This company has TERRIBLE customer service. Their customer service representative, DESIREEE is NOT friendly trained as the description of the company says. She has no compassion or integrity what so ever! She spoke to me very derogatory and made it seem like it was my fault.
My encounter with Smart Shuttle. I made online reservations, 6 weeks in advance for a ride to LAX & return also. Two & a half weeks before I left on my trip I changed my return flight date/ time. I immediately call Smart Shuttle to make the revisions! It was a simple phone call to which I provided them my new flight #, date and time. I asked for a confirmation of the phone call of the changes which I did receive an email!
My ride to the airport, the driver Reggie was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, compassionate, has integrity & great customer service! My flight left at 6a and i was picked up at 2:15a he was there on time, a little early!
Returning from my trip I had no ride and called and Desiree was hostile and was so assuring that her system
Was correct to show the old return flight time but for that day. I advised her of the email confirmation & that there must be a glitch in their system, she was argumentative, never apologized and was telling me i would have to wait you til 11:52p! (It was barely reaching 6p) she wanted to continue to get sassy and i asked how can we resolve this and she placed me on hold to say they couldn't do anything. I told her i was charged she said "no we only charged you for the pick up!" I asked her what would she do if she her mother, sister or grandmother were in my situation and advised her she should be more compassionate and have more integrity over the phone to someone who has written proof & is a customer instead of arguing me down as if I had something to lie about.
Well the next morning I call asked for the manager Laura, who Desiree said she left a message to call me, she wasn't available so Alice, Lead Customer Rep. was told about the situation, said she will review the recordings and will properly train and reprimand Desiree as needed & advised she'll call me back in about 48hrs! Well it's now a month later, no call back from Laura or Alice! Don't waste your time or money. If so call call call them to make sure they have their information correct and their system is not inserting a wrong time other than the confirmation email you received!! I will drive myself or go through a more reputable company next time or pay to park my car while on vacation!!
After digging on this company they are part of tree BBB & their responses are completely UNPROFESSIONAL from the owner, also no integrity and it very much may just hire family members out of high school like Desiree!!
This companies bread & Butter is Medi-Cal, taking seniors & the community to dialysis, doctor appts and ride homes after being hospitalized. very seldom don't they drive to LAX! Even the Rams FootBall team has had multiple issues with this company. Who messes up a contract like that with professional athletes who travel all season long & have family members visiting?!!
Laura (being a manger) allows her family members complimentary rides, who aren't "employees" last minute; then the family member decides to get picked up at their parking garage off Dawson. Ride share? let the driver drive you, don't do half the driving and inconvenience others by showing up 20minutes late not knowing which terminal you're even going to!!! A hot mess of a family & company all the way around!!
Reggie is the best, keep up the great work, I tip my hat off to you! he deserves a raise and is the one who is holding down this company and making a big change as the face to the company!! Desiree needs to be fired; u couldn't even take care of my dog; she doesn't listen and thinks she knows everything!! Laura demote her, stop giving your family free rides/ at lease make sure they're on time & not making you look bad as a "manager" word is advise; allow them to be picked up and Alice stick to your word when you say you're going to do something, a month was plenty of time to review phone recordings!! To the owner TRAIN your OFFICE staff! Bad news travels faster than good! I have nothing but bad to speak on all except for the driver Reggie! read more
