Difficult to Work With

by goldbar at Citysearch

I paid almost $600 dollars for my son to learn to drive. They cancelled the location we had chosen at the last minute and said they would automatically sign him up for the next session. I waited almost two months and then they cancelled again without informing me. I tried calling and got some giggly teenager and told them I wanted to be contacted by the owner, who never called me, but cashed my check and still has not contacted me about a make-up class. I ready for small claims court.

No drive time

The parents are told that we "may not" be able to schedule all 5 mandatory drives before the class instruction period is over, but that we have a few months to finish the drives.

However, we are almost done with our courses and have not even had ONE drive. I'm not sure how my son is supposed to relate the drives to the instruction by the time he gets to take drives.

You can't schedule each drive until after the kid has passed each corresponding test. So there's no way to schedule ahead of time either.

Our family wants our $559 back. It would have been faster to go to the school district.

• Pros: Class instruction is good
• Cons: No time to schedule drives

Classes good, scheduling is ridiculous

by babycat45 at Citysearch

Perfectly adequate as far as the classroom instruction goes, but try to schedule one of the 10 hours of required driving/observation time! Impossible. They are booked up many weeks ahead. Apparently, they pack their classes with students, and don't have enough instructors to take students out on drives.

• Pros: Lots of class times available
• Cons: Hard to schedule drives
