Definitely a money making scam, I have been driving with a permit for years passed my written test first try. But when it came time for the driving test I signaled and made sure to stop and be extra cautious at all stop signs and lights. This guy actually had the audacity to tell me i didn't stop long enough after stopping and looking both ways. I would recommend a different testing facility for something like this. You can tell its not about how good of a driver you are when you come in for the test and the instructor is decked out in gold rings and expensive clothing and sunglasses. Truly a waist of time and money and I am certainly appalled. Read Less

Worst experience I've had when it comes to getting a license. I've had a DL in multiple states but had to basically start from scratch because I had been out of country for some time and not originally from Washington. Multiple people have confirmed this place will milk you for every dime they can. Even other driving schools have told me this after the fact. One of the questions that they failed me for was apparently the current driving standard is now a hand placement of "9 and 3" as opposed to "10 and 2" which was the standard for many many years. Going with my instinct I selected the "10 and 2" answer and that was wrong. Come to find out that question shouldn't even be on the test according to other driving schools. Having paid for both the driving test and the written test up front and having failed the written test the company allowed me to leave without giving me the money back for my driving test since I never actually took it. They didn't even call me to let me know. If it had not been for me to realize I left it there 2 weeks later and thank god I still had my receipt they wouldn't of said anything! I go back to the schools to pick up the money I left and I didn't have time to wait for them to finish with a test for someone. I come back again and "magically", they don't have the key to the money drawer conveniently enough. Finally the 3rd time going back they were able to give me my $30 back. I will be making reports about this company to the BBB and whatever possible government agency so they can be made aware of these practices since these are just government contracted positions. By far the most unprofessional scam out there. Avoid this place at all costs. *Edit* I accidentally said $35 instead of $30 that they tried to keep from me and that is the owners justification to call me a liar. Out of everything I said, he chose to correct me on a $5 mistake but says nothing about the scam questions they put on the test. Avoid this place. Call and ask other driving schools. They all say the same thing about this place. Read Less
