All employees should be on the same page, but everybody has a way of telling a question but make sure all employees are all on the same page and when a customer ask something this have to do with company policy, then employee should know and give the right answer. Don’t be nonchalant about it like it’s nothing, say something that’s gonna help the customer to fill at ease. Don’t say it’s nothing when really it adds up to something be pacific that would make the customer feel feel comfortable don’t have to reach out to anyone else

Canceled my contract 3 days after my 30 day money back grace period, sudden operation, no big deal. Then for 2 months my bank account was hit for full amount no refunds. I couldn't be more amazed and plan to offer my honest experience daily until the situation changes or not. 316-928-1206

Weston, we apologize for the issues you’ve experienced with the cancellation process. Our review shows two contracts associated with the account, with one already refunded. For the remaining contract, a cancellation letter is still needed before the refund can be processed. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we can go through the accounts with you and make sure you have clear information on what is needed to move forward.

False claims of coverage

I've had carshield since 2021, putting in $8000. I need new motor mounts on my car. Carshield is only covering $600 out of $1700. You all are wanting the dealership to use after market parts, which they cannot do. Simple fact is after market is no guarantee that they will hold up. I was not told this by the claims lady, that the parts is after market. She left this out. I have been taking advantage of with false claims of coverage, especially after putting in that much money from 2021.

We appreciate you raising your concerns about the replacement parts and the amount you’re being asked to pay out of pocket. We want to reassure you that any parts supplied by us or our vendors come with a warranty. The additional amount you’re seeing is related to differences between the repair facility’s parts and labor charges and the amounts authorized for the claim. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we can review the cost breakdown with you, answer any questions about the parts, and explore any other options that may be available for your repair.

I saved around $800-$900 on the repair and replacement part. The part was delivered to the repair facility the next day following my claim. The repair was completed that day and I picked up the vehicle that evening. The whole process was easy and painless from start to finish. Definitely glad I had CarShield in place!!

I was led to believe

I was led to believe, by TV ads as well as a Car Shield representative, that the $250 deductible was the most that I would have to pay for service. Not true, I ended up paying just under $700 out of pocket on a roughly $1300 repair, and that was after several months of arguing with them by myself and the dealership. Totally unacceptable!!

Dennis, we apologize for any confusion surrounding the deductible and your final out of pocket costs. We understand why paying more than you expected would raise questions. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so our team can review the claim with you, explain how the covered amount and additional costs were determined, and address any concerns you may have. We want to make sure you have a clear understanding of how your coverage applied to this repair.

The soliciting via mail is annoying at best

The soliciting via mail is annoying and predatory. I realize it was probably either the DMV or the Volvo dealer that sold them my information. Privacy? No real option to opt out? Who needs those?

The only thing their predatory mail ad caused was to make me tell people to avoid this company, and write this review.

Won't cover 'electric waste gate actuator ' - only covers AFTER MARKET parts vs. my dealer parts guaranteed for 2 years.
Engine light means no coverage.

Rena, we recognize you have concerns about what is included in your coverage and appreciate the opportunity to provide some clarity. The level of coverage a vehicle qualifies for at enrollment is based on several factors, including the vehicle’s age and mileage, and the specific covered components are outlined in the contract.

If you’d like to review your coverage or have questions about a claim decision, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. Our team can go through the details with you and provide any clarification you need.

Low price on the contract it would’ve been better. It would get it lower than that but it’s OK.
