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.

On 12/19/24, my car wouldn't start. I pay for roadside assistance with my car insurance through State Farm, so I filed a claim to have the car towed to my house. I planned to meet the tow truck driver where my car was parked at 9am on 12/20. He called around 7am as he pulled in the parking lot, asked where my car was parked, and said I didn't need to be there. He delivered my car to my house around 7:45am. I fixed the fuel pump and thought all was good. That night, my wife attempted to take our son to the doctor. She drove about a block then came right back home. She said the car was wobbling violently. It was dark then, so I inspected the car the next morning 12/21. I found a broken control arm which must have been caused by the tow. State Farm said I needed to get an estimate from a repair shop and file a claim through Agero. I had to pay $100 to get my car towed to the shop. They couldn't do an estimate and told me to take it to a dealership. I paid $65 for my car to be towed to **** ******** on 12/26. They completed the estimate and said they would need to order a part which would take about a week to arrive. My car has been sitting in limbo at the dealership ever since. I was told Agero had 5 days after I sent them an estimate to decide if they would accept my claim. Then it was 5 days from when they accept my estimate. Then it was 5 days from when the estimate reached their claims department. They don't communicate and rarely return calls or respond to emails. Reaching out to ********** hasn't helped. Agero told me to rent a car and send them receipts for POSSIBLE reimbursement. I can't afford that. Found out later they will only reimburse $30 max, after claim is approved, while car is in the shop. Last week I told them I was at risk of dealership placing a lien on my car. They promised to expedite my claim. Still no answers or help. Ridiculous! Need my car fixed, tows and diagnostic reimbursed, rental car, and restitution for the hardships they've caused.

We have reviewed the damage complaint reporting tow damage to the rear control arm to the 2012 Chrysler 300. Based on our review, we find the evidence submitted does support the damage that was caused as a result of the roadside service.
We contacted the customer on 1/16/25 with resolution details and notification of pending payment

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.
[You must provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution. If you do not enter a reason for your rejection, your complaint will be closed as Answered.] Respectfully, we cannot accept Agero's response. We received a call from Agero on 1/16/25 informing us that our claim had been approved and they would be sending us a check for the estimated cost of repair. While this is a step in the right direction, it is not a resolution and we remain very dissatisfied. As of today, 1/24/25, we have not yet received a check and remain without a vehicle since 12/19/24. The needed repairs cannot even begin until we receive the check, because we cannot afford to pay for the repairs without it. Agero refused to cover towing expenses incurred, with their excuse being "we are not an insurance company." Agero has completely ignored our concerns regarding the hardships we've endured as a result of their "policies" and their actions/inaction. Agero demanded that we follow their process or forfeit our claim. Their process has caused us to be without a vehicle for over a month and counting. The towing company they hired has been found at fault for the damage to our vehicle, which means they should be responsible for ALL related expenses - not just the parts Agero decides to cover. This entire experience has been an absolute nightmare. We will not be satisfied until our vehicle is fully repaired, Agero and/or the tow company have covered all of our expenses associated with this claim to include towing, and we have been compensated for the hardships weve endured as a result of being without a vehicle for such a ridiculously long time. Their policy of "maybe" reimbursing "up to $30 per day" for a rental "while the vehicle is in the shop being repaired" as absolutely unacceptable.

Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.

During our investigation into the damage complaint, we learned that the customer was paid in full for the total loss of his vehicle through insurance. We contacted the customer to advise that he may not collect for further damage claims and he was not satisfied with that information.

I was not paid in full for my truck i kept my truck and only had enough money to fix the inital damage and will have to come out of pocket to fix the negligent towing done on behalf of agero and will be pursuing legal actions

We have completed a second investigation with the customer's insurance provider with the following conclusion:

- The customer has indeed received a total payment of $11,399.22 as compensation for the retained vehicle.
- Notably, no deductions were made for the alleged damage to the rear bumper, which was allegedly attributed to the service provider.
- It has been assessed that the customer has been duly compensated at a rate of 100% for the vehicle, addressing the initial grounds for denial by Agero.
- Upon careful review of the settlement evaluation summary, it is evident that the customer was paid for the full value of the vehicle, thus incurring no loss.
- Furthermore, no deductions for pre-existing damages, including those linked to the service provider, were identified during the assessment process.
In light of the comprehensive compensation received by the customer through their insurance provider, we are unable to process any further payments at this stage.

On 9/7/24 I needed a tow for my truck. I was told I would have to pay for it and be reimbursed. As of 12/9/24 no reimbursement has been made. I and my insurance company have given the information to Agero six separate times, and they continually ask for the same information. I have received at least 3 emails saying the claim would be closed for lack of response, but I have proof - emails - from myself and my agent proving responses were sent. Reimbursement was promised within 15 days, and it's been 92 days without any reimbursement. I have been dealing with ***** ****, ********************************

I was driving my fathers truck who is insured with State Farm on Sunday 11/24, He purchased additional State Farm roadside assistance for a fee monthly. I was driving his truck and it broke down. I used the number on the back of the insurance form. I told them I needed towed back to my fathers home which was 88.4 miles away. When on the phone they told me that after looking at the policy my dad held there would be a ****** fee required before they would dispatch services and that I could call my insurance company for a claims receipt. I said okay. The next day I reached out to his insurance company who told me they couldnt give me an itemized receipt due to an NDA with Agero company. I reached out to Agero requesting an itemized receipt. They cant give me one either. Called the towing company and they told me that they were unable to give me one as it was paid through that roadside company. They have an *** also that they cannot disclose much information. I asked him for a quote from the same location A to location B. He quoted it ******. So when I reached back out to ********** and Agero, they stated there is nothing they can do. Fees change. But refuse to tell me what the fees that changed where. They charged me ****** dollars more than the actual tow company and collect from insurance also. They dont offer an itemized receipt or reimburse of the difference. They could charge whatever and there is no way to know because they had everyone sign NDA. Agero said it was just for the towing service that I was paying for not a fee on their behave. To me that is fraudulent.

I had someone from Agero contact me and tell me there is nothing they can do. They sent me a receipt on behalf of ********** with the payment info. Not explaining costs. Just that its at their fee they charge. I requested the phone recorded conversation because as no time did they let me know that I was working with anyone from Agero on *********** behalf. No time was I ever told that I would be paying the tow fees that Agero sets, not the actual tow truck company which I was under the false pretenses that I was paying. I have not heard back from Agero other than them saying I didnt have to use their services that my father gets by paying a monthly service fee for.
Business Response
Date: 12/20/2024
The tow fees applied were due to the limits for towing on the customer's ******************** benefit through her insurance policy. The customer was charged an overage due to the tow only being covered for a total of 13 miles per policy limits. A voicemail has been left with the customer explaining the overage fee at $7.50 a mile. The roadside receipt showing the charge of 75 miles was also sent to the customer. The customer is covered to the closest suitable repair facility plus an additional 10 discretionary miles. Any miles that are not covered are the customers responsibility to pay before we dispatch a provider. The service provider rates are $7.50 per mile.

11/17 I had a flat tire, Agero Ipt sent a 1 star tow company to come get my vehicle on the side of the highway at 1am. After not hearing back from the tow company they hired for a hour I had to leave it and get home. I never heard back or got a call or text from the tow company all night Agero called me asking since they didnt know either. They charged me $143.00 for the tow. The next day it had been towed since I called the shop but had to be moved because the tow truck parked it in a terrible spot that could be damaged.I spent hours on the phone telling Agero what happened and to please refund me for all the time, frustration, and for hiring a business with literally ONE STAR. They did only a partial refund. Truly the worse experience Ive had with a company.
