Worst customer service I have ever experiencedWe paid over $for a limo on Saturday, August 20th which we booked months in advance for a Bachelorette party to do wine tours during the dayWhen the limo arrived, he told us there was no air conditioning and there was nothing they could doIt was over degrees and we had ladies dressed upIn the back of the limo, there was only two small windows that rolled down, leaving us no other choice but to sit in HOT limo all day longAs you can imagine, it was miserableWe were on the phone with management all day attempting to get some sort of refund, they refused to compensate any of our money backNot to mention, they were extremely rudeBarnes knew ahead of time the air conditioning was not working because they had a portable air conditioner hooked up in the back "attempting" to blow out air, which was also not workingThey also claimed they were sending a repair man meet us at the first winery to "fix" the air...which they never showedVERY unprofessional limo service who put us in ridiculous conditions with no compensationsI would never recommend Barnes to anyone

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that there will be no resolution Hopefully, now you are aware of how horrible this business is I asked the other members of my party to write their own experiences and I did not change anything in their letters I'm seeing that there is no resolution to this incident and all I can do not is warn others about this business What upsets me most is how the owner can easily lie and get away with giving unsuspecting customers a horrible time because of their service and vehiclesI have learned a valuable lesson and hope other will not have the same experience as we did Thank you for your time and patience in this matter It seems nothing can be done, but I appreciate the effort Regards, *** ***

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Today, I received an email from Walten Point Productions telling me that they have tried to bill my charge card an additional $fee (which they state I am responsible to pay them now) for my attempting to dispute this claim with my charge card companyThey have threaten to turn it over to a collection agency, if I do not pay them this $immediately, and as of today, it will start to incur daily late feesIf not paid within ten business days, they will take me to court and I would then be responsible to pay all legal court fees associated with this case! I am at a loss as what to do now! Regards, [redacted]

To whom this may concern - [redacted] originally booked a person hummer limoIt has seating in it for inches per personHow many the limo will fit exactly is subjective to the size of the people, as we tell everyone when they book a vehicleOur driver informed [redacted] guys might be tight depending on how large everyone is, as all guys take up more, space then a women and men mix [redacted] said he had more people then he originally expected and asked if it was possible to get anything largerWe offered him our person stretch hummer that has inches of seating per personThe hummer is not only different then the just in that it has an added VIP area as [redacted] stated but it has inches extra of seating compared to our other gummer and more seating in the rest of the coachWe have multiple hummers we run in our fleet all with different lengths of seating [redacted] has stated that we were aware that the limos AC system was not functioning properlyWe had just had the limos AC serviced the prior day and was functionalThe driver on the trip before [redacted] ’s did mention that he thought it was weak, although that can be subjective depending on the temperature outside, how many people are in the limo, how long the doors are left open etc therefore we did not think it was a huge concern When the limo arrived, [redacted] said the AC system was not working, although this is not something that is guaranteed in our contract it is something that our customers do expect and we do our best to deliver on every tripOur company believes it may have possibly had a slow leak according to [redacted] ’s claim When the limo took everyone out the driver did shut the limo off and when he went to restart it at 11:PM (over hours of already using our service) the battery seemed to be deadHis may have been due to the passengers leaving something on in the rear although it is not certainWe sent a replacement limo to them as soon as we could, exactly what we agreed to do according to our contractUnfortunately we do not have open limos driving around the city with drivers so in order to get another limo to him it did take a bit of time According to the contract entered into by [redacted] to use our services as well as our company to provide it states, “ (EXIBIT1) In the event that due to any circumstances less time is provided to you then contracted then the time my be rescheduled when mutually agreed upon by both the purchaser and our company, (EXIBIT 2) All deposits are nonrefundable (EXIBIT 3) No cash refunds will ever be given back from our company to the purchaserTime credits will be given by discretion of the company (EXIBIT 4) If the limousine has a mechanical malfunction we will be allowed up to minutes for delay with no compensationIn this event, company will do its best to offer you the missed time as overtime, when possible(EXIBIT 5) [redacted] ’s liability shall be exclusively limited to an amount equal to the reservation fee and that [redacted] LLC shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from any breach of contractWe understand that this caused an inconvenience to the customerWe are sorry that this situation occurred, although we run a very nice fleet that we have a full time mechanic constantly keeping up with the maintenance on our fleet and do our best to eliminate any possible unforeseen problems that could arise and affect a tripAlthough the mechanical malfunction of the vehicle was unable to be controlled by our company regardless if all procedures were followed correctly due to the vehicles being man made machines that do break without warning We did offer the time missed to be used from 2:30AM-4:30AM as per the contract to remedy the situation as agreed to in the contract The customer stated that he did not want the limo that lateTherefore, as an in good kind faith gesture our company told [redacted] that we would give him a credit at our company in the full amount that he paid to use our service again in the future because we were extremely sorry for what happened that nightAlthough the credit was declined by [redacted] We can not further extend anything more to remedy this situation

