Alert Driving School NW: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent services
Fantastic experience: It’s good school i’m very happy I take a license from here. It’s very good. I am very very happy
Fantastic experience: Great place to get ur Lerner permit and driving lessons
Fantastic experience: My daughter had an incredible experience here between her in class learning and her behind the wheel lessons. Her driving instructor was patient and friendly and she cannot say enough good things. Of special note is that my kiddo has autism and was connected with this school because of their experience working with kids who are not traditional driving students. Again, fantastic experience. Clear communication, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Bronch was an excellent instructor. Kyle passed the driver’s test on the first try. My son has autism, but it was never impossible because Decisive Driving School was very efficient at teaching children with special needs. Highly recommended!
Negative experience: Every time I’ve came or called this location nobody was available. Me and my father went to the location after being told we needed to bring documents after being told it was in the system. As we were asking questions she said we only needed one thing which was not true. We had to waste more gas and time just for the young lady named Karen at the front desk to be beyond rude when answering us. If you decide to do the drivers schooling go to the mustang location because the experience here is far from worth it.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Alert Driving School to anyone looking to learn how to drive or improve their skills. Thank you, Silvia and Alert Driving School, for a fantastic experience!
Fantastic experience: Test was easy classes were easy good teachers
Negative experience: They slow play! And Mr.Taylor is a bad instructor! He does to much I’m just trying to learn the basics and where I need to focus on but he’s worried about other things!
Hello Liam. We can't find "Liam Gal" in our student records and we don't have an instructor named Mr. Taylor. Would you please contact us and let us know how we can help?
Fantastic experience: I learned so much & gained my license, My Driver was extremely helpful!
Negative experience: Probably one of the worst places you could take your kids even adults! They don't actually pay attention when you drive, they sign off on ANYBODY! It's just a money game.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, understanding, and overall the best driving school for everyone.
Fantastic experience: I took the classes and really liked it The teachers are available to answer questions
Fantastic experience: Props to my driving instructors—for my first two drives, I had Riley as my instructor, while I had Alex for my third. They were both understanding, patient, and informative, as I learned many new driving techniques and tips from them.
Negative experience: 150$ if you cant show up also wont let u cancel
Fantastic experience: Shoutout to Brad my examiner , he was very patient and understanding. He also gave very helpful tips and clear instructions.
Negative experience: They showed up late there were 2 persons in the car??
Fantastic experience: Perfect encounter with my tutor. Very welcome and made sure I was comfortable while taking my test
Thank you!!
Negative experience: I did not get all of the driving time I paid for!! They picked her up late and dropped her off early each time. And now, she still has very little confidence. Also, they do not teach them what they need to know for the written exam. They do not teach their students parallel parking, let alone how to pull into a parking spot and back out. I am not satisfied at all.
Hi Carmella. Thank you for your note. Our standard is to teach all of the things you listed and to give every student the benefit of *all* their driving time. We are hoping to speak with you in directly and ask how we can address your concerns, but we can't find you as a parent in our customer database based on the name "Carmella." Please do reach out to us with your phone number and a good time to call at [email protected] We very much look forward to speaking with you!
Negative experience: Ok so I have 3 family member who went here everything was good till COVID started . I happen to get my first driving class went amazing . Second time also great but then I got sla appointment in the Yukon when I dmt live in Yukon never did I say I was. Or wanting it there . Then I was told I was sent a text ?? A no show fee bs. 150$ . And now since they didn't have enough teachers . They couldn't make my appointment . Now that there's no one wearing masks i called to set up my last drive fyi I paid the whole thing before the last drive . N today I called to set up my last drive I was told it's apparently my fault for not setting up faster .. how could I if they kept saying call again . Call again. Call again no show fee now I gotta pay 200_ $ . Then I found out one of the girl driver instructors lied about how many hrs my brother drove . I was venting to him and he told me that .. so illegal. But yeah he himself paid the so called late fee to . And my other brother as well . So I guess y'all splip some things but u can't waive this so called fee. When I feel like y'all didn't have enough employees .. so disappointed . I guess I gotta be a young man looking cute so they can lie on my hrs of driving . So wrong . But ok I guess I'll pass .. you aren't the only driving school in Oklahoma. Ridiculous.
Fantastic experience: Riley was absolutely amazing! Alert driving school is super helpful, and totally worth the money. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to leave a review for Alert Driving school on NW 50th and N. Meridian. I wasn't asked to, I promised I would! It's a novel but I wanted to be transparent about my experience. I don't like the DMV, never have -- never will. I never had gotten my license before and I certainly did not want to take a driving test with somebody at the DMV. To be honest my confidence was pretty shot with driving. The people at the driving school are friendly and easy to get along with. Knowing I could take my driving test with a private driving school took a lot of tension off of me honestly. Silvia helped me with my emails and scheduling when I had difficulty online doing it myself. My work schedule would conflict sometimes but it was nice knowing there was someone to help if I needed it. Richard made me feel comfortable, assuring me I wasn't the first 30yr old to walk through that door. Very knowledgeable, and kind. I actually learned a lot more than I thought I would in his class. Also he made class fun, and filled with moments of participation. Larry was my in-car instructor, and he was a riot! I didn't feel like I was having to over-perform, and he showed me some really neat things along the way. It was hard not to have fun around a guy like him. Kevin was the examiner for my driving license test. He was very linear and clear about the do's and don't's of the test, but most of all very friendly. We had a lot in common I felt, and that put me at ease for my test. He made the process of getting my license in writing very easy, and shared encouraging words that helped me. I would say that this was a very viable means of obtaining my license without going through the torture of the waiting line at the DMV. Well -- except for once, but that's the "golden ticket" trip. The package I chose was the $395 package, which essentially covered just about everything except for the driver's test itself. That was a separate payment, but nothing astronomical. If there was ever an issue that I had come upon during my time with Alert Driving it was always pretty easy to correct it whether it was with somebody in that particular office, or somebody in a different area of the company. The only issue I ever encountered was scheduling my drives online. Not that it's hard to access, it just didn't load things right sometimes is all. I would just call the office instead and they were able to easily sort a date for me. There were a number of reasons limiting me from going to the DMV, one of which included the necessity of bringing your own vehicle to drive in. At Alert Driving they provide vehicles for you to drive in. Nice vehicles with back-up cameras at that! All-in-all I would say that if I were to go back and choose how to best educate myself in terms of driving and vehicle safety... I would choose Alert Driving School again. Costs some money to enroll, but really when you think about it there's a lot of benefits already in place for you -- especially if the DMV isn't your thing like myself. Everyone there is helpful and kind. Nobody's just "working" there, everyone seemed to have a story or a connection to their reason for wanting to educate others. There's also a defensive driving course to attend after you've completed your license test that I eventually plan to attend myself. Maybe this convinces somebody on the fence. If you're searching for a good, and safe alternative to a Driver's Ed. class then I definitely recommend going here. I know I wouldn't be driving today if I didn't.
