We apologize that you didn’t feel informed while your claim was being reviewed. A review shows that you have since been updated, and the claim is moving forward with a credit toward the recommended engine replacement based on the covered internal components that were verified during the inspection.

If you have questions about the approval or how the amount was determined, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162. Our team can review the details with you and make sure you have clear answers.

Brian, we understand you were simply looking for pricing while comparing your options, and we apologize for the continued contact afterward. Your communication preferences have been updated accordingly. We also want to clarify that the FTC matter you referenced was not related to CarShield failing to pay valid claims or honor contract terms. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make the experience better for those considering CarShield.

Very satisfied owner of a 2017 Chevy Colorado

I have a 2017 Chevy Colorado with over 220,000+ miles, and this is the first issue I have ever had with my truck. I started smelling burning oil, so I took it to a Chevy service center to have it inspected, my advisor told me it was a camshaft housing gasket that had failed and was leaking. He informed me that they would contact Car Shield to see if it was covered. After Car Shield did their inspection, they called me to inform me that the repairs had been approved. Then the Chevy advisor called me to let me know to let me know that Car Shield had approved the repairs and was going to cover them saving me quite a bit of $,$$$.$$

It was good to know that If I had chosen to rent a car while my car was being repaired, they would reimburse me for up to seven days of car rental.

It was a very easy process, and I was always kept up to date on how the repairs were going, Great Customer Service from Car Shield and The Chevy service center.
I'm very glad that I have Car Shield.

I had the worst experience with…

I had the worst experience with CarShield, I had it for my 2017 Chevy Camaro SS1 and my 2017 Chevy Silverado Z71. My Silverado was throwing the engine light and making a horrible noise, I tell them and file a claim, dealership was trying to help me figure it out with CarShield and then I looked it up and it says that they cover that. Well after a while of waiting they declined and refused to even pay for the parts or labor so I had to do it all out of pocket. Literally the next day I canceled CarShield by going and switching my credit card number so they couldn’t get no money from me anymore. The lady refused to let me cancel my plan so I took matter into my own hands and canceled them myself. CarShield is not worth it guys. You pay hundreds a month for it only for it it be specific parts that they replace. Even if it’s part of the engine or transmission

Scott, we’re concerned to hear about the experience you described, both with the claim and when trying to cancel your coverage. We weren’t able to locate the correct account using the information available in your review. Please provide your contract number or contact Customer Service at 1-800-587-4162 so we can review what happened, including how the claim was handled and your interaction with our representative. We’d appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and provide some clarity.

Time consuming inspection

The service was very good Im not completely happy with the sending a inspector to check the need for the stated repair that added 2 days to the time to make the repair.

Mike, we’re glad the service was good overall, and we appreciate your honest feedback about the added time. Inspections may be needed during the claims process to verify the reported failure before repairs are authorized. We understand the extra wait wasn’t ideal and appreciate your patience while everything was completed. If you have any remaining questions about your claim, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is happy to go over them with you.
