I went back and forth about writing a review for this driving school, but after taking my Driving test with a different driving school and explaining to them the set up this school had and watching how the course is really suppose to be set up it was easy for me to decide that other's need to know about the school and YOUR rights as a driving student "18 and older" And No I am not someone who wants to write a bad review because this women failed me, but I was failed for her own opion of me and not my driving skills, If I felt I failed for my mistakes and I wasn't smart enough to bring a witness with me then this review would not be posted, I was a lot like everyone else and thought these reviews were angry people who failed, but this lady is really sweet on the phone but after you hand her the money she changes and is not as nice as you would think. So for one I will start off with what happened at her "Driving school" with forward stop line she said that I needed to get my tires as close to the line as possible "Which the book states that you are to be within 2 feet of the line and when I did that she tried to tell me I went over it, while in the middle of the test which was not correct since I brought someone with me because I had heard of her practices and even my witness told her that was not true. But you know I shrugged it off and tried to continue with the basic skill part of the test "Even tho I was more nervous now since she felt it was right to tell me every mistake she thought I did not according to the book but according to her during the test. Then with the parallel parking she did NOT messaure my car. The space she said for me to do that in was set up for something that was way smaller then my car and when I realized that I tried to ask her and to show me "The secatary of state and other driving place I attended and PASSED said that was the law and we as the people paying have a right to see her do it since the book clearly states that there is suppose to be 6 extra feet according to your car size! She didn't move the cones one time and not to mention this course is set up in way to small of a setting. If you think this is just another person mad cause she failed them then so be it. Try it for yourself. But I will say I took this course and honestly was failed cause I questioned the cones with the parallel parking due to the back end of my car could get in there but was IMPOSSIBLE for the front end to get in the SMALL space. I am not out to hurt anyone's business I just don't want others to get taken for there money and to know there rights. I am upset that I lost $50 to this place that was very unfair she had me failed before I even got there and was late herself also. But hey as long as others are aware that she is unfair and as long as others know they have the right to question her with out her being able to fail you that's all that I am wanting people to be aware of. HER REVIEWS ARE TRUE AND NOT WRITTEN CAUSE PEOPLE WERE FAILED. Honestly even if she passed me I would of wrote the same 1 star review! This lady needs more training and or to just shut down. Her name is well know ALL OVER from Marshall to Jackson, battle creek, Albion, and beyond as the person who fails almost everyone to make money and only passes certan people! Not to mention when I was questioning about the cones and she said "well you fail" she just walked away with out telling me how I could improve or anything, which again the LAW STATES the test instructors are suppose to tell you that if you pass OR fail. She just walked away with a big smirk and ignored me because she already got what she wanted a FREE $50! I am sure with more training maybe she will understand this job is no joke and that failing people cause she wants to is not the right way to go. I will not recomend this school to anyone EVER!!!!!

I recently obtained my passenger endorsement through this driving school and I couldn't have had a better experience. Sharon made me feel comfortable from the time I called to set up my test to the time I completed it. She answered all of my questions prior to my test and found her to be very fair as my instructor. After my test was completed, she even took time out to answer some basic driving questions that I had. Thanks again Sharon for an awesome experience and I won't hesitate to call if I choose to upgrade my CDL in the future. Read Less

Totally a horrible business... if you have a check engine light on you will fail. If your car smokes a little bit you can't use it. They will take your money, fail you for engine light, then ask when you want to pay again and re schedule. Seems like a total scamming company... Read Less

Had a wonderful experience with my road test today with Sharon she did awesome. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my test. She explained throughly the few mistakes I did make. Guided me through a road test in the snow. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to do it. Read Less

DO NOT USE ANDREW PHILLIS SCHOOL OF DRIVING. Very rude! Goes out of her way to fail you so she can make more money!! Go to Star Truck Rentals. They are very professional!!. She needs to be put out of business! Read Less

Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism. Was rudely informed we must have cash, information which was not shared on the phone, then that we could use a check but would have to wait for it to clear before a certificate would be issued. The instructor told my daughter she needed to relax repeatedly.... This is a test that is set up in a way they do not practice in drivers training!!!! We will be going elsewhere to repeat the the road test!! Read Less

This is the place Togo if you want your child to come home crying after the first day. Then when you try to get a refund to change schools, she will keep your money. That's why she has you sign a form agreeing she keeps all your money (paid in full upfront) before class even starts. Many a traumatized child in our town because of this lady. For the sake of your child and their confidence behind the wheel please do not send your children here. Read Less

I sure wish I could give this school a negative 5. The Instructor filed my daughter twice when she was doing her driving road test. Both times she failed her for bad business practices, there was not any reason the fail my daughter, being that the reason she was gave was her own OPINION, and not based on the rules. She scammed us out of $150! This woman is wicked, and PLEASE avoid taking your teen to her school, because I am here to tell you your teen will have low self-esteem when they are done! Go elsewhere, you'll be glad you did!!!! Read Less

I took drivers training at Andrew Philips 5 years ago and hated every single day of it. I still cringe as I go by the school. The instructor screams, grabs students arms as they are driving, and puts them down constantly. Most of the kids in my class cried once or twice. The school does well with the kids who have had driving experience beforehand, they practically expect them to. Read Less

DO NOT allow your child to take driver's training from this school and it's owner, Sharon Heath. My daughter's hands were not in a correct position during a turn. Instead of stopping the vehicle and explaining what needed to happen, she chose to hit my daughter on the arm. There is never a situation where a "teacher" should hit a student. If there was a true emergency use the emergency break. Please do not subject your child to this type of instruction...take them elsewhere for driver's training. Read Less

Made my child cry the on her first drive. Yelled and said she was going to slow in a parking lot. This was her first time ever driving a car. Same thing when they got on the road, instructor yelled , my child was in tears the rest of the day and did not want to ever drive a car again. The clasroom materials are worse. Classroom books are just various copied papers put in a binder. You cannto find any of the informaiton for the homework in the book they give you. Very sloppy and poorly put togther. They also make you sign a paper that say they can charge you 25$ if your child does not wear sneakers to drive, and 500$ if the school car gets scratched. Read Less
