Mountain States Driver's Education Inc.

Fantastic experience: Gina was the perfect instructor for my daughter. She was encouraging, thorough, and kind. Our whole experience with Mountain States has been incredibly positive!

Negative experience: I had an extremely negative experience with Connie at Mountain States Drivers Education in Loveland, CO. From the moment I walked into the office, she was rude and unprofessional. At one point, she scoffed and audibly muttered “JESUS” under her breath, which I found offensive and disrespectful. She also snapped at me to take a seat while I was waiting for assistance. To make matters worse, when I later tried to address my concerns over the phone, Connie hung up on me multiple times. When I attempted to call back, she refused to answer my calls, forcing me to reach out to another office for help. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, especially in a business that serves the public. I was left feeling dismissed and disrespected, and I would strongly caution others against using this location based on my experience.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with the program Gina, is an awesome instructor with a lot of advice and knowledge highly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had Gina for her driving instructor and loved her lessons with her. She was so kind and patient, and informative. Thank you Gina for making it such a positive experience and for making her a better driver!

Fantastic experience: I took my drivers test here and it was a very positive experience. Expect that your test might be delayed. My test was about 15 mins late because of the previous test getting held up which is nobody's fault. Mike was very very nice and made me feel less nervous about the test. He gave clear instructions and afterwards thoroughly explained my results, errors etc. It is clear that he knows what he is doing. The testing car is kind of janky and jolty, which is again not the fault of anyone and other than that I had a great experience here.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driver’s ed with Gina Miller, and I can’t recommend her enough! She was an amazing instructor who made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Gina's calm demeanor put me at ease right from our first lesson. She was attentive and respectful, always making sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel. Her clear instructions and patient approach helped me build confidence in my driving skills. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful for her guidance!

Fantastic experience: Gina Was the nicest drivers instructor i met, i started off really nervous but she gave me a lot of confidence, she’s really nice to talk to and i felt really comfortable driving with her!

Negative experience: The associate working the desk in the office was awful. Rude, rude, rude.

Negative experience: Nobody there to answer the phones if you need to call them at any location, buy a lesson for your child up front and they dont tell you they are booked out for weeks, no customer service. Look elsewhere to get help for your child. If you do get to book a lesson, you will be driving to several different locations all over to try and find an opening which are weeks out. 0 stars if I could. Expensive and zero professionism. They are booked out because it is something people have to have.

Negative experience: My wife came home crying because her instructor was rude straight off the bat and from what I can tell was purposely intimidating I don't recommend this place and I really don't recommend the instructor by the name of Anthony. If you are going to do a test here I highly suggest specifically asking for anyone but Anthony. He started off rude ended rude and marked her down for going 30mph in a school zone that did not have the school zone lights flashing because it was 5pm. The speed limit in that zone is 30mph when school zone is not flashing. Doing 20mph in a 30mph zone when the school lights aren't flashing is dangerous. The driving instructor Anthony needs to go back to driving school himself if he thinks it is safe to do 10mph under the speed limit out side of school hours. Do not go here if you live in loveland go to any of the neighboring towns and you will have a better more respectful experience And do NOT TRY AND SAY THE SCHOOL ZONE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING!! I WAS THERE FOLLOWING. the lights were not on and she was doing the speed limit. If she was going slower it would be more dangerous!

Negative experience: If you are an adult don't use them. Children welcome.

Negative experience: Notice this place has many bad reviews, other review places show an 11% approval rating. Each negative review has excuses and deflection from the company. Believe the bad reviews and find someplace else. They only want your money and will tell you whatever they can to insist you are doing something wrong. From start to finish, this place has been a headache with little to no customer service. We regret bringing our money here and mostly felt the classes were not worth the time, let alone the money. If you have the time and patience to teach your teen to drive, don't bother with this place and find another place for the exam. These people are delusional.

Fantastic experience: Great for adult drivers test! Real straightforward process and fair test. Availability is limited so expect to have to go during the workday.