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below I received one phone call from an [redacted] but as he left no number to return a phone call, there was no way for me to get in touch with himI want a refund on the use of the vehicle as my husband and I will never ever use their services again and I will not promote their services As I work for a state agency, answering my cell phone during work is not permitted, hence a return number left on a voice mail would have permitted me to return a call during an afternoon breakBut again, no number was providedService was the worst I have ever received from a businessDisgraceful Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below In response to your "good faith offer", I want nothing to do with a company that says they get something similar but in reality, the quality is much poorerI do not want your free limo ride, I want the money returnedIt has now been two months and my mother never received a return call to her complaintShe, too, is ready to file a complaint but has waited to see how this turned outI reiterate, I want my money back for a service that I feel was never provided The quality of that bus was in no way, shape, or fashion to what was designed and shown at the signing of the contractAlso, need I mention the stripper pole that was in the back of the bus? How do you describe what that is for to a nine year old? I'll keep fighting this for as long as I need toI hated that busIt was the worst part of the wedding and will never recommend this company to anyone Regards, [redacted]

To whom, this may concernThank you for bringing this matter to our attentionWe have already reached a settlement agreement regarding this matter after it was already previously brought to our attention by *** before this complaint was draftedWe have already made "a good faith effort

Dear ***-
I am the owner of the company that you are referring to in your letter that I have received from the Revdex.comI recently received your communication detailing your dissatisfaction with our companyFor that I am truly sorry
You mentioned that I hung the phone up on
you when you called, although this is not trueThe phone went silent and I kept talking and no one was thereI am soory for that miscommnication; I actually thought you hung up on me
You mentioned you had pictures detailing your complaintsPlease provide pictures of the holes or cuts you mentioned in the seat and the broken blindsThey can be emailed to us at ***This will give me a better opportunity to understand what you are referring to
There is a pole that stands from the floor to the ceiling in the back of the bus that you mentionedIt serves as a safety grab bar in the event someone is standing when the bus is in motion unexpectedlyIt is no different then the polls you see in monorails or subways
It is a safety feature on our vehicleWe have had some people mistake it for a stripper pole and have thought about removing it due to that misconception, although we fell that the safety for our customers are paramount and for that we have kept them in
We have looked into the fumes you mentioned on that vehicle and it has current inspection on it was built in 2000’s not in the 60’s as you had guessedThere is nothing wrong with the vehicle mechanically and we do not notice any fumes post inspectionIf you could be more specific where these were smelled it may help us better investigate your concern
The driver does his best to navigate in between the pickup and drop off that was providedI do not see anywhere where an itinerary was provided to us ahead of time to pre plan the routeOperating a bus that’s almost feet long can be somewhat hard to do when directions are given to you last second on where you want to go with unfamiliar roads
I am sorrv but per the contract that was signed there are no cash refunds and any time, that was missed maybe made up at a mutually agreed upon date according to the service agreementWe can not extend service to you in full but then give you an almost 50% deposit
As an owner, I try to give our customers the highest level of transportation quality every timeAs a consumer myself, I know how disappointing it is to spend my hard earned dollar and not feel that it was worth whileI will assure you that in the future we will continue to push harder to give you, the customer who pays our salaries, the best productI have credited your account $toward your next reservation with us, though we hope you will come back and give us a second chance to make it up to you
Thanks, *** ***

July 21,
*** is the General Manager at our companyOur office number is on the service agreement and in the phone bookThe customer said she called our office several times before; I am confused as to why they do not know the number to have tried to call backEven though everything was provided on our end in accordance with the contract for the service, we still attempted to see how we could make the customer happy and returned her call before this claim was made with the Revdex.com
Thanks,
*** ***

