It can be very difficult to get cabs in the JP/Roslindale neighborhoods... that is if you don't…read moreknow about Forest Hills Taxi. They are a local company and both reliable and quick to arrive. They usually have several cabs waiting at Forest Hills MBTA station and arrive at my house within 10 mins. when I call. The dispatchers are crotchety as all Hell... you give them your address and they bark out "look for the cab" and hang up on you. So, if you need to know specific time frame, make sure you ask at the beginning of the conversation.

So, yeah, I was sure I had already written a review for Forest Hills Taxi. I guess I hadn't. See,…read morewhen I moved to Boston a year and a half ago, Forest Hills Taxi was the beez-fucking-kneez. They were usually at my house (in Rozzie Square) in like 5 minutes, no qualms no bullshit. So, I thought I'd given them this GD glowing review and felt the need to correct that shit straight away. Anyway, this is the update to a review that was never written, I guess. Memory FAIL. Anyway, so, after my initially bitchin' first impression of them, like a relationship that goes south well before you acknowledge it, shit slowly started to deteriorate. They became less reliable, took longer to arrive. I'd have to call them multiple times just to get them to come, and in some cases it'd be like 45 fucking minutes. And now sometimes, they just don't even answer the fucking phone! So, in the span of like 18 months they've gone from 5 stars to borderline 2. They're pretty GD close to 1 star right, now. The reason I give them 2, is that it's still worth it to give them a call. And if by their infinite grace they actually decide to answer the GD phone, they might actually still dispatch a cab quickly. So, I'll still call them first, but I feel no guilt if they show up and I've left in another company's cab. Cab Karma, mother fuckers!

There was only one review of this company so I was suspicious that it might have been written by…read morethe owner or a friend. None-the-less, I decided to give him a try. And was pleasantly surprised. I called to arrange a pickup from Roslindale to the airport for the next afternoon at 4 PM. Fred took the call and told us he'd be there. The next afternoon, I called at 3 PM to confirm and said he was welcome to come as early as 3:30. He was here at 3:25 and called us from outside to say he was there. The cab was clean and quiet and we had a nice chat on our way to the airport. He offered to pick us up a week later so I e-mailed him our flight info. He confirmed receipt. I e-mailed him that afternoon to confirm and called him when the plane touched down. By the time we'd cleared baggage, he was waiting for us in the limo lot. Again a smooth safe ride home and he even told me about a good new sub shop in the area. I cannot speak too highly of him and I've already recommended him to a friend. This is the way service is supposed to be.

I have used this taxi service six or seven times now and they have never arrived less than a half…read morehour late. A few times they have arrived over an hour after when they said they would. I always call after 10 minutes past their expected arrival time and every single time I am told "the driver is on his way, give him a couple minutes" only to wait another half hour to an hour. Several times I have called up to 4 times while waiting an incredibly long time and am given the exact same line each time. I have even tried calling ahead to schedule a taxi pick up at a set time, only to be told 20 minutes after the scheduled time, that "the driver is on his way, give him a couple minutes". I have tried using this service on almost every day of the week, not just busy weekend times, and the service is always horrible. The drivers have always been very nice and very pleasant, but do NOT use this service unless you are prepared to wait an hour and a half for a taxi that is "about 10 minutes" away.

They texted me a polite reminder they were coming that morning, were on time, and notified me of their arrival promptly. The vehicle was impeccably clean, and even had bottled water available if I wanted it! The most courteous driver you could hope for; we had a most pleasant chat to the airport - and despite heavy traffic, and construction blocks - he knew exactly how to get around them without stress. He shared with me that the cab drivers own their vehicles and are responsible for them, which impressed me because it shows their commitment to 'old-fashioned' quality service. I 100% recommend them, and will use them again in the future.

The driver was over 45 minutes late, making me late for a work dinner. The dispatcher was entirely unhelpful, just telling me to "give him some time". That's not why you call in advance. You call in advance so that you are picked up when you need to be picked up. Every time I called (3 times altogether) she told me he was 5 minutes away. Unfortunately I was stuck as I called around to other taxis and either nobody was in Rozzie or couldn't come for at least 30 minutes. When the driver finally arrived, the rear passenger side door was smashed in, and there was no sign on the car. I had no idea this was a gypsy cab company. I saw no meter, no permit when I got in the car so I immediately asked if they take credit cards. The driver said yes, and I said ok, so off we went. When we arrived at the Seaport I handed him my card and he looked at it and said "sorry we don't take cards". That's why I asked you when I got in the car!! Which I told him. Good thing I had cash for the $27 fare. I tipped about 15%. Couldn't blame he guy; traffic was bad and the dispatcher was the real problem. But to say you take cards and once at the destination say something else, well, that was the driver. I wouldn't have paid him at all if I didn't have the cash. Go ahead and arrest me, but if I hadn't had the cash that guy would have been SOL. Do not use them. Unreliable and entirely sketchy!
