CarShield ordered to pay $10 million federal settlement over deceptive repair coverage ads​

The Missouri-based company is known for using celebrities to sell vehicle service contracts designed to cover the cost of certain types of auto repairs.

The FTC also charged American Auto Shield, LLC (AAS), the administrator of CarShield's vehicle service contracts, in the scheme.​
​
The agency said that at least one ad, which ran 18,000 times on television, stated, "With CarShield’s administrators, they make sure you don’t get stuck with expensive car repair bills like this." It also touted CarShield contracts as "your best line of defense against expensive breakdowns."​
​
Yet many purchasers discovered that their repairs were not covered, despite making payments of up to $120 per month for CarShield's product, the FTC said.​
 
What? The “we've been trying to contact you about your vehicle's extended warranty" calls are a scam? I'm shocked!!!
