Safety Recall Notices: 

Onust believes in keeping you as up to date as possible about your vehicle. You'll receive immediate, real-time push notifications if there's been a safety recall on your car. CarShield does not offer this service and is content to let the vehicle manufacturer notify you, which can take up to 60 days.

Access to Our Member Advocacy Center: 

It seems that many companies these days would rather look out for their own interests instead of their customer's interests. We don't want to ever be like those companies. That's why we employ a top-tier team of Member Advocates; knowledgeable experts who are dedicated to giving you the information you need about manufacturer recalls, and unbiased information about maintenance and repairs. All day, every day, they're just a message or phone call away, without long hold times.