As per the terms and conditions of using our services in the agreed upon contact we have done everything promised that we have retained payment forIf something was not fulfilled as per the contract please point out the specific part of the agreement that was not fulfilled and we will be happy to reevaluate our positionUntil then the “in good faith” effort still stands to provide complimentary service at a later date for the bride and groom that this reservation was made for
Thanks,

To whom this may concern:Thank you very much for bringing these matters to our attention as well as acting as a liaison, per our client’s requestPlease be aware that *** *** has initiated a number of different complaints to various organizations, including but not limited to, the Attorney Generals Office, Public Utility Commission, The Revdex.com as well as her finical institutionWe have been asked to review each complaint and respond accordinglyWell each complaint revolves around the same material issue; each complaint is slightly different in the amount of material that was presentedOur company has drafted this letter and will be sending it out to each organizationThis letter is meant to be all encompassing to cover all the complains, although since some of the complaints are as many as twenty pages in length, please bring to our attention if you feel as though further additional information is required.First and foremost, safety is a very important at our companyIn our company elected to provide "legal” transportation in PA by applying for all the correct licenses the state required as well as the correct insurances for liability on our automobilesBy us agreeing to provide “legal” transportation in PAthere are guidelines set in place per the Public Utility Commission or more loosely referred to as the PUC.Our company is checked on regular bases to make sure we are complying with all regulationsIn the summer of our company was “randomly” selected for a safety audit on our equipment, we participated and have been cleared since to operateOur safely program is on going and by no means is neglected as alleged by *** ***.Prior to *** ***s trip the vehicle underwent a pre and post trip inspection as required by the stateThe driver is responsible for this procedureIf a vehicle does not pass the pre trip inspection by the commercial licensed driver it is not permitted to leave our buildingTherefore, it passed the pre trip inspection prior to leaving, hence it was dispatched to serve the clientAs far as our obligations with our drivers the driver for this trip was a CDL licensed driver, has went through pre employment screening, is on a random drug and alcohol testing program, has a current physical and medial card on file with our company and has read all of our safety guidelines on the operation of our equipment prior to driving passengers for hireOur company has a safety program in place that makes the drivers aware of our safety policy and monitors the driversThis policy includes but is not limited to cell phone usage while operating a commercial vehicle, speeding, use of drugs and alcohol and smoking in commercial vehiclesOur company has taken all of the steps required by PA to make sure this driver was prepared for safety and educated prior to the tripOur company acknowledges the factt that a random safety inspection has taken place on this vehicle a few weeks after the completion of this tripAt this moment in time violations have been noted and anything that needed addressed or corrected has been correctedWe are in no way admitting to any fault regarding recorded violations and they are not citations as *** *** has alleged to the Attorney Generals OfficeTo address a few more of her concerns, there were a few small mechanical issues with the limo after her trip that has been corrected; we have no reason to believe they existed during her trip due to it passing the pre trip inspectionA limo is a man made machine and we continually are purchasing parts and fixing items on our vehicles as they are in useIt is not unusually for a vehicle to have something come up in an inspectionThe vehicles are inspected by state garages semi annually as wellAlso, our company keeps all of our maintenance records for tax purposes for vehicle maintenanceAt the time of the PUC inspection this was not provided, as the lady in charge of that file was unexpectedly not at work and in the emergency room with a sick family member.Initially fueling these accusations was ***'s dissatisfaction with our billing procedures which she placed a call into our company after her rentalIn ***’s list of complaints she noted the limo had balled tires and was unsafeAlthough, I was not the driver for this trip, I was the person at the corporation responsible for purchasing four brand new tires for this Hummer limo that served her on her date of rentalDunn Tire mounted the brand new tires on the limo that was used for her rental a few weeks before the rental occurred, that of which we have receipts for proofDue to ***'s dishonesty about the tires, it is a representation of ***’s characterThe fact that *** lied about the condition, of the tires, makes it impossible for us to believe what may or may not be factual concerning the accusations that she has presented to us.Next, our company would like to detail the contract dispute that *** has with our company*** called in to book our services on September 1, for service on September 26, At that time *** was made aware that the deposit was 50% and the rest was due days before her eventTherefore, since it was already within days a full payment was dueOur company made a special exception to accommodate ***, jeopardizing our inventory and cash flow at our company, allowing her to pay the balance days before as she noted she had to collect from several people that were helping her pay for the serviceOur company sent *** a copy of the contract that detailed the terms of using our service on September 1, 2015, *** sent back the copy on September 4,At no time was it ever bought to our attention that *** did not agree with the terms of service and or wanted to cancel the reservationWith our margins very small and our overhead continually increasing credit card processing fees are a large concern at our company because they can be as high as four percent of the total billWhile our company typically absorbs the processing fees for the initial deposit of 50%, as we did in this circumstance, our company can not absorb all the feesAs noted on the contract *** could have sent a check for final payment to our corporate office for the final balance and avoid any added processing and handling fees*** elected not to do so and for the added convenience of applying the second 50% charge on her credit card she incurred an additional charge of $which she had agreed to prior to this charge being applied*** again was made aware of this prior to when the balance was due to make this payment and she was given every opportunity far enough, in, advance to arrange for
