All Mr.G would talk about is other car accidents and people dying. He also never had the confidents or patients with my twin sister and I. He was always so negative and he would yell and get frustrated real easily. So we left. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. Very unprofessional place. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSE WHERE. Don't WAIST YOUR TIME WITH THEM. I TOOK MY TEST SOMEWHERE ELSE AND PAST LASTER SUMMER. REALLY DONT COME TO THERE SCHOOl.

Last year while I was in behind the wheel, Mr. G was my driving instructor. While I was in the car with another girl, (mind you we are underage) Mr. G made us pull into a forest preserve so he could use the bathroom. He started peeing in the middle of the forest preserve WHILE WE WERE THERE. You couldn't make us stop at a store, a gas station, or a McDonalds so you could use the bathroom? Who does that? On our parents dime, he would make us pull over so he could take a smoke break. All he would talk about is other car accidents and people dying. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. Very unprofessional place. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSE WHERE.

Our two sons took their behind the wheel instruction through Lockport #1 Driving School. The instructor was very accommodating to our family's busy schedule. We had to schedule in advance of sometimes knowing our actual schedule, but the instructor was understanding about needing to cancel and reschedule as long as we did so a few days in advance.
As far as instruction goes, my husband and I believe it was outstanding! Of course we were not in the car to witness this personally, but every time my husband or I drove our sons somewhere after they completed a session, we were reminded by our sons of all the correct rules for safe driving! I was very pleased they were paying attention and learning! I was also reminded how much we, as parents, are watched by our children and how important it is to set a good example.
My husband and I are very comfortable riding as passengers in our car now when a son of ours is driving. We give Lockport #1 Driving School a great deal of credit for this!

Very much liked the style and organization of the teaching and driving lessons. We used a bigger, franchised school with our first child and I preferred Lockport #1 Driving School. Mr. G and Mr. S actually teach the kids how to drive on the road. If your child goes to Lockport Central the over the road lessons can not be any more convenient! They can be scheduled at 3:30 so the kids can walk from school to the lesson. The only negative (and it's not really a negative) is that the classroom is a small, older room on the 3rd floor that is accessible only via elevator or the stairs on the outside of the building. I would use this school again if i had a need.

The information was well kept and the homework was not over the top.
However, sometime within class, our instructor would go on little rants about sports which had no to little meaning about the subject at hand. I wish you could fix this issue. Otherwise, the instructor(s) were very friendly and helpful throughout my journey on learning how to drive!

Don't know what the driving instructor told my daughter but she quit the behind the wheel training and refused to go back because of him even though she could be getting her license next month. She said she would rather do it all over again in high school drivers ed where the instructors are nice to the students. Guess the comments were bad enough for her to quit because now she has to wait another year for her license.

My son finished the course. Passed, they got paid and never turned in his paperwork to the state of Illinois. After speaking with the Secretary of the State of Illinois. A 1 driving school can simply fill out the necessary paper work on line. After 2 months my wife phoned, they said they sen it in, told her the state of Illinois is not doing their job. She waited another month, phoned again. They told her the same thing. Bottom line is, they got their money, and quite doing their job!!!! Do not pay them until your child has completed the course and they prove to you that they completed on line or sent the necessary paper work in to the state to show the state you completed the course. They don't return phone calls, and when you get some on on the phone they tell you the person who handles that is not in today.
