Really good experience with driving instructors. Bad experience with the driving tester. Didn't feel encouraged at all.

Do not go to this place! They conduct there business purely with profit and money making in mind. You will end up investing substantial amount of time and money and they will make sure you do. You will be suggested for some initial lessons and then failed in multiple tests. Then will be suggested for more exhaustive lesson.  I  am feeling CHEATED. its a ripoff and once you get there you are stuck with them.The front desk will stop showing courtesy once you ask questions or start doubting.I  will not recommend it to anyone.

I came to the US 8 years ago and I settled nicely on the East Coast where I did not need to drive and owning a car was a burden rather than a convenience. In March of 2017 I learned two things: 1. I was coming to Denver and 2. I needed a car for the first time in my life. Daunting as the task seemed, I took a few driving lessons before coming to Denver and enrolling with DriveSafe. The enrollment was smooth, a mere phone call and classes were scheduled at MY earliest convenience. On one drizzly evening of my first class, I huddled on the corner at the SE Aurora office. Enter Ron: His broad grin and effervescent character spread through the room like a wildfire. The usual small talk turned into a significant conversation to find where I was in my learning. Not once did I feel judged or doubted, instead Ron started to build my confidence even before we stepped into the car. I have to admit that I am not the easiest to impress but I couldn't help it when Ron used references from my work to teach me how to drive. "Look, you check your patients' vital signs every morning right?" I nodded in agreement and Ron needed no further encouragement, "Now think about driving through an intersection as checking those vitals, your left is the temperature, your right is the heart rate, then the back, well, that's your physical exam doc."  Whoah - that made just perfect sense! I could go forever about Ron's witty banter but I think the summary of it is that Ron's rich and diverse cultural and professional background makes him unique in that he can instantly connect with anyone. He is a compassionate teacher who meets his students where they are, and does everything to teach not just basic driving but essential tips of the road. I begged the office to schedule me for all my subsequent classes and road test with Ron, and everyone duly obliged. Today, I am an independent driver and I feel very confident about not only keeping myself safe on the road but also looking out for fellow road users. My sincerest gratitude to Ron and DriveSafe. I highly recommend this school for all adult learners. Read Less

Not impressed. In the driving "classes" the teacher said they were basically there to  "fill up" the required class time. Kids were drawing pictures and other useless busy work, instead of learning valuable information about safe driving.Drivesafe advertises "2 hour behind the wheel" drives, but the instructors take 10-15 minutes of that time for paperwork and other administrative protocol which should NOT be included in the "behind the wheel" time. Saying the student will receive 2 full hours of "behind the wheel" is false advertising. If it's not 120 minutes, then say so!This time adds up when you consider that out of five 2-hr behind the wheel sessions, the student ends up with not 10 hours, but 8.5 or 9 hours instead. That's one paid hour GONE. And when you consider what they charge for that hour that they "take away", it's a pretty penny out of the customer's pocket. I will say that the driving instructors themselves seemed to do an okay job. Not a whole lot of instruction, but our son reported that they were pretty relaxed.We were told they had a money back guarantee for any remaining lessons when we signed up. They said that if a customer wasn't satisfied or moved away or something prior to finishing out the lessons, they would refund the unused portion. But when we decided to cash out on the rest of this joke of a program, we were given the run around and then a huge hassle. Deborah at the Tech Center said she had NEVER made this verbal promise to us and refused to give us the refund. After speaking with someone higher up in the chain of command (which seems to be the standard mode of operations with this company) she called us back and said that her supervisor would authorize a credit for the rest of our purchase. Bottom line, we were very disappointed with not only the program itself, but the people running it and would not recommend it. If you're a decent driver, you can teach your own kid to drive far better than this company.  Save your money.UPDATE: Since writing this review, I have seen TWO car accidents on the road in my area involving Drivesafe vehicles. Hmmm.UPDATE:Regarding the owners comment, he did not address a single issue in my review. Just a blanket statement that their company is good. Says a lot! Read Less
