Very Unorganized and my driving teachers were switched multiple times making it hard for me. With the multiple switches, I had to keep on telling each new instructor, what parts I was trained on. They sat on the passenger seats trying to figure out where I was caught up on so my lessons were basically wasted. Don’t go here to waste your money! Read Less

My son just completed class and had a wonderful time. The teacher really cared, he learned so much and actually looked forward to going he was sad that it ended.

Milan is an excellent excellent teacher! He is on point! I took a few classes with him and passed my test with a full score. He is so honest and reliable. He took me for my road test earlier than I planned only because like an true teacher he knew I was ready!! And that also shows he's not trying to rip you off!! Really don't waste your time with any school or instructor. If you want your license he is your guy. Milan (414) 982-7475 Read Less

Milan is a phenomenal driving instructor! He is super friendly, and helped me every inch of the way. I always thought that I would never learn how to drive because I found it so difficult. Thus, he helped me achieve such great success with awarding me my license! I ultimately swear if he helped me learn how to drive (being such a slow learner) he can absolutely help anyone! He is an amazing instructer that can teach you how to drive in little of 5 minutes. Call him without hesitation! (414-982-7475) Surely, hid the best instructor in Winsconsin! Read Less

Classroom was a blast! They really got me prepared to take my temps test by helping the class breakdown the book into more understandable terms and notes, as well as have a lot of knowledge before I even got behind the wheel of the car. They keep repeating that we were now young adults and what a huge responsibility driving was I had never really thought about that before. Behind the wheel was great, my instructor Im sorry I forgot how to spell her name was so kind and so patient, the office was great about being as flexible as possible and really working around my schedule by the time I had one lesson left I couldn't take my test for 2 months we set it up for two weeks before to refresh everything, I passed with 0 points off.

Son attended classes, was very happy with those. He arranged his first lesson. Instructor turned up 3 weeks early. He was still asleep. When he called up to find out what happened, the owner told him he owed them $30 for the missed appointment, so he attempted to point out that he couldn't miss an appointment he knew nothing about. He asked the lady on the phone to talk to me, as she wasn't listening to him. She then proceeded to tell me the same thing, when I started to point out that he only had one lesson booked in 3 weeks time, she started talking over me, saying the same things again. I asked her to allow me to speak, when she started talking over me again, I asked, admittedly in a slightly raised voice, to allow me to talk. She then accused me of threatening her. The call continued in such a bizarre manner until she hung up on me. My wife called, listened to her, asked to speak, but this lady seemed intent on calling my son, me and my wife liars. We're getting $99 back and will happily go elsewhere. This woman was so rude, a simple discussion, even not accepting blame for her mistake, simply rescheduling and I'd have been satisfied, but she had to be right. She wasn't. __________________________________________________________ Update following the reply from the business owner. Well this is getting more and more bizarre. No threats were made, simply asked to be allowed to talk. You mentioned the Police after accusing me of threatening you. At no time did I even mention the Police. Worst customer experience ever.Sooner I get our money back, as well as necessary certificates, the better. Yes, my wife refused to give you her email address because you were accusing us of being liars over such a simple matter, we wanted nothing more to do with you. Certainly didn't want you contacting us directly. Please provide refund and any certificates of completion as soon as possible. Read Less

From the first lesson to the last, he helps with everything you need work on and is willing to teach you anything even if it isn't specifically on the test.

In April of 2014 I enrolled my daughter Sarah at the Safety First Driving School located in Oak Creek, WI, at a total price of $279 which was to include the required classroom , behind the wheel and observation.  I enrolled her there only after researching their website and talking with Janet (owner's mother) who explained to me the services Safety First offered such as picking up/dropping off my daughter at home for behind the wheel lessons and so on.Sarah completed her required 30 hours of classroom on April 25th, 2014.  From this point on it has been a struggle to get appointments for her required 6 hours of behind the wheel and 6 hours of observation.  I called Safety First repeatedly for weeks to setup an appointment for her first driving lesson, I did not hear from them until I received a text on June 8th from Mike one of the driving instructors.  He picked Sarah up at 11:05 am on June 12th, 2014, at our home and drove her to the old American Furniture Store parking lot on 13th and College, where she practiced going back and forth and then was dropped  back home at before noon.  She only received approximately 45 minutes of driving that day with no observation.  I did find out later that Mike had marked her paperwork as having the observation completed on June 12th, even though she did not have any observation on that day.Getting her second behind the wheel scheduled was another struggle and again after repeated calls and text messages, I was finally contacted on July 21st, 2014 from Mike.  We scheduled Sarah's appointment for July 23rd however this time he requested that I drop her off at the American Parking lot because picking her up and dropping her off at our home was now out of his way.  We live in Caledonia and I confirmed with Janet, as well as it being posted on their website that they do in fact pickup and drop off in Caledonia up to Hwy G which we are located before Hwy G.   I would not have chosen Safety First, if they did not agree to pick Sarah up and drop her off at our home  (please see attached A).  After being told (via text) several times that he would not pick Sarah up at home I finally agreed to drop her off at the American parking lot only because I was desperate for Sarah to get her driving lessons in since it had been 3 months since she completed classroom and had only 1 driving lesson to this point (for appox 45 minutes).  Again, on July 23rd Mike was late picking Sarah up and dropped her off early with no observation again.  When Sarah and I had both questioned Mike, but at different times, about the observation he told us both that it was not really necessary and that all the kids do in the back seat is text anyway.I was not comfortable with Mike telling me there was no need for observation and that he was just marking it on the paperwork as being completed so on August 4th 2014, I contacted the DMV to inquire on what the requirements for observation are, I spoke with Amber and was information that observation is a state law unless the student has 9 hours of behind the wheel.    That same day, Amber (DMV) contacted Janet at Safety First to investigate my concern and shortly thereafter I received a voice message from Janet at Safety First informing me that she would be sending me a check for $79 and a certificate of completion.  I was not asking for a refund from Safety First I was merely trying to make sure that my daughter was receiving the requirements of the Wisconsin state driving laws.  How this inquiry translated into kicking my daughter out of driving school I do not know.  Furthermore this means that according to Safety First it cost $200 for classroom and 2 driving lessons and the remaining 4 driving lessons and the 6 behind the wheel lesson on cost 79?   When I called Janet to question this she simply said if you are so unhappy here we will mail you a certificate of completion and a check for $79 and hung up on me.I called several other driving school such as Easy Method, Sears, L&B and Arcade and was told by all of them that the majority of the cost is in the actual driving not the classroom which contradicts what Safety First.  In order for Sarah to get her 6 hours of driving and 6 hours of observation at either of these other schools it would cost me a minimum of $240 plus I would need to get the certificate of classroom completion from Safety First, which I still do not have.As of today October 8th, 2014 I still have not received the $79 check or the certificate of completion Janet said she was mailing me back on Aug 4th, and let's keep in mind that I asked for a full refund not just $79.  I did try to call on September 15th to find out the status of the refund and left a message on their voice machine but have not heard back from them yet.

