JA Woods were the coach company we hired to deliver all the transport needs of our recent residential summer school at The University of Hull Scarborough Campus. We sometimes made complex and challenging demands with multiple pick-ups and changing times. JA Woods delivered a perfect service and went the 'extra mile' to ensure everything went to plan. I can heartily recommend them. Get hold of the main man - Niel - he will make sure you get great customer service. Well done JA Woods!
I had booked several trips with Neil of J.A.Wood for a group of 19 German hikers who did different tours around the North York Moors. Neil was always on time or even early and very flexible when we had to be "rescued" because we finished our hiking tours earlier than planned. I can recommend this excellent service and will definitely book again for the next trip to this area.
Emmanuel St John's Church Leisure & Pleasure Group enjoyed a pleasant and comfortable journey to and from Goathland on Thursday June 7th 2012. We appreciated Neil's friendly and courteous assistance which made for an enjoyable afternoon. We can recommend J A Wood Coaches. Joan, Secretary.
Thank you Neil and JA Wood Coaches for a very professional service. We came from Dublin and got our airport/hotel transfers, plus hiring a bus for a day trip to Whitby, all without any hassle or trouble. Thanks for the little diversion to give us the best view of Scarborough... Much appreciated. Kind Regards from Cathy R and the Dancers from Dublin.
I recently hired Neil to collect a group from Leeds/bradford airport who were travelling from Dublin to Scarborough.I also arranged for a group of 57 to go to Whitby for the day whilst we were staying in Scarborough. His professional approach, excellent customer service skills and competitive prices were second to none. I would highly recommend his coach company.
We are a fairly new theatre group and after ringing round various companies we found JA Wood who were very competitive price wise. Neil is extremely helpful, pleasant and good fun. The coach is comfortable and clean. We have been to the Alhambra in Bradford and the Theatre Royal in York. Both times Neil has been on time and gone the extra mile to accommodate pick ups and drop offs, nothing seems to be too much trouble. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Laraine
We used the minibus to take us, a group of 18 year olds to Hull docks, the driver knew where we wanted to be and even joined in with the banter on the way. The efficient service is definitely worth mentioning as I was supplied with everything I needed promptly. Both drivers were very friendly, even when we strolled back onto the coach after a somewhat heavy weekend... I would recommend this coach service to anybody planning an excursion, there is nothing I can say but how great this coach hire is. We intend to use the company again in future, superb.
I ran a trip to Harrogate in November and JA Wood did a good job. The coach was on time, it was clean and the driver was pleasant. Will certainly use them again.
Went to Harrogate in November with JA Wood and the service was excellent. Coach was on time, it was clean and smart and the driver was pleasant. Will definately use them again.
We used JA Wood Coaches for our residential trip to and from Scarborough, as well as day trips to Filey and Whitby. The service provided was prompt and friendly and we will definitely be booking again next year. Many thanks to Neil from all at Rawmarsh Ashwood School
A group of 20 of us travelled down to manchester in july for my hen night we used j a woods coaches and would 100 percent use them again, very friendly and efficient!!!
We have used JA Woods coaches, to transport a group of twelve people to the last night of the proms at Castle Howard, for the last five years. The service is extremely efficient, Neil is very helpful and we wouldn't use anyone else.
thank you for the service you gave us on the 9th July 2011. The driver was punctual, helpful and courteous to all our guests. should we require the services of a coach hire company again we will be using your company. Thank you. Mr and Mrs Kevin Humphries
J.A. Wood coaches were fantastic! I am a head teacher from Cambridgeshire who came up to Scarborough for a visit with 14 children. Hiring J.A woods was easy and very reliable. It was great to see a friendly face at the end of the day on the beach to pick us up! The coach was very clean and a great driver called Neil. Thank you. Kirsty Gray
We hired the limousine service and what service we got, it was my mums 80th, and Dave the driver was fantastic making my mum feel very special he went that extra mile to make sure everything was just perfect. When we step in to the limousine it was everything we could have wished for and more. Lynne the lady i booked it with was helpful and answered all my questions the servive we recieved from the very start was outstanding. so a great big thank you from the makepeace family
We have used Wood's coaches on several occasions over the last few years and found them to be excellent. The standard of the coaches is very high and the customer care is outstanding. The occasions when we have used their services have been highly sensitive, such as showing judges round the town and the coach company played an integral part in our winning Britain's most Enterprising Town. I would be keen to reccommend them.
For many years the Scarborough Campus of the University of Hull has used the above named company to provide tours of Scarborough for visitors to its Open Days. These are held on a number of occasions throughout the year and are attended by prospective students and parents. Since October 2008 I have worked closely with Mr Neil Maiden as proprietor of J. A. Wood Coaches to provide these tours of the town on behalf of the University and have found his customer service to be exemplary. He has also helped our student ambassadors who accompany the tours by contributing his own extensive knowledge of the area. In that time Mr Maiden has demonstrated a real commitment to providing a quality experience to visitors to the town. He has true passion for, Scarborough and the surrounding area, and seeks to promote all the positive features to visitors. In short, I have always found that J. A, Wood coaches, and Mr Maiden in particular, offer the highest standards of service.
