I have never dealt with a company as unprofessional, unorganized, and rude in my life. The driving instructor is allowed to be unethical and extort money from families because "she" gives you the driving certificate at the end of the lesson. You are not allowed to voice concerns to her or she will keep your child from being allowed to complete his/her hours. Absolutely awful! I would give a zero star if it allowed it.
In response to the owners comment. I called the office to voice my concern, I was supposed to get a call from the owner and never did. Glad I get a response now when I submit a review. There was a miscommunication of time for the driving hour between the teacher and my son. It was not a no show. She canceled a driving hour 2 hours before the lesson.there is supposed to be a $40 fee for students who cancel less than 3 hours before, where is my refund?
The only reason these people get away with what they are doing is because you are required to have drivers Ed by the state. This is definitely creating a major conflict of interest and allowing unaccountability by the driving companies. I will be contacting BBB and the attorney general's office.

Attended classes here from Jan - March 2005. They gave me an insurance discount and I passed both the written and driving tests with a perfect score. I still remember some of the stuff I learned here. Maybe things have changed in the last 14 years, lol, but overall this place isn't bad for what they offer.

Teachers are funny and relatable. The classes aren't boring which makes learning to drive fun. The school may not be in the best physical condition but the experience makes up for it.

Will not bring my other kids. They had too many students vs teachers. Driving hours were booked out over 3 weeks. My son finished the classes over a month ago and they cancelled 3 driving hours within a little over a week. I now need to call to set up his driving hours since he is done the classes. but no one calls you back! I have also called to ask to speak to who is in charge and they obviously don't care because they didn't call me back either.
My son finished school on 9/5 and he still has 6 driving hours he needs to do in mid October and we can't even get in touch with them to schedule them. They definitely don't seem to care about their students.

Absolute terrible experience. Cancelled my daughter's driving hour 4 times (twice when I had dropped her off). Had to pay $50 for missing 2 classes due to family vacation (which we told them before she even signed up). We give them the $50 check and then they say they need cash the night she is waiting for her certificate. Overbooked and took them over a month AFTER my daughter finished the classes for them to find time for her to finish her driving hours. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
