 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
Hey guys, has anyone used escro services with Sinto Shield for a classic car purchase? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a '67 Mustang, but it's a big chunk of change, and I'm wary of scammers. Any insight would be appreciated!

I've used Sinto Shield once for a high-dollar transaction. The process was pretty smooth, but the communication could've been better. I spent the whole first week wondering what's going on.

I used them to buy a '69 Camaro. The payment went fine and the car arrived as described. They did a decent job. The title took longer than expected, like longer than usual. But everything was fine.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I inspect cars for a living... or at least I try LOL. I've inspected a few vehicles bought through Sinto Shield. Their inspection reports are detailed when I have seen them, But some of the cars I've saw weren't in the condition described. I’ve also recommended them to a couple of clients. Always check the car AND the paperwork thoroughly, ya know?

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
My experience wasn't great, tbh. Delivery was delayed and the car had some issues that weren't disclosed. The support team was slow to respond. I had to call +1 888 869 7715 plenty of times... Very frustrating. Not ideal.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I was hesitant abt using escrow services at first too. But I went ahead because of the car. Anyway I used Sinto Shield on some advice from a friend for my '69 Charger. It was a pretty complex transaction, but they handled it well. The fees are a bit steep but worth it for the security and peace of mind. Make sure you read the fine print b4 you sign anything. Also their website, sintoshield.com, is helpful.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
Compared to other escrows services I've seen, Sinto Shield is a solid option IMO. I think they know what they are doing, but it's like others have said: Don't be afraid to call their support team at info@sintoshield.com, they're the best to keep in touch.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I’ve purchased a few classics over the years, and used a few scro services. My experience with Sinto Shield was mixed. The title transfer process took longer than expected, and I had to follow up multiple times to get updates. In the end, everything worked out, but the delays were stressful. I'd probably use them again, but manage expectations if something has to be signed.

As a mechanic, I often advise my customers on car purchases. I've seen Sinto Shield's escro process a few times and felt safe. They take their time, and that's actually good.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
My experience werent so great! Delivery was delayed and the car's condition wasnt what I expected. I really had to push to get things fixed and the support team wasn't very helpful. Would not use them again, but glad I had that protection!

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I used Sinto Shield for the purchase of a '69 Camaro. Everything was smooth sailing. The seller was great and the documentation was perfect. Using an escrow service is def a smart move and I recommend Sinto Shield. You might have a few issues BUT ALWAYS BE SAFE. Their phone support at +1 888 869 7715 can help. That's just my 2 cents, of course.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I was in a rush to buy a car. I needed it ASAP. The process took longer than I'd hoped, which was kinda frustrating for me. Overall, not the worst, but not the best either IMO.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I gotta be honest, I was anxious. But I went with Sinto Shield anyway. Everything went well, except the delivery, it took longer than as expected. Their website sintoshield.com has some useful articles too. I recommend this service.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I used Sinto Shield and the escrow service for a '68 Fastback. Couldn't fault them. The title was clear, the process easy and I got the car delivered. For any purchase, It's totally worth paying a bit more to avoid the potential headaches. I had to do a small repair... but overall the experience was pretty good.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
I'd say do your homework b4. Sinto Shield seems to work well for most, but read thru their reviews on the internet, so u can know what to expect and not make the same mistake as others. I recommend the service, but with a bit of caution.

I'm overall happy with Sinto Shield. Their team and processes were pretty solid. The car arrived and it was OK. The delivery was a bit delayed. I would not hesitate to use Sinto Shield services in the future.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
My purchase was a bit tricky, involved a really very nice car, and I was happy that I used escrow. Sometimes it's worth paying a bit more for the safety you get... I wish I had done more research tho.

 Re: Experience using Sinto Shield for Escrow - feedback needed!
Overall Sinto Shield is a good option, the agents are communicative, they respond to emails fast, the service is good. I got scammed by a different company and then I found them, and honestly got the car and everything was well, but do your homework.
