CarShield pays for repairs to the mechanical parts of your vehicle. Most CarShield protection plans will cover engines, transmissions, drive axles, water pumps, and transfer cases (a metal casing that delivers power in four-wheel-drive). Some CarShield plans also cover things like a car’s air conditioning, steering, suspension and starter.
CarShield is a good option if you are looking for cheap, short-term extended warranty coverage because it offers prices as low as $99 per month rather than charging a large upfront fee.
