This place just randomly came to mind, so I'm writing this review from my experience there back in 2015. I only had my permit at the time and was taking their class to get my license. The instructors may know the rules of the road, but these guys don't know how to run a business professionally. Front desk lady was rude. The one on one behind the wheel sessions were a bit awkward. Instructors would jokingly call me "George", my name is Tom so I have no idea where he got that from, but it was weird for sure. After my final behind the wheel session, they weren't confident in my ability to drive and were adamant that one final session would really help me prepare for the driver's license test, offering me to take it with them in one of their vehicles instead of at the DMV. For context, they use Kia Souls while I drove a Ford Expedition that I was much more accustomed to. I declined their offer and felt like they were trying to rip me off as I was fully confident in my ability to successfully pass the test. I ended up taking the driver's license test at the DMV in my own vehicle a few days later and passed flawlessly. These people will try to scam you, stay away! Read Less

office admin are rude,unprofessional, unorganized and has poor communication skills. We paid for the class, attended the 8 hour classroom and we never heard from them again. The day of the 8 hour classroom session they told us that we needed to reschedule and take my son to the eye doctor.. Did that and came back... front desk insisted that I had 6 months of my child on a permit that there should be no rush... once class was completed, they said they would call to schedule my son's driving lessons. NEVER HAPPENED. They do not follow up and they act clueless.THEY ARE NOT CLUELESS THEY ARE ROBBING PEOPLE OF THEIR MONEY. Do not give this driving school your money. They can't even shape a future for our children by running a business in this manor. Read Less

I don't understand why this is rated a 2.7 right now, but rusty's driving school has been amazing! We had a completely opposite experience of the negative review. At the 8 hour session, my son was told to call in a couple weeks to get his classes scheduled, which was his responsibility. Scheduling was easy and convenient. There were many openings and times that we could choose from. The woman whom runs the office at the location we went is straight forward and friendly but doesn't bs...which is something I feel you need when dealing with people at times! Rusty's taught my son about safe and defensive driving and I feel comfortable with what he has learned and knowing that he is going to be a safe driver, or at least was taught properly how to do so. It helped me clean up some of my bad habits that I have developed over the years as I watched my son develop skills from learning from Rusty's school. Definitely worth the money and time to make sure your teen, or someone who needs refresher lessons, knows how to do it safely. One thing I did like was that I feel like my son might have been a little bit cocky thinking he was going to be getting his license at his last lesson, but the instructor did not feel comfortable licensing him and gave us the option of practicing more or scheduling a couple more classes with him and coming back to get his license. I opted for 2 more classes with the instructor as I felt that was the best thing for us. Read Less

Very professional business and staff who are also concerned with making sure each student learns the rules of the road and safe driving. I'm 28 years old and I just completed an adult driving course taught by Mr. Rusty Hires which brought me up to date with today's driving laws and also sharpened my driving skills. I thoroughly enjoyed his class. I feel so much better on the road now than I did before. He is a great instructor with many years of experience teaching young people, seniors, autistic, and even deaf. I highly recommend this school to young and old alike. Read Less

My son completed driver training in November of 2016. We felt he had excellent classroom and vehicle instruction. Over a year later we learned my son could get academic credit for his class because his school does not offer driver training. We contacted Rusty for a duplicate certificate with a grade and Rusty handled this promptly and with follow-up after I initially contacted and to make sure the certificate arrived. Great instruction, great customer service. Great value! What more could you want? Read Less

I've talked to the office clerk twice and she doesn't seem pleasant at all. My teenager hasn't started the program yet but I hope the clerk isn't a reflection of the school.
