I had a great experience. The instructor doing my test gave very clear instructions and went over everything at the end of the test. Would recommend

Started my 3rd child here for drivers education today. They do a good job, are reasonably priced and meet all the same state mandated requirements that all drive schools have to meet. The tests, drives, and sessions are all bundled into a package for a single price. With convenient times and locations Id recommend them to anyone looking for a drive school.

This place is a joke. Dont go there if you want your license you will never get it. They will fail you for the stupidest reason so you have to keep paying them to do it over.

The online classes were great and informative, the driving instructor was amazing. The examiner named vickie for the skills test was rude, condescending, unprofessional, and after the drive test when I was reaching for the key to shut off the car she lunged over and ripped the keys out of my hand.

I didnt like how they test. I did the skill test and the lady with me told me than i passed a red light but i didnt. It turned red after i was driving and she said than she couldnt test more because just with that mistake i didnt pass and she couldnt recommend or suggest anything else just more practice.

Puyallup location are very rude. You can call all day and not get an answer. You call from outside and clearly see the woman at desk ignoring the call. Too much $ 4 anonline class with no recordings to re-review. Spanaway location is unused, have to travel to puyallup.

Instructors are rude, discouraging & snooty. Don’t take your schooling here ! You will fail and they will try to continuously rip you off. They act as if their time is more important then yours & are just straight up mean. I wish I could give a 0 star.

I chose the Spanaway Location for my daughter and decided to pay extra because it was so close to home. Not once but twice did they change locations on me. It’s a nope from me.

Omg, my instructor was Karen (a blonde older woman) and she not understanding at all. I came a few minutes late due to location confusion. and when I get there and I apologize to her for coming a bit late and she looks at me and walks away. She made me feel like I didn’t know anything. DO NOT COME HERE PLEASE! you will fail

I can understand putting drives off because of COVID and prioritizing students in classes before the shutdown. I understand not getting to start the educational course until May when the course should have started in April. I do NOT understand waiting a month and a half to schedule A FIRST practice drive! I finished my course late June. TWICE Ive been told someone will call me to set up a drive, and nothing has happened!! At this point, if i dont get something scheduled by Monday Im asking for my money back!

Class schedule and location were great, but when my daughter took her test the lady was so rude and almost made her cry before the drive even started. At the end she said she was gonna pass her but it was a collision waiting to happen. Who says that? Won’t be taking any of my other children back here or recommending to anyone I know.

DO NOT GO HERE the lady that did my drive test (Vicky I believe)was so sexist and told me before we even left that most girls never pass so “let’s see if I’m lucky”. She talked in a very discouraging voice and sighed at everything I did. I was at a red light and stopped a little before the line at first so I moved up slowly a tiny bit to be at the line and she slammed on the break and yelled at me asking what I’m doing, this was about 4 minutes in, right after that she said “well obviously you failed, we’re going back now. So unprofessional. Would give a 0 if I could

I really liked the online class and my instructor for all of my drives, but when it came to the test the examiner was super unprofessional and sighed every time I did anything. We then talked to her about it over the phone and she claimed I was being “overdramatic”. The next time I took the test I got Ms. My-lan and she was very professional and let me know exactly what she’s looking for, which defiantly calmed my nerves and I ended up passing.

I actually prefer this driving just because it is close by and has really great instructors. Even though during my classes I switched between teachers (due to staff management) I still had really great time.- curbalicous.

Really disappointed in this place. They do not answer either phone number listed. Left a message over a week ago, still no return call. The test administrator was a jerk (I noticed this as well). And my son told me that he was rude to everyone but a cute young girl!I would not bring your child here!

So, my daughter is a teen driver, I’ve driven with her at least once a week for the 6 months they have to have their permit for and she’s done an amazing job but she failed her driving test here because when she did the “SMOG” she didn’t look over her shoulder far enough and she wasn’t signaling correctly. The following week I took her to the 9-1-1 in graham and she passed with a 100% and they kept congratulating her. Don’t take your child here just because it cheaper, you pay what you get. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 9-1-1 driving school.

