Stupidly, I did not think to look for reviews before I signed my son up for lessons with this school. I hope this review helps someone else to avoid this unprofessional and untrustworthy driving school. When registering for this school you are told that they schedule drives based on your child’s availability which is turned into their office. My son was available 6 days/week. We didn’t get a call for several weeks. I called and asked why and they said it’s was due to his availability. I guess being available 6 days per week is too difficult to fit him in? Of course the next week or so they sent a notice for a drive. As bad luck would have it, he had a mandatory practice he had to stay after school for, which I had no advance warning of until I asked him if he could take that drive. I was forced to cancel. I didn’t think much of it at the time because I had hopes this meant he was at least now on their radar and he would get called again. Four months after turning in his initial availability and learners permit info he was called only that once. They now claim that because I turned down this one drive, it isn’t their fault that he didn’t get scheduled. HIS availability was the issue. They are totally unable to concede that for several months they never scheduled a drive and never returned my calls to ask for them to schedule him. We have since pulled him out and enrolled him in another school. Since withdrawing, I have heard numerous reports of the same issue. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. Read Less

I have called the helotes location to leave a message and within 10 min I got a call back. Cindy was very nice to me. She answered all my questions. Even though the class is in Feb, she was still honoring the special they have for January. (Very Nice of this company to do that). I am considering to use this company. Thanks to Cindy. (sounds like a very busy place but she managed very well) Read Less

This is a great place to learn to drive. We took our teen there to learn to drive. Esther Cocaaa did a great job with my son and he loved driving with her. She was very helpful in making sure we had all the information for him to take his test. Thanks to the Rhodes staff and especially Esther Cocaaa for all your help. Read Less

There's this one particular female driving instructor that'll consistently belittle you (especially) for being a newbie driver. I came there for driving lessons to improve my skills, not to be criticized on my listening abilities or for having anxiety from being nagged at. Otherwise most of the staff members are friendly and assists to most of your needs. Read Less

I had a very great experience wit Rhodes Driving School Helotes,they helped me and always try find the best available time for me even though it's hard sometimes for them to drive since they are closed or since the weather is not good or sometimes there is no available time, they always try to make the student happy, and I don't want to forget their instructors they were so friendly and helpful with the students and always try to teach the students things that's very important for them and their life ,thank you so much Rhodes Driving School Read Less

I paid for in car driving lessons with them, and could not be more dissatisfied with the service. Our phone calls to them rarely go answered, and the secretary up front is extremely rude. Scheduling the initial drive was a pain, as it was not even scheduled until three months after payment. The only reason why I was even given those two drives to begin with was because my father and I went there in person, to which the lady there said the reason I wasn't scheduled for drives was "because she schedules the drives" and not me. She didn't seem to understand that the issue was that she was not providing the service I paid for, which is to SCHEDULE DRIVES. At the time I paid, I was also told that I would be picked up and dropped off from school. It wasn't until that same day we went in person that they told us they do not offer this service for students at my school anymore. It wasn't until my second drive--which was rather short--that I was told that parent hours needed to be logged in to get more drives. I was never told how many parent hours needed to be logged until my dad called and was given extreme attitude over the phone. She never disclosed with him just how many parent hours I needed before I can be scheduled again. She then called me, leaving an extremely passive aggressive voicemail telling me that I needed to log at least 12 parent hours (I have driven more than that at home, I just forgot to log, which is my fault on my end, I will admit). This information would have been nice to know months ago. Do NOT use this place. The staff is rude, the instructors are not that great, and it is impossible to communicate with them. I have no idea how the actual classes are, but please save yourself the headache and take your money elsewhere for the in car driving lessons. Read Less

Terrific experience! Teaching staff was knowledgeable, reliable, thorough and engaged. Cathy, the director, was wonderful to work with. She communicated often. She was efficient and she really worked hard to accommodate our special scheduling issues with practice drives. This was money well spent.Read Less

Not only is it an educational experiance, but an enjoyable one as well. Teacher knows how to balance seriousness and humor, has an easy going personality, and is well educated on every aspect of the subject he teaches. I highly reccomend. Read Less

A Quick, Helpful, and Fun way to learn how to drive and learn the rules of the road as well as how to be as safe as possible (within my control) on the road. The instructor was as funny as much as he was informative and helpful in this course. Read Less

Rhodes driving school is amazing. With the three weeks i have been there i have learned so much from my instructor Mr. Rico. He is a very professional teacher. He does not mess around when it comes to us learning. He is an amazing and straight forward teacher. He will tell you right to the point if you did a good job that specific day or not. This driving school is the one to go to if you are looking for the right, responsible, hard-working, business driving school there is. This one right here in Helotes i believe is the best. I want to thank Mr. Rico for teaching me the most amazing things these past three weeks in driving school. I thought i already knew everything about driving but you have shown me that there is a whole lot more things about driving and different signs that i didnt know about. So thank you so much!

The instructors are very entertaining and share the information needed to pass the permit test very well. The prices are reasonable and affordable. I have enjoyed the new learning experience and I am looking forward to getting on our Texas roads! Thx Rhodes Driving School! Read Less

This class has changed my entire life. I had a low self esteem and no confidence in myself but this class changed all of that. I've been reborn and seen a new light as well as the error to my ways. I used to rely on "Jesus Take The Wheel" as being my anthem but now "Eye of the Tiger" has replaced that. Mr. Rico is the most spiritual and enlightened guide with a calm and unbiased personality. This class has opened my eyes not only on how to be a better driver but on how to be in a better society. You have not LIVED until you've been here. #itslit #woke Read Less

I learned a lot about driving in many conditions and locations in this amazing course! Our instructor was very helpful and professional, and I would recommend this course to any teenager endeavoring to get their driver's license! Read Less

The teacher is so much fun, but serious too. Lessons, quiz's, and test are over everything that is learned. Time fly's by in class all the time. I would recommend the Rhodes Driving School to everyone. Read Less