another means of payment, although elected not to.*** alleges that the vehicle was to seat people in her complaint, where clearly on the contract the passenger seating capacity given to her prior to her trip is far less than that number*** secured our services until 11PM*** called our company and stated that the limo did not arrive back until 12:15AMTherefore, her overtime was billed (2) separate one hour blocks of timeAs stated on her contract it says each additional hour of overtime is $per hour, and we charge in one hour blocks of timeThe contract further states as follows,*Your card is held on file for potential charges to be applied after your event Purchaser authorizes charges after the rental to their card on file for anything stolen from the vehicle, any damage done to the vehicle by themselves, invited or uninvited guests and/or any overtime hours.*** placed her visa card on file ending in authorizing our company to charge the card for any overtime that she occurred or any damage to the vehicle by guests of the limoThe driver indicated to our company that they assisted in helping him find their way home and were successful and got him lostThe driver was not provide with an itinerary ahead of time and therefore relied on the passengers to help assist himWe allow our customers to provide detailed routes or itineraries ahead of time, although the client did not in this circumstance*** was billed for two, one hour blocks of overtime as per her contact based upon her statement to myself the limo completed service at 12:15AM.*** unhappy with the fact that she was charged for overtime, fraudulently canceled her credit card when she was informed that there was damage done to the vehicle, In good faith we extended service to *** with a credit card on file for any incidentals***’s passengers, through excessive force upon entering or exiting the vehicle, broke the clips on the back of the passenger rear door panelThe estimated cost for repair totaled $When our company attempted to process this payment it was declinedWe have not received this payment from ***, upon a number of attemptsAs of now ***’s balance owed to our company is $Enclosed we have provided a copy of ***'s billing and contractIf *** was unhappy with the factt that she was billed overtime, this by no means gave her the right to fraudulently cancel her credit card in an attempt to not have to pay for damages to our vehicle.I would like to note that at one point in time *** called into our office prior to service to inquire about adding an extra hour of service to her rentalShe informed me she was not paying $for an additional hour as she could not afford that and instead she wanted to adjust the times of her rentalThis is an unfortunate circumstance of a contract dispute with an unsatisfied client that should not have contracted services that she could not afford to pay forAlso, *** made many accusations, that of which she was never even a passenger in the vehicle or rode in the vehicle.Finally, we have been made aware by *** that a “***” listing online is an inaccurate address for our companyOur company did not setup the "‘***” listingI believe at one point, we actually had to claim the listing as our own due to someone else creating itWe have contracted our web designer to reach out to “***” and asked them to edit informationOur company did not create that business listing and we deny any
allegations made by *** associated with this information she has presented.Unfortunately we are unable to honor ***’s request for any reimbursement, we do not accept any liability or responsibility as detailed on the contract for any consequential damages arising from ***’s rentalAs of now ***’s account reflects a past and over balance of $that must be made payable to our company.Finally, *** alleges that we ruin events, using a small handful of other negative reviews that she has read online to try to enforce this claimThose negative reviews have not all been proven to be correct, factual or even by real clientsI will be the first to admit that we are not always perfect and sometimes mistakes are madeWe welcome constructive negative reviews as they sometimes help us improve future customer’s experiencesOur company has between fifty and one hundred hand written thank you letters that have been sent to our office from customers on display that were more than happy with their experience with our companyWe also have at least as many online positive reviewsWe have transported an estimated eighty thousand people since our inception and have come into contact with hundreds of thousands more receiving quotes and doing business in other forms, we do our best to make sure that each and every person our company comes in contact with has a positive experienceAlthough, we do understand that sometimes it is impossible to please every single client and in this circumstance sadly this is the case.Respectfully,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
** (which is the name given on my voicemail, the only one received) never stated that he was the General Manager or to have him return his call at the officeHe just stated that he had talked to Matt and was returning my callHad he said please return my call at the office, I would have known to call the main office and it would have been helpful to know he was the GMI still have the only voicemail received on my phoneThe more time that this goes by, the worse the customer service send to getI just want a refundPlain and simpleI feel the correct and ordered service was not givenI just want it made rightI used Barnes Limo based off a reputation and feel that was a mistake now because the reputation was not lived up to

