I think that traffic depot was really helpful for me because the driving instructors like Albert and Tino really helped me out they were calm and really patient with my driving.π

I've never written a review before but this business takes the cake for worst of the worst.
First off, the driving instructor I had didn'tΒ know what they were talking about for the most part. One told me that it was ok to change lanes in the middle of an intersection and that same instructor is the reason why I won't have my license for another 7 months (until I turn 18). My permit was dated to expire 5 months after my original test and they told me it would be fine and to just take the driving test after it expires.
I found out 3 days before the expiration date that they were wrong and I needed to renew my permit before it expired. Obviously trying to make a DMV appointment with a 3 days notice is next to impossible.
Next, the receptionist has horrible customer service. When I called to make my appointment she started venting to me how people would call her and ask stupid questions about their permit and so on.
To add the cherry on top, the night of my last test my instructer had to go use the bathroom (mid session) so I waited in the dark parking lot around 7pm and a guy pulled up in a car next to me and in a serious tone told me, "Give me all your money" twice. I felt extremely uncomfortable and he proceeded to say he was kidding and it was a joke. Turns out he was an employee at Traffic Depot.
Lastly, beware. In fine print they write that if you wait more than a few months after you first sign up for the training there is an additional fee. $390 down the drain later I do not recommend this establishment whatsoever.
For a business who specializes in driving education I expected much more.
Absolutely disgusted and very disapointed. I will not be recommending anybody to get their driver's training here. Read Less

Tino was really great, easy to work with, nice, and made me feel more comfortable with being behind the wheel on my first lesson. He was super helpful!

I finished my behind the wheel training 2 days ago and decided to take my dmv drive test the day after and I passed with only 2 errors. I love all 3 of my instructors David, Edwin, and Chelsea. All 3 were very knowledagble, corteous and made me feel very confident while training. The only thing that made me anxious is when they go on their phones for about 3-5 minutes. But, all in all staff were friendly and would definitely recommend Traffic Depot! Read Less

I do NOT recommend this place at all. The instructors smoke in the car, not when you are driving with them, but it smells horrible in the vehicle. My instructor was only 21 years old, and it states on your permit that the person driving with the minor must be 25. They picked me up with a spare tire on the car, which is completely dangerous. We paid a lot of money for this service and you can tell where they cut corners. Read Less

I completed my 3rd lesson today with Traffic Depot with Jeannine. I had a different instructor with each lesson, The first 2 were fine, they both answered their phones while i was driving which made me kinda nervous but all in all were fine. But today I had the worst experience ever. Jeannine was so rude to me i almost cried multiple times in the car with her, she straight up told me i was going to fail while laughing at me, said "Oh my god, you don't know that? Wow." probably 10 times, laughed at me so many times i cant even tell you, grabbed the wheel and made me swerve multiple times, almost causing us to hit someone once, told me she would see me in her traffic violations class and is apparently the boss. It was terrible-especially with her being the boss. I definitely do not recommend Traffic Depot. Read Less

I applied online for behind the wheel training, paid and then had to call the office to schedule an appointment. The owner said I still had to come into the office to sign paper work. I thought the whole idea of doing it online was not to have to do that. I signed everything and then they tell me they don't have any appointments for two weeks!! So, I still made the appointment, because I needed to. I called around to other places and they had openings right away. I called Traffic Depot to cancel their services and now am jumping through hoops to try to get my money back. Bad business all around. Go some where else, it might cost a little more but you won't get cheated in the end. Read Less

I was glad to have found Traffic Depot and it was just by accident. I saw one of their yellow cars and followed it to get the number, I was surprised to find that they were just a short distance from our home in Clovis. My daughter had already taken her Drivers Education at Central Driving school on Bullard but after passing her test at the DMV, they were going to have her wait almost two months to schedule her first drive and activate her permit. Traffic Depot told me they have a pollicy that gives the students first drive within just a few days. When I called the other school to get my money back, they were rude and all of a sudden their schedule opened up, they even tried to put the other school down and didn''t even know their name.
