On April 23, 2025 I had my car towed into the auto shop. I had gone through my roadside assistance on my car insurance for this service. My car was hooked up improperly to the tie rod and the tie rod was bent. The reason for the tow had to do with a bad coil pack and was in no way related to anything under the car. I contacted Agero and a claim was opened. On May 2, 2025, I sent pictures of the damage, including a photo of the bent tie rod that had to be cut in order to get it out, and a copy of the repair order from the shop. The repair order notes clearly indicate that this damage was not a result of any impact or collision but a result of improper towing. The cost of this unnecessary and no fault of my own repair was $437.83.On May 6, 2025, I received a voice message from the claims specialist requesting a verbal statement from me.Within the following three weeks, I left 7 messages for the claims specialist, 1 message for a supervisor, and sent an e-mail to the claims specialist asking that she return my calls. All calls have been documented, indicating the date and time of the calls.I received no calls from either the claims specialist or a supervisor. On May 23, 2025, I received an e-mail from the claims specialist informing me that my claim was being closed due to her inability to reach me.Since that time, I have sent another e-mail and left several additional phone messages for the claims specialist. I have been unable to locate a contact number or e-mail address for their customer service department.******* L. ****Business Response

I pay for roadside assistance. My car stopped running in the middle of a very busy road and I called for assistance. They told me a town would be out, I had to stay with the car. I wanted 4 hours no one showed tow company never answered. They then told me I could leave the key in the car and leave my vehicle unattended (I was not comfortable with that). I called the cops and they said this was not ok, a tow should have been here way before 4 hours. We waited longer and they said leave your car and take your key someone will come by morning and have the tools to get into the vehicle without the key I left they called back 30 minutes later said someone would be there in 40. So in total we waited 5 hours for a tow. It was very dangerous, scary and unacceptable.Customer Answer

According to our files, the tow was completed after a lengthily delay. On May 27, 2025, upon receipt of this message, we contacted the customer. We informed her that we would not be able to remove the claim, as the service was confirmed to have been completed. However, due to the lack of satisfactory service she experienced, as a goodwill gesture, we offered the customer $125.00 due to the excessive delays and that amount will be issued. She thanked us for addressing the matter, and the call ended amicably.Customer Answer

My son ********* ***** had his car towed by Agero to a mechanic shop to have his tire repaired. Before the vehicle was towed it was drivable once it got to the mechanic shop the vehicle was unmovable. The vehicle had to be towed to Potamkin ******* to fix the electric Parking system which was damaged as a result of towing. This cost $3718.34 of which I'm trying to recover. The amount was paid on 1/29/25. I have been trying to get this issue resolved since January. Each time I'm promised a callback which never occurs. I call weekly. The receptionists state that they cannot give me the email or contact information for any supervisors, CEO, or any workers other than the case worker whom I've called weekly, without resolution.Business Response

According to our telephone and email records we have communicated the decision to the customer on multiple occasions regarding the allegation that the tow company caused the mechanical damages ot the vehicle. We are unable to honor the damage complaint. The damages being claimed are not a result of the roadside event. The damages being claimed are not consistent with the tow service and the provider documented the vehicle in the same condition at pickup and drop off. We are unable to deem the service provider liable for the mechanical issues.Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
Agero did send a denial letter on 4/17/25. However, the initial denial was conveyed via phone by the Case Manager ******. We did not agree with the decision. The decision implied that the tow truck caused structural external damage to the vehicle of which we explained to ****** that there was no external physical damage to the vehicle, but damage to the parking brake.
The vehicle was driven up onto the ramp by the tow truck driver but was unable to be driven off the ramp. After the vehicle was towed to the shop it was no longer able to be driven for the repair of the tire, and had to be towed again to the dealer, who noted the damage and repaired the damage. That is why we requested a review of the case. Please note that the vehicle was towed directly from the tire shop to Potamkin ******* who diagnosed the problem immediately.
I've spoken to the Case Manager ****** on multiple occasions since February, requesting to speak to a supervisor/manager including ****** ***** (Liability Supervisors), Thurmonwell ****** or ****** ******* so that we could get a better understanding of why the claim was rejected to no avail. NO Supervisor has contacted us until I wrote a letter to BBB on 4/21/25. Within 3 hours of writing a complaint to BBB i received a call from ****** *******. ****** promised to callback but did not. I therefore called him on 4/25/25 when he informed me that the claim was denied because the damage was not caused by the tow truck. This does not explain why the vehicle was undrivable off the ramp. There was nothing wrong the parking brake prior to the tow.
Thank you for your understanding,

I was finally contacted by Agero informing me of their decision. But the damage was in fact caused by the tow truck. The damage inflicted was to the emergency braking system, which was a direct result of the towing onto the tow truck. This was evident when the vehicle was unable to be driven off the tow truck. There's no way the vehicle would have been able to be driven up the ramp initially. Or parked prior if that issue existed prior to being towed.
Agero is responsible for the damage caused to the vehicle. On what grounds are they basing their denial.
Thank you for your time and understanding regarding this matter.

