We are extremely frustrated with the driving school’s scheduling and communication practices. Our experience has been both disappointing and incredibly inconvenient.
My son was excited to start his driving classes, but from the very beginning, things have not gone as promised. The classes are scheduled twice a day, four days a week, but each day only runs once per month. This means if a class is missed, such as in our case when my son had a conflict with basketball practice in the morning and work in the evening, he was forced to wait a full 30 days to make it up. This delay alone has caused unnecessary frustration.
Further complicating matters, we were told that on-road practice with an instructor could not be scheduled until after the on-road test was booked. However, the test cannot be scheduled until after my son completes the final class (which, as mentioned, is 30 days later). To make matters worse, when we tried to schedule the test directly with the school, we were told there was no availability for the test, which led us to schedule it with the DMV for another 30 days from now.
To top it off, when my son reached out via email in a professional and polite manner to inquire about scheduling on-road practice prior to the test, he was met with rude and dismissive behavior from the school’s owner. This is simply unacceptable and unprofessional. It’s incredibly disappointing to see a business treating a young student this way, especially when they are trying to navigate something as important as driver’s education.
The school has no availability for on-road instruction for another two months, which makes it nearly impossible for students to stay on track. This lack of flexibility and the lack of consideration for the time constraints of your students and their families is, frankly, appalling.
I do not believe this practice should continue. You need a full review of your scheduling practices. It’s not just about the delay anymore — it’s about the professionalism (or lack thereof) displayed by both the instructor and the owner. I would like to see improvements made to the overall communication, scheduling, and customer service practices. Read Less
