He called me while I was heading up to the office being rude and saying he will cancel even though I told him I was heading up. I then walk in and the first four words he says is "why are you late" according to your 5 minute late policy, I am not. Super rude and unprofessional. I asked for a refund and a manager came out also not deescalating and made it very difficult to receive my refund. Marcos Castillo should have his instructing permit removed. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and the state of Colorado. DO NOT GO HERE!! If I could give zero stars, I would!

I can not express my gratitude for Ms.Colleen at this southeast Aurora Location as she quite…read morehonestly saved my life and went above and beyond for me to secure me a SAME DAY driving test. I capitalized same day because it is remarkable, impressive, and absolutely rare that you are able to ever get a same day appointment. After taking a visit to the DMV and realizing that my last drivers test had expired and I would need to take another in person test with a driver in order to upgrade my permit to a license, I was utterly panicked. I expressed to Colleen the urgency of my situation because I had a flight leaving to North Carolina for work later in the evening and desperately needed proof of my license for an upcoming court date pertaining to a location. Colleen was patient, understanding, and actionable; nevertheless, she listened to my story and spoke to me in a way that really felt like she cared and wanted to help me. She had a way of reassuring me and making me feel like I was a priority to her and proceeded to look up all other drive safe locations in the area to see if she could muster up any availability to squeeze me in for a drive test. In fact, she even called in a favor to her fellow coworker at the Greenwood Village location. Colleen exhausted all of her resources to help me- a stranger- and was a key factor in why I now boast a license today. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Colleen! It was so refreshing to be treated like I was important, like I mattered, and like my needs were heard when a lot of the other driving companies and services tend to be abrupt and non-personal. I would highly recommend this location for all of your driving needs because they offer something no other driving resource or DMV has- quality customer service and genuine associates.

My experience with this company was incredibly bizarre and frustrating due to a total lack of…read moreorganizational trust, substandard working conditions, and absent leadership. Despite demanding an on-site IT presence, the company provides zero backstock or basic equipment; I was forced to use an antiquated 15-year-old monitor balanced on top of an empty router box inside a cramped, obstructed, sub-200-square-foot room with a highly disruptive coworker. Compounding this, leadership has entirely tied the hands of the IT department out of paranoia over past employees. Routine technical tasks that should take minutes now require layers of executive approval and can take weeks to resolve. Meanwhile, domestic IT staff are denied the basic administrative access required to manage the network safely, even though broad VPN access is granted to unsecured overseas contractors over a network built heavily on freeware and open-source tools. Management presence is strictly performative; the manager openly stated during hiring that he would just be happy if someone stayed three months, spent his time on his own outside businesses, and remained entirely unresponsive to direct messages. To top it off, there is a severe disparity in compensation; while headhunters and site managers get full benefits and PTO, IT is left with a strict hourly rate and virtually nonexistent health coverage. This company simply does not respect or understand the basics of IT.

I remember driving my past lover here for his license and seeing how appreciable the older gentleman in the office truly is. Instead of dealing with a headache full of DMV robots, you pay for your convenience! A mere fee of $80 (which my ex had only $60) and the older gentleman pardoned it and allowed him to take his test. What do you know next? He passed! Months later in August, my mother and I inquired our time here, and I loved the process of seeing the new technique of having an easy going instructor and the test was very easy. It was easy because the older gentleman was very kind, generous, and I wished to know of his name. He made the test seem NOT scary. I actually did fine. The instructor gives 100% clear directions 100% of the time. I was driving around the neighborhood, and the test was a breeze. And what do you know? I finished! Next is a breeze: you receive your stub with your info and go to the Tri-Country Building and have your photo taken there. They mail your new License in the mail, and you're finished!!!

So I decided to take the class to learn how to drive safely in snowy/icy weather. Michal was very knowledgeable and I learned a ton. The first part of the class involved watching informational slides as he talked and some videos of scary accidents. The actual driving portion was super fun! You get to practice how to handle different types of skidding, and Michal would give you notes on what went wrong and how to correctly navigate. I was not very good at first, but after doing it over and over again, it felt more like second nature by the end of class. I'd highly recommend this class!

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!

Next, I called the phone number listed on the website to get a price quote for driving lessons. Someone answered by saying "hello". The last time I checked this was supposed to be a business. Professionalism would be appreciated, so how about answering the phones in a professional manner, like including the name of your business when you answer so it doesn't sound like I am calling your house. Here's a better way to answer, "Hello and thank you for calling IOM Driving Academy. How can I help you?" I asked the person on the other end how much driving lessons were. She mumbled a number. I said that I could not hear her and I asked her to speak up. She again rambled a number. I again, said that I could not hear her. She hung up in my face. I called right back and magically, the phone went right to voicemail. Again, not even a professional voicemail message. I hung up and here I am typing this review. This place is not for me.
