I took driving classes here in Dec 2023 and I felt like it prepared me very well to drive. The classroom course as well as the driving courses are very helpful, and Mr. Brown is a phenomenal instructor. I didn’t end up finishing my driving hours here, but I was able to use my leftover credit to pay for my driving test here, which felt easy and fun with Mr. Brown! Many of these reviews have merit regarding their complaints with the old receptionist and other driving instructor. However, a new woman named Holly works there, and she is the GREATEST! She is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, even despite being new to the job. I can 100% recommend Austin Driving School in Temple TX! (5 stars because Mr. Brown and Holly are great, and I personally was not very troubled by earlier management)

I had a very disappointing experience with this driving school. In addition to the unprofessional behavior and rude attitude from the staff, I noticed unequal treatment toward certain people, which made me feel that there was a clear bias and lack of empathy. Some interactions even had racist undertones, which is unacceptable in any setting, especially in a place where people are supposed to feel supported while learning to drive.

Mr. Brown is an excellent instructor. Office needs to update the record keeping. To me office personnel were always cordial in person and over the phone and no one yelled or humilated my child, if that had been the case, my review would be different.

If you look through the comments there is a person mentioned by name Leo Tellier. This guy is unprofessional and bad at his job. I paid in full for the driving and the test ($465) this guy proceeded to accuse me of not paying and told me produce a receipt. I did not have the receipt on hand, as I was there just to schedule the driving test with my daughter. I would have thought this info was on file in his records…. regrettably it was not according to him. And that's why I went ahead and paid for the test again. After returning home, my wife produced the receipt in question. I called back and got someone other than Mr. Tellier and of course they tell me that I am paid in full and got a refund. I normally wouldn’t even write this, but this guy was such a mess I had to let people know. I will say that the instructor Mr. Brown is excellent if it wasn’t for him this would be 1 star.

Mr. Leo Tellier, the secretary, is the worst and shouldn’t be in a position where children are involved. They say they’re gonna take care of this and they take care of nothing. This man has been there for years and is still there terrorizing kids when instead they should be having an enjoyable experience learning to drive. He doesn’t care (said it himself).
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. These people have a job because of the kids who take lessons and the parents who pay for it. The least they could do is treat kids with kindness, but they clearly don’t care. The only good person here is Mr. Brown.
Mr. Tellier yelled and humiliated my daughter for getting nervous and failing her driving test (we pay for two chances exactly because kids get nervous). Instead of being compassionate, this man felt it was necessary to make my daughter feel worst just because he can. He questioned her about why she failed and proceeded to remark that she didn’t even make it out of the parking lot. This man is rude, condescending and just ugly to anyone who steps in that office. Save your money, your sanity and your children’s confidence and go somewhere they’ll treat them and you with empathy and respect. This is not the place!

If you read the reviews of other locations of this school, this location is every bit as bad as other bad reviews here but add to it this thing called Leo. He is rude, unprofessional, very unpleasant person that doesn't seem to have mastered even the most basic human interactions yet.
