The webmaster just experienced his first ever earthquake!
Well, my chair moved for a split second anyway, but then my friend called to tell me there had been an earthquake the other side of the city, only 2.8 on the Richter scale though so no need to send cash aid just yet. Well, you can use your discretion of course.....send all donations to Robin, bank A/C no. ..........
We are often on the lookout for new drivers as the business grows. Having recently taken on an exciting new contract we are currently looking for drivers to spread the workload between the team.
So if you enjoy driving and meeting new people from all walks of life, have spare time on your hands and want to earn some extra cash you may be interested?
No experience or own vehicle required, however good knowledge of the local area is essential and knowledge of airports and London would be preferred.
If you are or know anyone who may be interested in sub-contracting to Wing Cars please contact us for more details.
We've all been there, the gas bill drops through the letterbox and straight away we run and check the meter to see if the estimate is accurate. Why? We trust meters, don't we? Well this is apparently not always the case. We have received numerous reports of extortionate fees being charged in metered taxis, and people pay because "it's what the meter said". BEWARE! A meter in a cab can be changed to suit the drivers pocket. There are different rates to be charged at different times of day/year e.g you would expect to pay double time on christmas day, but not on a sunday afternoon in october..... We have been told that on some occasions where the drivers have been challenged on the price they can become hostile and somewhat intimidating. So if you feel that you have been the victim of a scam like this, there is something you can do. take the licence number of the vehicle (on the plate on the rear of the vehicle) and report it to the local authority.
When our 'competitors' operate in this manner it can give our industry a bad name, and you a lighter wallet.
We do not use a meter in our vehicles and prices can usually be agreed prior to any journey being undertaken and we have fixed rates for most of our journeys so you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will pay the same expensive price every time!
Its that time of year again
Whilst he stops short of wearing his pants outside his overalls, we still recognise the hero qualities of our expert tyre supplier and fitter, Chris Figg of MK Tyres. Chris has sourced winter tyres for all of our vehicles to ensure that our customers are as safe as possible on the roads this winter. Chris says that "the misconception is that it has to be snowing for winter tyres to be required but an ordinary tyre hardens when the temperature drops below 7 degrees, this can reduce grip and increase stopping diistances. A winter tyre is also very little difference in cost to a normal tyre and what price can you put on your safety?"
If you want more info on winter tyres, please contact Chris or the team on 01525 373740
We think our service is the best you will find in the western world (and maybe even Bethlehem?) and it wont cost you a fortune! As a result we would like your feedback, good and bad on the service you have received from Wing Cars. This may help customers who are unsure as to why our service is so popular realise why we are THE private hire company that customers come back to time and again, year after year, decade after decade!
So come on, tell us what you think. Look on our new TESTIMONIALS page to feedback your views.
Our website is under a year old and it has just achieved another milestone, we have now surpassed 1000 unique visitors to our site. We have been visited by people in 27 countries (we're expanding but not quite that far....yet!) and we seem to be particularly popular in The town of Bethlehem! Bethlehem, Pennsylvania that is (oddly enough it's in the county of Northampton). We are still waiting for our first booking from overseas but the world is a smaller place these days so who knows???
Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank anyone who visits the site, we hope you found it useful and maybe even amusing? The feedback we have received thus far has been brilliant. Thanks again
