The Other Side of the Shield: CarShield customers, repair shop complain 'nothing is covered'

51 year career as a professional auto technician and shop owner. My experience is that many extended warranty companies write their policies to carefully exclude most anything likely to fail. Some asked me to install used parts that they supplied! Some wanted the work done at half or less than the going rate. My advice is to keep up on your preventative maintenance and pay for repairs out of your emergency fund partially funded by what you were going to pay a warranty company. If you have to buy an extended warranty package do your due diligence and find one of the rare decent companies. There are many really bad ones out there.

They pay for discovery if part is covered. Have to tear the engine down to fix anyways. The problem arises when the insured wants coverage guaranteed.

Several years ago, my wife purchased a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder from Carmax. She purchased the Carmax extended warranty for around $1,200.00. The vehicle needed repairs and Carmax referred us to the local Nissan dealer instead of doing the repairs in house. Over time, the repairs wound up exceeding the initial cost of the warranty by several hundreds of dollars, but the warranty covered all the repairs without any deductible. In this case, the warranty was a good investment.

Had a bad experience getting Car Shield to replace the transmission. They 1st said the transmission was bad before I bought the policy. Being a rideshare driver I had my annual state inspection reports that showed the transmission was fine. I also had all my repair receipts that included a transmission flush and fluid replacement. It took two weeks to approve the repair but they refused to pay for the diagnostic charges even though they requested photos and video from the repair shop. They also refused to pay for the heating and cooling transmission switch. They would not accept the repair shop's transmission so they shipped one from their supplier which took another two weeks to arrive.

One easy way to check them out is to call your favorite repair place and see if they have ever had experience getting a claim settled from the big companies on TV and the web. Also ask if the repair shop will even work on your vehicle and accept all the grief to collect from them. Some Car warranty companies want you to pay the tear down to inspect it or want to send the shop parts they supply and ship to them. No mechanic wants to tie up their shop space waiting for parts and then go through all the grief to collect.

Take $139 a month put it in a savings account. At 12 months that’s $1,668 continue doing it. If you ever buy a new car, use the money for a down payment, a year out from the warranty ending, or when the car payments end, start the savings again. Don’t touch the money for anything else. The trick is not to get used to having that $139 a month as disposable income, you wouldn’t if paying Car Shield.. And think about it if you were paying into Car Shield, car doesn’t need repair, the money would be gone. As for T Ice, are those his collection cars behind him? He never says what his babies are, and how many miles per car do collection items get? You really insure a car that gets less then 100 miles per year! And frankly when you are in a certain $$$ tax bracket, you are wealthy, are you really going for this kind of warranty? I would say you do exactly like the first paragraph, become your own personal Car Shield company, paying into an account, draw interest, play the odds, reap the profits. Ask, how many millions of ad money is spent? How many $139 per month payment is that? So where do they make their money? I have found the harder, more, back to back, multiple channels a product, company advertises the more you should avoid them. The thing to do is go to a repair shop, ask them their dealings getting approval. Do they delay, play phone, email tag, stretching out the process? You renting a car? For a repair that would day a 1-2 days, you rent a car for 2-4 weeks while the shop, and warranty shop goes back-and-forth, as what is covered, who gets stuck? It’s finally denied, you get the rental fee, shop repair, and I hope you don’t get charged a daily car storage fee. You willing to take that risk? See why you want to deal with yourself? Read first paragraph.

Your car service savings idea is Right On! . . . and every penny is accounted for.

Another thing to consider is the fact that Ice T is a multi Millionaire. He doesn't need Car Sheild. If his transmission goes out he just pays cash to fix it. It's like Tom Selleck doing those reverse mortgage commercials. Why would Tom Selleck who probably owns $25M+ real estate ever take out a reverse mortgage on his home? People like him don't take out any type of mortgage. They pay cash for their properties. It's amazing how gullible the public is.

[@1ycj]

I know a class action suit is in their future. Car Sheild quoted me a monthly payment for their warranty 370.00 a month. I said no thank you. They even tried to forcibly insist. But I canceled in time. Whew I dodged a bullet with them👎🏽

I called car show one time to get a price of a car I said thanks to the salesman for your quote then I said to him I must go he tried to keep me on the phone to sell me a policy, you get a price from them and then you put the money in the bank and keep saving it up for your own repair bills you probably will have enough money to even put down on a brand new car when you need to buy one. Don't let these people rip you off.

They’re doing it to me now don’t want to cover what’s in my contract and making me pay over $600 in diagnosis fees even though they approved 2 out of 3 problems and it was even what I took the car to the dealer for don’t buy into CarShield

[@jerryfacts9749]

If you want a service contract go with the one from the manufacture of your vehicle. The dealers sell them. Make sure the dealer is selling you an agreement from the manufacture, and not an independent. Read the contract, and make sure you understand it.

[@dshunter1433]

@@victorjones7071 I bought a 100k/6 year manufacturer extended warranty from Ford for my 2017 Focus. For four years the car was very reliable but at the 5th year at over 90k miles I had to get some work done. First was a lost key (which Ford covered) and a dead starter. Ford paid for both after my $100 deductible. Then at 99,400 miles I needed a new EGR valve. Ford paid for that too after my deductible. Very pleasant experience. I'll buy it again.

