Make sure you can't be sick and reschedule. Your urgency is their business. Anyway if you are ok with their price and if you pass the test, it's worth it. Otherwise let's talk money, you pay $85 again. Your luck, their call. Tips- the girl at the counter is very nice and friendly. When you pay to schedule, ask her for test evaluation sheet so you have a clue what your kid will be doing. They will not offer that info automatically (almost like because they kinda want you to fail and pay another $85 to reschedule). I asked so she kindly explained the rule that you can fail "minors" up to 8 points and still pass. But "major" faults is a 1 time thing-- such as red light, stop sign violations, or anything that makes the examiner step on brake (yes they have brake on passenger side!) it will cause you exit the test right away. Another thing you should know, unlike at DMV you do not get to drive your car that you are familiar with. They only have Kia and it's gas. If you are used to EV pedals make sure you borrow grandpa's gas car for a day. I minus one star for just that. On the day you might have 2 examiners, one new and one supervisor in the back. The exam is quick like 20 minutes around town. Mostly about intersections, change lanes, using signals. No highway (disappointed). No parallel parking (very disappointed). Please please teach your kids to be proficient in parking for their own sake. After all it's NOT hard to pass. If your kid has been driving with you daily for at least a year, you shouldn't be worried at all. $85 is good investment and worth not to deal with DMV attitudes.

She is unpleasant in general, questionable in her role as an "instructor", and unapologetic as well as unaccountable. After an incident in her class where my high school daughter and I were specifically singled out for harassment, Loree determined that my intention to reach out directly to ODOT was a "threat", and expelled my daughter (who had participated respectfully and had never missed a single class session or driving lesson) from her program. A legal challenge had to be made, and a complaint to ODOT filed. If you prefer to interact with a driving school that is ethical, with a strong customer service orientation and an eye towards treating students fairly above all, this is not the right driving "academy" for your family.

Unfortunately disappointing; while it did take Loreen (the owner) several days to pick up the…read morephone, that is not the most disappointing part of this review. While she may be an adequate "driving instructor," I don't believe that Loreen is necessarily at her best when she interacts with people. Especially when it involves taking accountability and apologizing. Loreen and I spoke on the telephone twice, for a length of time before coordinating dates/times that would best suit my daughters schedule and hers. After verbally discussing pricing and scheduling, a PayPal invoice was delivered to my email address. 1. The invoice was incorrect. When I telephoned Loreen, I asked her to please send a corrected invoice. She immediately countered with, "No, I didn't make an error. That is how much the driving lesson cost." Needless to say, the invoice was again emailed with the correct pricing. So YES, she did make an error and NO, she did not apologize. 2. An email with dates for the scheduled driving driving dates/times was to be emailed to my daughter. (I had placed them in my calendar as well). It was not emailed, even after calling twice to remind her. 3. Yesterday was suppose to be my daughters first driving lesson. At 10 minutes past the hour, no driving instructor had arrived. I telephoned Loreen, she said that she had no recollection of us speaking and that she certainly would not have scheduled driving instruction without payment. I DID pay, the same day that the invoice arrived, via PayPal. Which she discovered after looking at her payments. Her tone with me was condescending and rude. To finish out an otherwise long review; I understand that we all make mistakes. That life can be stressful and overwhelming. That being said, it would have been professional and humanly kind, for Loreen to apologize and make an attempt to remedy her error. Instead she has overbooked with other clients. After a couple telephone conversations, she is refunding me in cash today (I don't trust her to actually send a refund otherwise). People, integrity and kindness go a long way in this world. You will be pleasantly surprised how people lean into you, and are inspired by your light. Pay it forward here and there, and be kind. Take ownership if you have made a mistake and do your very best to remedy it. :-)

I paid $515 for Mr. Mohammed's driving class in December 2025 for a class that was supposed to…read morestart at the beginning of 2026. At the time, I was 17 and turning 18 in April. I was very upfront with him that I didn't have a lot of time to spare, but I was willing to learn, put in the work, and do everything I needed to do to earn my license. Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Mr. Mohammed's tone toward me was often rude and disrespectful. He also repeatedly pointed out that I was one of the only Black students and made comments about how, because I was Black, I needed to work harder and things along those lines. He constantly compared me to other drivers and students, which made me feel even more discouraged. After only my second drive, he told me directly that I was not going to pass the class. If I was supposedly not going to pass, I was given no real solution, additional support, or offer of a refund at the time. Communication was also a major issue. He would barely respond to messages, cancel scheduled drives, and there were times when I would show up expecting to drive but was instead told to watch someone else drive. I was not offered makeup time for the driving time I missed or paid for. Yes, I was behind, but that was exactly why I enrolled in a driving school. I was paying for professional instruction and practice so that I could improve, not to be discouraged or told I was going to fail after only a couple of drives. What makes this even more frustrating is that I recently saw Mr. Mohammed respond to another review on Google claiming that he gives refunds when requested. In my situation, my mother contacted him directly months ago about getting a refund, and he never responded to her message. He left her on read. So seeing him publicly state that he provides refunds when requested does not match my experience whatsoever. I have the messages and documentation showing that my mother did reach out about a refund and that he did not respond. I have also kept evidence of my communications, payments, canceled/missed drives, and other interactions because of how this situation was handled. My mother tried to address the issue with him months ago, and he chose not to respond. At this point, I am prepared to pursue the matter through the appropriate channels if necessary. Overall, I found this driving school to be extremely unprofessional. I paid $515 expecting to receive instruction, practice, and support toward earning my license. Instead, I dealt with poor communication, canceled or missed driving time without proper makeup opportunities, disrespectful comments, and very little support when I was struggling. I understand that learning to drive takes work and that I had areas I needed to improve, but that is the entire reason I paid for a professional driving school in the first place. I would strongly recommend doing your research before paying for this school.
