There is a difference between this place, 911 bothell & defensive driving school and the difference is the professionalism from 911 and defensive. First of all, if you miss an exam by 10minutes or 30minutes especially if you call and update the test giver on your situation - they will work with you and reschedule. Where as with safe2go, it's a repurchase which is, say it with me everyone... a scam. Secondly, safe2go responds on their Google reviews condescendingly and challenge any negative review by saying: "YoUrE nOt OuR sTuDeNt". They dont like critiques, constructive feedback or reschedule/refund requests. The driving lessons are alright but there is a clear difference in veteran drivers at the other establishments. Safe2go has two locations and silver lake's location's instructor is not in any position to be teaching. I highly recommend keeping your children away from here. I highly recommend you go to a new establishment. Read Less

What a great program! Excellent communications from beginning to end, my student driver 'accelerated' through this course to become a competent and safe driver. We had weather complications that delayed classes and drives, but Chris was quick and efficient in getting everything rescheduled even when we needed further rescheduling to accommodate our busy lives. I highly recommend Safe2Go Driving School! Read Less

My little brother went to class here and always came back home telling me how much fun he had and how much he's learned. I'm the one who rides in the car with him and have already seen the improvement. Very informative and also fun instructors. 5 stars. Read Less

Can I give negative stars? Where do I even start. Office staff extremely disorganized. Several staff members and OWNER of the company completely rude to both myself and my son. I have been given wrong/conflicting information 6 (yes SIX) times and when I attempt to clarify and bring up the contradictions, I am spoken over and told I asked the "wrong person".... It took me four in person attempts to sign up my student for a written test (in order: the computer wasn't working (said they would call me back and didnt), the debit card maching wasn't working (said they would call me back and didnt), there was a staffing problem, the person didn't know their password). Finally the FIFTH time I went to the office I was able to register and pay, after sitting in the lobby for 10 minutes while the staff socialized in the back room. They finally emerged when I yelled "HELLO?". I was told by two people there was a test Friday and one that there was not.  So, I paid and registered... Hoping there is? Today, we came for a written test tonight and one person told my student I needed to fill out paperwork and I should come inside, only to have the other person tell him not to listen to her. This place is a complete joke. Consider yourself warned Read Less

Had a 1 star review, but the owner messaged me and and worked out everything I had bad to say. I have no problem with the class, but DOL testing with the same teacher you have for class. Now this is changed, and you have different teachers for each part of the course. Read Less

My son didn't get his license for over a year after our experience. After finishing up classes here, he took the written test twice. The first time he failed it because one of the questions on the test had been taught incorrectly in the classroom - every kid who took the test with him missed the same question. He failed by one question..... The second time, he failed on his own, but I couldn't help but think that he'd be done if they hadn't taught misinformation because he would have passed the test the first time. We have experience with another driving school and I wish I hadn't gotten too lazy to drive my second child across the freeway to the other school. It was hands-down a far better experience. The drives at this 132nd Street location were not pleasant. My son came back beaten down every time. I had to listen to a list of complaints about my son from the instructor (they came off as complaints, not suggestions for improvement) and was scolded for not practicing enough between drives - even though we WERE practicing. They even refused to take him on the "freeway" drive because he said we weren't practicing. My son was nervous about these drives because of the negativity in the car the minute he got in. I was FURIOUS every single time. I don't need to be scolded, thanks, I'm a capable grown-up. The other school's driving instructors were positive and encouraging and wanted you to succeed. The two instructors he drove with at Safe2Go were negative and almost wanted to catch the kids failing. Attitude makes a HUGE difference in success when it comes to teenagers. If you show up with negativity, they will respond to it accordingly. Once we showed up for a drive and there was no instructor. We rescheduled but the instructor didn't get the message that a drive was scheduled so we showed up again and there was no instructor. We had to wait for the other instructor to finish his drive and stay for our drive. It was frustrating to have to waste the time. We finally contacted Defensive Driving (where I took my oldest son) and had him take his written and skills test with them. He passed both the first time. The driving instructor was positive and upbeat and even worked with us when we realized his permit had expired when we showed up for a brush-up drive. I kick myself for not going with another school. This was not a pleasant experience. I seemed to constantly be on the phone with the main office for the whole class session about one thing or another starting on day one when I went down to get his permit only to find out they hadn't transmitted the information to the DOL that he had registered for classes. The other school did it automatically on the correct day but somewhere I missed the info that I had to physically call Safe2Go and request it. I never saw it anywhere in the emails they sent me after registering - it only said I could go get his permit X days before the classes started. And, frankly, I never found the main office to be that friendly. Read Less

Poor communication and unorganized.   Extremely hard to schedule and we are having to go elsewhere for our testing even though we have paid because they are so hard to work with.   Would not recommend. Read Less

This is the second time we've been through driver's ed, the first time being with a different driving school through the high school that my daughter didn't like and didn't complete (she dropped out after the instructor yelled at her).  So, we were hesistant about which school to choose next.Safe 2 Go proved to be a good choice.  My daughter gained more confidence in her driving abilities and really liked and respected her teachers.  Astrid was a good teacher.  My daughter's skill level and knowledge has increased, and now she actually wants to practice driving.  I would recommend Safe 2 Go to anyone, great experience.

Over a year later, my son still doesn't have his license.  After finishing up classes here, he took the written test twice.  The first time he failed it because one of the questions on the test had been taught incorrectly in the classroom.  He failed by one question.....  The second time, he failed on his own, but I couldn't help but think that he'd be done if they hadn't taught misinformation because he would have passed the test the first time.

Please don't respond and tell me you had no idea - you knew all along - I seemed to constantly be on the phone with the main office for the whole class session.  And, frankly, I never found the main office to be that friendly.  Seriously, I wish I could have a do over...... It was a very expensive mistake. Read Less

Courteous and professional, with a respectable front office and classroom to match. This was a very good place to go for a licensing test. The vehicles used for driving instruction are as new and the instructor is very much on the ball. Read Less

I took my son yesterday to take his knowledge test to get his permit.  I'm giving it 2 stars because I called mid afternoon and they were able to schedule me in the same evening, so that was pretty awesome.  But as for customer service it's below a 1!  The office lady that was there (Chadwick, she said her last name so I know it was her) was just plain rude. She didn't offer any information on how this process works and her demeanor made me afraid to ask her questions.  This is my first experience with the first drivers lic. process and where I'm from it was way different so being told how this works would have been nice.  After my son was checked in and went into the testing room I was told I had to leave and wait in my car cause she had to lock doors, which was fine....but after my son was done with his test (and he passed :) ) he walked out to the car and that was that.  I have NO idea what we are supposed to do next, I mean he didn't walk out with a permit in hand, so now what??  The door was still locked so I couldn't go back in and ask her what were supposed to do now.  I will call today to find out the next step but it was up to her to inform the parents how this works.I would definitely find a friendlier and more helpful place to take your child!
