We've been renting from speedy for years, but in the last couple of years they became more like rent-a-wreck service. We reserved a car for my son's wedding, a 3 hour drive to upstate NY. When my husband picked up car on Fri, it was fitthy, we found an empty container of leftovers with a dirty spone inside the front console, the back door handle was broken and the 92 year grandfather of the groom was unable to open the door from the inside. But more seriously, when driving to the GWB another driver rolled the window and told us that the rear wheel is about to come off. We immediatly drove to the first Gas station and were told that the car was in an accident and the rim was bent causing the tire to loose air and it could have exploded while driving it to NJ. We fixed the rim for $85. We also noticed that the "check" light on the dashboard came on and the mechanic said it could mean engine problems. We decided that it was unsafe to drive the car and got to the first rental car agency we found in NJ. We left the Speedy car in the parking lot of Hertz and got a nice clean in perfect working condition car. During the entire ordeal we called the union street location and they kept saing that "there is nothing wrong with the car". They claim that it was checked before renting it to us. Upon reterning the car on Monday, we gave them the two bills, one for the repair and one for the Hertz rental that cost us $150 extra. Two weeks later, with many phone calls to Jerry and David they refuse to reemburse us for any of our expences, Furthemore, during a conversation with David, he kept saying "that is a very intersting story you're telling me". When I told him that we had four family members in a car going to our son's wedding and we could have been serously hurt or worse, he said " don't beleive the mechanic, there was nothing wrong with the car". This company is beyond just renting dirty cars, they rent cars that are unsafe and dangerous.
Pros: none
Cons: unsafe, dirty, unproffesional service
