Getting through the program was fast and easy. But Doug should not work with children, rude and demeaning.

The owner Doug approached my car while my minor son was practicing at their facility. I was in the car also at the time. After my son hit a cone practicing maneuverability. He walked up to our car and threatened to beat him silly if he ever hits his brand new cones again. After I immediately called him out on it, he backpedaled and apologized. I fear to see how this man acts when in the car with other minors and no adult to watch him. Read Less

I went through drive time so that i can get my license at 16. Drive Time is a great place to get educated properly about the safety’s and dangers when it comes to driving. Tho, when it to my actual driving time with my instructor, i found him to be a little on the snappy side. I am a new driver and haven’t learned all of the things that can be challenging, so it was a bit stressful. When i went to do the cones it was my first time and they can be a little confusing, whenever i would mess up he would get mad, or slightly raise his voice, one of the times he slammed on his breaks but said that it was the car and it just does that. With being a new driver and a driving coach you need to be able to have a understanding that not everybody is going to be perfect, and there are going to be lots of mistakes made even if you are repetitive about what to do and what not to do. I felt like i was under the pressure to always be perfect when i was in the car with him and whenever i would mess up it was a big deal. overall, DriveTime is a good school, but make sure you have a nice instructor, that can help you through driving without making you feel like you are doing everything wrong when you mess up.

Doug was able to do what I thought was impossible; he taught my son how to do maneuverability in a big sized SUV with ease. Doug was always on- time, decently easy to get ahold of, and easy to talk too, very personable. My son did the same on line drivers ed classes and the driving part with/ at the school. This is my second child that I have put through Drive Time, and I’ve had a decent/ positive experience both times. Thank you Doug and Sara. Read Less

Drive time was the worst experience of my childhood life. Doug is one of the driving instructors and he made me cry!! He only talked about himself the whole time, it is obvious that he peaked in high school! Their Findlay office is an absolute disaster!! Papers are all over the floor and there are empty bottles every where. They are so unorganized that they forgot to drive with me for 4 months after after my 16th birthday!! Read Less

Our daughter went through her driver's education training with Drive Time. We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to Lee Best (our daughter's driving instructor). He was hard on her when she needed it and he taught her a lot. Once our daughter got her driver's license she wanted to let Lee know. She texted him and he called her in return. To us that shows the compassion the instructors have for your students. Thank you!!! Read Less

Signed up, showed up 10 minutes before class started. Door was locked instructors looked right at us , Thought must be early maybe it starts at 45 so waited never saw door unlocked went up checked it was locked, called and a very RUDE man informed me no one else had problems getting in, didn't realize I was paying them to be rude and insulting so we left. Get clear directions on when and where to walk in and hope they don't just stand there looking at you then take joy in telling how dumb you are. Yeah these are the people I want teaching my teen to drive. No worries if I can figure out how we will go somewhere else.... glad the business is doing so well wecan afford to insult parents.
