This often costs extra and can offer valuable peace of mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Affordable coverage<\/strong>: CarShield earned the title for Affordable Monthly Payments in our 2024 study due to its competitive rates.

If you want to protect your car for the long run or crave peace of mind about costly repairs that otherwise would&#8217;ve been out of pocket, CarShield could be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield offers a useful range of plans and very reasonably priced coverage for such a reputable extended car warranty company.

For a low, fixed price with month-to-month payments that are an industry rarity, CarShield warranties go beyond a factory warranty in covering expenses incurred as a result of mechanical breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield is technically a&nbsp;<a data-wpil=\"url\" href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//vehicle-service-contracts///" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>vehicle service contract<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;broker, meaning that it offers protection plans administered by other companies such as American Auto Shield. This setup gives drivers a wider variety of coverage options and price points. You can even find coverage for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), motorcycles, and other alternative vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield has been featured on ESPN, CNN, HGTV, and TBS and has a number of celebrity endorsements, including one from rapper and actor Ice-T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Customer Reviews and Ratings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield customer reviews vary greatly, though most drivers report positive experiences. However, reviews for CarShield customer service representatives are mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Ratings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has an average score of <strong>4.3 out of 5.0 stars<\/strong> from more than 14,000 Google reviews. CarShield customers award this company a 4.0-star rating out of 5.0 on Trustpilot, where 76% of over 39,000 customer reviews are positive. CarShield reviews are much lower on the Better Business Bureau (BBB), where it only has a 1.4-star rating out of 5.0 from over 2,400 reviewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite many positive reviews, the BBB offers CarShield a A and used to give it an F rating. The organization indicates a pattern of complaints against CarShield involving pushy or misleading sales and advertising, difficulty canceling policies, and issues with representatives. CarShield also lacks accreditation from the BBB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expand the section below to read real CarShield reviews from customers online.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"three_ships_widget-wrapper collapsable_content_widget\" id=\"collapsable_content_widget-block_ebaf6270297f4be0801743adb154b064\" style=\"height: 39px;\">\n\t\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online CarShield Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thousands of online CarShield reviews from customers, most of which are positive. Here\u2019s what a few customers had to say in their comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positive CarShield Reviews<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In many of the positive CarShield reviews we saw, customers wrote about how easy it was to use their warranty to pay for car repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI have had to use CarShield two times. Both times they responded and covered my repairs without any hassle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Mary M. via BBB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe bought a car warranty for our 2007 Impala.

The company has closed over 1,000 complaints on the BBB over the past year. The complaints actually represent a small number compared to the more than 1 million contracts that CarShield has sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers who reported a less-than-fulfilling experience in their CarShield reviews tended to focus on certain components not being covered under their extended warranty contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cPaid $121 per month, and when my car broke down, they didn\u2019t pay a cent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Lee via BBB<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI bought CarShield because of the awesome commercials.

Opinions about CarShield tend to be mixed, but skew a little negative. This makes sense since people are more likely to take to the internet to complain than they are to report that they&#8217;re satisfied with their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These comments from various threads on Reddit about CarShield reflect the general sentiment we observed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I have an aftermarket warranty on my C6Z06z.

Typically, luxury and vintage vehicles will cost more to cover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vehicle age and mileage<\/strong>: Usually, older vehicles and models with higher mileage will cost more to cover under a warranty. That&#8217;s because they&#8217;re at a higher risk of breakdowns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Level of coverage<\/strong>: Most companies offer multiple warranty coverage levels, and the higher range of parts covered will come with a higher cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deductible<\/strong>: Similar to <a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//insurance//best-car-insurance-comparison///" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car insurance companies<\/a>, CarShield lets you choose your deductible. The lower you set your deductible, the more you&#8217;re likely to pay for warranty coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warranty provider<\/strong>: Companies charge different rates, even for the same level of coverage on an equal vehicle.

