Horrible customer service. Old beat up cars! No A/C!

The absolute worst thing you could do for your friends and family is book a ride with SHAWN LASELY, OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATED PARTIES. Shawn is a horrible character. In my opinion he has no morals and or respect for other parties in the industry. He simply makes the hard working entrepreneurs of the transportation business look bad. Totally gives the industry a bad name! Guys like shawn make it hard for the hard working gentlemen in the industry to find clients. Meanwhile shawn rips off his customers. Letting them ride in non air conditioned vehicles in hot L.A traffic. Letting young children ride in cars with alcohol. Also driving folks around in uninsured limosiounes. A complete embarrassment to the rest of the guys doing similar gigs.

Customer service and safety should always be at the top of business priorities. Unfortunately SHAWN LASELY only cares about one thing... MONEY.
"WIZE GUY" ENTERTAINMENT IS CURRENTLY rebranding and switching their name to "LuXx city" keep an eye out for them too! Anyone associated with this guy is scum and scammers. I wouldn't recommend a blind squirrel to this guy let alone any families. GOOD LUCK OUT THERE FOLKS!

Additional booking notes

Please ensure no vehicles are left running near assigned guard posts to avoid potential health risks such as carbon monoxide exposure.

Guards must have clear visibility and an unobstructed area to monitor entrances, exits, and surroundings.

For outdoor posts, shade or weather protection is recommended where possible.

All clients are responsible for ensuring a safe environment for both guests and on-site personnel.

If additional time is needed beyond the scheduled hours, advance notice is required and may incur additional charges.

The Pitts Shield reserves the right to pause or leave a post if the guard’s safety is at risk and conditions are not addressed.
