Had a great experience here, I was accompanied by rick! He was awesome! he gave me some pointers on what i need to work on and made me feel comfortable and let me practice my parallel parking. I Defiantly recommend this place!

Mr. Martinez was my driving instructor and he is literally the BEST! He’s very helpful and attentive. He had no problems going over things I was having complications with and he has a very positive and calm aura. He didn’t get frustrated with me nor did he raise his voice. He went over everything more than twice and I needed that. He talks you through everything so you’re not left in the blind. He was always on time and ready. He tells good jokes too so that kind of eases the tension of the whole thing. I’m thankful for him and im getting my license thanks to him. He needs a raise and he is HIGHLY recommended!

Absolutely unprofessional. I took the adult course and the instructor, Inette, made a really rude, unprofessional comment. She asked who hasnt driven and I had not so I raised my hand. She asked why and I answered honestly saying it was my anxiety. She made a remark that I needed to get over it. Absolutely disrespectful. Both Inette and the receptionist talked loudly throughout the ENTIRE permit test. Halfway through the permit test the instructor realized she forgot to teach us entire portion of the curriculum. I am PAYING for this class and I expect better from the instructors and institution for the price I paid. I called today to get some information about the course I had paid for and how to go about getting my permit from the DMV and the receptionist didnt know anything and kept insisting she register me for a class. I do not recommend this school at all. Your money is better spent elsewhere.

Can someone tell me how to get through to scheduling drives every Thursday at 4 when no one answer? But that’s all they can do?

I chose one star because of how unprofessional this place is. I started going to this place in late of January. The class itself was really good the teacher was really informative and nice. But when it came to behind the wheel is where it went wrong, I had scheduled for practice driving and every time I’d call the receptionists kept saying they’d call the next day and never did. I gave them numerous chances because I spent money on them and all I needed to do was do a few practice driving courses and then the exam and that’s all but the whole scheduling part for behind the wheel was a mess. They would take forever to get back to me and then whenever I wanted to schedule it on a certain day they’d have to wait for the instructors approval and that’d take more time and I would still never get a call back. I was ALWAYS calling them pretty much multiple times a week trying to see if I could get a practice driving course and I only got one around Valentine’s Day. The experience driving wasn’t that great. I was cooperative and following instructions but the instructor was very unprofessional. When we met up at the place he didn’t introduce himself at all whatsoever he just gave me the keys and said “ready to drive?”. When we got in the car he I had troubles reversing and I wasn’t used to driving a car so I was relying on him to help me because at the end of the day that’s what he’s there for. He kept playing with the radio, he kept calling people, and he didn’t seem super interested in helping me and had the audacity to ask me why I don’t drive. Like seriously? That’s a personal thing to ask. He wasn’t very engaging and I would try to make him talk and he would still be quiet. I felt like I was driving by myself at that point and I had to take mental notes on what I needed to work on because he wasn’t helping me at all really unless it’s for pulling out somewhere or teaching me how to break. He wasn’t really doing much. I also noticed he was checking the clock on the car a lot to see when I was done as if he was ready to leave already. My appointment felt really rushed and I hated that a lot. When we got out he said in a sarcastic tone “that was fun right?” And he left to go home . I tried scheduling another practice driving course while I was at the place and she said yet again I’d have to wait for her to call me back. That’s like their thing to say and then get mad that I wasn’t driving a lot because no one was helping me. They were extremely lazy and unprofessional there. Then after the drive there was a snow storm here so I waited a few days and after everything cleared up still no call. A week ago they called me saying that I had a drive again but no one informed me about that. I told her no one told me and she “apologized” and I said can I just reschedule instead and she said yet again she’d call me to see if anything was open. As you can see there’s a pattern of them being inconsistent. If you’re not an experienced driver you have to drive multiple times a week to get the hang of it but since there’s so many gaps of me not driving I already forgot what I “learned” the first time. So when I requested to see if I could get a refund the receptionist sounded offended as if I was doing it to troll around when I wasn’t. I used only a small portion of the money I gave to them when it came to the behind the wheel and I wanted the rest back so I can go somewhere else. She asked me why and I told her what happened and she said do you know who went with you and I said no and she told me to describe what he lookedlike but she said I couldn’t get a refund. It took up until we had to go up there in person to get a refund because they’re money grabbers there. They want money but not do the work to get there. When we requested for a refund again the instructor was lying on me and saying that I had multiple driving lessons when I didn’t there’s literally files that they keep and it shows how many lessons you have. He also offered free lessons instead of giving me the money.