Negative experience: This place is a scam my wife had to do a driving test and we originally scheduled here but then found somewhere cheaper and cancelled her driving test three days before it was scheduled but am being told they don't do refunds when their dam emails say they refund as long as it's not the day of the test. Getting ready to involve the police and fox 31. The lady that answered sa

Fantastic experience: My daughter loved the environment and her teacher Lisa! 10/10 recommendation coming to mountain states!

Fantastic experience: My teacher Lisa was very kind and i learned a lot from her she is the best teacher and taught us really well. love her.

Fantastic experience: I took my drivers test here and Mike was really wonderful! He made me feel comfortable and at ease even in an unfamiliar car. I will definitely be recommending this driving school.

Fantastic experience: it was a great experience and i felt like i learned everything i needed to. thank you mountain states LOVELAND for giving me a great experience!

Fantastic experience: All the teachers are awesome and are not boring. I liked their teaching styles and that they made the class entertaining!

Negative experience: Major waste of $80. Had never taken a test or classes in Colorado and the communication was sub par at best. No idea that if I failed there was no more chances and would lose my $80. Arthur was hasty with me at the start, and pushed me out of my good vibe when he robotically told me how to go test the car to be ready. Then in my rushed feeling test, I was docked for steering wheel positioning, tight/wide turns, and pace of lane switching - and subsequently failed - I don't think I would have failed in a normal setting, given 10,000 hours of driving experience, even in semis and large trucks... Other customers apparently have had some issues as well, but I would have been okay with better questions and intro. This poor driving test fal experience would not have happened had I not felt a unexpected sudden nervousness due to the drivers hasty, overwhelming attitude. If you want to just take your test, don't go here. At least he handed me off to Mike to review my driving and give me a "free" opportunity to practice, but after we reviewing what I did wrong, I realized I deserved better communication or another test on the house. I tried calling in, but after a call back was told the owner was too busy to discuss the matter. I would not recommend this company due to poor communication. I'll never use this company again, but hope they improve their service. Even though they wouldn't help me out given the timing, to the point that would have left me stranded from getting my license before traveling, I found a driver school in Longmont that had immediate availability. They also advertise a calm and comfortable experience, which is what I was expecting the first time, I suppose... The environment and test was hectic, leaving lots of room for improvement for a professional drivers test experience. As an SEO specialist I would emphasize they need better driver school competition in the area... Perhaps another local business can pick up the slack.

Negative experience: We showed up yesterday for my child’s driving lesson. We were nonchalantly told that the appointment was cancelled because the driver quit and that they left us a message. My reply was I never received a message. We discover that the voicemail was left on my 14 year olds nonexistent voicemail. Then we were told we can come back in 6 weeks. There was no apology, no care whatsoever. I pulled my child out of school, left work early and all they could do was look at me like “oh well”. I told the lady I was very upset and she replied that “I could leave and reschedule later”. Worst customer service ever! If we were to have missed our appointment we would have been charged a fee. They did not try to email me or call my correct phone number. They should have tried a little harder to reach me. We arranged our day around this appointment. The lady could care less how inconvenienced we were. If I were to have messed up one of my clients appointments I would have said sorry first of all! Second, I would have made sure to get the client back in asap.

Positive experience: I recommend this drivers education class, the class is a fun environment to be in, you get 10 minute breaks every hour and my instructor Rodney made the class a fun learning environment

Positive experience: I am a student at this school and have passed most of my quizzes with a 100 or 90%. The teachers were respectful and very informational teachers. I would recommend going to this school to learn to drive and get educated on driving. They are fair on breaks and they give 10 minute breaks every hour. Rodney was my teacher and was very educated and helpful.

Positive experience: it was and overall a good experience kinda boring but pretty informative and rodney was a lit teacher

Fantastic experience: This educational experience is a success for future generations that are our hope for the future. I like pizza.

Positive experience: It was a little boring but helpful and informative and all the people where cool and friendly

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor! Made my daughter feel confident and comfortable.

