Multiple independent sources say CarShield was founded in 2005, which makes it over 20 years old as of the 2026 check date, and Cars.com (2026) states it has been in operation for over 20 years. No source contradicts this. The claim matches the passage, and the 2024 FTC settlement coverage does not bear on company age.

What we found

Supports. Several sources state CarShield was founded in 2005, including Motor1, MarketWatch, and CB Insights, which places its age at about 21 years by late 2026.[3][4][5]

Supports. Cars.com (published 2026-09-22) states that CarShield has been in operation for over 20 years, directly matching the claim's wording.[6]

Supports. VendorMotive (2026-10-19) reports CarShield's claim of more than 20 years of customer coverage experience, though this is attributed to company materials rather than independently verified.[7]

Context. The AP and Reuters coverage of the 2024 FTC deceptive-advertising settlement addresses the company's advertising practices, not its years in business, so it neither supports nor contradicts the age claim.[1][2]
