Terrible. Should have known because initial communications were spotty and they leave you hanging unless you keep calling. Arrived at the reserved "slot" for my daughter to take road test only to find out there were at least 4 others in front of us and only one tester. The promotions all say you will only be there 30 to 45 minutes. We were there 1.5 hrs in very crowded office entry. Office was horribly disorganized and the lady working was brand new had no idea what she was doing. Most kids coming back from road test were failing which made my daughter nervous and when the instructor got in the car with her he just went thru all the things she could do wrong before the test. She failed by temporarily accellerating 5mph more than the speed limit on a dangerous and tricky city corner and he immediately failed her and had her stop and return from testing immediately. She tested the next day at a place in Rowlett and got nearly a perfect score and the service was superior in every way from appt, arrival, test, departure. It did cost a little more but well worth it. I just got the serious sense that the instructor at Transitions knew the office was a mess and he was in more of a hurry to get back and resolve disastrous office issues than giving each kid a fair and reasonable and "COMPLETE" test and with as many as he overbooked on the weekends seemed like more of a revolving door weekend money grab then a legit attempt to evaluate driving readiness. We also got lucky she failed because they had the paperwork wrong and had she passed and they sealed up for the DPS we would have wasted a trip. The other driving school corrected it. Bottom line: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Read Less

Do not get confused by thinking this is convenient. I paid 68.50 for my child to do her driving test on a weekend to avoid the DPS. BIG MISTAKE. After running an hour behind, the school presents us with a sealed envelope and informed us that we would be required to take the envelope to DPS. Although my child passed the driving test she was not licensed until we went and waited an hour at DPS. Furthermore, they failed to mention that a VOE was required by DPS so after waiting an hour we had to leave and go to the school to get the VOE and then come back to DPS. I am not paid to know the requirements of the law, that's what I thought I was paying them for. They were not informative, knowledgeable or forthcoming. Extremely unprofessional. Save your money, you have to go to DPS regardless. Read Less

Extremely disappointed. The school was unprofessional In my opinion. The school was never open punctually, the placed smell of old water and the cars weren't in the best condition. the whole class time he would warn us about what would happen if you don't learn how to drive properly instead of actually teaching us how to drive properly. I was very disappointed , and no offense to the instructors who are nice people but I simply did not enjoy attending this school Read Less

Even my nephew liked working with him and learned a lot. It was much more than just teaching to the book and going through the motions. Highly recommend. Read Less