Negative experience: You can't even get ahold of these people to schedule an appointment. Can you please pick up the phone

Negative experience: Do not book here if you actually want your child to learn to drive. I would recommend that you run, not walk to another driving school or you will likely spend your future walking since your license will be revoked. Let me count the things wrong with this place. 1. The receptionist, Connie, is a miserable, rude and unhelpful person. She needs to learn some customer service skills. 2. My son signed up for online classes. You need to also complete a paper workbook. Despite the high cost of the class, the workbook is provided as a copy of a copy of a copy(you get the picture) that is poor quality and the diagrams are hard to read. 3. When it came time to schedule your driving hours, good luck. Connie was rude yet again and very difficult to get in touch with. 4.Their systems/practices are old school. Their customers would benefit from appointment confirmations via text or email with all pertinent details, especially since they have multiple locations and some appointments require you to bring certain documents. The process is cumbersome and the people are rude. 5. Lastly, the driving hours were a joke. They spent time at every appointment taking the instructor for fast food or coffee. They didn’t even pay attention when my son was driving and instead just told him some things that the test would require him to do. You are supposed to do in town, highway and mountain. Loveland to Fort Collins doesn’t seem like enough highway time for a 2 hour appointment and my son never went on a mountain road. 6. Most critically, the person that answers the phone, Connie, is so rude and unhelpful that she will make you want to pull your hair out. 0 out of 10 stars - Do Not Recommend!

Positive experience: Instructor was very fun and helpful all throughout my lessons. I went in thinking it was going to be very boring, but the instructor made drivers ed a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I learned a lot and I’m excited to drive.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience and the teacher was so kind

Fantastic experience: The classes were really informative and I learned a lot. I definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: All the teachers and instructors were very nice and helpful. The classes were long but fun

Negative experience: Had me book multiple lessons on the phone without telling me they were non-refundable. Overall not a great experience and would not use them (also used another company in Longmont that was a much better experience)

Negative experience: THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE ! Having to retake my drivers' test and providing all correct DMV documentation requirements is stressful enough!! The employees of this driving school were awful, rude and completing judgmental about my situation not only on the phone but in person too. Instead of assuming about a person and their information, maybe asking the customer questions to get the information's they need would be appreciated. I think businesses like this only stay in business' because its a requirement for some public citizens. This does not give anymore the right to be disrespectful. I will not be taking my teenage son here for his driving tests. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Negative experience: The testing agent (the owner) was very condescending and unprofessional. He talked down to my daughter making her feel stupid before the test began. He didn’t have a neutral demeanor and interfered with the test by inserting negative comments. He should have simply indicated what he wanted her to do without feedback or comment until after the test was over. Throughout the test he was confusing with his directions and would grab the steering wheel whenever he saw fit. A failed test is a reflection of their teaching system. If the driving test agent is going to be mean during the test, they should prepare their students for that during their lessons.

Negative experience: The driving tests are a joke! $80 a pop and don’t think you’ll pass the first time, they’ll make sure of that! STAY AWAY!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a really bad experience with an instructor named teresa at the longmont location, so coming here was quite a relief. Mike was my instructor and he made me feel so comfortable and treated me with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this location if you’d like your driver to actually treat you like a human being.

Positive experience: I wouldn't wanna go anywhere else to learn this stuff. You don't think of how much stuff there is to know about driving untill you learn about it.

Positive experience: I really liked how the class is taught i learn a lot and well, the one think you can do better is more interactive things which helps me learn more, i would recommend this to people

Positive experience: Was very repetitive, while my instructor was a little strict on the phone policy. I learned what I needed and pleased with my results.

Positive experience: The staffing was good and I learned a lot. But it is absolutely freezing, even thought they said it was going to be hot in the room.

Positive experience: Very good and sometimes enjoyable classes. Can seem long but there is many breaks in between. Teacher was very informative and gave us just the right amount of information.

Positive experience: Pretty Good school taught Everything needed to know to pass permit test and a lot of great advice for when you take your drivers test this class answered a lot of my questions i had about the prices of how drivers ed works and about driving it’s long hours in the same room but it goes by fast.

Positive experience: it is a pretty good class you learn everything you need to know and they are very friendly. it’s an easy class and they make sure you do good and they give good advice on how to be a safe driver. so i would say that it is worth it.

