Giving it 5 stars. I went in yesterday, it has been about 20 years since i had to take a driving test. The gentlemans name i believe his name was Byron made the test comfortable for me and explained everything very well with what was going on. It was worth my time and money, and if i had to do it again i would go there. Read Less

It's a great place. Specifically is James, he is my tester and instructor also. He is very friendly and nice. He taught me how to drive safely. I will recommend everyone to come here. The best place!!! Read Less

I had a fantastic experience with my instructor! Though at the moment his name escapes me. I passed with only one issue and the instructor was very calm and patient with me. I was very nervous the entire time, but the instructor did his best to assure me as we did the test. Was quick and easy! Highly recommend this place! Read Less

I called in to get behind the wheel driving instructions, and when the receptionist picked up, she asked how she could help me and as I was explaining what I wanted, she simply hung up on me. Extremely rude customer service and do not recommend Read Less

The receptionist who answered the phone was incredibly rude. I was just trying to get information because online shows me nothing i was asking and she spoke to me like i was unintelligent. I don't appreciate snarky attitudes when I'm just trying to get things sorted, especially when I'm considering giving them my money. Read Less

Please take heed and don't waste your time or money. As a college student, I had recently left class and we made it to the Academy School of Driving for a 1530 appointment at 1531, was told that we were four minutes late. Looked at are phones and watches and the time said 1532. To my knowledge, it takes time to walk in general. With all the rudeness, not even a single greeting or introduction was given. She was very disrespectful from the start. During the test, I was marked for not stopping completely, not looking over my shoulder, did not check my mirrors, and miscommunication of a turn signal and merging. All of these were falsely justified, including the fact that I had changed a left turn signal to the right turn signal while still in the parking lot before we even left. Her reply during the debrief as I said I saw and heard the changes I made were, "well I didn't see it." In addition, I tend to openly express what I see at all times while I am driving as I also noticed when she decided to start making marks. I believe it is a general rule of thumb to mark mistakes as soon as they are seen. Not when we are driving on a straight rode and you decide to make 5 or so marks at once after nothing has even happened. Moreover, the fact that I was blamed for going off course because a driver did not allow for me to merge or marking off because I notice a pedestrian trying to get in his car on the same side of the street as me (I can go on). I would rather be safe than sorry. Yet, it is astonishing that I was failed because they were all reasons that were altered to the view of the test giver rather than the actual test. Feeling the vibe when we walked in and the rudeness of the lie that we were four minutes late, we should have trusted our gut and just left. Do not take a test with people who have the mental reservation to fail you based on your ethnicity and what other biases she held at the time. There was no integrity to that test, and I wish I had read the reviews before going. As this place was recommended to me, no matter how hard i would try, I would fail to recommend this in the best light to anyone. I'm disappointed that things like this still happen. Thank you American Driving Academy for adding an experience that I would never want anyone else to go though. My apologies for switching up the name, but as I recall you are located next to the DMV in a reddish building. Also, I have already made the mistake with the building not far from you, and I assure you that if I were wrong and unjust, then I would own up to it. Thank you for your time. Read Less

James oversaw my driving test, and I knew from the offset that this guy was no nonsense and wasn't going to fail me for financial or frivolous reasons. I had a bad experience at academy school of driving right across the parking lot... Basically they stole my money. So yeah don't go to academy school of driving. But my experience at American driving academy with James was brief, professional, and honest the way these test should be. Read Less

I paid $50 to take a driving test because it was more convenient than the Department of Revenue and I was crunched for time. I arrived 30 minutes early only to find out that they were already running behind in the driving test schedule. One woman went before me and, to my surprise, was failed by her instructor (unfortunately I do not recall his name). When it was my turn to take the test, he seemed friendly enough so I was not worried because I have been practicing all of the driving laws to a tee for months. After the test, the instructor told me I had 10 points off and was only allowed two. Five of the points were "incomplete stops." These were not incomplete stops because when I stopped, I watched the speedometer go to "zero", count to three, then I proceeded. When asked if I had any questions about the points that were taken off, the instructor replied to my comments about the incomplete stops with a snarky, "they weren't complete." He then told me that for FORTY MORE DOLLARS, I could retest and sent me on my way. It made me feel as though all the academy wanted was my money, and I'm sure the woman before me felt the same way. Do not recommend. Read Less

I cannot recommend this school enough. Originally, I went to their competitor, National Driver Training, where I was treated very badly. I left that establishment, made an appointment for American Driving Academy Inc., and passed their test with flying colors. At the National Driver Training, the instructor was very rude, very critical and made me extremely uncomfortable before we even left the parking lot.At the American Driving Academy, my instructor was an extremely kind, very personable man, named Keith. While we drove along the route, we held a conversation about the neighborhood where we were driving, and camper-vans. It might not have seemed like much, but it really helped to calm me down and reassured me that I was doing fine. I never felt criticized, and I never felt belittled. It was as if I was taking a friend for a drive. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone in need of their driving test. The staff was wonderful, and walk-ins are welcomed. If you're fortunate enough to get Keith, as your instructor, then you'll receive the best, and most fair assessment of your driving that any place has to offer. Read Less

I drove with Rebecca for lessons. She was nice and funny and I learned a lot driving with her for my lessons that will help me. She seems to love teaching and love her job. I recommend her for driving lessons. Read Less