I took drivers ed with Milan at the Milwaukee location. The classroom experience was overall well organized and well-taught. I got a perfect score on the permit test because of how well Milan prepared me. The behind the wheels were fun and he taught me based on what i needed help with, not by what the book says to teach each time. I was VERY well prepared for the road test having only had my temps for exactly 6 months. I only got one point thanks to Milan. I would definitely recommend it! Read Less

In April of 2014 I enrolled my daughter Sarah at the Safety First Driving School located in Oak Creek, WI, at a total price of $279 which was to include the required classroom , behind the wheel and observation.  I enrolled her there only after researching their website and talking with Janet (owner's mother) who explained to me the services Safety First offered such as picking up/dropping off my daughter at home for behind the wheel lessons and so on.Sarah completed her required 30 hours of classroom on April 25th, 2014.  From this point on it has been a struggle to get appointments for her required 6 hours of behind the wheel and 6 hours of observation.  I called Safety First repeatedly for weeks to setup an appointment for her first driving lesson, I did not hear from them until I received a text on June 8th from Mike one of the driving instructors.  He picked Sarah up at 11:05 am on June 12th, 2014, at our home and drove her to the old American Furniture Store parking lot on 13th and College, where she practiced going back and forth and then was dropped  back home at before noon.  She only received approximately 45 minutes of driving that day with no observation.  I did find out later that Mike had marked her paperwork as having the observation completed on June 12th, even though she did not have any observation on that day.Getting her second behind the wheel scheduled was another struggle and again after repeated calls and text messages, I was finally contacted on July 21st, 2014 from Mike.  We scheduled Sarah's appointment for July 23rd however this time he requested that I drop her off at the American Parking lot because picking her up and dropping her off at our home was now out of his way.  We live in Caledonia and I confirmed with Janet, as well as it being posted on their website that they do in fact pickup and drop off in Caledonia up to Hwy G which we are located before Hwy G.   I would not have chosen Safety First, if they did not agree to pick Sarah up and drop her off at our home  (please see attached A).  After being told (via text) several times that he would not pick Sarah up at home I finally agreed to drop her off at the American parking lot only because I was desperate for Sarah to get her driving lessons in since it had been 3 months since she completed classroom and had only 1 driving lesson to this point (for appox 45 minutes).  Again, on July 23rd Mike was late picking Sarah up and dropped her off early with no observation again.  When Sarah and I had both questioned Mike, but at different times, about the observation he told us both that it was not really necessary and that all the kids do in the back seat is text anyway.I was not comfortable with Mike telling me there was no need for observation and that he was just marking it on the paperwork as being completed so on August 4th 2014, I contacted the DMV to inquire on what the requirements for observation are, I spoke with Amber and was information that observation is a state law unless the student has 9 hours of behind the wheel.    That same day, Amber (DMV) contacted Janet at Safety First to investigate my concern and shortly thereafter I received a voice message from Janet at Safety First informing me that she would be sending me a check for $79 and a certificate of completion.  I was not asking for a refund from Safety First I was merely trying to make sure that my daughter was receiving the requirements of the Wisconsin state driving laws.  How this inquiry translated into kicking my daughter out of driving school I do not know.  Furthermore this means that according to Safety First it cost $200 for classroom and 2 driving lessons and the remaining 4 driving lessons and the 6 behind the wheel lesson on cost 79?   When I called Janet to question this she simply said if you are so unhappy here we will mail you a certificate of completion and a check for $79 and hung up on me.I called several other driving school such as Easy Method, Sears, L&B and Arcade and was told by all of them that the majority of the cost is in the actual driving not the classroom which contradicts what Safety First.  In order for Sarah to get her 6 hours of driving and 6 hours of observation at either of these other schools it would cost me a minimum of $240 plus I would need to get the certificate of classroom completion from Safety First, which I still do not have.As of today October 8th, 2014 I still have not received the $79 check or the certificate of completion Janet said she was mailing me back on Aug 4th, and let's keep in mind that I asked for a full refund not just $79.  I did try to call on September 15th to find out the status of the refund and left a message on their voice machine but have not heard back from them yet.

I took drivers ed with Milan at the Milwaukee location. The classroom experience was overall well organized and well-taught. I got a perfect score on the permit test because of how well Milan prepared me. The behind the wheels were fun and he taught me based on what i needed help with, not by what the book says to teach each time. I was VERY well prepared for the road test having only had my temps for exactly 6 months. I only got one point thanks to Milan. I would definitely recommend it! Read Less