Very unprofessional, The driving instructors are horrible! I have no idea how they’re certified instructors. I won’t be coming back. I recommend that you don’t bring your child here, yes it’s cheaper but not worth it! 911 driving school is way better than this place.

I am so frustrated with this driving school right now. My child told me during her driving test the instructor (Vicky I’m pretty sure, she’s old with blond hair) was laughing with the driver of another car because she didn’t fully stop at the stop sign. Then she let her complete her drive for whatever reason even though that’s an automatic fail! I’m going to get my money back for the drive these people are Shady! I should have gone with my gut and done 911

Ive been going to this place to take my written test a lot of times. All the time, I failed. I will miss by1 or 2. Its really disappointing as its been 2 yrs now. Its very discouraging at the same time. I didnt take any classes, I am an adult student and I have work commitments etc. Coming from a country where we dont have to depend on riding or owing cars that much, I did put on a lot of effort and soldiered on. I studied on my own and took a lot of online practice test and even downloaded apps to help me study. Ive also read the handbook. The test questions was so different from my online test practice/study. It throws you off with questions that you never come across but most time, instinctively you know what it means. Anyway on last test there (last wk), I realized it was questions from 2017 batch and Ive been studying the 2019. I already spent $250 just for the written test, so can somebody please tell me if theres something wrong with this place??

If you want to pass your driving test You better go somewhere else, rude driving instructor, he makes my daughter cry, and also you have to do driving test on their company car, which is so stressful for new drivers

The instructors are friendly and pretty nice overall. Theyre helpful, and its a great testing location. My experiences with customer service have been good. Honestly, as long youre polite and have common sense, itll be a good experience when talking to the employees there.

Review №24

This place is so unprofessional! I do not recommend taking your kids here. First off they keep advertising to get this dol book that has everything you need for the written test, that’s absolutely false, I read that whole book and still managed to fail. I ended up passing the 2nd time from a quizlet that has all the questions and answers.

Review №25

I had my written test here recently, and Ive been driving for 17 years. I studied and did online practice tests. I didnt recognize many of the questions...And they threw me for a loop! I did pass, but it was really annoying. And they wouldnt tell me which ones I got wrong, and what the correct answers were, even though I passed. Why wouldnt they want me to know what I missed!? Dont I need to know this info to drive safely? She mentioned I could go and tell someone the correct answer if she told me...I think that would be a GOOD thing...so that they can remember the right answer...thats what studying is isnt it? Reading the material, memorizing the right info, and then regurgitating it back onto paper?? They cycle the different tests so you never take the same test twice, so what would it matter, after passing, to let me know what I should have known...?My second issue is the no return policy for the driving test. I paid 45 bucks, and I have medical issues that keep my bedridden a lot, so the day of my test I was unfit to drive. I had called the day before to cancel, and I didnt realize that kept all the money. I dont want to schedule another drive now...I cant afford to pay 45 bucks if Im incapable again...I understand they dont want their time wasted, but there should be some leniency for people with disabilities.Also I never get a call back when I leave a message, and they rarely answer the phone.

This is a great school to, obviously, learn how to drive. Really easy and fun. A big shout out to Josh. Hope that the future students have as great an experience as I did.

Worst Customer Service. Cancelled a drive test for my daughter to get her license at 5:30 the night before. Devastating a teenagers dream. Then I called and Christina was extremely rude on the phone. They dont care how they treat customers. 911 driving school may be more money but way worth it. My son had no issues at 911 driving school and excellent customer service.

Customer service was friendly and helpful. Test instructor, on the other hand, was unaccommodating and cantankerous. He arbitrarily refused to use patrons cars, which caused unnecessary anxiety testing in an unfamiliar car, and significantly impacted the tests outcome.Skip it, and go to 911 instead. Theyre cheaper, too.