Thank you very much for facilitating in this matter to help resolve any issues this customer has brought to our attentionAfter review our company does
not agree with the stance of this customer has taken
First off, I am the owner and I dealt with the booking for this reservationAt no point was I ever rude to the customer when she booked the trip, during or afterIt is hard to believe someone would book a trip with a person that is taking the reservation if they are rude in the first place at the time of booking as the customer mentioned
I do not understand how the customer “believes” as though she was overchargedAll charges are documented on her reservation and were quoted to her prior to bookingOur rates are the most competitive in townShe paid $all inclusive for hours of service from door to door for a stretch hummer limoWe also had minutes of travel to her and back from herThis correlates to $per hour (including all fees minimum gratuity and any applicable taxes), for a stretch hummer limoThe industry standard for this vehicle in the US averages between $and as much as $per hour
The customer noted her contract was sent over in a JPG according to the document, if this was a concern and would have been addressed prior to the rental we would have been happy to send it in another format, we also have the capability to mail, email and/or faxThe customer executed the contract and sent it back to our office via faxThe company also never guaranteed the color of the hummer limo and no where does it say in the agreement the color of the limoAfter all trips our cars are completely detailed and odorlessThe customer’s claim is subjective to her opinion and the company
does disagree with her standpointWe pride ourselves on having very nice, expensive well kept limousines and if anyone would like to make an appointment to view them we would be more then happy to give anyone a tour of our fleetAs far as the AC issue is concerned and radio I am unaware of any problems, but we will have our mechanic look it over to be certain to maintain high standards for future rentals
The customers card was billed an added $when she stopped payment on her credit card for the services we provided, as it states it would in the contractWhen a customer initiates a stop payment on their credit card we pass along the fee the credit card company charges us as per the contract she signed with usAs long as we have billed correctly in accordance with the agreement our company should not have to pay a fee when the customer stops payment on her card, therefore it is passed to the customerIf the customer is found to be entitled to a refund by the credit card company the $will be refunded and our company will incur the fee
Lastly, the customer called in and made mention that she was not 100% satisfied with the service, but at that time never mentioned any expectations of a refundWe informed her that we would be happy to give her a discount on her next trip with us and we would make note of it in her file, and she said thank you
We have been in business since and service almost customers per year, we take pride in our work and stand behind our service if a mistake is made that justifies a refundUnfortunately, in this circumstance we have done everything according to the agreement and a refund is not justified but as a courtesy and in good faith we would be happy to do something special for this customer the next time they hook an event
Thanks for your time in this matter,

I am not surprised at Barnes Limosines response!!!!!! THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY ONLY WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FOR THE MONEY $$$$$
THEY OVERCHARGED MY VISA $832.00+ For FRAUDULANT CHARGES!!!! I JUST RECEIVED YET ANOTHER FRAUDULANT BILL TO PAY IN THE AMOUNT OF $ 666.95!! THIS AMOUNT WAS FOR A SUPPOSED BROKEN DOOR HANDLE THAT THE PUC OFFICER SAID WAS A TOTAL LIE!
DO NOT EVER GIVE THIS COMPANY A CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!!! THEY STATE THAT YOU PAY HALF, THEN SIGN THE CONTRACT, THEN PAY THE OTHER HALF IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SIGN CONTRACT YOU LOOSE FIRST HALF!! IF YOU GO THROUGH WITH SIGNING CONGRACT HE THEN CHARGES 7% ONTO YOUR BILL FOR SPLITTING YHE AMOUNT!!!
STAY FAR AWAY!!!

