I thought that the behind the wheels were really informative & helpful. I think that I will be a very safe driver. Ms. Nitz was very fun to talk to, and I actually looked forward to my lessons even if they were early in the morning. We laughed a lot and she was very chill and made you feel comfortable even when you weren’t sure what to do or how to do something. I also recommend taking full advantage of the two hours that you get to practice and ask questions. Read Less

I can't remember the name of the sweet girl in the office but she is friendly, and quick to respond. And Ms. Nitz is the BEST!! She is kind, funny and more then just a driving instructor! My daughter actually looks forward to the early morning wake up calls just to hang out with her. She is also friendly to try to get you in the schedule if you need to reschedule. We will miss her!

I’m still thrilled that I passed the road test in the first time! Mr.Gawinski is really punctual and patient, which makes my preparing process easier during school day. I would suggest not only teenagers but also adults to take behind-the-wheel at least 3 times to make sure that you instinctively know what to do in all kinds of situations. Feel lucky that I went to the right place from the start! Thanks a lot! Read Less

My son just finished class with the young Mr. Gawinski and he is the best. My son would come home laughing about the stories Mr. G would tell. He said they helped him understand things much better. Mr. G keeps the students attention and really connects with them. This was super beneficial for my son, and he can't wait to start driving with him in a couple weeks. Thanks Mr. G Read Less

Pro: very friendly staff, instructor was knowledgeable, many options for programs Con: Online program was difficult, Missed appointments make it difficult to catch up (however this was my son's fault completely), and the instructor was very; harsh. (I think he is the owner and may need to remember that these are kids and gossip is not cool) Overall: I have been through the program several times. We always finish on time, even with missed appointment. Most of the instructors are good, it is just my opinion that maybe it comes a time to hang it up and let the business speak for itself. I do highly recommend Tri County if you want your child to actually learn!! Read Less

I took my behind the wheel with Tri County Driving School, and had a great experience. They worked around my sports schedule and my instructor (Mr. Rodgers) was awesome. I highly recommend.

Very helpful and responsive. They are great to work with and the lessons were easy to follow and not too stressful. I would recommend anyone needing driving lessons to check them out.

My teenager was very afraid to learn to drive and Tri County Driving School made her feel comfortable and allowed her to take her time. Thank you for helping her feel comfortable behind the wheel.

The customer service is terrible, the communication with the parents is worse. As a parent, I like to be informed about my kid's schedule. I received none of the correspondence or notifications from the school. We had a possible scheduling conflict. When I said the notifications should also be sent to the parents, Lynn (receptionist) said it was their belief that if the child is responsible enough to drive, she should be able to manage her own schedule. I was also told that there is NO WAY to get a message to the instructor during the day which also speaks to the non-existent communication here. Sadly, with very little competition, Tri-County doesn't have to care what you think.Read Less
