I wrote a review on here a while back and it’s nowhere to be found, they must have deleted it because it’s the truth. I would save your money and go somewhere else to have your child entrusted with better driver educators.

When my sister went in for her driving test, they did not have her on the books even though the appointment was made months in advance, and who did they blame? My mom and sister. The guy giving the test said something like “you’re wasting my lunch time.” They failed my sister and provided the lamest excuses for her failure. And when my mom tried to understand why he failed her, he just laughed at them and made them both feel so belittled. He made remarks on the kind of card she was paying with and their completely valid confusion and frustration.

I went here too and my experience was fine, but I was penalized on my test for stupid things as well, like not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign and when I asked which one (because I would have remembered if my stop wasn’t complete at a stop sign), he gave me a very vague answer and kind of avoided the question.

Your child deserves a safe and nonjudgmental environment when it comes to driving, especially when it comes to the big test. There are definitely more reliable places to go to in this town. Save your money and your child’s well being. 🙂

Absolutely recommend them. Had no issues getting an appointment scheduled and the person who was on the phone was very polite. I’ve been here a few times with friends and my daughter and every single time was great. Everyone was friendly and professional. My daughter struggles with test anxiety and said she was very comfortable here and was at ease with the staff. I cannot praise them enough for how great they were. He patiently answered all of our questions and was a pleasure. In reference to other reviews regarding the parking, yes it’s a bit confusing and often hard to find a place to park (it’s a busy and congested part of town), however; he was very polite in explaining to us where we should park. And it does explain if the website where to park. Please keep in mind that they are taking unlicensed and often not very experienced drivers on a public road in vehicles that weigh a lot, it’s a serious situation and should be treated that way. I appreciate that they take it serious here, but with a great demeanor. Great job guys. I’ll be sending everyone I know your way. Ps. He has the best rates also

The lady on the phone was very helpful. The guy that gave my son his test, no clue because he didn’t even introduce himself, made me feel super uncomfortable. We had to move our car and I asked him if I needed to come and he rudely said yeah I can’t do it for you, I just figured they would leave from the spot that we parked at. Once we got to the parking spot he wanted us in he just stood there and after awhile was finally like “you’re done now.” So I was like do I just go back in or what. I felt uncomfortable with him being in the car with my son alone. Super unprofessional and very uncomfortable. I wish I would have read the reviews. Agree they are just there to make you test more than once. UPDATE per your comment no you made me feel very uncomfortable, you are not to assume when I feel comfortable or uncomfortable! Once I spoke with another school you are in the wrong! Again rude and uncomfortable period! Reviews don’t lie!