I have attached our terms and conditions that *** has agreed to when, renting our vehicleAny concerns that she originally had we addressed them all and have billed according to her signed contract with usBringing up other past clients concerns posted online is not justifiable because they have no relevance whatsoever in regards to her trip nor was she present on those trips to make a statement regardingWe are on track this year to do somewhere between and trips in total for We have been in business for yearsTo have less then .01% complainants I think we are doing an excellent jobWe have done everything we could to make this client happy in regards to the signed agreement that she agreed to
*** mentions that she received the $back from her credit card, as if we were wrong*** was issued a temporary credit that of which is in the process of being reversed
The complaints that she had her friend’s write that were attached, also very and are inaccurateIn one complaint the person stated, “While the driver was both professional and punctual...” although the next complaint written by a different person that experienced the same service, was in the same group and limo says the driver was unprofessional and rude
As a business owner it makes it hard for me to respond to complaints that very and contradict each other regarding the same issues
I have highlighted key areas in the contract that address this customers concerns
Thanks,

Thank you very much for bringing this matter to our attention as well as acting as a source to mediate between the client and our companyAfter a through review of the facts we respectfully disagree with many of the accusations made by the clientDue to the complexity of this complaint and in
an attempt to avoid unjust confrontation, we will be sending documentation to the client’s bank to be forwarded to the client regarding her accusations and concerns with regards to this matterThank you very much for your attentiveness to the matter.Walten Point Productions & Barnes Limo

To whom it may concern -
Even though this complaint was not filed by a customer that we have an agreement with, I think from a business
standpoint it is still important to address the issue brought to our attention by the bride, whose mother rented from our company
The following statements do not confirm or deny any fault regarding this matter, although after researching this trip our company has concluded the following:
The unit they rented that day does have working ACIt blows from the front of the vehicleOn an extremely warm day with over 20+ people in the bus, many in full tuxedos it may not cool as efficiently as a regular carOur company is currently researching whether or not another AC unit should be added to the top of the coachAlthough, adding another AC unit to limos and busses is not standard practice in the industry, it is something we are still consideringWe do apologize if the party was not 100% comfortable given the circumstances of the heat outside, attire worn by the group on that hot day etc
As far as the bus having chipped or cracked paint, our vehicles get touched up once to twice a year by a body shop and the exterior was redone just a few weeks ago, I .am not sure if it was before or after their tripIt currently has a near perfect exterior
The driver that drove that vehicle that day did have experience driving that vehicle in the past and therefore I am not sure why or if he told the customer he had not driven it before, but we will be following up with the driver for an explanation
It is true that the bridal party was dropped off in the back of the parking lotIt was
not 1/mile away from the entrance of the building as noted by the customer, rather closer to feetOur vehicles only travel on roadways and once not on a roadway our drivers are instructed not to take any chances with taking a vehicle into a place where they are not sure if it could harm the vehicle or pose any danger to the customersThe customers were dropped off about feet from the entrance to the building at the back of the parking lot and it was done for the safety of the vehicle and customers as it was no longer on a roadwayWhether or not it could have made it or not is not a chance we take when it comes to safety in all circumstancesI believe the bus could have made it but the driver, at his discretion makes the final decision in the moment
We agree that someone gave the driver a bag of items to be given to the brideThe driver placed it on the seating in the busThe driver has stated to the company that, “a invited guest on the bus picked it up and was taking it off the bus and he told the lady that the bag is for the bride and the women said ok and took it off the bus.” In the contract we are not responsible for items on the bus or left behind that are the customers, although we do our best to try to keep them safe and secureI think in this circumstance an invited guest took the bag off the bus but potentially might not have given it to the bride, misplaced it or forgot about itWe do not have any left over items from this trip but we are more then happy to allow the customer to come to the office to check our lost and found
Lastly, it’s noted that the customer feels as though the bus is not as nice as the ones we showed them when they bookedIt is a limo bus that resembles a couch bus from the outsideIt is larger and our opinion, nicer then the ones we have had in the pastIt is not a modified bus as noted from the customer; it is made by craftsman, a reputable coach builderThe MSRP of the bus was over $100,That is one of the current buses we run in our fleet and also pictured on our websiteWe have nothing to hide and take pride in that bus and is marketed again on our website and on our social media pagesAs we tell all customers, if you book a vehicle years in advance there might he chance we will be running a different vehicle as we change them out to update them
My General Manager has called them back twice to discuss their trip and has received their voicemail each time
Everything was handled in accordance with the agreement and if the bride and groom would like to use one of our limos to go out to dinner locally before the end of the year as a couple we will be happy to comp their reservation as a sign of good faith
