Thank you Stephanie you got my fiancée and I though from knowing nothing to passing in 10 months. This sis something I didn’t think I’d be able to do but you gave us such a calming and patient presence though our lessons and I’m genuinely going to miss our lessons!
Can’t recommend enough ☺️

website isn’t updated waited here for over an hour just to get told that it’s adults only.. while the website says otherwise. He was utterly disrespectful and told us to go to another place with no help what so ever. he smelt like alcohol. The experience had here was the worst i have ever experienced.

It was in I believe 2019 I took my 2 hour driving practice with Pete, back then I didn’t think to leave a review but I definitely should’ve. Driving with this man next to you is awful and gave me way more anxiety than I needed to have behind the wheel, at one point he yelled at me and said there was no way I would pass the test basically trying to destroy my confidence. As someone on the spectrum for autism this left me feeling so destroyed once I got home but I DID end up passing with flying colors and to this day I have driven well with no marks on my license. Pete may seem like a fun funny guy in the drug and alcohol but I wouldn’t ever let this man back in a car with me. My exam instructor was much more relaxed and reassuring.

My son took the safety class with them and I reached out multiple times to sign him up for private driving lessons as well. The first time, we talked through email and they told me to call and never returned my messages. The second time they told me to meet them for the two hour lessons and when we arrived, they were closed. I called several times and left messages but never got a response of any kind. I stopped trying and we’re going with a different place.

No one pick the phone listed on the website.
No paperwork was provided when the class finished, they stated that the certification was going to be sent directly to dmv and one via email to the email provided, that did not happen.
Looking at the reviews they are most negative, but no one is doing anything about it. We already pass covid, theree is no reason why they don't answer the calls.

I have Pete teach the 8 hour class on the weekend. He was engaging and really knowledgeable. Defiantly a great choice to go to this location.

There is zero sense in going through the whole course we paid full price for the full course and ended up waiting over 6 months. The best option is to wait 6 months take the drug and alcohol and pay to take the test at Rae's. Mike is not a help at all. I appreciate pete for all he has done , he is a great instructor but the person who runs the rae driving schools is very unorganized was not happy at all.
