    I have no complaints with the behind the wheel instructors. Lisa (New Lenox) in particular is…read morewonderful, very accommodating and great with the kids. I would give her all 5 stars, but the website and scheduling experience is a disaster. Because they try and operate the same site with several states it is like reading a bad novel to figure out where the information relevant to your area and your student is at on the website. Scheduling is an absolute joke, if you don't login on the day the times are released it becomes really hard to get times, you also can only book two lessons at a time if you are lucky. They have a default of 2 weeks to schedule them apart which means for 4 plus months you are managing this process. I just called to schedule the road test thru them yesterday and the phones were down for the day, called back today at noon and they don't take calls during lunch. finally got someone on the phone after 10 minutes and they informed me i can only book the road test if i have his permit in front of me. They make this way too difficult and for the money makes it even worse that they have such bad technology to support a process that does not help the customer at all. In summary look for other places that offer these services because this one is not consumer friendly. Pat

    This place is a joke. The class room instruction is a waste. You might as well just post a youtube…read morelink. Good luck trying to schedule driving. it will take you 3 months to get 6 hours in.. if you are lucky. BUYER BEWARE!! THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS OUT THERE.. .

    This school had some of the best instructors. Andre was especially great. He was patient, and…read moreincredibly supportive. I can't thank him enough. I found his constructive criticism and words of encouragement helpful. His guidance and those drives to morris helped me master the road. In the yard, Chris saw me struggling with my straight back and immediately knew what I needed. Thanks Chris those cones on the d.o.t. Bar helped tremendously. Overall as a student you couldn't ask for a better driving school with instructors that care about your success.

    "Terrified Driver" is what the MANTENO, location should be called. I enrolled my daughter about…read morethree years ago now. This poor kid is not driving because her first lesson was an experience of terror! I told the instructor that she does not have much experience driving on busy roads, just neighborhood and back roads, that it may be advisable to start there. I booked lessons on Sunday mornings so the traffic would be light. This crazy instructor takes her onto the busy intersection on Division street , where there are semi trucks entering/leaving the highway! Then she takes her down route 50 north, more trucks, then she has her make a u-turn on the railroad tracks by the Will County Fairgrounds in Peotine, and head back south on Rt. 50 to Manteno. Upon returning my daughter looked stressed like she wanted to cry, her hands were shaking! The instructor told me she's a bit rough and needs more practice. The minute she got in my car she started sobbing and told me what happened! How she could hardly breathe and was terrified she'd get into an accident! But managed to keep it together. That the car was dirty, and sticky, and there was garbage in it! I wanted to call and complain, but she didn't want me to, fearing retaliation on her next lesson. There never was a next lesson, she was afraid to go back. It's been almost three years and she's afraid to drive. Very expensive, money lost.

    As a hard working parent DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with this school. The scheduling for driving…read morelessons is ridiculous, it shouldn't take the better part of 8 months to get her 6 hours of driving and 6 hours of observation. The state only allows 9 months to get it done or she has to start over and of course forfeit our money. I am very disappointed that driving school expects me to teach her to drive and they just critique her skills. I'm paying YOU the instructor to do it. She aced the written test and did well with certain instructors, the ones that actually instructed her. Now they want to prolong the process and get more money! Screw that! We are done and I just want to warn any unsuspecting students that want to drive, it will take you about a year if you go through this school. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
