This driving school leaves a lot to be desired. Drive time booking was atrocious. Some of my daughter’s times were cancelled by the school with zero appointments available to reschedule. We were told someone would call us back with more times, which never happened. When we called back a week later they told us that they didn’t say they would call us with more times. The driving instructor was poor at best. The way she taught parallel parking was just setting our child up to fail. A couple of days before her road test, we got a call from the office saying there were a bunch of kids that could not make it and to show up early and we could get finished early. Her test was at 1:00, we showed up at 10:00 to see a complete disaster for road test. There were at least 8-12 kids there at all times trying to get their test. It appears all the kids were told to just show up and it was a free for all every time the car came back from a test. The first one to the car went next. After 2 hrs of waiting, I called the office and was told that the office never called us. After some arguing the office called the instructor and got us to be the next road test. I could not believe the poor management, professionalism and organization by this company from start to finish. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

The customer service is amazing when they answer the phone very polite and understanding. They got right back to me and help schedule lessons that fit my schedule. But I had some problems with the driving instructor Charlotte my road test is next week and I was doing parallel parking perfectly fine with other driving schools. Charlotte's "way to parallel parking" will not only make me fail my road test but other students as well. I've hit the curb parallel parking with her more times than other instructors. I've been going to CMSC school and they have a good technique to follow, they encourage students to get parallel parking correctly cause hitting the curb is critical error. When waiting for her and other student to come back from a lesson, so I can take mine. I watched this student perform a parallel park with "her way or method" and he hit the curb too. Then he had to make adjustments just like I was doing. Sometimes during 2 hrs lessons she goes on her phone and she looks at flowers or trees from people house. While I'm waiting for her next instructions, we are not going on a sight seeing driving. I'm paying money for you to teach me correctly and use my time wisely. I have told her my road test is next week and I don't have time to make any mistakes. She almost made me cry and give up...does not have a positive attitude. Read Less

I have only had one good experience with this place and that was one of the driving lessons I had with Mr.B. I have had charlotte, and she was horrible, should not be a driving instructor, and for my road test i had leo who was extremely unprofessional, and rude. I wasted my money on a place that allows its driving instructors to act pretentious, and completely out of line, There was next to no reason to be yelled at by a complete stranger, or talked to in such a sarcastic, rude, pompous, tone of voice.

I had a terrible experience with several of the driving instructor. Only 2 of 5 were even remotely good at keeping me calm and being helpful. 2 of the teachers yelled at me for little things that made no sense which caused me to feel overly stressed. The other teacher I disliked went to other students behind my back telling them all that I did wrong rather than helping me correct it during my lesson. Read Less

I'd give a Zero if I could. This and all their other joints of "driving school" are bad. The instructors uses their breaks on you to their whim, to look at flowers, to buy from convenience stores, etc. $55 per lesson, no package deals. Waste your time so you can take another lesson when all they tell you is "you need to get into habits."Can you expect someone with no family support to "get into habits" without a car? Why am I even paying for your lesson then, if you're just going to waste my time and money to do what you want to do? Read Less
