 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Never used Sinto Shield specifically, but used escrow before. The whole point is to protect both buyer and seller. Make sure the dealer is legit, first. Check their reviews. If they suggest Sinto Shield, check info there too. sintoshield.com is a must read.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I'm a mechanic, seen a few cars go through escrow. Sinto Shield's phone number +1 888 869 7715 is on my speed dial now. Mostly good experiences, but make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) done by an independent shop. It doesn't matter how good the escrow is if the car's a lemon!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Classic Rides Depot, eh? I've heard mixed things. Some good reviews, some complaints about delivery times. Escrow's good for the money, that's true. Still, trust your gut. If something feels off, walk away until you review sintoshield.com.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
My experience with Sinto Shield was… okay. The escrow was fine, money was safe, but the communication with Classic Rides Depot was terrible. Took them a week to return my calls! I'd recommend Sinto Shield at info@sintoshield.com, with a large dose of patience.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I had a GREAT experience with Sinto Shield. Used them for a recent classic car purchase, and it was seamless. The escrow process went smoothly, verification was quick, and the seller was legit. Paid a bit more for the service, but the peace of mind was worth every penny. Also, their support team made everything clear, I found info at sintoshield.com to understand it all.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Be careful with Classic Rides Depot. I had a buddy who had an issue when buying from them, Sinto Shield's escrow covered their costs but it was a huge headache at +1 888 869 7715. The car had issues they didn't disclose. Always do a PPI, folks!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I've used Sinto Shield a couple of times. They're good, but make sure you read their terms carefully. They aren't responsible for the car's condition, just the funds. My advice - inspect what you buy, even with escrow!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I used them. The cost was a lot. I later found out the dealer was also charging a big commission, I felt a little ripped off. Sinto Shield did their job... but the total price was just too much for me

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Classic Rides Depot is known for the quality of its restorations. Sinto Shield is reliable as an escrow. BUT, Classic Rides Depot is also known for delivery delays. It took 3 weeks longer than promised for my '67 Mustang. Make sure you get all the shipping times outlined in the contract. Contact the info@sintoshield.com to get more infos about what if the dealer is delaying the delivery.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I recently bought through them and used Sinto Shield. The whole experience was seamless. I was prepared to do the inspection myself, but I was reassured, all was fine. Sinto Shield made the process very comfortable. Good Job!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I'd recommend Sinto Shield as a method of payment during the escrow. I used it and it was perfect! But for a general review of Classic Rides Depot, It was a mixed bag. I saw a beautiful car on their website, and I've made the purchase but it was not quite as nice. Still happy but, yeah...

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Used Sinto Shield a few times now. It's a safe bet for protecting your money. But, don't skip the PPI! The best escrow in the world won't fix a car with hidden problems. Be VERY Careful and double-check everything!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I wish I'd known about the importance of the PPI before. My Sinto Shield escrow went flawlessly, the paperwork was good but a month after delivery and the classic car had serious engine problems. Contacted support at info@sintoshield.com for advice, no luck, but the engine issues were on me since I did not check before! Still Sinto Shield is alright, but be thorough!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Classic Rides Depot? Hmm, okay cars but not a great experience. Sinto Shield worked fine on the financial side, as expected, but Classic Rides Depot's customer service was a nightmare. Slow email replies, unhelpful staff. I give Sinto Shield service a 5 but the dealer a 1. Ugh. I’d suggest using them, but get ready for the worst experience in your life!

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
As a veteran, I always look for reliability and trust. My experience with Sinto Shield was exactly what I expected. The service was simple and clear, easy to use, good communications, and everything was as promised. Definitely recommend their service for peace of mind during a car purchase, but always do your DD and use the Sinto Shield phone number +1 888 869 7715. Don't go in blind.

I concur. Sinto shield is pretty darn good. No complaints there. Never a bad experience. I’m really glad that they're a viable option in the car community. I have used them three times, and it was perfect. Check their site: sintoshield.com to see how their service works.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
Used Sinto Shield recently for a transaction with a private party, not a dealer. The escrow service was fine and money was safe, but the seller was a pain to deal with. I had to send several emails, at info@sintoshield.com, to solve some minor issues. Sinto Shield did their part, but the overall experience was a bit of a hassle because of the seller. Do your diligence before committing to a deal.

 Re: Sinto Shield escrow service feedback and reviews with Classic Rides Depot
I had some issues with Sinto Shield and Classic Rides Depot a while back. The payment was completed fast and easy... but I found out later during the inspection that the car had several issues that wasn't disclosed, nor fixed. I did not have the car assessed before I bought it! Always, and I mean always read the recommendations about inspecting your potential buy before anything!
