There are always reviews only giving 4 stars, as they believe nobody deserves 5, then the ones who are never happy. They get 5 stars from me, even if it has been nearly 50 years. Mike G.

I highly recommend Safestway Driving School, and especially their instructor, Lisa. For our first…read moreborn, we chose Safestway Driving School back in 2016, and the experience was excellent -- we truly felt we made the right decision. So for our youngest this 2026, we didn't think twice about enrolling her in Safestway as well. On her first day, she had Lisa as her instructor. Our daughter immediately felt comfortable, as Lisa was patient, reassuring, and provided clear, relevant instructions that she could confidently execute behind the wheel. Our daughter had bonded well with her on the first day. For her next two classes, we specifically requested Lisa -- even if it meant waiting a few more weeks due to her fully booked schedule -- because our daughter genuinely learned well under her guidance. My daughter's behind the wheel test with DMV is in two weeks after her last class, and she got her DL on the first take.

When I called to get a refund they kept arguing how it was their day off (even though I called during when they said they'd pick up the phone) and how they called me back (there is NO RECORD of them calling me back). And then tried to give me a life lesson of how I'm just trying to go too fast. Well I guess people should just pay $400 and not being able to get the service now? This is the worst business and the most entitled customer service I've ever interacted with. Can't imagine how their instructor will behave if they can't even handle their scheduling right. It's like they're allergic to responsibility LOL update: They have since sent me a message "I'm sorry you got impatient and jumped the gun". Sounds like someone never learned to take responsibility and apologize. Does it sound like your abusive family member trying to blame you on their fk ups? It sure does. I have to block their phone number from the harassment.
