Lavdas Limousines

I like taking a limo to Detroit metro for vacation — nice way to start off and you can shave you time down since you wont be driving all over for parking. Leaving for Mexico 5 am — they didn’t show ! Finally got a hold of someone (owner or manager?) — they had no one to send either — I was completely HOSED. Asked «how can you do this to me — he replied — it wasn’t me it was your driver». Didn’t accept any responsibility for mess just blamed the driver. Had to pack family up car and drive (very quickly!) to find parking (I’m an hour north of metro) — almost ran out of time for flight — what a mess — will never call again.

This company is terrible. I stood in a wedding and watched there driver back into a guests (family members) vehicle. I witnessed there driver get out,
Apologize, and accept all responsibility for what she had done. Months later, LAVDAS refuses to accept responsibility for what there driver has done. They’re denying EVERYTHING even with a ton of witnesses. This is bad business. Trust me when I say, go elsewhere. Anybody that treats there customers like this shouldn’t be doing business. You have been warned.

We hired Lavdas to take my 14 yr old daughter (and 21 friends!) to Homecoming. What a great experience! Our driver was Greg, and he was very professional and the kids really enjoed him. He arrived early and drove the kids anywhere we said. The price for the 22 person Hummer was competitive, and everything went just as expected. We will use them next year, and recommend them highly.

I hired Lavdas for my boyfriends birthday and we had such a great time! They took us all over without one complaint. Very nice and professional. I will definitely be using them again in the future. 5 stars!

I hired Lavdas this past weekend for my parents anniversary and I couldn’t be more please with their service! They arrived early, very professional, and very polite! We had a great time. I’ll be sure to recommend this company and use them next time!

My niece’s wedding was last Sunday and the limo air conditioning was not working. Can you imagine on a hot humid 90 degree day in your wedding gown not having any air conditioning. There were two little children in the limo too. All the girls makeup was ruined and their hair fell. The driver told them «you will be OK». This is unacceptable. The driver had a portable fan on him so he knew there was no air conditioning. They should make sure their air is working before they leave or get another limo. You have to pay in advance. When my sister in law complained they said «what would you like us to do». She wanted some fees back but nothing yet. Just a warning before you rent with this company make sure the air is working on a hot day.

Great job with prom Lavdas! You got the whole gang there and back without a hitch.
All the parents really appreciate the safe ride you gave our kids.

I DID NOT HIRE LAVDAS for my wedding day limo service. I made a point to stay away from Lavdas because of the many bad reviews on the web. To my surprise Lavdas shows up to my wedding! The driver told me the Limo company I hired contracted my wedding to them! WHAT!!! Let me tell you the bad reviews are all correct. We got a car with NO A.C. and the radio barely worked. Plus the car looked like it had a lot of miles on it, A LOT! And on top of it all the price we were given from the company I hired included a $ 100 tip. The sister of the bride paid him with tip when he picked up the bridesmaids. Later on the driver told me he was not tipped so I gave him $ 100. Come to find out we gave the guy a $ 200 tip! HE DIDNT DESERVE! He wasn’t even supposed to be there!!!
To add more salt to a wound. The hotel the wedding party stayed at contracted lavdas as a complimentary shuttle service for my party to and from the hall. (Must have been my lucky day!) First they told my guest they would not start shuttling them until 6:30pm. The wedding reception started at 6pm! We had the shuttle scheduled for a 5:30pm start. But it gets better! When they finally started shuttling my friends and family including my father, they took them to the wrong hall. When the passengers spoke up and told the driver he was at the wrong spot, the driver rudely told them it was the right spot and forced them off the shuttle. I’m pretty sure my dad knows where his son’s wedding is… So there they sat until another shuttle came to pick them up and bring them to the correct hall, as the wedding party sat outside the correct hall because we had to wait for my family. The shuttle finally dropped them off (2-​van loads of people) OVER AN HOUR LATE! An hour of our wedding day we will never get back because of Lavdas inefficiency’s.
And to end the evening the shuttle drivers told my guest the shuttles stop running at midnight and we had them scheduled till 1am! So quite a few guest left early to catch a shuttle that still had another hour…
I checked with the hotel and all the paperwork given to Lavsdas was correct — times, location, etc.

My wife and I recently had Lavdas supply a limo for our wedding day. We waited about 2 months before the big day to order the limo so this is probably partially on me, however I didn’t expect the limo itself to be in such poor shape. The stretch Lincoln Navigator arrived after the ceremony to pick up the wedding party and take us downtown for pictures. Out of the limo was a stocky man who seemed to be in an already bad mood. He was nice to me, but just seemed not happy to be there.
He took us downtown and I could tell he wasn’t excited to drive us around the area. It was when I had to roll the window down that I started to notice the inside of limo was really not well taken care of. THe power window button was damaged and pushed in. My finger almost got stuck in the door trying to push the button. I then noticed that the «mini bar» on the inside of the limo was also broken and one of the posts holding it up had been completely dismembered from the table top. There were multiple tears and cuts in the leather and it seemed like someone had almost given us the last possible limo they had.
The driver dropped us off at our venue and was rude to my wedding party as they were exiting the limo.
The driver later picked us up after the reception in a town car to take us to our hotel. The ride there was more enjoyable, but probably because I was asleep for half of it.
Overall I think if I had booked it earlier, a better and enjoyable experience would have taken place, but that doesn’t excuse rude service and broken equipment.

