I just passed my road test today and it's all thanks to Midway Driving School. The employees were wonderful and were willing to answer all of my questions from concerns about expenses to road test dates. My instructor, Peter, is very calm, informative, and hilarious. He helped me alot with relaxing my nerves, as well as, giving me tips on my exam. There are several different packages that you can pick from, however, I recommend you to choose the 7 1/2 hour pack. It may seem expensive, but it's worth it! If you are a very nervous driver, I highly recommend you to come here! Good luck! Read Less

I have take two lessons with this driving school and they were perfectly but boooy has my opinion changed on this business based on the woman who works as a receptionist. I actually moved forward and filed a complaint with the BBB because I was so disturbed that this woman actually has a job in anything customer service related. Someone with her attitude and disposition would be a better fit for working in a funeral home with absolutely no contact with the general public. I don’t even know where to start. She called me late in the evening around 5pm on 3-20 and told me my card had been declined for my payment. I explained to her that I had lost the card and simply forgot to call them and give them a new form of payment; before I could even apologize for the inconvenience she cuts me off and tells me it’s not their job to call ppl and I should have called them first. I was in awe at her disrespect so I just hung up to collect myself. I called back hoping to get someone else and unfortunately I got this same vile woman. So I immediately asked to speak to someone else. She starts YELLING at me and says she’s the only person there and they are closed (so you pick up the phone to tell ppl you’re closed ) I asked her name and she said well you’re going to speak to me tomorrow too Alesha and I said that’s fine then this disgusting woman had the audacity to tell me a paying customer not to call back until I have my card situation figured out. I told her I had a temporary card I could give them and that I had been trying to explain that all alone and she then says good well call back tomorrow and hangs up the phone in my face. When I tell you I have never in my life felt more disrespected and just flat out pissed at the sorry excuse of “customer service” I had received. I immediately logged onto the BBB website and as I was filing my complaint I read several of what I assume is this same woman “Paula” I cannot even believe that she’s still employees there she deserves to be fired ASAP. This woman’s attitude and phone demeanor is so discouraging to ppl who are already nervous or feel behind in a basic skill. She again has absolutely NO BUSINESS working with the general public and if this is who your business feels is okay and trained to be a receptionist and give your PAYING CUSTOMERS PROPER RECEPTION then she’s a pretty sad case / excuse. People are paying for services and to be treated with just human decency and Paula is not it. Read Less

At first I signed up for two 2 hour session at Midway driving school and then just decided to have my friends teach me. But that didn’t pan out well as I thought. So I signed up for the 7.5 hour package at the same school a year later. I was assigned the same driving instructor as before. Scheduling the appointments was very easy and the staff at the school was always very kind and helpful. I was very nervous and scared to start my behind the wheel driving. Thanks to my instructor Pat! He made me feel comfortable and gave helpful feedback when needed. After the two 2 hour sessions I was confident that I would pass my test. I had the last two hour session before the test and I was extremely nervous. But hey! At the end ALL IS WELL. I passed my test on the very first try. Thanks to Midway driving school. Read Less

When i started out learning driving, at first i wanted to save money and just have my friends teach me. Soon i realized that was not realistic and it was a burden on my friend's time. So instead I signed up for a 7.5 hour package with Midway driving school and it was worth every penny! The things the driving school taught me was not only practical skills --- passing the test, but also essential important life-long skills-- driving safe. The instructor taught me all the nice tricks to get me pass the test easily on my very first try (some of my friends who had not taken the test retook the test 3 or 4 times which wasted a lot of time and effort)! I am glad i didn't try to be cheap and have my friends teach me, i am glad i went with the professionals. The other important thing I learned from the driving school is Professional & safe driving. Learning good driving habits from the beginning is important because those good habits will be with you for life. Bad habits, on the other hand, are hard to break and dangerous! Midway driving school instructors are also very friendly with foreigners whose English was their second language. Read Less

