My Experience with ASL Car Service: A Concerning Account
I recently used ASL Car Service for airport transportation and feel obligated to share my experience, particularly regarding our return journey.
Our return trip began with a significant delay. Despite receiving a notification that our driver, Bill, had arrived early, we discovered he was not at the designated pickup location. We waited nearly 50 minutes in cold, rainy conditions before he finally appeared.
Upon his arrival, Bill's demeanor was immediately concerning. He remained notably silent throughout our interaction and handled our luggage with apparent frustration, placing bags forcefully into the vehicle's storage compartment.
Once we departed, the driving behavior became increasingly alarming. The vehicle moved erratically around corners, and I observed the speedometer frequently exceeding 90 miles per hour. Bill made several abrupt lane changes, including a particularly concerning last-minute maneuver to reach our exit. The vehicle took the curved exit ramp at such speed that I felt it lose traction momentarily.
What troubled me most was the treatment of my elderly mother. At 88 years old, she requires assistance when entering and exiting vehicles, especially from taller SUVs. When we arrived at our destination, Bill removed our luggage and placed it in the street rather than on the sidewalk. Despite our intention to help my mother exit from our side of the vehicle, Bill opened the door on his side, seemingly expecting her to exit there. He provided no assistance as she navigated her way out of the vehicle, and departed quickly once she had barely cleared the door.
I believe car service providers should maintain certain standards: safety, courtesy, and professionalism. While our outbound journey and the reservation process met these expectations, our return experience fell significantly short. I am particularly concerned about the treatment of vulnerable passengers like my mother, who deserve additional consideration.
I share this account in hopes that ASL Car Service will address these issues and that other potential customers can make informed decisions regarding their transportation needs. read more
