Worst experience ever. Front desk secretary (owners wife) seems flustered and angry at her husband. She should retire. First day of class all Mr. McGinnis did was show a dvd and try to upsell his products. He loves hearing the sound of his own voice. The kicker is you only get one hr of hands on driving lessons every 3 weeks and if you want to take them sooner you can pay an up charge. I also don't think a man in his late 60s should be touching girls on the back and calling them "honey". We're in a new era where you don't do that. This class was a joke. Run don't walk

If there was an option for something less than one star, that would be what i would rate McGinnis, the staff is extremely unprofessional, unreasonable, disrespectful and impatient. I called my girlfriend on my lunch break because I knew she was taking the driving course offered there for $60. She’s been talking about it all week long prior to taking it, I was expecting things to go well but she told me that the instructor had Made her cry, and was billitlling her for apparently simple mistakes and yelling at her. She told me he had at one point grabbed the steering wheel out of her hand. In addition to his saracstic comments and unnecessary unprofessional-ness, the lady receptionist had rudely interrupted me while I called to talk about the situation with them and told me that “ the call was going to go how she wanted” and then proceeded to interrupt me just to make her point heard. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere to have classes or driving courses taken.

I signed up and paid for five private lessons for my grandson. He went to and loved the first lesson. He failed to show up to the second lesson (after eight weeks) and did not give proper notice. There is a cancellation fee of $35 plus tax if you don't cancel on time. I called McGinnis and spoke to a very pleasant, professional, and helpful young woman, I believe her name is Lisa. She helped me get a refund for the balance of the unused classes minus the fees, of course. This is a very professional business and I would definitely do business with them again. Hopefully, my younger grandson is more mature and responsible than my older grandson. Anybody who complains about this business needs to try teaching a bunch of teenaged brats how to drive. Not a simple feat so I consider this a very professional place. I highly recommend.

I had a good experience with them. Today if I’m a good driver it’s just because of the driving teachers. They’re really calm and patience with every single student. They’re just awesome 👏🏻. I would recommend everyone to go McGinnis to learn how to drive. Keep it up McGinnis💕

I had such an amazing experience with McGinnis! I lost my wallet right before my driving test and they were willing to and able to work with me on still being able to get my paperwork. They went above and beyond for me. The driving test itself was amazing! He didn't bring a clipboard or the paperwork so it wasn't stressing. He was very soft spoken and kept up a very calming conversation. It was all very wonderful. Definitely well worth the money!!! Thank you guys!!!

I came to this location excited and ready to learn how to drive. Little did I was going to be judged for being poor and embarrassed in front of a class with about 20 students. David mcginnis is a judgmental, dicriminating, belittling human being. He tried to make me feel lower than him because I couldnt pay for the driving class myself. I was sponcered by sombody so I wouldnt have to pay out if pocket.
I was not aware there was a wrong answer to his question. He yanked me out of class, told me I disgusted him, kept my money and kicked me out permenitly . then talked to my mom on the phone like she was stupid and less than. We are low income but we are good people and all I wanted was to learn how to drive before my 21st birthday. All of this started after i declined a ride home from him (what male teacher asks their female teenage students if they need a ride home?) If you are low income or you have a sponserer i suggest any driving school but this one. He dosent need your money, $800 is pocket change to him, he made that very clear to his class.

Our son got excellent driver training here. Instructors far better than what his friends got in other less expensive schools. Highly recommend. Shame they only use clunky American cars.
