Report
This place is a joke. I will report them to the state. They got the money for the scholarship but never call back for the classes is already paid. They never answer the phone and always someone has covid as an excuse. My son did the classes on December 18, but I still didn't hear from them. when I went there the rude lady yelled at me that everyone had covid. I am sorry but is not my business I need to have what is paid for. MY SON IS A HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM, SO THE LADY TOLD ME HE IS NOT ABLE. REALLY NO ONE SAY THAT TO ME! HE IS ABLE TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO! THIS PLACE IS A SHAME BUT I WILL MAKE A REPORT BECAUE THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATE.

If you think you need help, especially for driving. Call Jenna even if your driving record is decent. Besides, it may get you an insurance discount.

My son said the driver was nice. Only complaint, I ask him to wear a mask he said that if he hadn't caught Covid19 yet then he will not be catching it. I had my son wear two mask sadly we will not be going back because I specifically ask the lady who took my money did the driver wear a mask and she said yes. I work in the hospital everyone has there opinion. But I see people battling Covid19 everyday.
