The front desk at All Star is great, they always emailed me back quickly, were super easy to talk…read moreto, and made booking lessons really simple. No complaints there. My issue was with my instructor, Raki. Communication with him wasn't great. sometimes he wouldn't respond, and twice he cancelled on me last minute after I had already moved my plans around to make the lesson work. That was frustrating especially when I was trying to stay on schedule with my driving. Even in the lessons we did have, I didn't always feel like I was getting the full benefit. He was on his phone a lot while I was driving and a couple of times the lesson basically turned into me going along while he ran errands. It didn't feel super professional, and I just wish the focus had been 100% on my learning. The school itself is great on the admin side, but I think they really need to make sure all instructors are as reliable and professional as the front desk team

I strongly recommend avoiding this school. Don't be misled by the positive reviews -- while there…read moremay be one or two decent instructors, my experience exposed serious issues that others should know about. * On my very first road lesson, the instructor took a phone call while I was driving. During the call, he became irate and started trash-talking another student. His comments included sexist remarks, which made me extremely uncomfortable. * I asked him to stop and told him he was being unprofessional, that we should focus on the lesson. He doubled down, raised his voice, and told me (in his words) that he "hates" me and my sister and didn't want to be our instructor anymore. * He then refused to continue the lesson, saying, "Don't worry, your next instructor will teach you everything." Despite walking away from the lesson, the school still charged me for it. * The call he took was with the owner of the school. Even the owner seemed shocked -- I heard him ask on the phone, "Wait, is a student in the car with you?" So management knew what was happening in real time. * After the lesson, I called the owner immediately and made a complaint. He promised me they would do something about it. I followed up in writing with a detailed email, but nothing was ever done, and my complaint was ignored. * The instructor told me directly that because the owners were his friends, I "couldn't complain" about him and that they would never refund my money. Management proved him right by counting that "lesson" against my prepaid package anyway. This created an unsafe, high-stress environment during my very first lesson. Driving instructors should be patient and professional -- not hostile, sexist, or threatening, with owners who then cover for them. I eventually went to a different school where the experience was completely different. My advice: don't buy lesson packages here, and don't trust this school with your time or money.

Really mixed experience with Young Drivers. Lots I liked, but ultimately not worth the high asking…read moreprice PROS - good teachers and in-car lessons are thorough (residential, city and highway driving, mock-tests, emergency stops, safe space to train how to handle losing control of a vehicle) - the online course is too slow but very thorough: the repetition was grating, but now I'm driving, I can see its really helped good habits stick - when you call up to book/reschedule lessons, the staff are very helpful and clear CONS - they no longer come to your property to pick you up for lessons, unlike virtually every other driving school that charges half as much. You have to go to them, usually at some far flung gas station. This means I had to spend lots of money on taxis to get to my lessons. The idea that this is a "covid precaution" is nonsense - instructors do not mask, and they do not clean the car between lessons. I see nothing about this set-up that adds to anyone's safety. How is a busy gas station better than the driveway of my house? - once you complete the online course, you *cannot access the course materials ever again*. For the money you pay, it's insane that you cannot access it forever. Especially with graduated licenses, it makes sense to let me review material to prep for my G test. - beware that the promised discount to your insurance premium through learning via YD *is not always the case*. Not all insurers do it.

I had a very disappointing experience with AMB Driving School…read more We booked a G2 exit package that included lessons and a road test, and we clearly provided the test center location (37 Carl Hall Rd) from the beginning. At no point during booking or payment were we informed about any distance limit or additional travel charges. Just 2 days before the test, we were suddenly told that we had to pay extra because the location is "too far," referring to a 22 km limit that is nowhere clearly stated on their website or booking page. This lack of transparency and last-minute surprise fee is extremely unprofessional and stressful, especially when customers rely on these services for important tests. We even offered to meet the instructor closer to reduce the distance, but they refused to accommodate. Overall, very poor communication and hidden costs. I would not recommend this school unless they improve their transparency and customer service.

DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SCHOOL IF YOU WANT TO PASS THE G EXAM…read more First of all, their instructors only text you between 10 pm and midnight, which is really unprofessional. But here's what happened to me: Instructor n.1 left a CELLPHONE attached to the windshield during my G2 exam (they use it for recording purposes). The examiner was so furious that it derailed my whole test and I failed. Instructor n. 2 canceled classes 3 weeks in advance saying he had a family emergency. Instructor n.3 simply stopped responding to my messages when I told him I could not take classes on weekdays, as I have a 9-5 job. Instructor n.4 texted me at 11 pm on a Friday to change the schedule of the Saturday class and LIED to me saying that hadn't agreed to the time I proposed. Ultimately he was so completely confused about the day and time of classes and how many hours he should teach me that I completely lost faith in him and in the school. I had no choice but to cancel the classes with Globe Driving Academy. They let me down one week before my G-Full test and it was impossible to get another driving instructor on time. As result, I was feeling so nervous and unprepared during my G Full test that I failed it. If you want a stress-free learning experience, which is key to gaining confidence on the road, stay away from this school. Is not worth your money.

