Horribly run, nobody to ask questions, and abusive testers. Do not go under any circumstances. I have been calling for a week to make a complaint but get disconnected every time. Public servants should be helpful snd respectful, not insensitive and cruel.

By far the worst place I've ever been too. After my 5 hour wait I finally got to do my test and when I submitted it and I was told to wait.. so wait I did and after 45 minutes I finally go back up and ask are you done marking my test. Which they reply with what test we don't have yours. I told them I handed it in they didn't believe me they blamed it on me said I lost it and was just sitting here and wasting their time. Of course after about an hour they found it underneath the chair.
A separate time we went there they gave us a number to let us know our spot in line however when our number was finally called a couple of hours later they wouldn't serve us because we lost our number. We lost that little tiny piece of paper with her number on it which there is no sign that says hold on to it or that this is important in any way when I was here before it wasn't required. so they wouldn't let me in.

I had my G test scheduled on a day which ended up being cancelled due to snow. The website says they would call me the next day to reschedule. It has been nearly 5 months, I have called several times and nobody answers the phone. I don't live near this place, but I guess I'll be driving out there to reschedule.

After running into problems exchanging my license from the USA and being turned away after a long wait, I sent an email asking for extra assistance from DriveTest and was very happy with how things unfolded after that. The manager of the Oakville location reached out to me right away and I was able to go in and meet with her directly without having to wait again or take a number. Great customer service, they were really understanding and willing to help me out as long as I did my part (which I did). Thanks!

Writing my G2 test was fine...but I had to go back to renew my licence. I was confused about the ticket process and grabbed more than 1. To be kind I let them know I have more than one ticket so they dont wait - this lady lost her mind at me for letting her know. Also they "lost" my paperwork and I had to wait 8 MONTHS for them to figure out what was going on and get me my licence.

I did my G Road Test today.. My appointment was at 12:00noon.. I can and registered half an hour earlier but ended up doing my test at 1:00pm.. Apparently someone was there checking their examiners.. Some sort of Quality Control I’m assuming based from what the desk staff told us.. Even though I waited a long time, my examiner was really nice.. Gave instructions well ahead of time.. Had a good experience all in all..

the wait times are horrendous doesnt matter when you go. Parking is hit and miss. Its obvious another location needs to be opened in Oakville or more staff to be made available. No way should it take the 3 - 4 hours to get service.

So far we've waited for 4 hours with no signs of having our number called. I should've built a better version of DriveTest and helped everyone in line while I waited in line. Do not come here unless you have an entire day to waste in the most boring way imaginable. Bring food, a phone charger, maybe even a change of clothes.

Went there this week and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly and quick service, especially after reading all the negative reviews. From Registration till leaving the centre, I interacted with 3 counter staff and 1 examiner, all of them were courteous and helpful.
A special mention for the examiner, through his friendly demeanor helped calm my nerves as I drove through a torrential downpour. Yes the wait times are long, but I think its unfair to blame the staff, each one of them was doing their best to manage the crowd.

While I agree with many of the reviews regarding the long wait times, I must say that the staff deserve 5 stars. I had missed my turn by ONE person and the staff were kind to direct me to a line where I can be assisted - this saved me from taking a new ticket number and waiting for another 2 hours! Shoutout to Ashley for being so kind and understanding - Thank you!

Abysmal setup. Poor signage. Willfully ignorant staff. An alphanumeric ticket system that makes it impossible to calculate your wait time (3 hours and counting now). Seats for less than half the people in here. Nowhere near the amount of parking required. Most of the kiosks don't work. Other than that, it's simply an awful way to spend a day. Bring sustenance.

Terrible. They don't answer the phone (I tried 16 times this morning) so you are forced to actually go there to even have a question answered. The wait times are horrendous. Place is packed. No parking. Lines move extremely slow. Plan to be there all day. If they would answer the phone they could probably save themselves a lot of grief in person. Go somewhere else if you can.

After three failed attempts to even get in the door at the Brampton centre, I took a day off work, pulled my son out of school, and drove to Orangeville to take his G1 test. We arrived shortly before noon and were told it would be a three hour wait. They would not allow us in the building to get a ticket with a number, because there were so many people inside they were over fire code. We waited outside in the cold for THREE HOURS without getting a ticket. When I went in to ask, I was yelled at!