The instructor instruct very bad, superficial and perfunctory. A 2 hr / lesson but in fact, the time to go to practice and go back has taken an hour. A course value is $ 515 for 7 hours of work ( 3 lessons total and 1 hr instructor drive candidate to the exam station) which really only had about 4 hours to do with the Road Test, and finally candidate is not passed. So what is the Midway Driving school's responsibility to the candidate? And have you ever wondered about such a poor training result in order to change teaching methods and practice how to get good results during the test Read Less

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE.  I called to learn more about what their services entailed (ie: what is included in a 2 hour lesson, etc). The receptionist that answered was so rude, condescending, and unhelpful that i'm surprised they would let someone with such horrible  customer experience be the face of their company. She did not take the time to explain what the services were and what I, as a customer, can expect. Her condescending tone indicated to me that she was just wasting her time. After my call with them, i knew right off the bat i would not be selecting this driving school. I called Silverlake Driving School and they were responsive, courteous, and helpful, so that's where I'll be taking my business. Just a tip for midway driving school, get someone who actually has good customer service to greet potential customers. If you don't, it's apparent in what kind of company you are. Read Less

She did not take the time to explain what the services were and what I, as a customer, can expect. She gave me the tone that she was just wasting her time. I'm currently doing research on adult driving lessons for my brother, who is a little nervous behind the wheel. If she's already this rude to me over the phone, there's no way I will send my brother her way. If anyone else knows another provided, please let me know. Read Less

Its has been only 2 months in USA and i have got my USA Driving License. All Thanks to Midway driving school and the perfect instructor Rob. Rob is very good at knowing what skills are missing in you while driving and helps you alot to improve those. If you do exactly the way Rob has taught you then 90 degree parking, parallel parking, Uphill and Downhill parking becomes piece of cake. I use to remember it like UL(Uphill Left) DR(Downhill right) if parked on the right side of the road. I will suggest to take atleast one class before going for the road test. Once again Thank You midway and especially Rob for helping me understand the driving rules in a very simple way and with some very smart jokes. Read Less

I've had 2 bad experiences in a row with Paula the Receptionist. She was combative 02/06/2017 around 10:30 am when I asked what time my instructor was coming and expressed that I didn't know the name, in a disgruntled fashion- Paula moans "I'll just CHECK through all these names HOLD". Today, after having a less than satisfactory and dangerous lesson(such as brakeing in the middle of an intersection, even though the turn was safe to go) I give Midway Driving School a call and reach Paul again at 10:04 am (02/07/2017) and try to explain that I felt that my lesson was not productive and my instructor was well equipped to help me learn, before I could finish my concerns- I was cut off and received a combative response in an angry tone diminishing the situation she was not a part of. I'm concerned for Paula's health and I feel as if she is doing the business more harm than good. I've paid $460 for lessons, been respectful as I could be for someone who got screamed at by an receptionist. I asked for the Owner, she said Tony didn't have a number, I asked for the email address, she gave me the website link and told me I can go on there to get it. Take your money else where! Read Less

I had a terrible fear of driving for over 6 years, to the point where I had stopped driving all together. My instructor Pat helped me over come all of my fears of driving and my confidence grew in each lesson, allowing me to learn how to finally become a safe driver. If it were not for Pat and Midway Driving School, I wouldn't have been able to overcome my incapacitating fear of driving and I wouldn't be able to function on a day-to-day basis like I am today. I highly recommend them to anyone who is a nervous/anxious driver. Read Less

Both of my kids received their behind-the-wheel instruction from teachers at Midway Driving School. Not only did they really enjoy the lessons, but both of them passed their license exams on the first try. The instructor made them feel at ease behind the wheel, made sure they experienced a variety of driving situations/environments, and gave them a last lesson before heading to the DVS exam station.I highly recommend Midway for anyone looking for a school that ensures that even nervous students will be successful in their efforts to learn practical driving skills and in getting their driver's license.
