Bad experience, I just received an email from the instructor stating the new CEO/management and stated that the instructor has been laid off and asked me to contact Secretary of State public website. Tried calling them but no answer. My daughter just started the class last week. There is no news/guidance. It is really unprofessional. Bad business and management. Read Less

The receptionist is very racist and angry. There were two white Americans there and she was super happy smiling at them. I am Hispanic and when it was my turn she was rude and very unequal. I understand that her job is hard because she is with a lot of people, but the service is bad. Then during the exam, the system took me out of my job and when I tried to go back, the lady told me that I had failed, I hadn't even finished it and told me to pay for another try. It's not the first time I've heard that this school just wants to take your money, but I'm checking it again. Read Less

This place is great. Staff is very informative and very friendly and approachable. They are really willing to work with you if for some reason you are running late or need to make up a class. My son is really learning and seems to be enjoying it, I think? But he is driving! I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

These guys straight up stole our money. The promised they could teach us yet the instructor was ALWAYS late and cancelled appointments the day of. Mike's first instruction involved driving twice around the tiny parking lot of the building where the school is located. Complete with narrow passthrough next to a scary cliff behind the shopping center. And then he wondered why a first time driver was scared. After being promised a refund, that money never showed. Followed by a backtrack on the promise with the claim that they do not issue refunds. So these guys straight up stole our money. $165 dollars for 20 minutes of instruction. Criminals. Fraud.

I would give this place a zero if I could. Worst place to try and get you're license. I've had way to many complications with them and spent way to much money to get my license. One their bad with time management, first time going to take the test they cancelled last minute, had me go all the way out to puyallup, failed me the first time for going a little under 5 miles not even 10 miles under the speed limit after I got out of the school zone, that's when they gave me the spill about $50 for one hour of practice but if I pay $175 I get 4 hours and it knocks of $25. That's when I thought they were just trying to get my money. It took me 2 weeks instead of 24-48 to talk to them like they say and I'm the one who had to keep calling them. Today I go to practice and they told me I couldn't because I didn't have a permit. One why didn't the DMV give me a permit after I passed the written??? Two how come freedom driving school didn't let me know that from the get go??? It's a waste of my time and money, I don't think they value that at all. When I told the instructure I wanted a refund he asked why, so I told him the truth and it was because they kept giving me the run around and their very misinformative. The instructor told me to go inside and ask the dude at the desk so I did and before he could finish telling me they can't at that office I walked straight out. Was it because they had a class going on??? Idk but I want my money and somewhere that is great service, somewhere that actually cares and doesn't give people the run arounds!!!! Read Less

They fail people to make more money. Took my co-worker there to take his test after passing the WA written test. Co-worker has driven my car for weeks prior to testing with me in the vehicle. Totally capable driver. I should have seen it as a red flag that they don't allow anyone but the driver and evaluator in the car. He failed the driving test 3 times. Once was for "not coming to a complete and total stop" ONCE. A "California stop" should be a warning at worst. They will find any reason to make you pay another $45 (55 if you use their vehicle) and come back. Read Less
