Fantastic experience: I took the 5hr course and it was amazing i took it with another school before and it was not as detailed as Mr. Griffiths class i learned so much more thank you
Fantastic experience: Had Bruce as my instructor, very calm and experienced instructor. I like him
Negative experience: Giving two because the instructors are nice. For the company? 0. I cancelled a 2-hr driving lesson 24 hours in advance due to a funeral being held during those hours (I didn’t have notice). I was bombarded with messages because no one informed the driving instructor not to show up. Furthermore, they refuse to reschedule or refund and have not answered one email. There are plenty other companies in the area that will communicate and treat you with respect. Go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Customer Service was great, we were locked out of the session and we were allowed to reschedule, as a courtesy, for the next session that we are available for. The lady on the phone was very nice and was able to assist without hesitation. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Awesome service! I did my 5 hour course and my road test with them, instructor JOE was so helpful, respectful and patient, he will give you all the tips for your road test and if you follow the advices you will pass on your first try like I did! I will totally recommend them!
