Hit and run, two years ago now, still seeing consultants, and talking to the police, they are cowards and a horror show, avoid like the plague..........

I have used Goodwins Taxis for over 15years , before i retired i used on daily basis twice a day, since retiring aleast four time a week on average. The drivers I have encountered are always very polite, helpful and respectful. One driver in particular who i see regularly when i am shopping in chorlton is called Kamel, he is a very considerate and kind individual who goes out of his way to help, as i have mobility problems. He is not the only driver like this but i felt i neede to mention him in particular. Only once over the many years have i experienced a rude driver who smoked while he was driving me and was rude towards me and treated me with disrespecthowever i would not allow one experience to spoil it for the many good drivers. Please pass this message on to the drivers. Maureen .

I have been using Goodwins Olympic for many years now but this is the last time. I have always wanted to support a local business and have resisted what a lot of my friends have done in moving to using the well known online taxi company but have just downloaded the app.
We booked a taxi for 4am last Saturday to go to the airport. At 5 past it had not turned up so we phoned the operator. He assured me that it was running only 5-10 minutes late as he had another airport drop-off. I asked was it really 5-10 minutes and the operator assured me is was as the guy was on his way. A full 20 minutes later we got a call from the driver saying he was outside our house waiting. He wasn’t as we had been there waiting in the rain for 20 minutes – he actually arrived a further 5 minutes later. We got in and he drove for about 100 metres then stopped and told us he couldn’t take us to the Departures as he had to wait a further 30 minutes after the last drop off . Surely the company should have known this and should not have accepted both bookings ? We persuaded him to start driving to the airport as he seemed reluctant to do that until we insisted. We phoned the operator again and they told us the driver could drop us at arrivals instead but he would give us a ‘big’ discount for the inconvenience of being so late and dropping us in the wrong place. Instead the driver asked us for £25 which is much more than we usually pay. We nearly missed our plane (the gate had been closed) because of this I will never use Goodwins Olympic again.

Shockingly bad. Would give no stars if possible. 40 mins late, arrogant, offensive, with no apology
