On Monday February 10, 2025. I requested roadside assistance from my auto insurance provider for my flat tire on the ************************. In the service request, I confirmed twice that I was located on a highway. I was also sent a tracking link showing the exact location of where I was with the flat tire. ***** allowed service providers that were not qualified for my situation to answer my service request call. The service provider was a locksmith company that refused to service a flat tire on the highway. after waiting 50 minutes for that service provider I was forced to contact my insurance company and request another service provider for my flat tire. I received a text that another service provider would service my flat tire. I waited some time and called for the *** on this service provider because I hadn't received any updates. My insurance company informed me that the service provider canceled because they also do not service autos on the highway. By this time I had after waiting and talking to the insurance company I had been waiting for over two hours in the hot Florida sun on the highway. My insurance company said they would dispatch a towing truck that would take another 65- to *************************************************************** quickly because I needed to get out of the sun and was I billed $105. I sent the receipt to *****. They want more documentation that I do not have and I will not spend any more time on this situation. I already lost a full day's worth of work because of Aegro's incompetence and my employer's unwillingness to wait any longer for my flat tire situation to be rectified. The fact that this company focuses on service providers racing to answer service requests and then demand that I keep proving to them that I paid money to rectify my situation through my means is appalling. I want a reimbursement for the $105 I spent. They should be glad I haven't requested anything else due to their negligence.Business Response

We reviewed the customer's complaint alleging the road service provider damaged the vehicle. It is plausible that the electrical problem was pre existing prior to the service provider's arrival. The jump pack utilized would not cause the damage described in the complaint. There is currently no evidence to suggest any negligence on the part of the service provider, as the equipment utilized is designed to prevent any such occurrences.Initial Complaint

Agero towing was supposed to transport vehicle to Crash Collision in ************,**. Dropped vehicle in residential neighborhood in a mans driveway, even with correct name of CC on hand. We didnt become aware until man found our information in glove box, contacted us on Tuesday, even sent pic to State Farm showing car in mans private property. State Farm did retrieve car, same remains in shop. Causing undue stress/financial hardship as we must take **** for any errands! Very poor /lack of concern for their clients shown on 08/16/2025. The first repair shop was unable to repair damage and second shop chosen due to that. Agero should be held accountable for any/all expenses due to their neglect.Business Response

The dispute arises from progressive car insurance that was called for a tow of a vehicle under their policy that sent a tow company who during the tow caused damage to my car. When I called progressive to work out the issue I was sent to Agero. I proved the damage that happened with my parking brake, no longer operable after the tow by pictures and a statement.Multiple, multiple calls and emails were sent with few returned calls from ********* ********. The case manager, I was assigned to. The date of the loss was November 25, 2024. On January 20, 2025 I finally received a call and was told my complaint was denied and no payout would be given. No call was made to the automotive center for follow up nor with the company ever actually seeing the car to look at the damages. Agero repeatedly asked for pictures of the damages, which I explained were not physically visible, but due to damaged electronics, making the brake calipers no longer workable. I explained I am not an automotive specialist and to reach out to ********************************************* where my car was to have it explained by the mechanic. They refused. I dont know what to do from here. I am asking they pay the automotive center to fix what was broken by the tow company. The cost (theyve been given an estimate from the automotive center.) is $1700 for two brake calipers. Mid dispute I sent a complaint to the ************************** as it went several weeks with no response from the company. I have documentation of all my calls made as well as email sent.Customer Answer

The vehicle had a no start issue. The provider pushed the vehicle out of the driveway to line up with the tow truck. The provider pushed and the customer drove the vehicle. The vehicle was winched onto the bed, front first. The vehicle was secured with wheel straps. The customer rode with the driver and went to the dealership. The vehicle was winched off the bed and the customer drove the vehicle into the parking spot and the provider pushed from the rear. The shop stated that the rear brake calipers were not working. The actuators are electric and failed. There was no evidence of physical damage and there was never physical damage mentioned on scene. There are no photos and the vehicle is repaired. The vehicle was towed due to an electrical issue. That issue may have been the cause of the malfunction, or the brake caliper failure may have been the cause of the electrical issue. In any instance, there is no evidence that this was a tow service-related loss.Customer Answer

He called them and spent exactly 1 hour and 7 minutes being sent to 3 different people. He gave them information like my check number 2214 that i paid the ***** and they cashed the check with mybank at ***** fargo and much other information. The card only says drivers elite but not the name of the company which they would not tell him. at the end of the run around call a woman named ***** c told him that she would not help and that I would have to call the same number again. no help... I was in a different town far away from him. The next day my friend drove over but his jumper cables were not up to the job.

On Jan. 1, I got a flat tire on my way to return a rental car. I called Liberty Mutual's roadside assistance, which used Agero to send a tow truck. As I had a flight to catch, I couldn't stay with the car, but I returned the key to the Thrifty rental car location at the ************************* and told them the vehicle would be towed later that day.When I arrived home, I received a voicemail from the tow company, ************, stating the car couldn't be returned to the garage due to low clearance the tow truck couldn't clear. Top G tried to contact Thrifty to find another location to drop off the car, but there is no direct number to contact the Thrifty ***************** office. Instead, the call went to Thrifty's national headquarters, and they were no help, stating that was the only place to drop it off. The tow truck was forced to take the car back to its storage facility, where I racked up storage fees while Liberty Mutual and Agero went back and forth about what my next steps were to get the car back to Thrifty. There was no urgency on Agero's part to get the car back while I racked up $768 in storage fees for the car being at the tow company's lot for 7 days. Agero even emailed Liberty to tell me the storage fees wouldn't be covered rather than calling them. A phone call would have been much faster, and this was a time-sensitive matter.I called Agero to seek reimbursement for the storage fees, but Agero would only reimburse me $100 because they claimed I was supposed to tell them there was a low clearance, but I'm not sure how I or anyone would ever know that. I'm seeking reimbursement for the storage fees that Agero should pay because I did everything in my power to get the car returned, and they were slow in telling me I wouldn't be reimbursed and are being unreasonable in their request for me to give them a heads up of the low clearance.Business Response

We have reviewed the customer's damage complaint regarding the damage to the battery, battery cable, fusible link, alternator, and radio of her 2007 ***** IS 250. Based on our review, we find the evidence submitted does not support that damage was caused as a result of the roadside service. The service provider used a protected jump box. There is no evidence that the provider caused this damage and the technician handling the repairs could not provide any evidence that a jump start caused the issues with the vehicle.Initial Complaint
