I signed my daughter up for the drivers ed course and behind the wheel after emailing with the…read moreowners about the course to make sure it was the correct class for my daughter since the information on their website is very vague. I was assured that the drivers ed course would be for my daughter as she had not taken the written permit test and didn't have a permit yet. Fast forward 8 weeks and now the owner is telling me that she should have already taken the test and that this course that she just went through was for individuals who had failed the written test 3 times and if she had taken the test and failed the course would allow her to get her permit. I am beyond annoyed. I specifically contacted them and got an affirmative from them that this course was for students who had not taken their written permit test yet. So essentially they took my money and didn't communicate that the class was not what we had discussed I was looking for. I would not recommend them for any future business. When I brought up the fact that we had emailed about this prior to my signing up my daughter and paying, I was told "he gets a lot of emails" as if that is an excuse for lying about what the course is.

I had low expectations. But the class was actually excellent, and although I have been driving for…read morealmost 70 years, I learned more than a few things that will improve my driving. Steve Smalley takes a pretty dry subject, interjects humor, sprinkles in many pertinent personal anecdotes, and the recipe keeps the entire class engaged for the whole day. Nearly everyone is taking the class because they have to, and it's a pleasant surprise to come away feeling that I got more than my money's worth.

Awesome instructor Mr Smalley. Extremely informative. Effective course, I recommend A-1 over any…read moreother course

Terrible service and overpriced. This was an overpriced and really miserable experience. I had…read moreheard good things, but got annoyed quickly when the online class turned out to be a pathetic app that they simply charged double the cost for. I asked about this and they did not even respond. Scheduling was then a nightmare for the Behind the Wheel portion with no . The instruction seemed very lax with no confidence building. Once my son reached his last lesson and test, we ran into a scheduling conflict and were told they do not re-schedule. We paid a lot of money and scheduled during a pandemic and there was no way to reschedule a final lesson and test? Additionally, they were extremely rude, my son didn't seem to learn much (they never even did any interstate driving), and the cost is much higher than other driving schools. Zero helpfulness or even a shred of compassion with our situation to try to reschedule. We now have to retake (and repay) for the entire course elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and choose a different company. They seem to just be going through the motions and taking people's money without any care for families or students.

Albemarle Driving School is much more student driver focused and positively supportive of young drivers. Call Tom at Albemarle Driving School first.

I…read moredecided to sign up for Blacktop Bootcamp to brush up on my safe driving skills, especially skid control in less than ideal conditions. I imagined that it would be similar to the driving schools of the past, and as a race car driver, I was skeptical. I took the class and I was so glad I did. Not only do they teach you new driving fundamentals that the books don't teach you, the skills they teach you can be expanded upon beyond the road and onto the track. I never put two and two together on how drastically your basic driving skills affect your track racing skills before this. HIGHLY recommended. I would take it again in a second, was so much fun! I especially enjoyed the obstacle course and the challenge of controlling the skid car.