We found no evidence to hold the tow service provider liable for mechanical issues with the vehicle. The vehicle sustained a failed timing belt and this caused the vehicle not to run and the reason for the tow. The vehicle was not in running condition when it was picked up. There is no evidence of wrongdoing on the provider's behalf.Initial Complaint

12/02/24 I contacted Agero to have my spare tire mounted because I had a piece of metal lodged in my tire and it was flat. They sent a lock ***** in a passenger car who stripped 2 lug nut stems with a compressor. It cost me $509 to repair the damage. I sent itemized bill and text messages from the lock ***** who damaged the car. Agero denied the claim saying there wasnt enough evidence . (This is the second time this company damaged one of my vehicles. The first time I requested a flat bed tow for my classic *** roadster the wasnt running to be towed 55 miles. I couldnt meet the driver but when he arrived he did not tow the car with a flat bed and dragged the car over uneven terrain. The car wasnt running so I dont know the damage.

Where to begin. As a contracted provider they treat us poorly. They refuse to rectify flaws in their system. They refuse to cooperate when a customer of theirs wants ******************** from us directly they dont give the jobs to us. They make the process to talk to a human representative absolutely horrendous as ive been on hold on this phone call myself now for over an hour on a silent hold to handle the same problem im trying to get resolved here. These giys do roadside assistance for various insurance companies and my uncle cant handle the process without speaking to a human immediately which is **** near impossible even with supervisor direct numbers theyre hard to get ahold of. Anyways my uncle needed his car unlocked on saturday night he knew i did it he knew i do work for his insurance so he called me instead of dealing with the headache getting it "their way" now they refuse to send job details over for me to get properly paid for as i do contracted work with them. He has liberty mutual insurance for roadside and liverty mutual uses agero for their roadside services who are supposed to give us the calls according ti the very same contract they dont ever follow. I have problems chasing money from these guys every single week. They never take accountability and they always have excuses to hide behind. Its getting out of hand.Business Response

I do not accept this answer because its completely false. I have reached out as far as calling corporate and had higher *** calling me regarding this issue and they said they wont resolve it. Pag is not a higher *** nor is pag corporate so if either one of them can handle it then why would pag do it. No one even calling my area manager was willing to resolve this the right way. You guys have these systems in place that help up little to none. Problems get resolved when we go through third parties like the bbb. Public record is what gets problems resolved not internal systems. Otherwise I wouldnt be having the same problems 5 years later. This isnt a one off problem. You guys have many issues internally you need to resolve before you can even resolve issues with your providers.

Youre correct I do NOT accept your response or your denial for payment. You guys dont care about your customers, I do. Im not going to have them wait for someone else to get service because you want to be ***** about it. I was already there its my uncle he asked me bc you guys make the process difficult for most people and leave them stranded for HOURS on end to save yourself a dollar and make the customer wait even longer. Its rude and they deserve better than that. Im not accept anything less than my contracted rate for the payment for the job I did on my uncles behalf but you guys couldnt find adequate help and cant locate him trying. Sounds like ***** excuses to me and again Ill retract my complaint upon payment received for the job I did and have pictures with time stamps showing the date and time it was taken which will correspond with everything we are discussing now. Ive tried dealing with the problem internally but again your company and your staff dont care about the ones actually doing the work. Youre not out there playing hero putting your lives on the line everyday saving random people, WE ARE and we should be treated better by your staff period and we should NEVER have to FIGHT for payment on services rendered nor should we ever have to go online to a public channel to leave a complaint to get issues addressed appropriately. When I get payment I will accept the response and retract my complaint nothing less nothing more.

Utilized Chrysler roadside assistance on 1/27/2025 who is contracted through Agero. Agero scheduled a local tow company who damaged my vehicle while loading the vehicle. I was a witness to the accident and Agero will not take responsibility for the damage. The damaged was caused by the tow truck driver using a knife to engage the neutral switch and negligence will loading vehicle. The driver engaged the winch too quickly which caused the chain to jump and damage the rear bumper of the vehicle. I provided a eye witness account, photos of the damage and also quotes for repair.Customer Answer

The damages could have occurred at any point with the owner driving the vehicle as it has over 6000 miles on odometer. It must also be noted that the damages are not consistent with the service. Therefore, the service provider is not deemed liable for the damages.
This damage was not documented by the customerat the time of the tow. Our records also indicate that the vehicle remained at the repair facility and was being worked on for approximately 15 days after the initial service. The customer reported he noticed the the damage at that time, also noting that the repair facility did not mention any new damages The photos submitted were timestamped February 11, well after the tow date.
We are unable to honor the damage complaint. The damages being claimed are not a result of the roadside event.

Dear Agero and BBB,
I was a direct witness to the drivers negligence and the damaged caused by the tow chain and the drivers pocket knife while working to place my vehicle in neutral. The date on the photos is the same date as the paper work received from the dealership and I filed the claim as soon as possible. Also, note that I called the same day of the tow to report the drivers negligence and the operator said they noted the conversation with the claim. Agero continues to refute my claim and testimony however there has been no contrary evidence or testimony submitted. I formally request Agero to provide the transcript of the interview between Agero and the tow truck driver from Harrys Towing & Auto Repair. My understanding is that it was the responsibility of Agero employee ****** ******** ***************************************** to gather evidence from both parties for the claim. Not once has any documentation been provided from Agero or Harrys Towing to refute my claims. I will not file a claim with my personal insurance company as the responsibility of the damage lies with Agero. I will continue to escalate this case in any way possible to hold Agero responsible. If BBB is unable to assist with the unethical practices of Agero then my next recourse will be our local small claims court.Please forward all documentation from the interviews and transcripts with Harrys Towing.
Thank you,
**** ******
