The owner, Pete, was very accommodating and professional about the whole situation and scheduled my drives quickly and efficiently. They give you full driving lessons here, starting with parking strategies and real-world applications of what will be on the driving test at the DMV. They really prepared me for my driving test as well as what I see on the road every day while driving. The instructor that I had was very friendly and respectful towards me. Totally recommend.

Very responsive any time I've reached out for help and we've had no issue what so ever scheduling behind the wheel training or make up classes. Make ups can be done either at a couple of different time slots during the week with a self-taught option, or you can wait for that day's class to be retaught in another session and the student can sit in on it. Per SOS rules, driving sessions have to be 2 weeks apart minimum and students have to hold their permits for 9 months, so really there's plenty of time to get drives in unless you have a super inflexible, jam packed schedule. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience - far more convenient than doing it over the summer through the school for my mid spring term bday son and it didn't take up a timeslot in his school day either. Plus, again, the bonus of law enforcement officers as instructors. Win win win all the way around! Highly recommend.

The practice tests and tests were taken in partners and in large groups so you could never gage your knowledge of the material that will be on the permit tests and the tests that you have to take to pass the class. The "Behind the Wheel" drives that you are required to do are very uninformative and are mostly driving on straight, two-lane roads without any instruction in parking, lane changing, or highway driving. This place was so bad that I had to switch driving schools part way through my "Behind the Wheel" section. I would strongly recommend going anywhere else other than this place.

They are technically "buying" 5 star reviews, and they are teaching the students to pass the road…read moretest, not teaching them to be competent drivers. In the classroom portion of the class, the instructor was eating during class on a regular basis, and one time brought her puppy and put him in a separate room, where it was apparently not happy, and it proceeded to disturb the class the whole time. When it was time to take the written test, they offered the students "extra credit" points if their parents left a 5 star review for City Express. Hence the claim that they are buying the great reviews. After getting the permit, the school does not want to start the behind the wheel portion of the training until the child had 25hrs of driving experience with their parents. Which effectively means that I was teaching her how to drive, and the school was teaching her how to pass the test. They did nothing at all to teach them how to parallel park, but made sure they know how to park on a hill(which, in the age of automatic transmissions, is useless). So in summary I feel like I paid City Xpress almost $500 to buy my child a drivers license, that I had to train her for. I would not recommend this school.

Charles was probably the worst, making several comments insinuating that women are not good drivers. I was also questioned every time why I had waited so long to do a behind-the-wheel after I took the class, as if this was a bad thing for some reason. One behind-the-wheel instructor cut my session short because I was wearing perfume and it gave her a "headache" and then she tried to make me do another behind-the-wheel, which I would have had to pay for of course. Also, when I tried to have them send my grade from the class, and only the class (not the behind-the-wheel portion), they refused to do so and were extremely rude about it, which was extremely frustrating because I had received a better grade in the class portion than in the behind-the-wheel. My school (Dundee-Crown) only required the grade from the class portion and ended up having to go talk to my counselor to explain everything and get the grade changed, which technically she wasn't really allowed to do. Maybe for some students the difference between an A and a B doesn't really matter, but for me it did because I was at the very top of my class. If you are looking for a decent drivers education course, I honestly suggest just taking the class through your school, which is much cheaper and at many schools it means that you don't have to take a driving test at the DMV.

The company made it clear to send an email and make a call about any scheduling conflicts…read moreconcerning behind-the-wheels. What they didn't specify was what to say in the phone call. And so in the message (because all of their calls goes straight to taking messages) I mentioned everything TCDS said to put in the email. The phone message was long since they request for a lot of information for cancellations. The response I recieved rudely said "I couldn't last listening to your message that was, like, 10 minutes long. Just put that information in an email". End of message. Prior to making the call, I had already sent them an email with all that information and so her rude demand was unnecessary. And the exaggeration of the length of the message (that was really only 2-4 minutes long with the information they themselves request for) was uncalled for. In addition, I was scheduled for a behind-the-wheel between 5:00 and 5:30. Starting at 5:00, my dad and I literally stared out the house windows nonstop, waiting for the BTW instructor to arrive. Ten minutes after the time window, we tried calling TCDS but it literally only goes to taking messages so there was no one to ask about this tardiness. After every three minutes that passed by after that, I continued to check to see if anyone arrived. No one came by at all and by 7:00, it was time to accept that TCDS cannot manage themselves well enough to even notify a student that they simply could not hold up their end of this prescheduled BTW session.

One of the driving instructors is rude to the kids that are obviously just learning to drive. Making idiotic rude remarks isn't going to help them. Perhaps he should find himself a new career since dealing with teens isn't his strong suit. It takes them an eternity to answer emails and voicemails then they lie and say you never left one. They sure do take your money quick though. If you have a different choice of driving school, go with them and don't waste your time with these rude and inconsiderate people.