I wasnt sure if paying for driving school would be worth the expense, but it was worth every single penny! Rick and his staff honored their end of the contract and beyond by extending our deadlines due to COVID-19. They are always extremely helpful and willing to work with me. I am impressed with how the level of safety precautions they have implemented as a result of the pandemic. West Texas Driving Academy was a smart investment for my teenager.

Really good place straight to business helped me with scheduling due to my situation ric and instructors understanding great place to get your stuff done.

The staff very nice and friendly I highly recommend this place.

Adrain was the best! Learned so much!

I initially had concerns regarding my daughter Jazmines driving tests, so Rick followed-up with me and was a true professional, he listened to me, he apologized for my stressful situation, he explained the process, and clarified his commitments to us as customers, then he offered a solution which absolutely worked-out for us .. a true community leader hands down and will definitely recommend his services 100% ..

Adrian is the best pokémon trainer ever!

Beware of this place I received an email this morning regarding a special they had for 1/2 off of tuition. I contacted office on Dyer and was told regular price was $300 so I thought itd be a bargain to pay $150 for the course. I contacted the Edgemere office and the lady was nice, however, she insisted regular price is $475. $475! Out of curiosity, I contacted different driving schools and the price range is from $285 to $300. How dishonest of this place to raise prices to get away with still making $25 more for the course than other places. Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere and warning my daughters friends parents about this place

Very willing to work with students and parents to get drives complete.

I am so thankful to the Edgemere location they were patient with my son helpful and considerate. Always with words of encouragement and very respectful. Thank you for all your support.

Our boys had a fantastic experience. They were all very confident in their knowledge of the driving rules. The school is very flexible and the staff is friendly.

I overheard something about an angry parent when i was at this location making payment. My son and daughter both recently finished their drivers ed courses (one in the summer, and recently) at the El Dorado location, and they were very happy with the in class instructor and the car driving instructors. They had a great time in class and were even bummed out when they were done stating He didnt make class as boring as some teachers at school I read the other reviews one as recent as today and dont understand these parents frustration. The owners are very caring and attentive, my daughter had scheduling problems because she is personally busy with being a senior in highschool and they helped her finish on time. I believe some parents dont understand that these kids are lazy sometimes and dont wanna do drives, but these kids are also nervous as we all were, but my kids had a great time! a message to parents-- Make sure your kids do their 7 drives in the alotted time given, but us parents also have to drive with them to fill the 30 hour log, the school is to help them figure out how to drive, we have to practice with them. As for the prices, i paid about 800 give or take for both of them, but it did come with in class instruction where they learned the details and dangers of driving, 2) the actual driving lessons 3) the driving test at the end that i was not offered at El Paso Driving academy. this school was perfect, we gotta do our part too though. As for prices, you get what you pay for.

Amazing school! Very helpful staff and informative. They also accommodate to your needs and schedule.

As a parent I had a concern with the quality of driving instructions my driver had received but the owner addressed my concerns with care. I appreciate that the owner heard my concerns and made appropriate adjustments to allow my driver a better driving experience.

Very smooth to work with as long as you complete all the requirements in a timely manner and practice practice practice. Knowledgeable staff and great communication 👍

I WOULD GIVE IT 0 STARS IF I COULD! Ms. Gomez is the WORST instructor ever!!!! Not only does my kid have anxiety to drive with her but she’s failed her TWICE!!!!!!!!! If our contract wasn’t so damn much we would have pulled my kid out of this awful place!!!!!! Spend your money elsewhere or fire Ms.Gomes

They supposedly dont schedule drives until 4:30, but you show up at 4:15 and are told there are no more open slots for drives. They only allow students to sign up for 1 drive a week and force students to do more than the required 7 drives required by the state . Its impossible to get anything done with these people.

Everyone here was extremely friendly and helpful. They provide a safe and fun learning environment.

Great school and really nice employees. My driving instructor really pushed me to be a safe and cautious driver!

I would definitely recommend this place. Great customer service!

They’re very informative, easy to work with, and they’re a lot nicer than the people at the DMV!

The person I spoke to on the phone was super nice and readily available with information

Great environment for drivers ed, staff is very helpful and informative!
