My son and I just left Silverlake Driving School and I have never experienced such a level of unprofessionalism. My daughter attended years ago without a problem. My son did everything online 2 years ago and received his permit. All he needed was the road test. I called and set an appointment
for 11:30 and was told to bring proof of insurance and the permit. When I went in to pay, the woman was asking for a certificate. I told her when we made the appointment, we were not told to bring any certificate and that he has been through the preliminaries 2 years ago and already has a permit. I didn't mind the fact that she was telling us to bring a certificate. All I would have to do is download a copy and bring it back. The actual problem was her rudeness. She proceeded to tell my son that she texted him the information last night. I informed her that she couldn't have, because she does not have his number, and I made the appointment. He is not a student of the school. We are independent of the school, just looking to take an adult road test. She insisted that she texted him and that she dots all her i's and crosses her t's. She then leaned back in her chair and continued to rudely drink her soda. I told her that we were going to take our money someplace else. She mumbled stupid ni@* under her breath as I was storming out. I turned around and went back in and asked her for a manager's name or someone over her. She leaned in and said, "No, I'm not giving it to you!" For her to be so bold she may not suffer any consequences and feels comfortable behaving in that manner, but I just want the public to know the level of ignorance I dealt with today. She would not give me her name, but she is an obese woman with unkept, dark blondish, hair. She looks to be about 45 to 50 years old and obviously works the front desk at times. Through my research I suspect her name to be Patty Reese.
I have also contacted the Texas dept of Licensing and Regulation to file a complaint and will let everyone I know with teens looking to get their license that Pearland driving school and its affiliate Silverlake driving school is not the place to go. I also plan to tell this story to a Houston-based podcast that discusses matters such as this. We have already gotten better treatment at Houston Driving School. I really wish I had contacted them first. Read Less

Great school! Took 6 hour adult class. I learned so much and did GREAT on my permit test. And took my behind the wheel road test with them the next day! Very knowledgeable since the director use to work at DPS on required documents needed and very patient and very good at communicating. Passed my permit test and Behind the wheel road test in one try. So easy to schedule a class or test with them I highly recommend this school! Read Less

Not impressed with this driving school so far. There is no good source of communication from the school to the parents or kids. For example, today the bus was 20 minutes late picking the kids up but no one was notified. The students and parents tried to call the school but only got an answering machine. It's unacceptable to leave them stranded for 20 minutes with no notification or means of contact. Read Less

We have had an absolutely terrible experience with this driving school, and from talking to other parents, it's a consistent theme among us! The classroom portion is fine, but when you try to schedule drive times, they are horribly inadequate. They actually require that you log onto their website at exactly 7:30p on Tuesdays and Fridays, refresh your screen constantly, and try to beat others to the few available slots. HORRIBLE WASTE OF TIME AND VERY INEFFICIENT!! If you ask them for assistance, they blame you for not logging in fast enough or from a strong enough web signal. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, LIFE AND MONEY. I really wish I'd known this before signing up with these guys. Read Less

Don't go here - you can never get a driving time. Especially when you are limited to the times a student can drive. It is a first come first serve basis - so good luck because you won't meet the 6 month deadline of driving. They change the class time 3 days before - again limited on times and they are rude about it.Update 11.27.2013 - Don't go here - they only want your money. They cancel you after complaining about not getting drive times. Then say will give you a refund of the remaining 4 times left minus $50 admin fee. Guess what - didn't get anything as usual and it has been 4 months. This business what to treat people like cattle cars and dont have enough resources to take care of the student they do have.
