Expensive. Difficult to schedule behind the wheels. I would carefully monitor the website towards the end of every month. Literally .. set an alarm bc it's so difficult to schedule. Poor communication/website interface. Example: you can change your address and will not be notified of how their system processes those changes at the time of the change. They will not let you know that you need to cancel or check your email for new details after you update. (It won't schedule you for the previous address either) Unless you are closely monitoring emails, you will not know that your behind the wheel doesn't adjust to include your updated address. (Especially if it goes to your spam.) Then, you will be charged $75 to reschedule. Texts will only tell you vague details btw. Date and time. "See email." You're naturally going to assume that bc the website accepted and updated your address change that you'll be picked up there .. no. Then, staff will treat you as if you're insane for not knowing how their system works without being told. You don't get flagged on the website. Nothing. Luckily, I was able to quickly reschedule at a different location. I'm grateful for that. But, never again. Ever. It was this terrible with my daughter previously without the address change. Overrated bc you see their cars everywhere. Choose elsewhere. I wish the office staff the same level of compassion that they have for others. ✨️ (none)

There are no good places to eat around this location, only a jimmy johns and a Mexican Establishment. It can get scetchy when dark, especially with the vape store right next to it.
Bad teacher too. No...

I'm a student who attended one way driving school as well as the behind the wheel lessons that come with it, and let me be the first to say that these series of classes leave one completely unprepared for driving. The instructors are incredebly rude and impatient; bad traits for this learning experience. New drivers are already generally uncomfortable and unconfident in what they are doing. During behind the wheel the instructors add to the frustration and anxiety that comes with being a new driver by offering loud comments that prove to be far from constructive criticism, shouting out such things as ""no!"" ""what are you doing?!"" and alluding to complete inanity of the driver. Many times while i would be easing into a brake, my instructor would slam down on it, and then let it go again and let me brake on my own.. I never quite figured out why he would do that but I'm quite positive i can break on my own. During classes the students found themselves with many chapters to read and test-prep questions to answer and a small amount of time to complete their work. I, as well as many of my peers, did not have time to finish the chapters, let alone test our comprehension through the test-prep questions. In the final test, half the students found themselves cheating in order to recieve their blue card becasue of the lack of time given to read, thus the lack of information taken in and known. We were also not allowed to take books home, so we didn't have a chance to pick up where we were forced to be left off. I would highly reccomend finding a different, more well-developed and organized driving school; one that depends on the learning of the child, not on how fast the lazy teachers can get class over with and get home. IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO SUCCEED DO NOT LET THEM ATTEND THIS DRIVING SCHOOL.
