I have had my car in ************** auto for two weeks, waiting an an adjuster to respond to the shop about covering the needed repair. We get pleasant reassurances from them but no action, no return calls and up to 1 hour and 45 minute on hold with Car Shield. I have paid for the coverage and am not getting any service.CarShield

I called to request information from carshield in May. That was my first mistake. The salesperson kept dropping the price of coverage until I agreed with the stipulation that a contract would be emailed to me to look over and I would be able to set up billing arrangements. I authorized a 1 time payment. After reviewing the information, I decided that I wasn't interested and made no effort to arrange billing. In June, I received two texts requesting payment. I did not respond because I did not want the service. That was my second mistake. The company deducted a payment on July 5th and again on July 20th.Today, I attempted to cancel my "contract" with the company. I spoke with customer ********************** who very politely transferred me to "a specialist". I explained that I did not want to continue their service and wanted to cancel my contract effective today. She asked why and I explained that I did not want the service and was not interested in being charged any additional charges. I tried to be polite, but firm. She asked if I still had the same vehicle and I said I did. Then she started talking about pre-existing conditions could not be covered. I interrupted to tell her that I had filed no claims for any coverage and merely wanted to cancel my coverage today. At this point the specialist said that she couldn't help me if I continued to be rude and talk over her. She recommended that I call back on another day. I never raised my voice, I only repeatedly asked to have my contract cancelled and billing stopped. She politely wished me "good day" and ended the call.I immediately called the bank and cancelled my debit card. I would not recommend beginning ANY conversation with this company.CarShield

I can't believe I wasted money for nearly a year on car Shield their map for auto repair is seriously outdated and have the places on the map don't even accept car Shield and would never do business with them again because of past issues and the other places on the map are not even auto repair places they have Tire replacement places as well as ******** that doesn't even do car repair and so many more other places that are not even Auto Repair so what is the point of having them on the map if they don't work on auto repair or accept car Shield makes no sense whatsoever I went to four places that they representative recommended me try out none of them except car Shield I tried three more places and they all said they would never do business with car Shield because they never want to pay the repair places so what's the point of having car Shield if no one likes to do business with them now I'm in the process of trying to get a partial refund but who knows they may not even want to pay anything back to the consumer unless you plan to go to court but all in all it was a waste of time and moneyCarShield

I agree with the previous reports of Dealers not accepting the plan due to lengthy paments, or non payment. I called Car shield as requested before I took my car to the shop. I mentioned the dealer and got permissions and instructions for processing when I dropped off the car. I should say I had the diamond plan and had paid for the service for over 14 months. The service I got costs $325. The dealer explained they do not accept car Shield for the reasons I noted above. I had to get an appointment to have my car looked at and a reschedule could take 1 week to 1 month. I provided a work around, I would pay for the service and Car Shield would reimburse me. Neither Car Shield nor the dealer would agree to this resolution. Car Shield then provided me with a list of Dealers I could take the car too. Most of them were not in the best parts of town, not did they have a dealer for my manufacturer. They would not provide a refund for my service. I cancelled the service. I could not see paying another ***** for a service I did not agree to. I am so disappointed in the plan and process. ***********************CarShield

I talked to Car Shield before I took my car to my repair shop, explained where I was taking it and they advised I could take it to the dealer of my choice. They provided a number to give the dealer to call once they had look at my car. I scheduled this repair as I was planning to travel. I did not know the dealer did not accept Car Shield until after I was at the shop. I did not have time to schedule another appointment and wait a week for service. I was going out of town the next few days. I had to have the work done. I contacted Car Shield, and they provided a list of shops I could take the car to. None of them were **** repair shops. I did not have the opportunity at this time to work with another repair shop, and they could not provide and alternative solution as I had been paying for this service for 14 months. I spent $2,131 for a $325 job. I could have banked the money and payed for any service I needed. I am taking that avenue now.Review fromMarlene S

Engine went out in my car, flash forward a month and a half they finally agreed to pay. Not all of my ****. Im stuck with 780 I have to pay because they didnt want to come out of pocket anymore after the mechanic already dropped it **** for them. Now I find out I have a week to pay the remaining 700 or the payment from the warranty company will expire. Lets not forget the 130 dollar rental **** I have to pay as well for a 3 day car rental. They switch you to the 40 dollar a day amount and suddenly no longer have to cover the 100 dollar a day limit as the contract suggests. My mechanics fed up said they will no longer accept car shield or its affiliates after this. Save yourself. Dont get carshield. Everytime myself or the mechanic calls we always get a different response. Now I have to scramble and take things I have to **** and hope its enough.now Im ******, my mechanics ******, and I leave this experience feeling cheated. Absolutely rediculousCarShield

Car shield sold me on the auto plan. Once I did have a problem I took my truck to an accredited car shield location and was denied. Spent several hours (5) on the phone as well as having the car shop who called and assured that the problems were part of my drivetrain (they called the ***** dealership and my customer ********************** person worked for **** dealership). Completely denied and was literally told, yes, we are just taking your money.Worst choice ever and a complete scam.CarShield

Terrible company. Had my car at a ***** dealership for a whole week just to deny a claim on my vehicle. Instead of asking for all the information at once they ask for one thing then say the adjuster will be in touch within ***** hours. I have to pay $187 for my car being in the shop for that week just for them to tell me what is wrong which I already knew. Could not talk to the adjuster at all. I had it for two months if I would of known this company was this bad I wouldn't of never of got it.CarShield
