Sorry, this is another case where I wish I could give negative stars. I had a Living Social deal for a 5 hour, Pre-Licensing class for my daughter. I called & called, left messages to schedule, never received a call back & finally reached them after my daughter had returned to college & the deal had expired. I explained the situation to the person I was speaking with, who was very nice & apologized. She then said that they would certainly honor the deal & to call back when my daughter came home on break, which I did during Thanksgiving. I mentioned the conversation to the person I finally got on the phone (they seem to have issue either picking up the phone & definitely in returning messages left) with another woman, also very nice, telling her of my prior conversation, she said she would check & get back to me. I was hesitant about the call back & explained to her why, but she promised she would return my call that day & she did just that. She said she spoke with her manager, who said they would honor their word & we made an appointment for that Saturday. I got a call from a man on Friday morning saying that if I kept my appointment, he would not honor their word to me of accepting my Living Social deal, but would give me a reduced price of $40 for the class (which I already paid $25 for), instead of the $45 the class usually costs. No thank you, you just got $25 of my money for nothing, not going to throw any more money into your business. They may have a decent 5 hour class, but if you must utilize their services for the class, do it outright, not through a deal website.

Scammers! I paid $199 for rental and 1 hour lesson (that I actually didn't even need. The horribly unprofessional receptionist convinced me to get it). I was supposed to get picked up at 1:30 to get to my road test location. My test was scheduled at 3. They are clearly bad at math since the location (they charged me full price for + extra) was 45 minutes away plus an hour lesson, but whatever... I needed to get the test done. I called them multiple times to confirm. They told me everything was set. No-one showed up!!! I called at least twenty times and the "supervisor" told me to relax and just wait. They guy showed up at my house at 2:50 PM. He seemed drunk or stoned (who knows). He told me he that got the call the very last minute. He said " Well, we can still try to make it if you want"..... Disgusting... Stay away!!!!!!

My experience was great.. I am unsure why I saw bad reviews.. I bought 1 package for 8 hours and I needed a few more hours and they helped me and I passed my test. I knew I needed a bit more help. Price are reasonable for what I got. I recommended my friends.

Not even worth one star. The experience was horrible from beginning to end. Very UNprofessional. The receptionist cancelled my first lesson. Then the instructor I was given was very in your face. Made me extremely nervous to the point I had to change instructors. I was never even taught the essentials. How can you practice parallel parking if you are never taught it? To then be told on your last lesson, you're not ready. I'm not instructor, but no matter how many lessons you buy, you're supposed to know the essentials to go to the road test..that by the way I paid the $20.00 fee for them to schedule. So in short, I paid $500.00 to learn how to drive around the block. DO NOT GO TO THEM. Don't waste your time or money. What a shame.

Very bad. Only go there if you want the 5 hour pre-licensing certificate. Behind the wheel classes are bad. Unprofessional and ill managed. They nearly missed my driving test and didn't provide me with my last practice hour although they took the full money. Apparently, my instructor was on leave on my test day and they arranged for an alternate instructor who had no clue that I was on his schedule. Naturally he didn't show up and on the eleventh hour (after my repeated phone calls) they sent another back up instructor. I lost my last practice hour from my package and the shameless owner don't have the courtesy to apologize leave alone refunding the money. My suggestion DO NOT GO.

Beyond terrible - feels wrong to even give it one star. Last night I was left a voicemail to call about my schedule. I called back this AM making sure my lesson for this afternoon was still ok, turns out my instructor (who was great - taught me well and was super friendly) no longer works at the driving school. The one thing that they had going for them was this instructor. I have had countless problems with the school - scheduling lessons, the lessons actually happening, etc. They don't even use a reliable scheduling system - every students lessons and such are kept track of on an index card - and you wonder why they can't keep anything straight. In addition the woman who taught the 5 hour course was a total nut job. Do not waste your money here even though it may be the "cheapest" around. Better off spending a little more and getting your money's worth. This school has been a constant headache for the past month and I cannot wait to be done with them.

Terrible experience. The instructor was unprofessional and rude. For my one hour scheduled, he wasted 45 min explaining the engine and how it works. Told me how to stop another car for help and started stopping cars on the road. A man actually stopped his car to help only to find that we didn't really need help. The instructor thought he was an excellent teacher and kept bad mouthing other instructors from the same school. Finally when I started driving he didn't let me explain my past experience or strengths/ weaknesses. When I made a little mistake he started yelling. I've driven for quite a few years but in another country with right hand driving. After taking that class with him I thought I could probably never drive again until I came across another school with excellent instructor. I'd recommend to stay away from this school. Or at least take one class as a test before signing up for any packages.
