Reposting the below again since these guys are trying to avoid the terrible reviews they are getting on their other company name Metro Limousine Services:
WORST company I've ever dealt with. I wish I read these reviews before booking with these guys because the limo driver and the manager on the phone (he never gave me his name and hung up on me) were both complete ASSHOLES! They literally left me and my party at the first vineyard and told me "good luck finding a ride home!". If you do book for some reason (may god help you), stay away from the driver Michael in a white Lincoln limo (NY license plate #17424LV).
Essentially, I booked these guys for a wine tour to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend and to enjoy the day with a group of our close family and friends. They promoted themselves on a website called winetoursoflongisland.com and after comparing the costs of their wine tasting/lunch package vs. doing everything piecemeal, I decided to just go with them since it was a little bit cheaper and convenient. Stupidest decision I've made this year...
Julie Gee was the manager I booked the deal with over the phone. She was nice at the time I booked and said that all I had to do was sign the contracts and then pay the driver at the END of the day (this became an issue later with the driver)... After the trip was planned on the phone I thought it would have been smooth sailing. Unfortunately that was NOT the case...
To start the day, the driver (Michael) threatened that he'll leave my group if people got too drunk as soon as he got to my house... this limo was book specifically for a wine tour! Not that we were all planning on blacking out, but this was already off to bad start. Michael then decides to tell us that a girl from the previous week peed on his carpet and a group of guys for the week before then ripped out one of the small TV screens. I'm not surprised now since I'm sure the driver was an asshole then too.
Once we get to the very FIRST vineyard (Laurel Lakes), the driver asked for payment right away. After I explained that Julie (his boss) said we didn't have to pay until the end and that some of us may still need to get some money at an ATM, he agreed to just give him cash after the first vineyard since we were already there and we would just cover the costs of the wine tastings ourselves.... however, less than 2 minutes later, the driver changes his mind, walked into the middle of the vineyard and demanded payment in front of the entire place, intentionally causing a scene. He went as far as telling one of my friends that "if we want a problem, we can have a problem" and then went on a rant of how he doesn't need this "stress" and started to take our stuff out of his limo.
After his inappropriate and unprofessional public display, my friends and I collected the amount he needed to cover the trip (not including tip), however, before giving him the money, I showed it to him so he knew we can pay and were serious but told him how disrespectful and inappropriate his attitude and approach was to the situation. Even with the money in his face, he decided that it wasn't good enough so he drove off, leaving with some of our stuff still in his car. Upon his departure, even the workers at the vineyard were shocked and disgusted by the drivers attitude and actions. The sad part is that the vineyard has been having frequent issues with Metro and may no longer with them again.
After calling Metro's phone number to complain, the manager on duty wasn't any better... he never gave me his name and actually started yelling on the phone as if we were the ones that did something wrong.
Luckily I found another company after spending the next hour calling around, but it totally ruined our morning and what was supposed to be a stress free day (I was there to celebrate my anniversary!).
Sorry for the long write up but this was a nightmare and hope no one ever has to go through that experience again. read more
