Classes were ok for my 15 year-old daughter. Most of the drives were good too. When it came to her final driving test, Don was not nice or patient. Very early in the drive he told her that she backed up ON to a curb. She said she did not. He said she failed immediately! My daughter was in tears! She said she would have noticed if she drove up on a curb and then back off a curb. Don then proceeded to ask her who did her other drives at this location. When she told him, he said, "Hmpf, that figures." Not a great way to treat your co-workers. Then he asked, "Who do you usually drive with at home, and lets you drive with all these bad habits?"
1) Makes the teenage girl cry
2) Insults the parents
3) Insults his co-workers
Try to ask for a different instructor.

They made my girlfriend cry, because they yelled at her and weren't understanding. They also tried to flirt with her, and she's an immigrant from another country. The idea was to give her a better experience, not to try to seduce her. I can't imagine which other teenagers they could possibly charm, since there are only teenagers there and the teachers are much older

Don showed me police driving. He focused on fundamentals like cornering helping me get over my fear of driving and build my confidence on the road. In just two sessions I learned more about driving than all of my previous experience put together.

People are nice. When you have a scheduled appointment and it goes well past that. You may need to check in 30 minutes before you're supposed to show up just to get in on time. I showed up 10 minutes prior and had to wait an additional 40 minutes just for my appointment. With 0 explanation for the delay.

They will gladly take your $600.00 for the class and not bother to maintain their cars. On my sons final drive the car would stall when corners were made too fast and the oil light would come on due to NO OIL being in the car. The instructor handled it great but seriously, you are training our kids to be responsible behind the wheel and that all starts with maintenance and knowing your car is road worthy. Very disappointed in this branch and will probably seek out a different school for my third child.
