Mad Mike’s Key Cab

For your consideration should you find yourself needing a taxi service in Sarasota:
On ⁷⁄₂₆ around noon, we are driving on Tamiami around Proctor and watched Mike’s van come from the right lane and cut across four lanes of traffic on a green light to make a LEFT hand turn. Everyone at the intersection slammed on their brakes to avoid hitting this guy. The driver promptly rolled the window in the middle of the intersection and stuck his middle finger out and waved it at everyone who he had almost just hit. As if all of us had done something wrong.
As a local business owner myself, I thought I would let Mad Mike know about this considering his logo and phone number was all over the van. If a driver from my business acted in this way I would want to know immediately.
The next day I call the number on the van and asked for the business owner. After some evasiveness, the person who answered the phone claimed that he WAS in fact the business owner. So after explaining to «Mad Mike» the events that had transpired the day before he proceeded to tell me, «As long as [he] didn’t cause an accident that’s all that matters» and «if I could see you now I would flip you off too»
The issue at hand is not whether there was an accident caused, it’s the utter lack of professional conduct, respect for one’s own business and following the rules of the road, which, when hiring a taxi service, is something I would like to assume is being respected.
I just thought that anyone who would consider the aforementioned as «good business practice» should probably not be in business. I’ll be calling Über if I ever need a car service and judging by the way Mad Mike handles business, I would recommend you do the same.

Mike was our savior! We had a 5:20 flight to catch from SRQ, and it was around 4:15 when we rang him from Crescent Beach. When he asked when we wanted to be picked up as we said as soon as possible, he actually came as soon as possible! He even was waiting for us. And instead of just driving off after not finding us right away, he stuck around and even was looking for us around other parts of the property. What a nice guy! My experiences with cabbies are not the best (yesterday was waiting for Johnny’s for 45 mins when I just decided to drive myself-​after calling numerous times and trying to cancel and they kept insisting they were «right there»…But that’s another review), but Mike put all faith back! I would def ring him again if needed, or just specifically for the airport! Thanks, Mike. And next time you can bring Colt. ;)