Fantastic experience: Great class with great people. Mr. Daniels is a SPECTACULAR teacher and person. The class was so much fun and I learned so much. Thank you mountian states!

Fantastic experience: The class was very educational and fun to learn, even with the long hours the instructor provided as many breaks as possible.

Negative experience: They have a training worker scheduled your appointments she doesn’t have the right information on there policy's so she will go ahead and schedule you an appointment with a deposit just for when you want the service you paid for they refuse to give it to you bc there training worker didnt know what she was talking about!

Positive experience: Great class because I took it and their a teacher named Theresa and she is chill. PS it will be long and boring but still some what fun

Positive experience: It was a class that taught exactly what it was supposed to I don't have any other driving school to compare but there seems to be a curriculum that all driving schools must follow so if this place is close then go for it but if there's a closer school then there's no need to drive farther they did do a tire replacement but they didn't use a torque wrench and said that you just had to tighten the lug nuts until it seemed right this is somewhat reckless and makes your car a danger to the road because if you do not tighten the lug nuts enough you loose a tire and if you tighten the lug nuts to much it could damage the threading I asked why they didn't use a torque wrench and the instructor said it was expensive but I did some research and non electric torque wrenches were around 25-17 dollars you do need another part called a torque wrench socket but you can get a pack of these that will have enough versatility for you to not need to buy something like This for as long as you'll be driving a car and you can search up the weight you need for your model of car learn how to use a torque wrench and it makes it significantly safer tires and cars are more expensive then 50 dollars I change my parents car tires every winter and summer when i need to switch the tires from winter to summer tires so I feel like I'd be able to give a bit of advice

Fantastic experience: It was very fun and they teacher was nice and respectful to everyone

Positive experience: It was a helpful teaching but when you get up at 7 in the morning its hard to stay awake for all 8 hours.

Negative experience: i went in to take a test today and off the bat the place smelt horrid. the owner was very rude throughout my whole test and threatened to post my results online. if you take ur license test here be prepared for bad costumer service from the owner, rude remarks, and threats!

Positive experience: I liked the way the teacher showed us videos. But I think maybe they could show us videos on how to actually go through intersections, two left turns, etc. They should show us examples of how to avoid accidents or how to handle bad weather.

Positive experience: the class is informative and useful however the chairs suck! The candy is also a plus :)

Fantastic experience: There were a few technical issues the first day, but the teacher has been very kind and accommodating so far, I've learned alot :0]

Positive experience: This driving school has been overall very good! We get brakes and participate in interactive activities making me more engaged.

Positive experience: it’s a good class and has a lot of information but most of it is watching old driving videos

Fantastic experience: Driving class is really great. Instructors are amazing. Really enjoyed time spent there.

Fantastic experience: The gentleman that drove with my daughter was fantastic. However, stay away from the female. Harsh, not nice, made her very uncomfortable. ALWAYS see the gentleman!!!

Negative experience: If you are a person of color I highly recommend you avoid this place. The instructors are very unprofessional, demeaning, rude, and flat out inappropriate. I have had many friends kids who are of ethnic background and all failed for various reasons that don't make sense. For example not parking in the same place as when they left the facility. We get it you don't like people of color. On the other hand my friends who kids happen to be white have no issue and the instructor does a 180 in his personality. Please if you can boycott this place and seek a driving test else where

Fantastic experience: I just recently took a class here to get my license and it was very helpful, I feel prepared to take my test now.

Fantastic experience: I attended this schools drivers ed class and I really enjoyed it. When you see your parent driving, you don’t think about how much there is to learn for driving but there is so much you can learn and so much that you need to pay attention to. I definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: It’s been such a great class to be in even when we were crammed Mr.Knight found a way to make it not so crammed. Everyone is just so positive and the class is very informative. Id recommend it to anyone who is looking for classes.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers and front desk. Even though it was a little crowded would still recommend to anyone looking to get their permit or do a test. 10/10 experience Mr.Knight made class a fun time to be In.

