So I took my drivers test here this morning after the DMV made me. Colorado is such a weird place…read morewhy wouldn't you just test for you driving test for a drivers license at the DMV is beyond me. I guess it's just another way for a middleman to charge you $86 to take a test just so you can wait another three months to actually take your results for the test to the DMV for an actual license. my frustrations, aren't with this place though it's with the DMV itself. Anyway, you have to make an appointment online and you even get to pick your instructor. I chose Elliot. Worked out good for me because he was really friendly and surprisingly funny. Made the test seem less nerve racking than I was making it out to be. Pro tip if they give you the option don't pick route 9 there's a stop sign you can barely see cause of bushes and low hanging branches on trees. I had to stop last minute wasn't a fun way to begin the test. (if you run the stop sign it's an automatic fail) Oddly enough, they do have a lot of amenities in the office like snacks and drinks and stuff which is not what you would expect! Anyway five stars because I passed

The tester chose to yell at and curse the parent out before the parent had time to excuse the child from the room. When the parent called them out on their behavior the staff made excuses claiming that they have a 4.5 yelp review rating who would possibly believe them for making such claims. DO NOT allow your children to be alone with these poor excuses of human existence. My child will go somewhere else.

We had an appointment and didn't even know the business had shut down until we showed up--only to find a handwritten paper note taped to the door saying they were closed. I took time off work (which cost me income) and pulled my kid out of school for this appointment. We rearranged our day, only to be met with silence and a piece of paper. Loyal customers (second child to go through the program) deserve at least a little consideration and a heads-up. Do better!

I received both an email and text confirmation for this appointment just 2 days ago. We went to the other company who knew nothing about my son or his appointment. Took him out of school for nothing. No call, text, or email letting us know about their situation. Woukd stay far away from this company. Also pretty sure that I paid for the test when I signed up for his test, but had to pay another $90 to get his test scheduled with the other company.

I remarked that it was hot outside, and she said, snarkily, you'll be OK. So I waited outside under the shade of a tree. When the testing driver (Cory?) got there, he told me I needed to move because the tree was too close to the door, and I wasn't allowed to stand there. Their attitudes were insulting and dismissive. Unfortunately, I failed my test. I have to admit that the testor had some good points, even though his attitude bordered on rude. I will be retaking the test in a week or two, but certainly not with you. As a company, I believe your employees need retraining in customer service. Possibly you need to select people who have better people skills. If you are a senior citizen, I recommend finding another place to go because these folks will make you feel old, stupid, and disrespected.

My second went through in 2020 and while the actual driving program was still good, the rest of the experience left a lot to be desired. Scheduling was difficult, staff were rude, lots of miscommunications, etc. To be fair, this was during and recently after COVID so we chalked it up to everyone having a difficult time. Fast forward to 2023 and my third daughter went though their program. This cost had skyrocketed, but we wanted her to have the best of the best and be as safe as possible so we did the full program, same as the first two. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were with the entire program. Things didn't improve after COVID, but had further deteriorated. It was such an awful experience for both of us that I swore off MasterDrive. Here I am with two 14 year olds needing driving school and looking for a new one. I've come across many reviews with similar experiences and reminding me not to use MasterDrive. It's a shame that they have gone from the best of the best, to the most expensive and poorly rated school. Save yourself a lot of $ and heartache and go elsewhere!

We had no idea the DMV would have such a long wait to schedule a test, but this school got us in and out the same day. If I ever move back to Colorado and need to do a driving test, I will go here.

With each item my ire was rising. After the instructor explained all the reasons for a fail, by two points, it was hard to remain calm. The reason for the fail was for allowing the steering wheel to autocorrect. The instructor had to "take a point" for EVERY turn. We retook the test the following day with American Driving Academy. They require using their fleet, because the cars allow the instructor to take over. We passed!
