My wife completed a single initial lesson in May and decided to upgrade to a 5-lesson adult package in July, paying an additional $350.05. Since purchasing the package, she has called weekly trying to schedule the remaining sessions, but the school was consistently unable to provide any appointments. When we finally requested a refund for the services they could not deliver, they refused to issue a refund and claimed they could not guarantee any service would ever be provided. Taking hundreds of dollars upfront, failing to offer availability for months, and refusing to refund unrendered services is completely unacceptable. We have been forced to file a credit card chargeback to recover our funds. Avoid this driving school

These are not the types of people you want any potential driver to be learning from. Seriously, my brother tried getting lessons from them and would come home and have nervous breakdowns. These instructors are idiots and know nothing about safely handling vehicles, and I honestly question who gave them their licenses. 911 Driving School: get your instructors some therapy. That's the real emergency here. These lunatics are on the road and scarring future drivers. I would love to give zero stars.

The zoom link for classes rarely worked properly, always routing my son to register again. The time…read morespent to try to access the class was incredible frustrating each day. They are very strict on the start time (which I appreciate), but that means links need to work properly. Also, my son was sick, very sick, and we had to pay $89 cancellation fee for his driving lesson. Again, I know there are policies, but when a child is sick there is no grace or compassion. This is all business. I do not recommend this company for the above two reasons. I amount of time I had to take off work to email with issues about accessing the court, or micromanage the course itself is ridiculous. For $800+ accessing zoom should be simple, recording attendance should be easy and if a child is sick, there should be one reschedule that is allowed. I genuinely don't leave bad reviews unless I truly feel as though the service was not acceptable and in this case, I feel this deeply. My drivers ed experience was amazing as a kid. It was empowering and exciting. My kid has had nothing but frustration since enrolling. 0 stars.

The driving lessons I took from him helped me develop enough courage and confidence to drive on road without any issues which eventually helped me crack the road drive test. Mr. Suleman taught me the right way to follow the traffic rules and safety procedures. He is gentle, polite and very friendly with good communication skills. It was wonderful that he is able to guide and teach in Hindi and English both. I am impressed by his ability to teach in an effortless manner and would highly recommend him!

We had gone for a driving skills test for my wife. It also included a 1 hour warm up in our car…read morebefore the test. Sam did not even inform my wife before starting the test. He just evaluated her based on the warm up and failed her based on some mistakes that she had done during that time. In the end when the warm up was done, we came to know that the test was also already over. Both me and my wife were shocked since Sam never informed my wife before starting the test. Overall we had paid $320 for the 1 hour warm up and test. It was just an utter waste of such a large amount of money. During the warm up, he had also called me and asked me if I wanted to take any additional driving lessons for my wife with him. He said that there were some gaps in her driving and that it would take additional lessons to fix those. And for that I would have to again pay him $160 more for a 1 hour lesson. I had already paid him $320 before for the warm up and test. So we refused for any additional lessons. Such a sham!! I feel that if we had agreed to pay the extra money and take the extra lessons then he would have informed my wife before starting the test and also passed her. But because we didn't he had already made up his mind from beforehand that he would fail her and hence did not even inform her before starting the test and just failed her based on some random mistakes during the warm up. Also my wife told me that before the warm up, he had intentionally disconnected our car's dashcam. Now that we think about it, the reason why he had done that is so that his voice does not get recorded in it. So that later we cannot file a complaint against him with proof. He is a corrupt instructor and his driving school should be immediately shut down.

Our biggest issue was that he couldn't speak English well, but his proctor, Niykee, eliminated that barrier by using hand signals instead.

The agents over the phone named Ryan and Lucas are very helpful. You have to book and pay first over their website and the agents will help you through the process. For the actual test, my husband mentioned that the instructor/test agent is very nice! (Her name is Kim by the way) Though he is very nervous, she made him calm and confident. After the test, she went over the mistakes and discussed it with him. Disclaimer: My husband passed the test. Tip: If you can bring your own car (which you have been using for practice) will be the best option for the test. Remember: cars accelerates and decelerates differently. Gist: the more familiar you are with the car for the exam, the higher chance of passing! One more thing, mistakes accumulates and hurts your grade. So, practice practice practice. Goodluck!

I had a really great experience with Lonnie! He was such a gem and was incredibly kind, patient,…read moreand reassuring during my road test. He made me feel comfortable and supported, which made a stressful experience much easier. I really appreciated his attitude and professionalism. Unfortunately, I had a very different experience with another examiner, Santiago. He spoke extremely quietly, which made it difficult for me to understand his instructions during the test. I also felt very uncomfortable because his overall attitude came across as harsh and unfriendly. At times, I felt like I was being marked down for things that I believed I was doing correctly, and the experience left me feeling like I wasn't being given a fair chance. I think the experience can really depend on who you get for your road test. If you get Lonnie, you're in great hands! My experience with Santiago, however, was very discouraging and unfortunately made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I hope the school takes feedback like this seriously because the examiner's attitude can make a huge difference for students who are already nervous about their test.

I would not recommend this driving school based on our experience…read more When we enrolled, we were told the total cost would be $697 plus tax. We were also told that the knowledge test and driving test would be free, that they would provide transportation to the driving test, and that they would help schedule the driving test appointment once my child completed the course. After my child finished the course, we were told to pay for both the knowledge test and the driving test, which was completely different from what we were promised. This was very disappointing. In addition, the staff were rude and unprofessional when we asked questions. Clear communication, honesty, and respect for customers are essential, and unfortunately, we did not experience that. Many of their clients are immigrants or people whose first language is not English. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with respect, regardless of their background or language. I hope the school improves its customer service and is more transparent about its pricing and services so future students know exactly what to expect. I wish I had read the reviews before enrolling my child in this driving school. If I had, I would have chosen a different school--or simply taught my child myself.
