Probably one of the worst experiences of my life, I hate this school I hate all of the teachers, extremely boring class and the driving teacher made me cry because frankly, he's an ass hole, an old crotchety ass hole. When my driving test was over I told the man I wanted to get out because my dad was waiting for me and he said no, I told him three times until he said fine and slammed on the breaks. Impatient, rude, and disrespectful. DO NOT GO HERE. Read Less

I can't tell you how many times I see the instructors breaking traffic laws - not setting a good example.

Our daughter is so traumatized after viewing numerous videos detailing tragic fatalities and vehicular homicides in the DE class that she is scared to even ride as a passenger in a car let alone get behind the wheel! I am extremely upset that we have invested $400 for our 15 year ols to be exposed to these excessive scare tactics that she was in no way emotionally prepared to handle. There is absolutely NO parental information/ permission/caution regarding the level of emotional trauma kids are going to be exposed to in this course which is unethical and not OK in any way! I will actively discourage anyone who will listen NOT to use this organization for Drivers Education! Read Less

Passed my driving test here right away. Instructor was very nice and was able to schedule my test right away. This place is a bit more expensive ,but totally worth it.

(I posted this review on their Facebook as well.) This is just my personal 2 Cents about this Business. I used Conohan's for their Driving Test Service (so I cannot speak for their education or classroom courses with this review), which is a privatized way of getting your license instead of scheduling with the DMV. First, let me tell anyone who is interested in using this service- it costs $55 to do a Drive Test with them, and you still are eligible to fail. If you DO fail, Conohan's DOES NOT offer discounted retakes- so you are required to pay them $55 more dollars to take the test. Something they neglect to tell you, is if you fail and retest- you of course will pay THEM for 2 tests, BUT YOU WILL ALSO BE CHARGED A $15 RETEST FEE at the DMV when you get your license. The sheer cost of this test makes my stomach turn, especially knowing they're charging this to a clientele of mostly teens. The price is inflated, and is not reflective of the quality service they provide: I only dealt with one lady, and that was the Owner's Daughter- she acted as the appointment scheduler and the drive instructor for both of my tests. When I called to schedule, she was friendly enough- but did not offer much information without being asked and pushed multiple times for me to schedule a test. When asked for more information she was VERY curt, and said "Sorry, just REALLY busy here." and seemed inconvenienced by my questions. The vehicle you test in is an older model Chrysler PT Cruiser- the interior is not pristine or particularly clean. Which doesn't promote a comfortable environment for the test- it is also equipped with a Passenger Rearview Mirror for the Instructor AS WELL AS AN INSTRUCTOR BRAKE which the woman I tested with used on my first attempt without proper cause, IN MY OPINION, but that is a moot point. The test is very simple, odds are you don't need to practice what you think you need to. But one thing I advise is knowing Suburban Neighborhoods and their hazards, as well as being VERY aware at intersections. The test overall is fairly simple, but honestly it's all about getting lucky and testing during a slow traffic hour- because if you're like me, and initially tested and failed because of other reckless driver's it can become a financial nightmare. So, once again: $55 PER Driving Test, IF YOU HAVE TO RETEST YOU WILL BE CHARGED $15 ON TOP OF THE LICENSE FEE OF $26 AT THE DMV. The reason this place is getting a low rating from me is the prices, which are quite honestly cruel and disgusting to charge to teen driver's. As well as my knowledge that they schedule probably over a dozen back to back appointments and likely make $700 a day off of License Tests alone. My recommendation? If you aren't in a rush for your license, just schedule with the DMV- there's no added pressure with them and you can bring your own vehicle to test with if you do it through the state. Don't support this businesses inflated and unreasonable prices if you can help it. Read Less

They may or may not have good prices and be able to teach kids how to drive, but when behind the wheel themselves they're terrible drivers. So many times driving around fort collins I've been cut off, nearly rear ended and generally feared for my life by the obviously instructors driving decions. How do I know its the instructors? There's only one person in the car Read Less
