This was the worst choice I have ever made in choosing BLACK TIE LIMOUSINE (Staten Island) - Owner SAL. In setting up my booking with him, he was so pleasant and accomodating. Little did I know, he turned out to be a LIAR, SOOOO DISHONEST AND BULLSH** ARTIST. Firstly, I booken and payed for a Chrysler 300M limo for my daughters Sweet 16 to chaueffer us to and from the 59th street pier in NYC. The week before I recieved a call from a women from his office who said the Chrysler was double booked and instead was going to send me the Hummer (which by the way I had used prior to Sal buying this business from Louise who was honorable and accomodating-unlike him a saleman bullsh** artist), so on the morning of the scheduled pickup, I received a call from some foreigner who was on the opposite end of Staten Island, late of course and can't find my home asking me where am I?? So, 40 minutes later he shows up at my front door with a MAJOR ATTITUDE, a filthy dirty smelly white old beat up Lincoln Towncar ready to chauffer us to NYC. He told me that Sal said the Hummers air conditioning had broken and has sent him instead. Another lie. If on this special occasion I was looking for a piece of sh** ride to my daughters Sweet 16 cruise, I would have taken my bicycle. Since we had no other choice, Sal had stuck this nasty idiot on us, we are on our way. By the way, this beat up Lincoln had MINIMAL air conditioning on a 90 degree morning, his audio system did not work and reeked of smoke. We stop at a DD, I offered and bought him coffee and not even a thank you -- So RUDE. So on our way. We arrive at 59th Street, dropped off so far from the entrance, no explanation, he drops our bags at the curb and off he goes. What was I thinking when I tipped him - DUH!!!
We had also sechuled with Sal, the MOST DISHONORABLE IDIOT AND OWNER OF BLACK TIE LIMO, for a pickup on our return. Well, only to come and find out that upon our return, awaiting at the curbside, we were left high and dry. No one showed to pick us up and OF COURSE IDIOT DISHONORABLE SAL never answered his phone.
I was able to reach him a few days later and all i got were lies and excuses and more lies. He promised to refund my money, and this was back in July and of course, to date, that was more bullsh** he handed me and hasn't given me a dime. During my, at least 100 calls of asking where my money was, he tells me how since he is an honorable man he will refund my money. Honorable man, I think what he meant to say was how much of a DISHONORABLE, CHEAT AND LIAR of salesman/owner he is.
This is no way to run a business, lieing and raining on everyones joyous day. You hire a limousine to enhance on your special occasion only to find out that what you had paid for turns out to be nothing but a disappointment. There is no excuse for such service on what should have been a memorable and spectular day for my daughter. Also, now I know why he didn't want a downpayment or when I asked for a contract he said I didn't need it, because he knows after he screws you, you can't take him to small claims court because he has provided you with the proof of a receipt. Such a sneak and a lesson learned for me -- I would have hauled his ass into small claims court in a heart beat.
So, everyone, beware and stay away. read more
