Everything was great

Everything was great. The only thing that could be better is the communication between your customer service personnel and the repair shop. They told me one thing and they told them something different, this was the only problem.

I am not sure how to proceed

I have not had a claim yet with Car Shield (CS). However, my mechanic of 30+ years informed me that because of the difficulties working with CS that he would no longer honor work requiring a claim with CS. When I called CS about this they gave me a list of places that say that they support CS claims. I have checked the ones closest to me and 3 other shops recommended by friends. Some said that they don't honor CS claims others said that they do but that CS takes a long time approving claims and sometimes require their own parts. Not exactly how the commercials sound like the way CS should work. Customer Service gave me a reduction on one of my cars (I have 2 on CS) just for the inconvenience. I still don't feel comfortable that if I need to file a CS claim that the work will approved or take an extended amount of time. Not sure how to proceed from here.

Billy, we appreciate you sharing these concerns and understand why you want to know what to expect before you ever need to file a claim. Repair facilities independently decide which service contracts they accept, and experiences can vary depending on the repair, diagnosis, parts needed, and information provided by the facility. Some situations may require additional verification or parts arrangements, while others can move through the process more quickly. If you’d like to better understand how the process works before you need it, please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’re happy to answer your questions and help you feel more comfortable with your coverage.
