I took my drivers class with Safestway Driving School in 1977 in Walnut Creek / Pleasant Hill. It…read morehas been a minute I remember the class and the first time behind the wheel with someone other than my parents. It was a great experience. It has made me a confident driver my entire driving life. I have definitely driven over a million miles and would trust Safestway with my grandchildren. 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.

Lisa was terrible. She is not professional at all. My daughter came home sobbing from frustration…read moreand not being heard. My daughter had told Lisa she wanted to go back to practice in our neighborhood because they were around a school area and school was about to get out.Lisa then rolled her eyes and went, "Oh my god." She claimed that my daughter needed to learn this anyways (which is true), but my daughter felt uncomfortable because she's new to driving. Lisa kept trying to push her to drive in the area, but my daughter had told her that she wasn't listening/understanding that she was uncomfortable, and Lisa then claimed that my daughter wasn't listening to her. My daughter even pointed out that Lisa had said her turns aren't great, so why should she be driving in a school area with students getting out if she's not ready? Lisa then called her manager and told her that my daughter wanted to end her session early and wasn't listening to her and was "shutting down on her." At first, my daughter didn't even want to end her lesson early; she just wanted to continue practicing in our neighborhood. But after that, she didn't want to deal with Lisa's behavior. Even during the session before Lisa's tantrum, my daughter claimed that Lisa was belittling the way she drives. Lisa said my daughter was shaking the whole car and wobbling and even told my daughter to go into the passenger seat so she could demonstrate and extremely then she proceeded to exaggerate how she was driving. Like I stated before, my daughter is new to driving; she's not going to be perfect; that's the whole point of having a driving instructor. I talked to the owner, and he said that maybe the conflict happened because she's going to graduate soon? Unbelievable. Had absolutely nothing to do with the lesson. He immediately took Lisa's side and didn't try to consider my daughter's feelings; he just made something up. Also, there's a review from someone claiming that Lisa was being racist, yet she's still with this company? We are people of color, so maybe that has something to do with this behavior of hers. This company is extremely unprofessional, and I would not recommend it to anyone. However, if you do stick with this company, I would recommend Andy. My daughter had her first session with him. Very sweet, has patience (unlike someone), and is understanding.

For starters, it's now called the A1 Driving School…read more Call them and set up an appointment. They'll come to your house and pick you up. Don't forget to bring your permit and glasses, if you wear them. You will be driving the entire time. At first, this really scared me, because I had zero experience being behind the wheel. But baby's got to learn sometime. And don't worry; they have a brake on their side to stop the vehicle whenever necessary. My instructor was very nice and patient. We just drove around my neighborhood and the surrounding area. He even had a checklist of things we had to cover, e.g. hand signals, parking beside a curb. My sessions were two hours apiece, with a few minutes break to rest. Once the lesson was over, he would give feedback on what I had to improve on. (I paid with a check at the end of every lesson.) But it's not enough just to take these lessons, no matter how helpful they are. You also have to practice by yourself (with a licensed driver 25 or older sitting beside you, of course). This, as my instructor explained, helps build confidence. All in all, a good foundation to build your driving skills on and a positive learning experience.

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.
