People on the phone are rude. My tester jim was horrible and failed me for things I did not do. I had a witness watch the test and he told me I did not do the things I was failed for on my motorcycle test. Complete waste of my time considering I took work off to go to holland for the test. Do not schedule a test with jim. Read Less

Excellent instructors. I had let my license lapse for over 7 years (it was actually 15 years, have been riding the Rapid bus) so I had to go to S.O.S. and take the written test again, wait, and schedule a road test for at 30 days out. The test is $50, but they let you rent a car for $30 so that's $80. But since I had not driven much in 15 years I wanted practice so I paid for an hour at time. The first hour I got Adam, he is a little bit of a stickler, and stern with you. However, that is needed to break old habit, like driving with one hand, you fail the road test if you do that. Also, you fail the road test if you go 28 in a 25 mph zone twice. I wanted more practice since Adam review the rules and Michigan laws for almost 20 minutes. I scheduled a second lesson with Mary ( who use to drive the Rapid buses), and she can be a smart aleck back to someone like me. Mary made me get on the highway 196 and that was scary. The first time I would only go 45mph-60, the minimum speed is 55 if traffic conditions allow. Mary helped me getting a 3rd lesson scheduled so I go could drive on the highway for 35 min and practice parking for 15 min, and work on things that the examiner will make sure you do like checking blind spots during lane changes and before making left turns. While most like to give the instructors or examiners a bad review, I appreciate that fact that Adam told me that I was too rusty, and Mary told me, that I might pass be the skin of my teeth, unless I got an extra hour of practice in. And that 3rd hour of practice meant the difference between passing and failing. I passed because of Adam and Mary, and even did perfect on the parallel parking because of Mary's instruction. I had Bob as a state examiner. You have to make sure you do everything right with two hands, signal, check blind spots twice, and then go. I enjoyed having Bob, the only guy that talks as much as me, which can be a distraction, but even while talking you have to stay focused on the road, mirrors, and cars. Anyways, thank you Century Driving, all the schedulers that dealt with me, Adam ( even though you were stern about the round about), Mary (and the extra tips, especially thank you for all your assistance, the highway practice, and the parking practice, and you survived. Btw, I think I drive better than half the bus drivers (laughing). Century rocks. You don't get a licence because your mother or you paid for a test, you have to do everything right. I knew from the time a scheduled my test there is a chance I could fail the test, but that is why you practice ahead of time. If you park correctly and do everything legally on the road test, driving safely and checking you blind spots you should pass the test. Thanks again Century. I did pay for 3 hours of practice before I took my road test, but it was well worth it, to have instructors help you practice. Remember, I have had a license but hadn't driven much in 15 years (other than my moped). Read Less

We enjoyed our test administrator, Bob, but we had some issues with the company itself. It does not post the prerequisite documentation as clearly on its website as ither companies do . Please be sure to follow all links provided and make sure you have the right documents in your possession BEFORE making your non-refundable $49 test appointment. Also, your car needs to pass a test before it can be used in the test, so be sure there are no cracks in the windshield, and that all turn/brake/horn signals and whatnot are working perfectly--again, do this before scheduling, in case repairs are needed. If you show up for your test and do not have the proper paperwork, or if your car does not pass, you will pay another $49 to reschedule, and the terse phone rep will have zero sympathy for your plight 😑 Read Less

Took my road test today at the Rogers plaza location. Had a very pleasant experience with the tester, very laid back and gave great direction. Even in back road conditions he was calm which made me much more comfortable. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is ready to get their license. Bad reviews come from inexperienced drivers, the tester does not “fail” or “pass” any driver- the driver fails or passes themselves. Read Less

Paid $50 to take the test here (wish I had read the reviews or I never would have scheduled the test here). When I got there it was super sketchy - it's just two guys in the back of a parking lot waiting for people to test, no signs at all to find it. I had to call. Also, the area has a TON of traffic and is super packed. I could not take it because we hadn't updated the Michigan tabs. My bad, sure, but then the fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. I never took the test. So make sure you have all your documents up to date and in order and read all the other reviews. Read Less

This concerns the test site of the WYOMING HIGH SCHOOL at Prairie Pkwy SW, Wyoming, MI!!! My girlfriend is so so so better in driving and parkings. The day of her first road test, she failed. I went to ask her instructor, he said "She was good in everything. Nonetheless, she was driving in 25 mph on highway, and did not stop at a "No turn on red" sign. I was about to squeeze the instructor's neck. How can someone who drives on highway 5 days a week, twice a day for almost 4 months with myself, can drive 25 mph the day of test? on the day of the test, the instructor kept on asking to my girlfriend if she were happy with the Donald Trump election as US President. Isn't this RACISM????? Was that a road test or politics??? Because we are black, immigrant and from Africa? I paid again 49$ and scheduled another road test. SHE THEN PASSED !!! Here is what the same instructor said to her on that day, "YOU WERE SO GREAT, YOU DID GOOD AND WERE SO BRAVE". She was all this before. The real price of this place is 100$ to pass the road test. If you pay only 49$ and you pass, YOU'RE LUCKY!!! Do you want to have your road test? Go to there, but be ready to fail for the first time. YOU'LL PASS ONLY AT THE SECOND TIME. THIS IS THE GOLDEN RULE. UNLESS YOU RENT THEIR CAR. THIS WILL BE 49$ (of test) + 50$ (of car rental) = Almost 100$, then you may probably pass. Otherwise... This deserves -3 star, not even 0. This 1 star is too too too much. I just give them to have access to click the "publish" button. Read Less

extremely bad service the lady giving me the test said feel free to ask questions at any point in the test. She did not explain the parallel parking and did not even mention the blue lines painted on the ground that I had to be in for the parallel parking. Almost everyone I have talked to has been failed the first time so they can make money. I definitely do not recommend them Read Less

If I could give it 0 stars I would. I went here after 8 years of driving on permits. (I have a major fear of failure.) And still failed the parking portion of the test and never made it on the road. In the 8 years of permit driving I have never NEVER been in a accident. Even in the test I parked perfectly fine and I did exactly what I was supposed to do. I didn't hit any cones. The reason I failed was because the instructor found newcomers and her cell phone more important then doing her job. When I first arrived at the testing area and I talked to the lady I could tell right off the bat that she had already failed me. Do NOT go here. All they care about is how much money they can get out of you. Read Less
