We had gone for a driving skills test for my wife. It also included a 1 hour warm up in our car…read morebefore the test. Sam did not even inform my wife before starting the test. He just evaluated her based on the warm up and failed her based on some mistakes that she had done during that time. In the end when the warm up was done, we came to know that the test was also already over. Both me and my wife were shocked since Sam never informed my wife before starting the test. Overall we had paid $320 for the 1 hour warm up and test. It was just an utter waste of such a large amount of money. During the warm up, he had also called me and asked me if I wanted to take any additional driving lessons for my wife with him. He said that there were some gaps in her driving and that it would take additional lessons to fix those. And for that I would have to again pay him $160 more for a 1 hour lesson. I had already paid him $320 before for the warm up and test. So we refused for any additional lessons. Such a sham!! I feel that if we had agreed to pay the extra money and take the extra lessons then he would have informed my wife before starting the test and also passed her. But because we didn't he had already made up his mind from beforehand that he would fail her and hence did not even inform her before starting the test and just failed her based on some random mistakes during the warm up. Also my wife told me that before the warm up, he had intentionally disconnected our car's dashcam. Now that we think about it, the reason why he had done that is so that his voice does not get recorded in it. So that later we cannot file a complaint against him with proof. He is a corrupt instructor and his driving school should be immediately shut down.

I start to notice he's purposely waiting till the end but I was still being patient. He finally finished and looks at me ands like " ok give me your test"!!!???!!!!!!????? I was like sir please, I gave it to you an hour ago it should be at the bottom. I start laughing cause I really thought he was joking. He starts looking for two minutes and opening the folder with all the classes papers and says "Sorry I don't see anything here, please come back next week to retake the test"?!?!!!!! Mind you this is my second time coming back and now I'd have to pay to retake the test again!! I honestly started crying, lol I was so confused! Like whaaattt? He was trying to close without giving me my test ??!! so I go get my boyfriend and I have my dad on the phone. He immediatelyyyyy finds the test when we come back in and is like "hahah ok what day is good for you to do the drivers test" I took my paper and left. I wasted my money with these fools and had to pay another place to go take the knowledge and the drivers test. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!!
