I have nothing good to say about this Company, Unless you speak Punjab than you seem to have a very little chance in even getting them to train you. After phoning them and emailing them several times to try and organise times etc I've given up attempting to do any business with them.. It shouldn't be a difficult task!! I did make contact with them via email and was instructed to ring the following day which I did and was told to ring back in 30 Minutes as the guy couldn't understand english and then was hung up on. Tried to ring back twice with no answer and followed up with emails to no avail. Read Less

Top five reasons I would recommend this school: flexible schedule, affordable pricing, safe comfortable environment, and understanding instructor, diversify culture and high success rates."I started Class 3 training at Abbotsford Driving School on Jan.12,2016 and successfully passed road test." It took approximately two weeks 14 days training and I was fully prepared for road test.One things I liked about Abbotsford Driving School I had very flexible schedule to learn and instructor allowed me practice pre trip and airbrake inspection anytime as much as I want; also while I was learning pre-trip inspection at same time I had chance to teach other students; as a result, my overall performance on Road Test pass day improved.The price was very affordable. In some cases, the school may offer promotional package deal if you are a quick learner or have little bit experience driving small commercial truck in foreign country, but if you are a slow learner not able to get package deal I would suggest to take hourly lesson still cheaper rates than surroundingcompanies.

I had a terrible experience with this place. First of all, I didn't get to finish all of my lessons! The instructor told me I had no more lessons even though I had a good four lessons to go. Secondly, the instructor is never available! When I go to get my lesson, I was usually sent back and told to come back later and never contacted. The lessons that i did get were always cut short and I even ended up having to teach the new students what I had learned while the instructor was on the phone DURING MY LESSON! I do not recommend this driving school to any one. Don't let the price fool you! Read Less

I attended the Abbotsford Driving School for several reasons. Firstly was because the pricing was competitive and secondly the person I spoke to on the phone had perfect English. Those were the only two good things that happened as from there it was a painfully bad experience.
First off was the class room instructor. She was the most unprofessional person I think I have ever had as an instructor. Each and every time I asked a question she had to dive into the text book to find the answer as she seemed not to know the answer off the top of her head. At times she rambled and jumped from subject to subject seeming not knowing what to do next. The class teaching time was cut short on both days with much of the subject matter in the text book not being covered. We were told to read and re-read the text book on our own before our test. She spent much of her time fiddling with her person, adjusting her clothing as if in a fashion show and also gave the impression there was somewhere she needed to be and something far more important to do than teach the paying students. She talk down to us and treated us as one would children. The kicker was when she blaitenly hit on one of the students in front of the entire class.
I was required to pay in cash which the instructor put in her pocket on her person and not with the rest of the money she collected. Dishonest? Stealing?
This was the worst experience I have ever had in any classroom, but there's more. When I finally went for my pre-trip training, the instructor I found did not speak English or at best broken English and this forced me to repeat the entire project with another school as I felt I was not prepared to take my test and as I could not understand the driving instructor I was not comportable taking driver training from him. When I asked for a refund I was told, "Good Luck" and told to basically get lost.
Stupid me for not checking out this business well enough before hand.
Just a warning, the Abbotsford Driving School is not for English speaking people and above all, maybe not all that honest a company to do business with. But if your just looking for a date, well then maybe, but a pretty expensive date. Read Less