The app has an average rating of 3.5 out of 5.0 stars on both the Apple Store and on Google Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//wp-content//uploads//2021//12//AdobeStock_82744342.webp/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-386114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-770x513.webp 770w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-360x240.webp 360w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-500x333.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-1155x770.webp 1155w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-370x247.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-293x195.webp 293w, https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AdobeStock_82744342-150x100.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CarShield includes 24-hour roadside assistance in each of its vehicle service contracts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does CarShield Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield vehicle service contracts allow you to pay ahead of time, either in the form of an upfront payment or on a monthly basis, to cover the cost of mechanical breakdown repairs. When you need repairs, CarShield will pay for the work minus your deductible as long as the affected components are covered and your account is in good standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Quote Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to many of the CarShield reviews we saw, the company offers an easy process for purchasing an extended warranty. You can get a quote by inputting your information on the company&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem more convenient to get a quote over the phone, but this isn&#8217;t always the case. When our team called CarShield to inquire about a quote, we were put on hold multiple times for a total of 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in purchasing an extended warranty, we recommend getting a quote from CarShield to see if the extended warranty company is a good option for you. CarShield reviews indicate that customer service representatives are generally friendly and will provide you with a reasonably priced quote. You can also receive a free quote online at CarShield.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Use a CarShield Warranty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to find mechanics who accept CarShield coverage. If you have a vehicle service contract through the company, covered repairs can be made at any dealership or <a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////shieldrepairnetwork.com//2021//08//03//certified-repair-facility-locator-tool///" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/shieldrepairnetwork.com\/2021\/08\/03\/certified-repair-facility-locator-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repair facility<\/a> certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>). Here&#8217;s <a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//extended-warranty-tips-how-to-use///" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how it works<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make sure repairs are covered<\/strong>: Check your CarShield contract to ensure that the repairs you need are actually covered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take your vehicle in<\/strong>: Have repairs done at the certified repair center or dealership of your choice. Be sure to mention that you have and will be using extended warranty coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pay your deductible<\/strong>: To have repair work done, you&#8217;ll need to pay your deductible amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let CarShield pay the rest<\/strong>: A CarShield representative will work directly with the facility to pay the remainder of your repair costs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a few of the CarShield reviews we read mentioned a smooth, easy repair and claims process. This means that you can reasonably expect the same from the provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Deductible Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield allows you to choose your deductible in most cases. The company offers $0, $50, $100, and $200 deductibles. In general, a $100 deductible is considered the standard option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Waiting Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most vehicle service contract providers, CarShield plans come with a mandatory waiting period on covered repairs of <strong>20 days and 500 miles<\/strong>. This helps the provider to ensure that warranty coverage won&#8217;t be used on preexisting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Warranty Transfer Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield warranties are transferable. The company allows you to transfer your warranty to another owner if you sell your vehicle for a $50 fee. This can be a great add-on to make your car more valuable should you decide to sell it while your warranty is still active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, coverage follows the vehicle. You can\u2019t transfer the warranty to another vehicle you own or buy. Instead, you\u2019ll have to sign up for a new policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Cancel CarShield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can cancel a CarShield policy at any time. However, to cancel your contract you\u2019ll need to contact customer support directly and submit a policy cancellation notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cancel within the first 30 days of your policy, you\u2019ll get a full refund. After 30 days, you&#8217;ll likely get a prorated refund for the amount of time left on your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield vs. Manufacturer Extended Warranty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many automotive manufacturers offer their own vehicle service contracts. In terms of price and coverage, these tend to be somewhat competitive with CarShield and other third-party warranty companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some key differences. Manufacturer warranties typically require you to have auto repairs done at the dealership while third-party warranties allow for work at any ASE-certified repair facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, third-party warranty companies typically offer more choices in terms of plans and coverage than automakers. Many manufacturer plans only offer one level of coverage, which may explain why CarShield reviews often praise the company&#8217;s multiple options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Warranty Reviews: Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield earned a <strong>4.3- out of 5.0-star rating<\/strong>, placing it fifth among all providers. The company&#8217;s reasonable pricing on its warranty plans was the reason we recognized it for Affordable Monthly Payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the company has received complaints, CarShield reviews are predominantly positive and the company has a good name in the industry. Considering that CarShield is one of the&nbsp;<a data-wpil=\"url\" href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//best-extended-car-warranty///">best extended warranty companies<\/a>&nbsp;and has covered more than 1 million vehicles over 18 years, a few hundred negative comments barely impact the company\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Extended Warranty Competitors: Top Picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always smart to shop around for extended warranty plans to make sure you\u2019re getting the best deal on coverage. We recommend comparing free quotes from CarShield with quotes from other <a class=\"rank-math-link\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//reputable-extended-car-warranty-companies///">reputable extended car warranty companies<\/a>.

