All I have to say is if you get Darlene for your driving instructor on your road test it's an automatic fail. She has failed my son and 2 of his friends in a matter of a 2 months and all for the same reasons. She was very rude and made my son come home crying because she made him more nervous than he already was. He took the practice test on his last lesson and passed with no mistakes, but once he gets in the car with her it was an automatic fail. She didn't even give him a chance to pass he stepped in the car and knew what was going to happen. I'm sorry to any kids who have to experience a road lesson from her in the future.

A complete scam! Should of read the reviews. Rude, unprofessional, witnessed another driver literally harassed. Had to report to Attorney Generals office and BBB for a refund! Btw, if you ask for a refund in person they will threaten to call the cops and switch the blame on you. A joke!

I regret not reading reviews prior to this appointment. This business is a complete scam. The staff is rude, unethical and should be discredited. After the fact, from what I have heard, you only get passed if you are their student/paid for lessons. How biased and unfair is that?! Essentially, you have to "buy" a license through them. It doesn't matter how good of a driver you are. I only paid for the road test, $120. Assuming there would be a refresher lesson and that the school would be driving me to the RMV. Nope.
There is no refresher lesson (like I was told on the phone) and the lesson happens in the school parking lot. I was completely blindsided. I was then failed over a technicality before I even took the test. What did I pay $120 for?! Complete scammers and waste of time, do not recommend
