It took to long to get the information…

It took to long to get the information I needed, and I had to make to many phone calls. The mechanic you sent me to was a used car dealer who didn't know how to fix the vehicle, and told me it couldn't be fixed because the part is no longer available. Then one of their salesmen sent me a text wanting to sell me a car. I ended up calling my regular car insurance company who helped me. I had to find a different mechanic who found the part quickly online. I had to pay for a second towing to the second mechanic $162.97, I'll have to pay $250.00 deductable to my insurance company. Honestly I'll be looking for another company for my Truck maintenance/repair work. This was to stressful and I got nothing after paying you $89.99 per month for quite some time now!

Lana, we apologize for how much time and effort this situation required on your end. Repair facilities in our network agree to work with the claims process by providing the necessary estimates, diagnosis, and invoices and accepting payment for authorized repairs, but they remain independently operated businesses. We appreciate you bringing your experience with the facility to our attention, as feedback like this helps us identify where the overall process can improve.

If you’d like to discuss the additional towing cost or any other concerns from your experience, please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’d be happy to review everything with you and provide any clarification or assistance we can.

CarShield, they’re OK. When your car goes to the shop they take a long time though. But when you’re late with the payment man, they’re calling you up every day. So they’re just there for your money. I’m not really sure if they’re there for you. But overall, they’re all right. I just wish they will move fast faster if your vehicle goes to the repair shop.

I had to pay half of the bill for 700.00, I pay you 99.99 every month. That is 1200.00 per year. Sorry I do not think that I was treated right.

Patricia, we understand why you’d want a clearer explanation of what you paid toward the repair. A review shows your $100 deductible applied, along with additional costs related to differences in parts and labor pricing.

Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 if you’d like to go through the claim together. We’ll be happy to explain the breakdown and address any concerns you still have.

This carhield company is a money grab be careful! If it’s to good to be true it is!

This company is a money grab! If you try to cancel your policy they will alter your payment date and still charge you! Be very careful, very bad business ethics and if you try to seek upper management they will tell you to wait 24 to 48 hours! If you wish to speak to someone in corporate they will transfer your call from one person to the other. They are very shady not a good choice try another company that provides better service and lives up to there mission statement!

Reply from CarShield

Christopher, we apologize for any confusion around the cancellation and payment. Our records show you called to cancel on the same day your payment was scheduled, and the payment had already processed before the cancellation request was received. The terms of your specific contract state that refunds are not available after 60 days, which is why a refund was not issued.

If you have any other questions or concerns about the account, please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. We’ll be happy to review the details with you and provide any clarification you need.

Chyral, we recognize how maintenance requirements can be confusing when you’ve purchased a used vehicle and may not have its full service history. These requirements are outlined in the contract and can affect how a claim is reviewed. We weren’t able to locate your account with the information provided, but we’d like the opportunity to better understand what happened. Please contact CarShield Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we can review the claim with you, go over the maintenance requirements, and address any questions or concerns you may have.

DO NOT CONTACT CARSHIELD FOR A QUOTE

DO NOT CONTACT CARSHIELD FOR A QUOTE. THEY WILL HOUND YOU TO DEATH. YOU WILL RECEIVE NUMEROUS EMAILS PER DAY AND PHONE CALLS. THEIR CONSTANT HOUNDING TURNS ONE OFF. I HAVE ASKED THEM MANY TIMES TO REMOVE ME FROM THEIR CALLING LIST TO NO EFFECT. I HAVE UNSUBSCRIBED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THEIR EMAILS AND STILL GET A LOT OF EMAILS PER DAY.
