The owner, Danielle, is so hands-on with her business and really makes the kids feel welcomed! I loved completing the online classes and always found them super helpful. Danielle and Rej are both so full of knowledge and really break things down to make sure EVERYONE understands and no one gets left behind. I will always be thankful for my time at TDS and I would 100% recommend them if you are looking to start driver's ed!

I recently just completed the driving class at Toledo Driving School, and I honestly have to say it was one of the best learning experiences I've had. The classes are fun and relatable while being very informational and in-depth as well! If your looking for a great drivers school, TDS is definitely the best place to go!

When I called to make driving appointments the woman who answered was helpful and I got moved up quickly and finished my drive times a month before the time I was scheduled too! Teacher was friendly and kept my attention through the entire class. Instructors are very kind and helpful and answered every question I had. Guest speakers were interesting and overall experience.

If I could give this ZERO stars, I would. HORRIBLE, snotty customer service. Kid had classes end of June -- no drive times until November. Also -- they LIED and told me it was "illegal" to go to another driving school just for driving hours -- it is not. The State has transfer forms that allow classes at one school and drive times at another school. Flat out liars! Do not go here!

Always on time and very pleasant. It would have been 5 stars but it takes awhile to get on the driving schedule.