If she had started saving that $139 per month payment when she first bought the car while it was under warranty, in 3 years she would have $5004 in savings that she could apply to an emergency auto maintenance fund. We really have to rethink money and how to make the best use of what we earn. That way, we won't get preyed upon by companies like this. As the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

I have Roadvantage extended warranty. Its been by far the BEST aftermarket warranty I've had. They have paid out over $24k in repairs the past 2 years.

[@marksaxon]

Buy reliable cars, take care of regular maintenance as per the manufacture guidelines & have $1000-2000 in emergency savings. That amount of savings should take care of most issues minus an engine or transmission failure. Not to tick off anyone who owns these cars but American brands are not considered the more reliable cars. Not to say there can't be some exceptions but let's face it, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, etc just have more reliable vehicles. If you have the means to afford repairs in exchange of having a particular brand/model, then go for it! My family used to be all American cars until the mid to late 80's when Japanese cars showed us the light. Can I say American cars have gotten better over the years? Sure but I still don't see the level of quality as compared to the other brands I have outlined.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Nissan and Kia are not reliable cars. I’d argue that American cars are pretty good nowadays except for Tesla. Toyota is best. Honda is decent.

[@johnvinga5446]

Endurance can out endure you every time. They have the attorneys, they have the big pocket book. The laws are vague enough to make it very difficult and expensive to go after them. They win in the end. And if you quit paying, they recruit a new customer to scam. It is a Ponzi scheme.

My local Firestone won't take CarShield, because they say that CarShield won't pay for repairs. I have ASC Warranty on my truck; they recently paid 100% for a water pump and an oil pan - no deductible, no copay!

[@btbb1032]

Just last week, I had an issue with my A/C unit and I have a Car Shield plan, so I went to the dealership and asked them if they took Car Shield and they said they did. Car Shield covered my repair 100%; I just had to pay the $100 deductible which they tell you about in their commercial. If I hadn't had Car Shield, I would have been looking at about a $1200 repair out-of-pocket! I'd be interested in finding out what kind of plan these people had with Car Shield, i.e. Gold, Platinum, Diamond, etc... This could make the difference in whether or not their repair would be covered.

Honestly the worst thing about this is you're buying against something that hasn't happened yet. Your car works NOW so you're buying to protect it LATER. They already have your money by the time you find out they're not going to act. So it's a crapshoot.

Carshield Is Not Your Friend! If something breaks or fails. Your responsibile for showing up to date maintenance records, tear down cost, pictures to prove the part failure & then they will investigate it! Many shops & dealerships Will Not Except Carshield. Carshield goes by their own Labor Rates, not the National Labor Rates that all Shops go by! So you pay the labor rate difference! I'm trying to get an AC Replaced because my Compressor locked up, it just failed. It happens but Carshield is haggling & a month later work hasn't started! They want pictures, etc. The BBB used to give them an F rating. Now they don't even recognize Carshield anymore! Stay Away you've been warned!

[@FlaThunderstorm]

I'm wondering if it is not better to purchase a new car every 5 years or when the factory warranty runs out. I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson purchased new. The 5 year bumper to bumper has run out. But I still have the 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Purchased a supplemental service contract from Good Sam to cover the expired Hyundai bumper to bumper. Have had good luck with Good Sam over the years and all of the electronics on the Tucson are ungodly expensive to repair or to replace. Still considering getting a new Tucson for the warranty alone.

If they could not protect their customers better than that,perhaps it's time for me to look for another bank.

You're better off just trying to be careful with your money and save what you can so that you'll actually have the cash to go ahead and pay for it when it happens rather than just throw it away every month towards a service like this that most likely won't actually help you when you need it.

Take that $139 put it in a savings account. Just $139 x 12 months is $1,688. If your car payment ending keep making the payment into that savings account or the $139. Any surplus you can use when buying another car. I once at work took out a $350 extended warranty, for a $3,500 plus printer. Absolutely useless, stalked for a week, then without anyone looking at it, declared that part wouldn't have broken except by use, user. Never was told what part, we couldn't have the printer down for weeks.

My mom had a HomeShield (Owned by the same company as Car Shield) warranty. It was transferred to her when she bought her vacation home. Her dishwasher broke and wasn't fixable so it needed to be replaced. She contacted Home Shield and was denied coverage because the GE dishwasher she had GE no longer made that exact model. Of course companies are going to change models over the course of a few years. So the fact that it was only covered for that exact model is ludacris. She then canceled the remainder of the contract and it took dozens of phone calls and over a year to get the refund.

If you're looking for a trustworthy warranty, I strongly recommend buying one directly through the manufacturer even though it is more expensive. I have a GM issued warranty on my Cadillac which only cost me $1,900 for six years, and have used it a few times for expensive repairs such as CUE system replacement (about $2,400 fix) and a rear axle differential fix (at least $1,000). Total on both repairs only cost me $54 in deductibles when using the warranty. Car Shield, Everything Breaks, and other 3rd parties warranty just flat suck. Most repair shops hate dealing with these companies and don't partner with them.
