Please don't waste your money nor time at the 2325 N Davis Drive Arlington TX 76012 location. First, they have no telephone courtesy when requesting info/wanting to know more about the Adult Driver's Ed Behind the Wheel course(s) and the pricing. Except for one young lady who answers the phone during the week only in the afternoons (around 2pm or try 1:30pm) is very helpful and will answer questions/concerns you have. She will tell you to come into the office to register and once you've signed up, then you will know the availability of instructors and how soon they can work with you. As of July 2017, this North Arlington location only offers one package of Behind the Wheel First time Adult Drivers' (ages 18 to 24) that is 6 hours or 4 behind the wheel lessons. Pickup at home is available. Each lesson lasts 1 1/2 hour (or 90 mins) and the cost for total of 6 hours which is equal to the 4 lessons they offer is $420. My instructor for all 4 lessons (or 6 hours) was Donald Derryberry but they call him Don was horrible. I would not recommend him to any first time/beginner driver if you're serious about getting your license. If you are a parent reading this, please don't sign your child(ren) if you're getting him as an instructor. I didn't get a chance to choose my instructor but what I would suggest when you register is soon as you walk thru the door, there's a bulletin board with all the instructors' names on there, it would be smart to take notes so you can later do your research to see if there's any reviews you can find on whose good and whose not. Don didn't have the patience with me, and then after the 2nd lesson says "6 hours isn't enough for anyone whose learning to drive the first time. He doesn't know why the office offers the 6 hours package to begin with because in his years of teaching, no one is ready for the DPS exam after 6 hours/4lessons." Additionally, if you are ready to take your road test exam, Austin Driving school offers the third party testing which is they're authorized to give the DPS exam if for some reason you don't want to go through the DPS office. Austin Driving School offers the DPS exam ONLY at the South Arlington location for $55 . You have to get your own transportation to the South location and you will do the driving exam in the same car you learned in but not with your instructor. The examiner grading you will be a different instructor from who you practiced the 4 lessons with but SAME CAR you learned to drive in. Also, if you need more than the 4 lessons like I did, I recall from the pricing chalkboard they have in the office where you register, that's it's $75 additional lesson to the $420 if you need more practice which likely you will because that's what Don, my instructor told me. The $420 must pay upfront, they don't offer installments or payment plans. Just beware and don't make the mistake I did which was paid the $420 for their driving instructor to tell me on my 2nd lesson that 6 hours of driving (4 lessons worth) isn't enough to be prepared for the DPS exam and what he suggests to his students after the 2nd/ 3rd lesson, you drive without him for a week (in other words practice with someone else). But how could I have done this when I registered at the office and on the spot was forced to choose days and times (for ALL 4 of my lessons) that he had open on his roster? Person in the office calls driving instructor to say "a new person just signed up" and in return that instructor gives times & days in which you must select from right there on the spot. Not to mention, Don was late on 1st lesson and 2nd along with 3rd. Also, you is got to be calling the Austin office to ensure you're scheduled on the roster for the driving time you selected 2 weeks earlier. You may have your days & times down but the office doesn't, that's how unorganized and unprofessional they can be. I will NEVER suggest the North Arlington location (2325 N Davis Drive Arlington TX 76012) to NO ONE especially if you're a first time driver like myself with no knowledge nor skills. Read Less

Unprofessional, Seems as though they have forgotten that these "Kids" are their customers. Classroom temperatures are unacceptable during summertime. Leaving your AC off or at 90 and letting your customers swelter in the classroom might be acceptable if we were in a third world country but we are not. The entire program feels like Austin Driving is squeezing every penny of profit they can at the customers expense. Pay the $10 more and go to a better driving school. Read Less
