    They are using too old car for practice exam to be operated. Service givers have very weak communication skills

    We enrolled our granddaughter for the winter driving class. Watch the videos on the Internet and…read morethe experience was nothing like that at all. There was no "slick track" they watered down some asphalt and let them slide a little bit, but there was no real simulation of driving on ice or snow. Extremely disappointed! Do not recommend them at all.

    This company exceeds in teaching their students about how to be a safe driver. But, as someone who…read moreis on the spectrum that needs structure; Master Drive falls short in that field. Having to schedule driving lessons with them is an ABSOLUTE PAIN because their lessons are MONTHS OUT and at odd times, which is an absolute inconvenience. Just to add more salt to the wound, they expect you to pay for three driving lessons for their standard package which does not help you with their driver's test in anyway. Oh? Do you want better results behind the wheel with our premium package? TOO BAD! It costs 1,000 dollars. I wish they could give you more time behind their wheel because driving in an unfamiliar car where you don't know how the car handles isn't a fun experience. And don't get me started with the cars! The floorboards are caked with dirt, the seats inside of the cars are worse for wear, and I've gotten a comment from my teenage brother who's also a student at Master Drive that the Kia Soul that he drived smelled like sweat. The cars that they expect the students to drive don't handle very well especially with the breaks being very spongy. As a driving school that pride's itself for safety, you'd expect them to maintain their cars. NOPE! Their cars are terribly maintained. Take your business somewhere else unless if your okay with a being handed a booklet and a pat on a back that says " We're not going to teach you. You should do our job for us " because this school does not engage with you in anyway with their instructors. Yes, parental guidance is important for driving. But, the instructor needs to also be in the picture creating a personalized plan for their student. Which Master Drive does not with only three lessons in their standard package. Driving students need more time to drive with instructors that want to help their students and be supportive to help them become a safe driver. Protect your pockets people! Find another driver's school or teach your student yourself!

    As someone who has been a corporate trainer for over 20 years as well as an OSHA trained safety…read moretrainer, I was appalled at the Commerce City locations CDL training. Orientation consists of the students sitting around a conference table as each instructor comes in and tells horror stories of things that can happen on the road. There was no class schedule or agenda for any given day. We did not know what we were going to be doing until we were doing it. There was no overall plan conveyed. No feedback given. One day after lunch my group stood around for 2 plus hours waiting for our instructors to figure out what we were doing. We were told to be there at 6:30AM every day, but didn't leave the office until 7:30 or 8:00. Every instructor taught everything differently. I was taught the Pre-Trip inspection 3 different ways from 3 different instructors. I watched them move students from 1 truck to another, no consistency. Had one instructor that insisted on smoking while teaching us. At one point, our class of 16 was mixed in with another class of 9 halfway through the course. There was 10 students spread between 2 trucks and 2 instructors at the backing yard. I watched as 1 student, who was in the middle of performing his first successful offset backing, get stopped by his instructor and pulled out of the truck to leave in another. Everyone in my class had their tests rescheduled if not once, but multiple times. Students were forced to test in trucks that they were not familiar with and the even had different length of trailers. Spent a grand total of 5 minutes in their simulator. Instructors tell you that 95% of the trucks on the road are automatic transmissions, yet Excel has a grand total of 1 in their fleet. They insist on trying to train people how to drive a standard transmission that have never even done so in a car. Now lets get to the safety aspect or lack thereof. We were forced to perform pre-trip inspections while parked along a busy frontage road. No signs anywhere on the truck that says student driver. On day 2, with zero drivetime behind the wheel, I sat in the sleeper cab and watched as a 23 year old that had never even driven a standard transmission before, be required to drive in rush hour traffic on I76 to go to the backing yard. Our instructor got us lost numerous times while a student was driving, once having a student drive through narrow residential streets. Instructor having us turn right when he meant left and vice versa. At one point even had a student turn down a dead end road. Had a tire blow out on the trailer in the middle of nowhere and had to sit on the side of the road for 3 hours. After the course was done I reached out to some of the students in my class and found out that 13 of the 16 students failed their 1st test. That tells me its not the students, its the instruction.

    Do not recommend! I was a trainer there and had no training myself as a trainer as i was promised…read moreupon accepting job. They trained me for about 8 days after saying it would be 5 weeks and then let me alone with 3 students who had no idea on how to drive. NO communication what so ever! Don't waste your time or money!
