If I could give them a ZERO, that is what they would get.
Here is my experience using Shuttle To LAX yesterday Aug 27, 2015:
Shuttle to LAX, you guys need to investigate this criminal of a
driver you have operating van # 763. I think his name is Dennis
Flowers, he was not wearing any kind of identification on him, I
saw this name tag hanging on the rear view mirror so I am assuming
it is his name tag, I am also assuming I managed to read his name
correctly from a distance where we were sitting.
Here is our HORRIBLE experience re: reservation # SL7811045.
He shows up at 1:30pm in a Ford van that left like an oven inside.
The moment we stepped inside the van, things went dramatically
downhill with this criminal yes, I am calling him a criminal because
he is nothing short of that.
My wife and myself immediately asked him to turn the AC to max
cool as the oven felt like it has been parked in 100 degree temperature
for a darn week.
He said once we got moving, the van will cool down and flat out REFUSED
to put the AC to max cool, he kept it at normal cool. I explained to him that
I own a van exactly like his and I very well know that his van AC system
was NOT function correctly. The air registers were only outputting air, just
air and I again repeatedly asked him to put the ac to max cool for the comfort
of his paying passengers. To which he replied, "this is not a Cadillac and you
guys only paid $20 so what do you expect?"
Well, excuse me Shuttle To Lax, what I do expect is to ride in a van that is
well maintained and that is comfortable for the passengers. Within 2 miles
of leaving home I had already told him I am going to call the Prime Time
Shuttle office about his HORRENDOUS attitude and his response was "they
can do nothin to me, I do not work for them, I am an independent contractor".
My reply to him was that he was an asshole and that is when he threatened me
and my wife and asked us to leave, he said he was going to exit the 210 freeway,
this was just before Azusa Ave and he would physically force us out of his van.
He also challenged me to a fight and said he would kick my ass.
I was immediately on the phone with Prime Time shuttle and one of your CSRs
took note of what was going on, someone was supposed to call me back but up
until I departed on my flight at LAX at 6.30pm, no-one called me back.
My gut feeling was to file a police report against this driver with the Airport Police
but my wife talked me out of that.
I am demanding a full refund of what I paid, I did not pay you guys to be threatened
by your CRIMINAL independent contractor.
I am also asking you guys to investigate this criminal and take disciplinary action
against him.
I have been using Shuttle to LAX for many years and have always been pleased
with the service I received. But this asshole, and yes, I am calling him an asshole,
really has NO business working in any kind of job where he comes in direct contact
with customers.
NEVER HAVE I EVER FEARED FOR MY SAFETY THAN I DID YESTERDAY AND
WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH YOUR CSR, SHE SAID AT THAT POINT SHE
COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND WOULD EMAIL A COMPLAINT REPORT TO SOME
SUPERVISOR AND SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK.
Upon my return to the United States and based on the response I receive from you
guys I do retain my rights to pursue this issue in both criminal and civic avenues.
I will also get my credit card company involved failing receiving a full refund and rest
assured my experience with this criminal independent contactor (that Shuttle to LAX
and Prime Time Shuttle are responsible for) will be shared with my friends and family
and also online on various websites such as yelp, etc... read more