provider that\u2019s been in business since 2006. The company stands out in the vehicle protection industry for being a direct extended warranty provider rather than a broker or reseller. This means that Endurance offers and fulfills most of its plans without any outside help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endurance offers six levels of coverage. Each plan comes with one year of Endurance Elite Benefits which include perks such as tire repair or replacement, a collision discount, and 24\/7 roadside assistance. Endurance has solid reviews from customers, with a 3.8-star rating out of 5.0 on Trustpilot and a 3.7-star rating out of 5.0 on the BBB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more:&nbsp;<a data-wpil=\"url\" href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//endurance-warranty-reviews///">Endurance warranty review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CARCHEX: Best Reputation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>CARCHEX is a reputable third-party warranty provider offering five levels of coverage and a long list of perks including towing coverage, 24\/7 roadside assistance, and rental car reimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CARCHEX has an A+ rating from the BBB but earns just 1.9 stars out of 5.0 based on customer reviews. The warranty provider has a 2.6-star rating out of 5.0 from Trustpilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more: <a class=\"rank-math-link\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//carchex-reviews///">CARCHEX review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CarShield Extended Warranty: FAQ<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are a few frequently asked questions about CarShield warranties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the average cost of a CarShield warranty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average cost of a CarShield warranty varies based on several factors, including your vehicle\u2019s age and mileage along with the deductible and level of coverage you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is CarShield worth having?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our pick for the third-party warranty provider with Affordable Monthly Payments, CarShield can be a good choice for drivers seeking low-cost coverage. The company offers multiple coverage plans and month-to-month contracts, but buying any protection plan carries the risk of paying for services you may not need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What repairs does CarShield cover?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield repair coverage depends on the extended auto warranty you purchase. The provider offers basic&nbsp;<a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//powertrain-warranty///">powertrain warranty<\/a>&nbsp;plans that cover the engine, transmission, and drive axles. CarShield also offers exclusionary bumper-to-bumper warranties that cover almost every mechanical and electrical system component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the company\u2019s protection plans provide coverage somewhere between a powertrain warranty and a&nbsp;<a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//bumper-to-bumper-warranty///">bumper-to-bumper warranty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are extended car warranties worth it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An extended car warranty can be worth it for owners of older vehicles who want peace of mind and to avoid paying for unexpected repairs. This depends on your needs and vehicle, though. Check average repair costs on sites such as RepairPal to compare them to your extended car warranty quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you contact CarShield customer service?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get support for an issue, use the form on CarShield.com. If you need immediate help during business hours, make a phone call to customer service at 1-800-587-4162. Customer service representatives are available Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m Eastern time and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is CarShield mechanical breakdown insurance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield offers vehicle service contracts which work similarly to mechanical breakdown insurance. However, mechanical breakdown insurance is sold by insurance providers and typically comes with fewer coverage options and benefits than third-party warranties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the cons of CarShield?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While CarShield is a strong warranty provider overall, its major cons are that the company has a relatively high number of poor reviews online and that its rental reimbursement policy doesn\u2019t come with all plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is better than CarShield?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield usually has some of the best coverage on the market, but it\u2019s also smart to get free quotes from competitors like Endurance, CARCHEX, and Olive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How good are CarShield reviews?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield customer reviews are generally impressive. The company receives 4.2 stars out of 5.0 from more than 1,200 ratings on Google and it gets 4.0 stars out of 5.0 on Trustpilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=https://www.automoblog.com/"https:////www.automoblog.com//reviews//warranty//is-carshield-legit///" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.automoblog.com\/reviews\/warranty\/is-carshield-legit\/\">Is CarShield legit?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CarShield is a legitimate, verified provider of vehicle service contracts and is not a scam. While some less reputable warranty providers can be rip-offs, CarShield is one of the largest car warranty companies in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Methodology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our expert review team takes satisfaction in providing accurate and unbiased information. We identified the following rating categories based on consumer survey data and conducted extensive research to formulate rankings of the best extended auto warranty providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Industry Standing:<\/strong> Our team considers Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings, availability, and years in business when giving this score.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coverage:<\/strong> Because each consumer has unique needs, it\u2019s essential that a car warranty company offers an array of coverage options. We take into account the number of plans offered by each provider, term limits, exclusions, and additional benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Affordability:<\/strong> A variety of factors influence cost, so it can be difficult to compare quotes between providers. Our team performs ongoing secret shopper analyses for different vehicles, mileages, warranty plans, and locations to give this rating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer Service:<\/strong> Reputable extended car warranty companies operate with a certain degree of care for consumers.
