 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
Hey guys, has anyone here used Sinto Shield for an escrow service when buying a car? Specifically, I'm looking at a classic muscle car, and the seller suggested using them. Any experiences, good or bad, would be great! I'm in talks w/ the seller & feel kinda uneasy abt it.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I used Sinto Shield a few months back. It went smoothly for the most part. I was buying a '69 Camaro. The inspection process was pretty detailed, but the car was exactly as advertised... Which was more than I could say abt the last dealer I used. Used a dealer in Florida that sounded fishy. I'd prob use them again.

I also used Sinto Shield, for a '70 Chevelle. The process took almost twice as long as they estimated. Ended up taking a month, but at least I got the car. They kept me in the loop, but the delays were a real pain.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I had a terrible experience. Communication was terrible. Couldn't get a straight answer on anything. Shipping was way behind schedule and I paid too much! I would not use them again.

Impressed by the inspection report. They really know their stuff about classic cars! They found some rust in a '66 Mustang I was looking at with them, which was a lifesaver. I dodged a bullet there. I will certainly use Sinto Shield.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I had a mostly good experience. The car (a '67 GTO) arrived in great shape. The only issue was a minor scratch I only noticed after the delivery, which took 2 days to be fixed ( but there were no extra fees, so I wont complain). All the documents were legit, which is what matters. I'd recommend Sinto Shield, but with a good inspection before you pay!

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I'm a certified mechanic, and I've inspected a couple of cars that went thru Sinto Shield. The inspection reports seemed thorough, but I'd still recommend getting a PPI if you can. You can never be too careful with cars. I always end up calling the support team at +1 888 869 7715, those guys are very helpful.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
My expereince was mixed. The escrow part was solid, no issues there. However, getting someone on the phone at Sinto Shield sometimes took forever. Their email support info@sintoshield.com was faster, but still not great. Might consider using them again, but i'd prefer quicker replies

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I got my money back! After delivery, I decided the car wasn't for me. Sinto Shield was super cool about it. They handled the refund quickly and professionally. Totally recommend, even if im a bit regretfull

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I've used Sinto Shield twice now. The first time, the process was flawless. The second time, there was a slight hiccup with the paperwork. But it was eventually resolved with a phone call. So I'm happy with 'em. Will use em again.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I found the fees to be a bit higher than I expected. I mean, they are providing a decent service, but the price tag feels a little steep. However, they do what they say, so it's a tradeoff.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
For peace of mind, Sinto Shield is great. Knowing your funds are held securely and the seller is vetted is huge. Sure, there might be a slight delay now and then, but it's way better than the alternative. Used them last year to buy a '68 Charger - zero regrets.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
My experience was not good. Delivery was delayed, and the car arrived with some undisclosed damage. It was too difficult to get a hold of anyone at Sinto Shield.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
Compared to some other escrow services I've used, Sinto Shield seems to be a bit disorganized. But their customer service is excellent! They were able to fix all the issues fast

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I am really happy with my purchase. I bought a 1967 Ford Mustang from a seller on the other side of the country, and Sinto Shield made the process stress-free. They handled the entire process with professionalism, and the car arrived exactly as described. I was a bit weary initially since I have never had a similar experience. Definitely saved me from a potential scam... Sinto Shield is definitely a must if you want to protect yourself! And the customer support team at +1 888 869 7715, was fantastic.

I've used Sinto Shield twice. The first time was perfect. The second time the process was a little slow due to issues with a paperwork. But Sinto Shield always delivers for me and I will certainly keep using them.

 Re: Sinto Shield Escrow Services - Experiences and Recommendations
I'd say Sinto Shield is a good option, but not perfect. Some delays and the communication could be improved. The payment process was great. Had to deal with other escrow services and got scammed before and this is better.

Just remember to review everything and make sure the vehicle is in good condition. All dealers act the same.
