He wasn't reluctant to use it, simply didn't have a great grasp of English. Is this a one off, as I was lead to believe they were a premium mini-cab company?
In my experience (only used about five times so far) that is a one off. The English has not always been great but the cars have been clean and air-conditioned and turned up on time. I would complain if I were you.