I truly believe all the positive reviews and that most people likely have great experience; if someone needed a driving school I am likely to recommend them. I just think that my experience needed a few extra tweaks to get a higher rating, personally. I didn't love that I had to go to their house for pick up and drop off. I often waited for my instructor to go into his house and "use the restroom", get himself a coffee, and started late often. My first lesson, I thought we jumped into things way too fast even though I explained that I had no idea what I was doing (we did a left turn immediately which is a lot for your first ten seconds of driving). My instructor often grabbed my wheel even as the weeks progressed - I did 13 hours total lessons - instead of actually verbalizing what he felt like I was doing wrong. This became very frustrating and I realized it was eroding my confidence versus building it up. What my biggest complaint is overall were the sheer number of errands I was taking on, on my dime, while I sat in the car waiting. I asked time and time again to practice parking, and we did once or twice only. I sat in the car once for over twenty minutes (I'm paying by the minute) while my instructor bought himself a battery. It was infuriating. I once picked up someone for him and drove them both back and my lesson ran over by thirty minutes (was not charged but I was late to pick up my son!) Another thing that happened was the day of my test, I was not in control of the experience at all. They told me to book my G2 at Oakville which really makes no sense and costs me 100s more to travel out there. He also made me book hours ahead of the test to "practice", but didn't end up doing any practicing. (Also, one of the errands we ran one time was to fill the gas tank for one of his students because "you need a full gas tank to take the test", but then for my test we didn't have a full tank so I asked about it, turns out that was total bs lie to get me to run an errand on my dime). Travel time is included in the cost of the G2 test, but he tried to double charge me both for travel time and for "practicing", and it's only because I spoke up that he adjusted it - if I was 16/17, I would have been walked all over. I didn't pass the test even after 13 hours of lessons, and had to do another lesson w a different business to pass. Overall - not the right school for me.

Despite many years of driving experience outside of Canada I needed to pass my road tests. Thanks…read moreto a friend's recommendation I learned about the Honours Driving school and got acquainted with Zia, one of the school instructors. I passed my G2 road test at first attempt and I truly believe this would not be possible without what I learned from and practiced with Zia. My recommendations are: listen to what your instructor tells you. Don't be shy to ask clarifying questions until you fully understand what the test requirements are. Make no assumptions like "i'm experienced enough, it should be easy". Practice your driving skills using Zia's recommendations. Repeat the exercises until it naturally becomes your habit. Listen to the test day guidance by Zia - that worked incredibly for me as I knew exactly what to expect, where to go, what to do, etc. I wholeheartedly recommend the Honours Driving School and Zia in particular to those who consider the proper test preparation as a valuable goal. Needless to say, you will save your time and money and I am sure you will not regret your choice, guys! Remember, the school teaches you not only to pass the test but also to drive safely and confidently. Isn't it important? Kind regards, Dmitrii

Decided to write a review for future students looking for a place…read more I was a bit hesitant to enrol with this school due to the lack of reviews on yelp or anything for that matter. They didn't even have a Facebook page (shocking isn't it?!). Well long story short. I'm very glad I enrolled here. For $372ish you get 20 hours of in class lessons (4 classes from 9am to 2pm), 10 hours of homework (which is a book they give you and you do the activities at home (literally took me 2 hours of actual homework, the rest was done in class with the instructor) and 10 hours in the car. They also offer weekends too, it just depends when they are holding sessions. Now i really cherish my sleep so waking up at 7am to go to a 9am class was brutal for me. But Stanisa which i'm not sure if he's the owner or instructor, maybe both, was funny and you actually pay attention. The first class was the basics and review of stuff u study for your g1, and then talks about signs, rules, regulations, federal/municipal signs etc. Class 2 was focused on driving/parking in the city and safety. Class 3 was more on highway driving and highway signs. Class 4 was based on how to buy a car, things to look for, how to change your tire, what different things in the car mean, drinking and driving, blood alcohol level, etc. Also classroom holds about 20-30 students, 90% teenagers, but a few odd ones like myself whom delayed getting their G2. :$ The in-car sessions were very good, Stanisa has pretty fast braking reflex.. haha, and explains things very thoroughly.
