As the parent of a new driver, I was very happy with our experience at MA Driving School. They had convenient times for classes and lots of availability for drives. The people who worked there helped walk us through how to get a learner's permit and then the steps to get the real driver's license. They were patient with my son and I feel like he really learned to rules of the road. He's been driving on his own now for almost a month and it's been fantastic!!

I took the teen program to learn everything I know about driving. I didn't know a thing before I entered this class and in the couple of months that is needed I finish the course I passed the knowledge and final for his class first try using only the knowledge they had taught me. The 5 drives were amazing and the instructors are professional but are also very friendly. Instructions were always clear and easy to follow when it came down to the class and driving lessons. The school is affordable and very effective. If your child attends Sumner Highschool it is only a short walk to the school which is also very convenient. I highly recommend this driving school.

The experience I had with the driving instructors was top-notch. I received guidance in my driver's ed course both in the classroom and on the road that assisted myself into establishing the skills I needed to drive successfully and safely on my own.I am grateful to both Beverly Martinez and Joan Brown for their patience, kindness, and understanding that fostered a nurturing environment for me during my time at M.A. Driving School.

The experience was wonderful. I learned a lot from the teachers. The drives are not stressful they make sure that you are comfortable. And the bookwork is not boring. The computer program Z.E.D is great.... This is a really good school if you want to learn the right way about safety and how to drive the right way...

As a student of this school, i have to say that the staff was friendly and patience with all questions. There was a few videos but every day we would be given a packet of work to do, and at the end we would go into each question and have the answer explained to us. if your child is attentive in class and dose not goof around during class it is the perfect school.

There are a lot of things I could say about this school, but the most important one I feel peole should know it that this school is the worse one there is. I suggest signing you teen up to any other school except this one. The owner of this business is mean and rude. If you have a complaint or anything of that sort she will blow you off. I came into the School because we were moving out of washington state and had to come and and get a paper that the state we were moving to need to be able to count the drivers ed we did here in our new state. So I came asking a couple questions about it since I wasn't familiar with it. and the lady her name is Beverly, who is the owner said to me with a really rude and snapy voice, "we dont know anything about that type of form that you need", so I got very upset headed out and did my own research and found the form, printed it out and had to go back , i found her to not have any customer service at all. Just because your the boss doesnt mean you need to treat people poorly. Finally I got what I needed and thank god didnt have to deal with her when I went back, the person at the desk filled out the form for me and she took it to the owner to sign and I ddint have to deal with her again. I gave this school a rating of one because I had to but they get zero starz.

I was careful to write this review until after my daughter had compleated the course and had her license in hand. My concern was that I would end up in a similar situation as the previous reviewer of this business. I would like to echo her sentiment about this poorly run, unfriendly business. We experienced similar problems as well as a general lack of effort on the part of instructors. The woman who taught the class primarily used videos for instruction and spent quite alot of time complaining about her personal life. Mistakes made by their computer reservation system or whomever was retrieving the information nearly cost us several fees. Switching a reservation only a few hours into the 2 day prior requirement resulted in automatic fees which prompted me to meet with the owner. I was met with false accusations about my reservation time which I printed and brought with me. After realizing her mistake she explained how lucky I was that she was giving me a break. The office has a sign sitting on their desk for all to read. It says "we don't deal with grumpy customers" I think they have created enough grumpy customers to warrant the sign. I would reccomend that anyone about to put their child behind the wheel of an automobile spend the extra money or drive the extra distance to avoid entrusting these people to educate them. Furthermore, all parents should try to send their children to driving schools where the education and safety is the emphasis of the business, not managing complicated fee structures to drive higher revenue. I hope this review can save some headaches and ensure that some children have a better experience learning how to drive.
