I sent my very fearful daughter to class here and it was hands down the best decision. She did very well in this classroom and behind-the-wheel setting and really liked the teachers. The classroom was informative and it expanded on so much more than what's in the drivers handbook from the DMV. She had Brent for behind-the-wheel and we both highly recommend him. She conquered her fears because of him. Thanks so much guys!! Read Less

An actual driving school that you can have a good time at. Tommie is a fun and well educated instructor. If ever get another ticket, I'm definitely coming back to this school.

Went during my spring break, and there were only 2 other people in the class but it was very informative and interesting and learned a lot about driving that I didn't know or my parents either. Behind the wheel instructor was very personable and talked a lot about different things to keep me from being nervous. Great school, high regards! Read Less

I am updating my post because of new information provided to me via a 3rd party, initially I didn't receive copies of. Even after new documentation provided, my experience has not been satisfactory. Please note, it is my right to express my views on the company based on my interactions with them. In all my experiences this is one I will never forget. I signed my son up for the driving course and on the 3rd day Metropolitan called and stated they would be putting the remaining lessons on hold because 40 hours+ were needed. One of the main issues I have with this company is communication. This information would have been better received after his first driving lesson. If this is your field of expertise on the first day you should have noticed a problem not wait 3 days. Also when you send an instructor to a client's home with paperwork, make sure he/she knows to go over it with the client and provide a copy. Don't have the instructor to just have the client to sign and not go over it. Please also stress verbally to clients that if you don't have 40 hours plus of driving time on your own this course is not for you. Because of my dissatisfaction and multiple emails, I got a partial refund, which I don't agree with. The owner, Tommy didn't even try to see my point of view, which caused an unnecessary chain of events. Verbal communication is just as important beforehand pertaining to what is required from the client and in return what the company would accomplish for them before signature, payment, etc. I still would not recommend to anyone because even in the adversity of everything your reactions should not have heightened. I am still a customer and should have been treated as such. All customer's have a voice and how you handle the situation speaks volumes. Sending out a cease and desist letter was inappropriate, in my opinion. Read Less