Fantastic experience: such a great experience. the teacher keeps such a good positive attitude, and keeps it a safe fun environment. 10/10 classroom. i recommend for everyone and their kids

Fantastic experience: Mr.Knight has been one of my favorite teachers. He’s an amazing teacher and explains everything in a way that everyone understands.

Fantastic experience: Mountain States Driver's Education is run by a group of skillful and friendly driving instructors. They teach new drivers the fundamentals of road safety and also test driving competency for those with driving permits from DMV. I was at Mountain States Driver’s Education for a road driving test and met with courteous professionals. One will need to make an appointment by phone or on their website to have a time for the test in any of their locations in Loveland, Fort Collins, Windsor or other locations in CO. Their office in Loveland is easily accessible and has a good ambience for one in their industry. I had a good experience doing my road test with them. They run a good fleet of cars and also allow for the option of drivers testing with their personal cars so long as they meet all the requirements. It snowed somewhat heavily during my test and I was pleasantly surprised that one of their managers was so kind to help scrap snow off my windshield and windows. I recommend them for anyone seeking to have a road test.

Positive experience: The classes are great but get boring sometimes but overall a great place to take drivers ed.

Positive experience: The teacher was understanding and seemed to want to teach the class. The course was thought through and educating. There wasn’t any lacking.

Fantastic experience: The teacher from Mountain States was very helpful in teaching myself and my family about driving safely and well! All of the staff was kind and helpful and made it a smooth going experience! I would definitely recommend taking their classes!

Fantastic experience: Great class. They give you important information that you will need and they explain it well. It is very helpful.

Positive experience: It was a class, I learned what I needed too and they weren’t here to entertain us, with that said I didn’t enjoy most of it but was happy to note the hands on work that we had done including changing a tire and getting into the car to actually see what’s going on.

Positive experience: You are learning what you need to pass your test. Places for food are close and convenient. Be prepared for a super cold classroom.

Negative experience: I came into get information since I was close by. The front desk receptionist was on the phone with I am assuming her husband, didn't acknowledge I was waiting until a instructor walked in. She ended her call sat back in her chair with her hands folded and said what can I help you with!? With attitude. I said hi yes just wanted to get driver ed information for my children, she said well what kind of information? Not friendly at all! I have been here before and got wonderful service. I needed 3 of my children to take classes and im pretty bummed that I didn't get what I wanted to ask. I have been on the web site and seen prices. I had a friend bring her child here and I just wanted some questions answered to give me a peace of mind. After the experience I had I will not come back or recommend any of my friend's or family. I live right behind this place and if anyone starts talking about looking for driver education place to take their kids, I have always said bring them here just from the last experience I had she was wonderful! But now I wouldn't want them experiencing that.

Positive experience: The class can be very boring at times, but for it’s purpose it is a very good and valuable experience to have.

Positive experience: Good place. Gave us plenty of information about cars and the rules of the road. Instructors were nice and gave us plenty of study sources. The classes can get boring though and they take up a lot of the day. But, this place is nice and I would recommend it.

Positive experience: The drivers education is pretty good. They showed us how to change tires, what caps were what under the hood, the necessities to have in your car, and they showed us videos and had us do tests on them, so we could learn.

Negative experience: Just watched one of the driving instructors blow through a stop sign. Right next to their office too. When I pulled up to ask why he just blew through the stop sign he was too busy doing paperwork in the driver's seat to even notice I was talking to him. And these are the people that "teach" your kids how to drive or pass/fail them for the very same things they do probably on the daily.

Fantastic experience: My instructor is very clear and easy to listen to. I am very grateful for the amount of information given and I am excited to get on the road feeling ready and prepared.

Fantastic experience: Everything that is needed to be learned about driving gets cover very well and gets covered fast. The class is easy to stay focused with and is very helpful.

Fantastic experience: They have very nice instructors and allow us to take a 5 minute break every hour. They also give us the privilege to eat at nearby restaurant’s

Fantastic experience: For being a short 32 hour class the pacing is very good, not too much or too little information to be learning each unit. The teacher teaches well and also knows how to have fun using things like kahoot to review for tests. Good class

Fantastic experience: I found this class absolutely amazing and it’s a great way to get your permit quickly. My instructor Mindy was amazing and she knew the answers to any questions we asked. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: The teacher was really sweet and everyone was nice, it was really long but u can’t really avoid that so as far as drivers ed goes this one was really good!

