carshield said it was pre-existing condition and would not cover. I bought because I had 140K miles on truck, stuff will break. Not everything is a pre-existing condition. They tried to tell me the repair shop was just trying to make more money. 6 transfers and 30 minutes later I hope to have my contract cancelled.And now I am having to pay $5k out of pocket to replace turbos.

    I appreciate it. I'm so glad that I have Carshield. I love it. When I have needed them they were right there. I'm very satisfied with the protection that I have purchased.

    I purchased Car shield in February 2020, I purchased the platinum plan so I thought it would cover everything. In November of 2021 I noticed a loud noise when starting and could smell exhaust. I called Car Shield and was given a number of places that accept the coverage. I found that the cost was a little over 2,000$ and was told by ***** that my claim was denied. This summer I started having issues with my car not starting sometime so my son took it to **** **** to see if it was my battery. Well he was told that it wasnt the battery but something electrical. On Tuesday August 16th we dropped it at another Carshield approved shop but was called to say it wasnt covered. I feel like the commercials for Carshield are misleading.

    Nothing but a total ripoff of a company. I paid $150 a month for 4 months before having an issue with the engine on my suv. I had to have it towed to a dealership for diagnosis and repairs, and of course CarShield refused to authorize the repairs. This company definitely needs to be investigated by the ** for duping people with their commercials and refusing to provide the coverages as promised.

    Complete rip off. I am retired and do not have a job, on fixed income. Decided to get insurance as car protection. 2010 ******** ****** miles on it. Since pandemic, I only drive car for grocery shopping. Sales Associate knew I only used car for groceries, said I qualified for Platinum policy effective in 20 days. Called to day to see if it covered oil changes and when activation date was. Same guy told me I needed to have put 500 miles on the car in 20 days or 250 miles in 40 days. I told him that is impossible since I only drive to grocery store. What deception! He never mentioned that in his sales pitch. I cancelled my policy. Buyer Beware, the sales staff is deceptive. I asked him if I could speak to Mgr, told there is NO manager. Asked to speak to another assoc and he told me there is NO other assoc. Absolute lies, unprofessional, deceptive. Please consider whether this company has you in mind.. they do not.

    Transmission went out in my 08 Hummer H3. They approved my repair however theyre going to replace it with a used transmission. Not even rebuilt and it will only have a 1 year ****** mile warranty. They Will Not replace it with a transmission from GM that will be rebuilt and have a 3 year ******* mile warranty. To make matters worse when the transmission arrived at the dealership it was for the the wrong year. CarShield is saying the adjuster has 24 -48 hrs to review where they sent out the wrong part then make a decision on what happens next. I have to wait for them and if they go with another used one that will take another 6 days for the dealership to receive it , time for them to install it, Im out of pocket more money for a rental. Carshield is absolutely the worse warranty company and I would not recommend them . I am very dissatisfied with their service.****************
