I’ve never been treated with such disrespect in all my life. The man had me sit down to take the knowledge test and the woman came out and told him in their language to tell me they’re closed. Mind you it was 1 pm. So I came in the next day and the woman had me switch seats because she thought I would cheat. She made me switch seats twice! And warned me that there was cameras everywhere (my phone was with her so there was no way that I would cheat, not that I would anyway) after I took the test one of the men that works there (the one who sat me down the first time) is who graded my knowledge test. The woman had walked out to the front part of their office as I was walking out after I had been informed that I passed the test. The woman looked me up and down and said you finished your test fast and I said yes I did and then she said did you pass and I said yes, and she had the nastiest look on her face and then told me not to forget my ID again as I had forgot it on the table the day previously because I was told to take it out for my test and then told to get up so suddenly, it had slipped my mind that I had set it on the folder they gave me. A couple days later, I called and tried to make an appointment for my drivers test, and the woman was being so sweet and accommodating, and then she asked if I had came in before and I told her who I was and her tone changed immediately and she told me that they had no availabilities Because their staff went on vacation. She’s an older African woman my mom‘s age. I was never expecting her to treat me like this seeing as I was so respectful to her and being African myself not even a little bit more respect for her as my elder I don’t know if there’s some kind of jealousy or Maybe she doesn’t like Ethiopians. I’m not quite sure what the deal is there I was born in America, so I don’t really know the politics over there, but please don’t waste your time coming to this business. They are extremely unprofessional extremely rude. They’re not clear on what their hours are and you’re not able to make appointments. There’s way better places near there to do your knowledge and skills test. I never write reviews like this because I know how detrimental it can be to someone’s business, but I’ve never been treated like this and I don’t want anybody else to go through what I went through at that place. Save your time. Save your money. Read Less

I don’t recommend Express Driving School which is currently at this location. The knowledge test is paper-based, so you don’t get to see your exact score.

THEY DO NOT VALUE CUSTOMERS OR THEIR TIME/MONEY.
I came there 3+ times for a simple written test and still never got one!
They state that they have walk-ins available, but no where does it say up until 3 PM. After I came in, there is no one in the lobby, no one in the building and after waiting 10+ minutes for someone to help us, one of their instructors told us that they do not offer walk-in after 3 PM. I came back 2 different times and days before 3 PM, but no one was available when there was no one in the building and no class session! They said that we had to wait 15 minutes for one of the instructors to get off their lunch, waited for 20+ minutes and left at that point, super unprofessional and a waste of my time.

I had a relatively poor experience with Sonic Driving School but they insisted I leave a review. I arrived at 9 am but the door was locked and they we're closed. I waited for about 5 minutes before leaving and coming back an hour later. When I returned, the receptionist was on her phone chatting, did not greet me or hang up the call, and just handed me paperwork and pointed with her finger. Let me be clear that she was not taking calls for the business but was simply chatting. I took my written test and had no issues. They told me to go wait 10 minutes while the grader returned from a drive test. I went over and sat at a table with my phone. Other people were using their phone but someone came over and scolded me for using my phone. Once I explained I already took the test, he apologized but I had enough at that point. I told him I would wait outside instead. The only reason they get 2 stars is because they provided the written knowledge test and sent the results to the DOL. Their service was awful that day and I have chosen another business for the drive test itself. I simply cannot recommend this company especially considering their prices are higher than most other driving test centers. Read Less

DO NOT COME TO THIS FACILITY! I have been driving for seven years with no wrecks, no tickets and never been pulled over. The instructor is extremely hard to understand with his accent, and failed me on not backing up around a corner past a stop sign (I had no idea this was even legal to do). He failed me on that single item, calling me dangerous on the road. He then suggested I come in to do lessons with them so they could make more money. I just wasted two hours of my day and $55 on a test that you cannot pass. There were four people in front of me taking the test, they did not pass a single person.

Last reviewer was right about the waiting room playing inappropriate shows. When I was there, it was playing serial killer documentaries. I had an appointment at 1pm but I still had to wait because there were two people ahead of me somehow.
I paid $68 total to take the drive test with their car and I paid with debit which costed me an additional $3 to do that and overrall that is the most expensive price I have ever paid for a drive test.
The examiner was a male with a turban (I can't remember his name) and he didn't tell me anything about the car like other examiners do. He got upset with me because I was confused on how to adjust the seat when there were six small different buttons that didn't even have labels. Also I didn't like the side view mirrors because they had small circle mirrors on top of the mirrors, but that's just my preference.
On the road he told me when to turn too late and he didn't let me have my second attempts for the maneuvers. I did make some mistake but not enough for him to have failed me like he did and I know this because that same day I went and took the test again at 911 Driving School in Tacoma with a much nicer car (Kia) and I passed! Also the instructor I had was more caring and didn't yell or get really frustrated.
Note: I did Sears Driving School and I was amazing at all my maneuvers and driving safely in general, but then my teacher told me that he himself couldn't administer the test himself because he had failed the test to be an examiner so yes I failed a few times, because I was uncomfortable being trapped in a car with a male I don't know (for personal reasons) and it especially doesn't help when they stress you out or yell at you but I finally passed and so will you, just avoid Sonic; it sounded like they just want your money. Sonic insisted I needed lessons or else I would fail again, but they were wrong. GOOD LUCK! Read Less
