Locksmith doing flat tire repair/nasty phone rep
I requested roadside assistance from my auto insurance provider for my flat tire on the Florida Turnpike Highway. Pop a lock decided to accept my service request for roadside assistance. After waiting for a while I received a text from a Pop-a-lock technician stating he was 15 minutes away. I responded with ok thank you. Later the technician called me asking my location. I told him I had a flat tire and I was on the Turnpike Highway as I have stated several times. Also, the tracking link displayed my exact location on this highway. The Pop-a-lock technician stated that he could not come on the highway to service my flat tire. This ordeal took 50 minutes. I called my insurance company and had to wait an extremely long time for another service provider to be dispatched to me. Ultimately, it took almost 3 hours to get service. When I called Poplock’s Orlando, Florida‘s phone number at (407) 204-173 to object to how the service call was handled the woman representative was extremely rude and apathetic. She stated that Pop-a-Lock has no wrongdoing because the of the address dispatch provided. It is not just about the address that was provided, Pop-a Lock is a locksmith that doesn't advertise flat tire repairs on its Orlando website. Additionally, since they offer limited services they should have confirmed the address when the technician contacted me. I now had to wait an additional two hours for a service repair mistake that was not my own. Pop-a-Lock (knowing their limitations) should confirm the customer’s needs request instead of focusing on being the first service provider to grab a service request from the dispatching company. Especially we they are contracting out services they don't advertise for. Again, whatever contract conflict or problem that dispatchers and service providers are having is not my problem and I am not the one that should have to suffer for it. As a business, you work proactively work out the kinks. This could have easily been avoided. I have also filed a complaint against the dispatcher.
