The company is determined to keep the well-known local number of 65852100, but for the next couple of weeks, they urge customers to book their taxi by dialling 131008 option 2.
“We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience over the past week when dialling our usual 65852100 number,” said co-owner Lyn Rea.
“This is due to circumstances that involve external communications providers and line issues. We are endeavouring to rectify this issue as soon as possible.
“We value all our customers who rely upon us to provide a first-class taxi service.”
Wauchope Taxis have been a stalwart in the community since the 1930s. October saw new owners take over the business.
“We are proud to continue and promote a locally owned and operated philosophy, and we recently bought a brand-new wheelchair-accessible Tarago Flashcab,” said Lyn Rea.
“The same happy, familiar drivers will be retained, with new faces added as we grow. We’d like to thank the previous owners, Alan Clulow, Roger Hale and Len Kirkman for their help throughout the change-over process, and we wish them all the best for their future retirement,” she added.
