I had a very good experience taking lessons from Excel. Dave, my instructor, was awesome. He is a…read morevery patient person and that's exactly what you need when you are learning to drive. I highly recommend him for an instructor. To this day, I still use his advice when I'm on the road. He has definitely made me a safe and alert driver. The only problem I had was with the online payment. I put my deposit down and it took 6 weeks for anyone to call and schedule a time. Now there was a long wait (4 weeks) because you are basically fighting with all the high schoolers to get a spot. But once I called about this, I was set up for a schedule right away. This is the place in the area to learn how to drive.

I would give a zero if I could. we were promised a home pick up for the driving portion(it's why…read morethe school was chosen at a higher price). That is a lie. My child was bounced around instructors, one of them physically and verbally assaulted her. The instructor she was assigned to had no openings most of the summer because she "wasn't working." We tried to schedule and were given final drives available after school started, not conducive. I was refused service or a refund to take my child elsewhere for the drives. Excel are crooks and scam artists.

Kiran taught my boys to be patient when driving and to follow all of the rules of the road. Kiran prepared them very well for their final driving exam. Kiran was extremely flexible and patient with them in working in their behind the wheel appointments and helping them on areas of improvement. We are so thankful to have Kiran for both of my boys for their behind the wheel instructor. Kiran prepared both of my boys very well to be new drivers. We would highly recommend Kiran Haq for Excel Company.

Very disappointing experience with MyDrive Academy. My younger brother contacted them because he…read morewanted driving lessons and more practice with a professional instructor. He clearly communicated that he was not comfortable taking the road test yet and only wanted classes. Instead of listening to that, their response pushed him toward scheduling the road test anyway and encouraged him to purchase additional lessons. It felt more like a sales push than actually helping the student. My brother is autistic, and driving situations can already be stressful for him. He tried to explain that he wasn't ready and just wanted more practice, but that didn't seem to be taken into consideration. We asked for a refund for the road test fee since the service was never performed and was never even scheduled, but they refused and cited a strict "no refund" policy. It's disappointing to see a company refuse to refund an unused service instead of working with the student.

Ms. Sabrina was incredibly disrespectful to me when I took the driving lessons. I had her for 7/10…read morelessons I had, and each one, I felt immensely under pressure, and every move I made was critiqued even if it was correct. she often tapped the break when I was driving fine, when I asked what was wrong, she just said I messed something up without actually telling me my mistake. all of the other instructors I had were great and incredibly informativ, except her. One of my friends recently took a driving test there with her to finally get her license she has been waiting for, for so long. but she failed her because she was barely over a yellow line when turning at an intersection. This was her only mistake. You better hope you do not receive her as a driving instructor. 2 of my other friends also had her a hefty amount, ans have horror stories of how much of a jerk she was.

All the prior reviews citing the inability to schedule behind the wheel sessions is spot on. The…read moreare SEVERELY understaffed - obviously do not have enough instructors to offer enough sessions to meet the demands of the customer load they have eagerly taken on. Sessions book up IMMEDIATELY - and you'll end up having to wait another month to get a second chance to win the lottery of getting a behind the wheel session. Additionally, you will need to pay more money to reinstate your agreement when you are unable to complete all required sessions within the time period.

They took me from start to finish with care and complete professionalism. 160 truly cares about you as an individual, and goes above and beyond to help strengthen your individual weaknesses. I had been at another driving school, but to them I was just cattle!! After 2 months the instructor never even knew my name. As a professional courtesy I won't mention their name, but what a waist of my over $2,100 hard earned dollars. I would very highly recommend 160 Truck Driving Academy to anyone who wants to learn from a school that cares about your skills and safety. And a Very Special Thank You to: Kim, Dave, Duck, Mr. Wally, Carl and Tim. I look forward to seeing you all again, with my new truck.

I passed my road test last week! Imran Khan was my driving instructor. He is a very patient and…read morefocused instructor. His primary focus is improving the student's road skills; everything else comes second! He provides really good guidelines about the road rules of Illinois. He would also make us feel comfortable by talking about his learning experience. The USP of this driving school is that, unlike other driving schools, Imran is focused on ensuring his students become excellent, efficient, smart and defensive drivers, no matter what their current level of expertise in driving is! He identifies the areas of improvement and the mindset shift that is needed and gives us more practice in those areas. For example, I am used to the driving attitude from a different country. I had to unlearn those guidelines and shift my mindset to tune to the driving attitude of Illinois. I am really glad I learned driving from Imran sir! Kudos to his efforts and sincerity!!

I emailed expressing that driving 45 min to Naperville was out of the question. I have 3 other kids at home and a hectic schedule. I chose the orland location for connivence. Nothing was done. Covid hit and now I reach back out to them about the situation and they tell me they are waving the $100 reinstatement fee because he was to complete it in nine months but couldn't because of covid. Oh so you think you are doing me a favor? The school closed without warning. Giving no other option then to go to Naperville. You're. Ittalking a 10 min extra drive. You're talking 45! All I want is a refund for the driving portion so I can have him take it closer to home. That was the point of choosing your school in the first place. Called today to schedule my child's driving. Willing to accept the fast it is what it is. That was until I spoke to the very rude and frustrated lady at this Naperville location. I repeatedly asked to speak to someone else and she repeatedly told me she was the only person. Refused to listen, kept cutting me off. I guess I was suppose to be happy about signing my son up close to home only to go 45min away. The owner called me and she is just as nuts. Right off the start she says "I walked in and my employee told me about the abuse she suffered" lol ABUSE!! Lady right there I knew that conversation was getting no where. Now what's the point of taking driving there. I totally lost trust and feel they might fail my child just from how they reacted over the phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! The owner even said to me what was the difference traveling to them when I travel for baseball? Ummm let me tell you the difference crazy lady! When I signed my son up for baseball I knew we would travel! It was planned in advance and I made arrangements well in advance! When I signed my son up for driving school it was the convenience of being close to home. No one in their right mind would sign a child up for driving school almost an hour awa