Fantastic experience: Very cool and friendly place. Our instructor made a fun way for us to learn and we learned so much in one day. I reccomended this place to a friend because it's a learning style they'd like. This is a good place to go

Positive experience: Very good community, the classes are quite long while you are just sitting their but the teachers make it fun!

Negative experience: Large, short lady was my intended instructor, very rude, unprofessional and told me my broad form insurance card wouldn’t work. I had already been cleared by the nice fellow at the front desk with the same insurance card.She was 20 minutes late. I brought up my full policy online and she said that would work but that I was too much into my time and would have to reschedule for the next day even though the very nice man with the next appointment volunteered to give me his slot. I was so mad I told them to give me my 60.00 cash back and it would be a cold day in hell when I ever needed their services again!

Negative experience: They were very kind but had difficulty understanding out-of-state paperwork and were not timely or clear in communicating whether or not they were willing to test. If your driver has an out of state permit - I highly recommend going through a different school or use the DMV.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are very fun and make things practical. I had Bruce on my first day, and Mindy the last three, and they both made the class fun and the information was easy to retain. I would definitely recommend it to others!

Fantastic experience: This class was fun and the teacher made it fun. Even the sub was fantastic. Before I came to the class I thought I would be bored and not have fun. But thankfully I was wrong. I also learned a lot from this class and glad I took it.

Fantastic experience: This drivers ed course is amazing!! Coming into drivers ed i thought it would be hard but the teacher's here are amazing they make learning to drive more fun than stressful. Kids need more teachers like them. Big thanks to Mindy for making drivers ed fun!!!

Positive experience: I would rate this class at four stars. The class taught me almost everything I need for driving in the real world. I would highly recommend Mountain States Loveland location for drivers ed.

Positive experience: I enjoyed my time at mountain state, my instructor was Mindy and she was great! My only complaint is that it is hard to learn about the same topic for an 8 hour day 4 days in a row. Also, the class room is VERY cold. But overall great experience

Fantastic experience: Good classroom and teachings, friendly staff, comfy chairs. Huge thanks to Mindy for bringing us donuts, real pick-me-up. I loved the place, and I definitely will recommend it to other people.

Positive experience: I really liked the class and everyone in it was really nice. My instructor Mindy was very kind and made driving seem easy, we also get to learn how to change a tire which is very practical. The only thing is the tables were really crowded and it was hard to get out, but other than that it was a really great class!

Negative experience: We pulled in so my child could take the driving test and I watched with my own eyes another kid taking their test who pulled into the parking lot with the man who gives the test. The kids hits and drives up on the curve with the back tire yet passes the test. My child goes on her test and comes back and the man fails her because she didn't move her head upwards to look out of the mirror, she just kept get head still but moved her eyes. Then they tell us we have to pay again to retake it. Lesson learned: hit and run up on the curve...pass, look in your mirrors but don't move your head...fail. The only reason I have 2 stars is because the lady in there was very kind.

Positive experience: My daughter has learned so much in this class. From what she has shared with me, the class is very comprehensive. She did say that the classroom is cool so bring a jacket. Would recommend to others to give your kiddos a great start driving.

Positive experience: I learned a lot of new stuff and I loved the breaks we got every hour. The setup for teaching and learning is not very well designed, I had to constantly change positions in my chair to see the instructor and the screens. There was also not a lot of room In between chairs and tables.

Positive experience: This is a great place to learn the basics of driving safely as well as some of the many rules and regulations of the road. I enjoyed the class and it made me realize that many of the things that we see people do while driving are neither safe nor legal. I am very glad that we learned defensive driving and I feel as though this will be a very useful thing out on the road. One thing that I did not like about this class was the orientation of the tables. The tables are positioned so that you must turn your head all day to be able to see what the instructor is doing. If they simply rotated them ninety degrees, the problem would be solved. However, this was a minor inconvenience in a relatively enjoyable and useful class. Four stars.
