Update (08/14/2026) After my review was posted, I was contacted by an SGT Auto Transport representative named Ivy. Ivy sent me a "Good Faith Resolution Agreement" offering a $199 refund related to this matter. During a telephone conversation, Ivy stated that removal of my negative reviews was required before the refund would be issued. However, the written agreement provided to me does not contain any requirement to remove, modify, or delete reviews. To avoid any misunderstanding, I requested that SGT provide in writing all steps required on my part to receive the refund. I specifically asked that any such requirements be confirmed by email. SGT did not provide those instructions in writing. Instead, I was informed that those requirements would not be put in writing. As of today, I have not received written confirmation identifying the specific actions SGT requires in order for the proposed refund to be processed. This update reflects my personal experience and understanding of the communications I have had with SGT Auto Transport.

Dear Halyna, While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, the facts remain clear: the $199 cancellation fee fully applied under the terms of the contract you signed. Our cancellation policy is not hidden, discretionary, or optional. It is displayed on our website, reiterated in our Terms & Conditions, included in every customer communication, and stated directly within the Customer Shipping Contract. We operate with full transparency, and customers are responsible for reviewing the agreement before authorizing service. SGT invests significant resources into vetting and maintaining a compliant motor-carrier network, which is precisely why our cancellation policy exists and why it is enforced consistently. You entered a binding contract, and the fee was charged in accordance with those agreed-upon terms. Regarding your statement that we “offered a refund to remove your review,” that is not accurate. We reached out because we take all customer feedback seriously and wanted to address the concerns you raised. When service does not go perfectly, we make every effort to salvage the relationship and explore reasonable resolutions. However, no promises, conditions, or requests tied to your review were ever made. SGT has been in business for 15 years, and our reputation is built on transparency, compliance, and doing everything within our role as a broker to support our customers. The cancellation fee was rightful, contractually authorized, and communicated clearly from the outset.