Used them for my wedding ⁹⁄₂₀₁₂. They were amazing. Very professional, on-​time, and they let us split the time so we didn’t have to pay horrendous hourly charges for a vehicle to sit outside the reception. Highly recommend! My guests really liked having a shuttle.
Also used them for my going away party for med school. They were professional, on time and the driver was awesome!

Thank you Lavdas Limousines for the great service Sunday (1-​5-​2014)! Our wedding went as planned without a hitch in the middle of the snow storm! Our chauffeur even found a shovel next to the front door of the church and cleared a little path for my wife! THAT’S WHAT I CALL WORLD CLASS SERVICE!

Fool me twice, shame on me. Two times I hired this company and both times I was completely screwed over with zero compensation.
I hired Lavdas Limo for my wedding. On my wedding day, they were 30 minutes late and did not call, leaving my groom wondering if they would ever get there, setting my wedding party behind schedule, and cutting into our precious and priceless photo shoot time, which I will never get back.
The cost of their 30 minutes of lateness is more than 30 minutes of limo time. It’s 30 minutes of photographer and videographer time, reception hall time, and worst of all was the cost of the stress it caused the groom and me on our wedding day.
The response from Lavdas when we reported our experience was «We will give the driver a write-​up. Let us know when you need a limo next, and we’ll give you a good deal.»
In the back of my mind, I thought «Never.»
Then my friend’s bachelorette party came up, and we needed a limo. For some ungodly reason, I thought I’d give Ron (the Lavdas Limo manager) a second chance and see what he could do. He offered me a deal that was not impressive. It wasn’t until I sent him a Groupon for another limo company that was significantly cheaper than the «great deal» he offered me that he matched the competitor’s price.
At that point, he was no longer doing anything to make up for the mistake they made at my wedding, they were simply matching a competitor’s price. But we signed the contract and hoped for the best.
The night of the bachelorette party, we reserved the limo from 8 to 1. It arrived at 7:52 p.m., so at least they weren’t late. That’s where the success ended. They sent us an 8 – 10 passenger car and we ordered and paid for a 14-​passenger. We had more people than would fit!
The driver didn’t know how the mistake happened. We called Ron and he said he was embarrassed and that it was all his fault. He said he double and triple checked to make sure it was right, and he didn’t know how it happened.
At 8:15 p.m., the driver left in the empty limo to take it back to Warren (40 minutes away) and get the larger car. She came back with the proper vehicle at 9:40 p.m.
We arrived at our first stop 90 minutes later than we planned, which caused 11 of us to have to pay cover at the bar due to late entry. I explained this to Ron, but he offered no compensation. He said he would give us the limo until 3:30 at «no extra charge.» We didn’t want the limo until 3:30, we ordered it until 1:00, but since Ron’s mistake set us back 2 hours, I would certainly hope he wouldn’t charge us for making up the time we had already paid him for!
Overall, this company has completely failed me twice. They’ve offered no compensation other than the verbal promise of a great deal next time, which I tried to take them up on, but they failed me again. Communicating and communicating and communicating with them STILL does not ensure you will receive the service you order and pay for.
Buyer beware — go with another company. I wish I had done so twice now. This company is managed by total fools.

I have never used their limo service. I will never use their limo service. I recommend that you find another limo company.
A gentleman driving a limo with «LAVDAS» written on side was inside a subdivision in Novi, MI. First, he didn’t look when pulling out of a round-​about and cut me off. Then at the stop sign, I don’t know if he didn’t realize I was behind him, but he didn’t go when the traffic was completely clear so I gently beeped my horn. (For clarity– I beeped one time, very quickly)
He then proceeded to stare at me via his driver side mirror with his middle finger in the air. When I pointed to the traffic that had cleared he sat there with his middle finger in the air. I backed up and proceeded to go around him. He then tried to prevent me from going around him and ran me off the paved road. Of note, he was having his road rage with passengers in his car.
Nice treatment to your paying customers– purposeful delay, swerving, attempting to hit the gas hard. I would have hated to be in the back of that limo.

We had a short run from our hotel, to the chapel then to the reception for our wedding day in September of 2012. Lavdas beat all of my other quotes and really did a great job. The driver was dressed well and very professional, we were on time for everything (He was 45 minutes early for the 1^st pickup, which lowered the brides blood pressure a bit before the wedding, which is nice), and the ride was very smooth in a very nice Cadillac Escalade that was just reworked, repainted a pure White and perfectly fit my entire wedding party with a little room to spare.
Though it was a short run, I have heard enough horror stories to know that anything can happen. Lavdas was so perfect and professional that I knew I could stop worrying once the driver showed up early and checked in with us and the hotel. Thank you again Lavdas limos, I will use your service again if/​when the need arises.

Always a great experience! Very professional and on time. We have been using Lavdas for at least 10 years and I have never once been dissapointed. I will always reccomend them!
