You'll get experiences on the road for city drives and some highway drives so you can get a comfortable feel for the vehicles. All of this and personal study, really helps on the day of the practical exam for the state. I really enjoyed my experiences with this team and I would recommend them to anyone interested.

Do they have BICYCLE instructors too? lol Over rated and…read moreover priced, no value- YOU are better off doing it yourself or having grandpa help. They provide no useful service- your grandpa is better qualified than the untrained so called instructor sitting next to you, who is just the average joe that has tried to drive a manual at least once in thier life. Who makes them no more qualified than my 14 year old little sister who knows how to drive but doesnt have her drivers license, but could talk you through it better than these characters. Its not rocket science and before automatic cars people drove manual cars, everywhere and learned by themselves!! because they PRACTICED!! They didnt pay people to watch them practice or ride with them to practice...Anything takes practice, so ask a friend to ride along -go to an empty lot or country road or even a cemetary (has hills) and practice!!! push in clutch start/stop/shift gears - let out clutch - go! Kill it? repeat previous steps! Dont pay some bogus scam business some astronomical price for something they dont even provide! These are not trained instructors but actors playing the part!! DONT GET SCAMMED or tricked out of your hard earned money!! If you are lonely find a companion preferrably the kind that does not charge you for their time. Learning is a process dont be afraid of it! Quiters never win!!

I was very pleased with this service! I bought my own stick shift (manual Kia Soul) about two…read moremonths ago and started learning to drive it on my own.... Then, I burned the clutch trying to go uphill (more than once - resulting in a need for a new clutch) and felt extremely discouraged. I was very nervous to get behind the wheel again, thinking I may cause further damage to my car. I was referred to Stick Shift Driving Academy from a family member, and it was just what I needed. After speaking with JC at customer service about my availability, I was matched with Amber, a driving instructor in my area. Amber called me and we set up a place to meet and practice that was close and convenient for me (along a bus line). Stick Shift Driving Academy hosts many driving instructors throughout the U.S. and you are matched with one in your area based on your needs. In my case, I was very happy to learn from another woman! Amber was very patient and understanding. We used her car to practice, so I felt comfortable trying new things and was not worried about burning the clutch on my older vehicle. She also helped me understand what could have gone wrong for me to burn my clutch, and I haven't had that "burning rubber smell" since! I drove with Amber for four hours (the High Power Vehicle Package). I will say - I think the packages should really just be thought of as "how long do you want to drive for?"- I don't think the packages really relate to different "levels."- The instruction is flexible and based off of the customer's needs. In my case, I really needed to focus on hills, so that's what we did. We found an empty parking lot with some hills, and did that until I felt comfortable. Additionally, I learned downshifting, reversing, feathering (a technique new to me, and soooo helpful!), and of course shifting to 1st gear. Overall, I highly recommend Stick Shift Driving Academy and Amber. My confidence in driving my own vehicle is way up, and I'm conquering hills in the Seattle area with more ease!

When asked about testing instructions and evaluation, instructor became defensive and angry. Felt very scam like. This was for permit only, not even endorsement. Scam?

I felt very welcomed when walking in the office. I met Nico my drivers instructor in the lobby and…read morehe was very welcoming and friendly. Before we started the test he made sure I was comfortable and made sure I didn't have any question. Nico explained what the test would look like before be began driving. While taking my test he made sure he gave me enough time to turn lanes or make a left turn. I had my last instructor in Lakewood tell me when to turn last minute which caused me to "lose points". Here they definitely make you feel comfortable and they don't judge you when you make a mistake simply kindly explain how you could do better or differently at the end of the test. -Esmeralda E.

From the…read moremoment I called to get initial information to the passing of the final driving exam, I was absolutely impressed with the excellent customer service to both me (parent) and my teen. The instructors were kind, patient,appropriate, informative, timely, and efficient. When you call the business, they answer their phone and are courteous and helpful. There were always a lot of options for class times and drive times. They were always on time and ready to go and didnt keep anyone waiting. The vehicles the teens drove for practice were clean and well kept. The fees charged for the course were reasonable for the service received and lower than other competitors. My other teens used another popular driving school in town and I was less than impressed with them. I am so glad I decided to give South Sound a try. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I emailed 911 driving school and let them know that I wanted to withdraw my daughter and how could I go about getting refunded for the half class fee that I had put down. After asking several times I finally had an answer from someone that said they sent the request to "their accountant" with no other details provided. It's now been three weeks. This is horrible customer service, a little communication goes a long way. I still have not gotten an answer on when I will receive my refund for the half of the class that I put down. This is very bad business. I feel like at this point I am being swindled out of my money and cannot recommend this place.

He was extremely rude to him and basically marked him off six points each category for the slightest "error".

The instructor took his $80 failed him and then offered for another appointment that afternoon to try again. Which he declined and like I said went on to get his license through department of licensing with flying colors.
