I would give them a 0 if it was a choice. The owner, Brandon, must not care that these ratings are real, from real parents and students. My son was a student and drove with Kathy. She has terrible reviews for a reason. I wish I never gave them a dime $380 too late. She was so rude, never greeting us. Waved us with her FINGER from her car so she didn't have to get out in the cold. She gave us 0 idea as to what rules are while driving or even a nice chat as to good luck toward my son. I, as the mother spoke and she rudely cut me off. I made a comment about it being rush hour. She was a miserable person who should not be working with people. At the end she said I may speak about anything, weather, sports, just not talk about his driving(should have said this in the beginning?!)The manager said she has only not passed 4 students out of 44,000. No I didn't hear that wrong. Who are they passing then. Big tippers? My son drove rush hour, smooth, perfect speed in horrible traffic ect. They apparently all lie at Courtesy and the owner Brandon just wants our money. She didn't pass him and was rushing to go home to say as of why. The manager I spoke with said he did things that Kathy blatantly lied about. As a parent I want my son to be safe. If he wasn't ready I would understand. This was a money trap. The ratings are real. They are the worst school for real reasons. Read Less

Courtesy did a great job teaching my child. The communication from the start was clear and thorough. The classes taught my child everything that was required by the State. No issues with the driving time. They have some pretty high standards for the final road test to get your license, as it should be. I want my child to be a safe driver. Read Less

They charge us an arm and a leg to just sit here and work on worksheets that WE CANT EVEN WRITE ON when we paid so much. I learned absolutely nothing from here, I learned it all from my parents I will be taking segment 2 and doing my tests at premiere driving school it is much better. Read Less

Terrible instructors, overpriced and useless instructors. I learnt no more than I had before and spent nearly a thousand dollars just to get my license. What a huge scam, its a shame that students must go through this grieving process. I also had been cancelled on 3 time for my drives during the fist segment because the instructor, "didn't feel like it." I highly recommend going through a more organised and sophisticated company with actual morals rather then just making money. Read Less

Saw some negative reviews so was kind of nervous. However, everyone we dealt with was nice. I met 2 of the driving instructors and they were great. My daughter had no issues with the place, everything went just fine. Read Less

My son took his road test today with PEP BOYS Sterling Heights location Courtesy Driving School and what a terrible experience! The instructor, Kathy, was unprofessional, impolite, and impersonal/ZERO personality. The moment my son and I met her I sensed something was not right. It would have been nice to have been greeted with something such as "Hello, how are you today?" Instead, she honked her horn at us and then when we approached her vehicle she rattled off the required documents and finished by saying "fifty-five" (55); meaning, just hand over $55 Cash. Prior to the road test she did NOTHING to ease my son's tension/nervousness with any small conversation or pleasantness. I even attempted to stir up a light conversation but to no avail. As the road test began, my son was still very tense and uncomfortable with Kathy's staunch, uptight disposition. This type of behavior does not lend itself well to attaining good results from a beginning driver. I earnestly hope Courtesy Driving School talks with Kathy regarding her attitude and behavior. A road test instructor shouldn't make someone feel soooooo tense while driving! What a horrendous experience. At this time, I would highly recommend not taking your Road Test with Kathy as your instructor. Read Less

I called Courtesy Driving School and booked a driving test in Lake Orion. The examiner, Susan Irene, immediately made me feel at ease, was friendly, personable and explained very clearly what to expect on my road test. It was nothing but a pleasant experience for me, considering I was nervous about my test. Others have had bad experiences with this school but it seems a lot has to do with the personality of the person you are dealing with. Read Less
