I'd like to give Bond Driving School major kudos. Was not able to find a certificate needed for a new driver in the family taking his test in an hour. Called Bond to see if the could FAX or email a copy. Was told the DMV will only accept an original. They knew we were under a time crunch and found an instructor to courier over a replacement document immediately. They met us off HWY50 and Sunrise on our way to the Folsom DMV. They went the extra mile for their customer! In this case miles :-) Thank You Bond Driving School Read Less

We got a great deal since I have 2 drivers in the house.  My daughter did well with her classes and still practicing before her test.  I do appreciate the calls when things do happen with their drivers. My son has had an interesting time so far. They moved up his 1st appointment.  The second just got changed from 1 day to another.  Thankfully the same week. Like I said it's been different with both kid's in their program.  I do appreciate the calls regarding when things happen, but maybe make phone calls before the drive. Overall it has been good.

Their driver in their Prius just ran the stop sign in front of my house doing 40 mph while my children were clearly playing in in the front yard. Way to set a great example for their students.

I wanted to work on getting my driver's license as soon as possible in Feb, while most surrounding driving schools told me I had to wait until April, I found bond driving school who said they can take me right away.  Here I am with my driver's license at mid march, i couldn't practice at home because I don't have a car. After five 2-hours lessons, so I've only been driven 10 hours in my life, I passed my driver's test. Thank to my instructors who are so brave and willing to risk their lives riding with me:P The desk people was really responsible and kind. Read Less

PSA for my fellow folks with disabilities! Bond is THE place to go to learn how to drive with hand controls. First, they offer two vehicles for people with disabilities: one is a red Prius with hand controls and the other is modified van, should you need to drive from your actual chair. And, they have EIGHT different models for controls, so you can find the one that works with your ability level. Second, John is a phenomenal driving instructor. He is very calm and collected. Never gets impatient. Never raises his voice. Is always willing to explain and answer questions. He never made me feel bad about any mistakes I made, no matter how many times I made them. He was never condescending. And he is hilarious! A great person just to converse with when your lesson isn't filled with driving talk. I got my license with 18 hours of instruction and I couldn't be more thankful to Bond for helping me make that happen! Read Less

I wish I'd seen Emma's review before calling these people. What a bunch of shysters. I called for information and before hanging up they had a credit card number and I was scheduled for the whole package. At no time did they mention a "strict no refund policy." In fact they only sent that info AFTER I cancelled. They are now billing me an extra $130 for cancelling. Grand total from credit card $1455 just for the pleasure of driving around for 2 hours with an instructor--in my own vehicle! Instructor's report on driving ability showed "within normal limits" !!! I agree with Emma, Small Claims Court here we come. Read Less

I highly recommend Bond Driving School. My daughter took her driving lessons from here. It gave me such a piece of mind having an instructor help her to learn. As a parent we know how stressful it can be to sit next to them as they learn. The fact that she learned her first couple of drives with them made it easier on me. Read Less

I have used Bond Driving School for all 3 of my boys and they have done an exceptional job every time. Not only have I had them take an extended package of lessons but they also took each one to the DMV for their test when the boys were ready. I am happy to say that my 2 oldest passed the first time with no errors and my third will be taking his test in January 2017. The instructors always worked on any concerns I might have and gave the boys things to practice with me at home. They also made certain that the boys were safe and confident drivers. I would and do definitely recommend Bond Driving School. Read Less

I had to obtain training on vehicle hand controls following a motor vehicle accident that cost me my lower right leg. To have my vehicle modified to both foot and hand controls required Bond's expertise in selecting the correct equipment to meet my needs as well as providing the necessary training to safely utilize that equipment. John was my instructor and I found his knowledge, patience and expertise amazing. Anyone who incurs a handicap/disability that impacts their ability to drive safely should contact Bond for assistance. Excellent training program. Read Less

THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING SCHOOL EVER!!! THEY REFUSE TO GUARANTEE THEIR SERVICE SO DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY UP FRONT LIKE THEY REQUIRE (THAT'S A HUGE RED FLAG- "I'VE GIVEN YOU NO SERVICE, BUT GIVE ME YOUR $"). THEY REFUSED TO CALL US BACK, REFUSED TO TAKE OUR CALLS, REFUSED TO REFUND OUR $248 FOR NO SERVICES RENDERED, & REFUSED TO REFUND WHEN WE DISPUTED THE CHARGE THROUGH OUR BANK, STATING, "WE HAVE A NO REFUND POLICY." SO THIS IS THEIR POLICY: "WE, BOND, TAKE YOUR MONEY FIRST WITHOUT PROVIDING SERVICE YET, DON'T CARE IF YOUR DISSATISFIED WITH THE ZERO SERVICE PROVIDED, DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE LETTING YOUR DAUGHTER DRIVE WITH US DUE TO OUR NON-RESPONSIVENESS TO YOU, & EVEN IF YOU DISPUTE THE CHARGE WITH YOUR BANK WE REFUSE TO REFUND BECAUSE THAT $248 IS OURS!!!" WHAT BUSINESS OPERATES THIS WAY?! WE HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH THE BANK, & REPORT THEM TO THE BBB & WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF NEEDED BECAUSE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE A BUSINESS LIKE THIS, WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY CARE ABOUT $248 FOR?! ARE THEY THAT DESPERATE?! I HAD TO GIVE THEM 1 STAR IN ORDER TO POST, WHAT A JOKE THEY DESERVE -10 STARS! Read Less

I found driving schools that were SLIGHTLY cheaper but decided to go with Bond because my sister's kids had a good experience there. The instructors were prompt and really patient with my 15 1/2 yr old son. Today, Bond picked my son up from home, drove him to the DMV, and he took the test in their car. He passed with flying colors and they returned him home. Because I'm new to the whole "teenage driving" part of motherhood, I called their office a few different times with different questions and they were always friendly and informative. My son came home from each of his lessons to share a positive experience. My 13 year old will be going to Bond in a couple years :) I don't have one negative thing to say about them. Read Less
