Hi everyone.  Just a quick note on Greg's Driving School.  We went to Greg's because they offered the driving class at Quince Orchard HS.  Unfortunately, what they didn't tell us was that there would be no "In Car" available at QOHS.  As you've probably guessed, this is a problem. When I telephoned in early June, I was told that they would work on scheduling a drive time at QO.  When I called back on August 15th, I was informed that they could not arrange any "In Car" from QO for over a month.  No apology for no call back.  No notice, no accommodation, no recourse, no call back.  Terrible customer service.  Big thumbs down.

I absolutely loved Greg's (as much as you can love a mandatory driver's ed course). I took a summer session at one of the local high schools and found the instructors to be thoughtful, engaging, and disciplined. Office organization was strong as well.I'm out of high school, so I think I was more aware of the instructors' pedagogy than the others in my class. We had two instructors - I forget the name of the second, but the first was Mr. Young. He was strict but very, very good (his cold calling and high level of classroom discipline kept the students awake and accountable, which is hard to do with high school students in the summer!). The second instructor was more laid-back but still disciplined - he had a lot of real-life anecdotes that kept us engaged and the material relevant. I think both instructors did a great job of emphasizing safe driving and encouraging information retention in a way that felt real to high school students. I had imagined driver's ed as a very dry, necessary evil but was glad that the classroom portion was much more bearable (and dare I say, productive) than that.Greg's was also very reasonably priced (around $300 for a two-week classroom course and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction). I would recommend having driven quite a bit before doing the behind-the-wheel sessions, as you will get more mileage (pun intended) from your lessons that way. I probably had around 40 hours of practice before my sessions, which meant I could work more on technique/form.Regarding office organization, Sara Gammon is absolutely wonderful and will schedule things, answer questions, etc. very quickly. I had no issues scheduling the classroom or the behind-the-wheel sessions. I realize that your experience in driver's ed will vary largely on the instructors you get, but I had a pleasant experience with Greg's and hope you luck out as well! Read Less

Maybe everyone was having a bad day in the earlier reviews here, but my experience with Greg's has been wonderfully easy. The MVA is infamous for not making things clear for us all, but this school really went out of their way to help me with the entire process! The office staff are all awesome and have a lot of patience with scheduling, especially with my hectic schedule. I definitely recommend this place above other schools in the area. There's a bit of wait for drive times, but that comes with all aspects of obtaining a license in Maryland. The smaller schools in the area have waiting lists and the MVA road test times are months out, so it all worked out! Read Less

I went to the Rockville location as an adult learner for additional driving lessons. I've been in accidents as a passenger before and have a lot of anxiety about operating a vehicle. I tried to find a driving school that had offers specifically for adult drivers, and eventually found this one. The reviews were good, so I figured I'd give it a try.The administrative office staff are excellent. When I originally wanted to buy their package deal of seven lessons and a car rental for the test, they asked me how many hours I actually needed and determined that it was a better deal for me to take five sessions. I appreciated that - they wanted me to get what I needed and not waste my money.  They did everything in their power to make the sessions work with my schedule. Unfortunately, this is where the good part of the review ends.The actual sessions, however, left much to be desired. One instructor fell asleep while I was driving near the end of our session. Another one, upon seeing me looking at my phone to check the time before entering the vehicle or even starting the session, used profanity and raised his voice at my regarding my phone usage. It's one thing to tell me to turn my phone off if I were getting in the car, headphones on, but when I'm just getting to the location and I haven't even gotten near the vehicle? No thanks - not the tone anyone wants when going to a place that provides a service for which they paid. And it's inappropriate.In my last session, I was informed that I had been given outdated and incorrect information about the driving test and driving expectations by the instructors (turning on red lights, how to hold the steering wheel), in addition to being sworn at by the instructor. While I was glad to have gotten the correct information (I hope), it really put a damper on my confidence in the competence of the instructors. While I got the behind-the-wheel experience, I felt like I left my sessions there did more harm than good. I got conflicting information from instructors, which when coupled with the overall negative attitudes and insults of the instructors, left me feeling like I had no clue what to do behind the wheel. This is what I paid to receive, and I don't feel I got it.I ended up contacting their administrative offices and canceling all my other sessions. Thankfully, I did get a refund. I would not recommend this business to others, and I personally will be looking elsewhere. Read Less

I do not recommend this driving school to anyone.My son took the driver's ed course here during Spring Break this year, and had been trying to make appointments for the actual driving lesson for the past TWO months.  These people are non-responsive, and had  to reschedule his driving lesson a couple of times.  Finally, my son got all his appointments in, showed up for his first driving lesson then realized the appointment specialist did not confirm the schedule with the instructor.  People here are non-responsive and irresponsible after they take your money.
