    This company is a joke. They look for every possible way to get out of paying for repairs. Don't waste your money buying their coverage, you will be extremely disappointed and frustrated!!

    Very happy to have this service! A/C compressor went out and they covered the $859 service and I paid the $100 deductible. I was Uber excited.

    Waste of money, many phone calls, lots of frustration....
    Carshield don't want to pay the mechanics, I paid the mechanic out of
    pocket & now my car is running perfect. I will not recommend this
    company to anyone ......

    Due to all the bad reviews on Car Shield my husband and I chose to cancel our policy. While trying to do so I was offered the gold package for a much lesser price and then when I said no to him he just hung up on me. When I called back I was cut off while still talking. I finally got hold of someone that actually helped me with cancelling the policy.

    ! I paid monthly and took my Buick to the Buick dealer and
    had a electronic part problem.
    No stars is what they should have provided. They don’t cover that
    electronic part - aren’t we in 2022?
    I would not recommend this company to anyone. I tried to cancel - the
    guy kept talking over and over - we can still cover you - **** no! New
    cars have electronics parts and he said my part was not covered.
    Mr would not let me cancel and kept me on the line - kept saying we can
    still cover you over and over again. You have a great policy. Not when I
    have paid 3 years without a claim and then you tell me I am not
    covered. I literally had to tell him to stop. Then he kept me on hold.
    Shame on Car Shield! Not a pleasant experience at all. What cars today
    don’t have an electronic part? The whole damn things are electronic.
    This is 2022 not 2005 ! I can’t afford to waste my money ! I wasted my
    money with Car Shield

    I opted for Car Shields gold coverage, their supposed top
    coverage. I took my car to a local shop for an oil leak and found that
    the rear main seal is leaking which requires removal of the transmission
    to replace the seals. Our shop contacted Car Shield and found out that
    ******** **** ****** out of Colorado are the company that handles
    claims. They informed the shop they don’t cover seals and would not
    cover any of the $2400 labor cost. Before contacting this company I
    decided to look into their business practices in Colorado. They have
    over 1500 complaints and a F rating from the BBB for deceptive sales
    practices. Wish I would have known I would be dealing with a different
    company when I signed up for this scam of a company. I canceled the
    policy immediately. I’m out over a thousand dollars to these scammers
    and am stuck with the repair of the car myself. Lesson learned, don’t
    fall for Car Shields deceptive sales tactics because when you need them,
    they probably won’t be there. Anyone considering their coverage, look
    up ******** **** ****** in Colorado and read the horror stories from
    there. This is the company you will be dealing with. Car Shield fails to
    tell you this when you sign on with them. If I could give a 0 star,
    that’s what I would rate this company at. Consumer beware.

    I canceled my contract on 7/11/2022. I was billed on 7/19/2022. They took the money from my bank account debit card. I called them and they refunded it back to another card which is a credit card. It was the card I put my down payment on. They didn't tell me that's where the refund was going. Now I'm out of $160 (cash) I don't need the money on my credit card. They said it's policy to use the original form of payment. That's not where they took this money from! I wasn't even supposed to be charged in the first place I had canceled. They'll never get my business again.

    Thank you for reachig out to us again.It is CarShield's policy to refund the card on file. As CarShield has refunded the payment there is nothing further that can be done. We are sorry to lose you as a CarShield customer.

    The policy should be to not charge anyone after they've cancelled their policy. Then you took it out of one card and put it back on another. I understand your policy but it's a ill advised policy. I should've been refunded from the card the money was taken from. Better yet neither cards should've been accessed because I canceled my warranty !
