Don't waste your time, energy and...
If I could - I would give this driving school 0 stars.
When I initially contacted the school asking about only in-car driving packages, everything was fine and I was given the $170 package for 5 lessons + car for test. So I chose that.
First lesson, the instructor calls me at the exact time the lesson was supposed to start and tells me he is leaving his house and to give him directions to my place - we were going back and forth for 20 mins as he couldn't find my address - then I had to walk over to the mall down the street and just meet him there. He told me we are going to have 2 lessons today not the one I originally thought. The entire lesson, this man keeps touching the steering wheel and will not let me park on my own. I may not be an experienced driver but I really didn't think any of my moves merited his hand on the wheel and taking over my parking job. I could honestly say that lesson was a write off as I did not get a chance to practice my parking once in this 2 lesson slot.
Second lesson, I get a text 10 mins after our lesson was supposed to start letting me know that he has car trouble and can't make it, will keep me posted and 'thank you for understanding'.. I waited all day to hear something, anything.. and just gave up and called the school to get my money for the unused portion of my payment.
The receptionist reassures me that she will talk to the driver and get back to me. Instead, I get a few nasty texts from the driver to call him if I want to see my money again. So I call him and arrange to have it dropped off.. of course it wasn't that easy. He shows up and is arguing with me, talking over me and proceeds to tell me he showed up twice at my house and kept knocking loudly on my door and I didn't answer - to which I responded that I did tell him at time of booking that I work night shift and sleep during the day.. again, the rude loud talking over my voice telling me he didn't know.
Don't waste your time with this school. Once you pay, you are not a priority... you will not get sufficient practice and be stuck with this man that has trouble showing up for appointments, keeps taking the wheel, and talks on his cell a lot during lessons.
