Parents looking for a local driving school, heads up to avoid Treasure Coast Driving School. We had a horrible experience and I don’t recommend them. Save your money!
We signed our child up for driving lessons with the Treasure Coast Driving School in February. We paid for 8 hours of driving lessons plus the driving test, costing approximately $800. After signing up online, I had to reach back out via email to find out when the driver would contact us so we could schedule the lessons (it had been nearly a week with no followup). Once the driver reached out, it was easy to schedule lessons with him, although it seemed like he was really only available on Saturdays. That was fine. My child told us that the driver was always on his cell phone, answering calls or texting, and one time even missing their turn because he was on his phone. I only got feedback on the lessons after the first lesson. After the following lessons, the driver left before I could talk to him to see how the lesson went. In April, I scheduled the driving test by calling the office. The lady who answered was extremely helpful and gave me several options before scheduling what worked with us. This past Friday, I called to reschedule after finding out my child had a conflict with school and could not take her scheduled driving test. The person answering the phone told me it would be a $40 fee to reschedule (a rip off considering I already paid nearly $800, but I was willing to pay it). She then told me I had to go online to find a date and time that would work and call her back. I told her nicely that last time I called, they were able to give me several options and do it over the phone. Since they’re so hard to get in touch with on the phone, I didn’t want to play phone tag again. I knew we were free this week and next week and what times we could do. She proceeded to have an argumentative tone and was rude. She told me she was the only person to schedule tests and insinuated I was lying. She again said I had to go online to find the date and time and call back. She didn’t want to listen to me at all and she was very impatient and rude. Her customer service was terrible. After realizing my conversation with her was going no where, I hung up. At this point, I will take my child to the DMV for her test.
Please think twice before doing business with Treasure Coast Driving School. They are difficult to get in touch with, they will charge you extra if you have to reschedule, they set poor examples for young drivers by spending the driving time on their phone texting or talking instead of teaching, and they have terrible customer service. I’d hate for any other parent to experience what we have. Read Less