Fantastic experience: Very great driving test, amazing staff five star safety highly recommended. God bless
Fantastic experience: Excellent school. Professional team. Wonderful instructors. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: The instructor made everything go smoothly and did everything on his part great and also helped getting me in and out in good timing, highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Get the prep
Negative experience: Overpriced. Not enough learning hands on.
Negative experience: feeling conflicted. on one hand the classes are fine and most instructors are fine but they have one instructor named Todd, who does road testing with a faulty hearing aid. I say faulty because he screams in order to give instructions to the students. and they use the as an excuse as to why he talks to the students in the way that he does. I understand these are new drivers and most civilians would be nervous around them learning but screaming and then tapping them strongly on the shoulder and/or thighs is completely inappropriate and not a way to make students comfortable and confident in their driving. I tried to resolve this with the owner and all I got was a defensive and rude conversation. I wouldn't recommend this location and instructor. and to top it off they fail these students by making them uncomfortable and more nervous then they already are just to return to the office and make them reschedule and charge them more money for them to do another road test. I think its a scam.
Pablo, I apologize that you left feeling frustrated by your experience at our NW location. We strive to provide professional and adequate service at all of our locations. We know that you will be quite pleased with your appointment that we have scheduled for you this Friday at our Yukon location!
Fantastic experience: They have great and friendly people here.
Thank you Memo! Our office staff and instructors strive to to give our students the best knowledge and the best experience we can!
Negative experience: if i could give a 0 star i would one they are so dam rude on phone dont explain what to do after a course also when you pay the amount they ask then cancel on you but dont tell you then count against you as if you had cancel but they mark your child as a no show!
We’re sorry to hear about this experience, please reach out to us directly.
Negative experience: They are very nit picky with anything that you do. Todd told me that my motions with the car were “jerky”, your Ford Fusion is “jerky”, not me. You barely push the gas and it launches quick. The brakes are horrible, they start braking hard once your barely push the pedal. I also failed my drivers test because I hit 41mph on the speedometer in a 40 speed limit for a second! I noticed it and I immediately slowed down. It’s one thing to go 5 over and not slow down, but 41? Are you serious? Todd told me I would’ve passed if I wasn’t “speeding”. After that they told me to go to the front window to reschedule another test for another $95. I walked straight out the door lol. Wouldn’t recommend taking a test here, especially with Todd. They just want an easy cash grab.
Fantastic experience: Very informative and friendly
Negative experience: Todd is sadistic and is focused more on humiliating teenage girls than teaching driving. He thrives on making them cry, yelling while they nervously attempt to test and charging again for retaking it. He should find a new career.
We’re sorry to hear about this experience, please reach out to us directly.
Fantastic experience: Very good instructors and patient with students.
Fantastic experience: Great school and great teachers. They will make sure you pass your test
Negative experience: The instructor was mean and from every little mistake I made he would curse, he was yelling and none professional. I wouldn’t recommend it.
We’re sorry to hear about this experience, please reach out to us directly.
Fantastic experience: It was fast on the day for my driving test only took like 20 minutes, the guy I forgot his name was very nice (trust me)
Negative experience: Overall my kid learned a lot from the classes and drives. But very poor phone answering skills at the north side. Scheduled a driving test three weeks in advance and the Thursday before the scheduled test, which was the following Tuesday I received an email that the appointment was cancelled. Never received a phone call. Finally rescheduled but had to drive across town to accommodate the appointment needs.
Fantastic experience: The teacher is so nice and is very supportive
Negative experience: I was at the n.store they were so rude and I asked for a suprises and was told I wouldn't get the number that I had to dill with it but because I had already payed150 or eals I would of said some rud as words because she was nasty rude noo people skills
Fantastic experience: This place was the best! They helped me know what I had to do, I did it and then passed the driver's test. They were quick and courteous.
Fantastic experience: Amazing people and lessons!
Negative experience: We bought this course weeks ago, not realizing our grandson's driving classes would not be given during his school fall break when he was available and not in school. He was told to sign up this morning for driving practice but there are no classes still available except during his school hours which require him to miss 3 hours of school on 3 different days. Since there are no classes left during non-school hours, he will have to wait until November to get in the next set, with no guarantee that he will get a class during non-school hours plus he might have to be driving during bad weather. I am very unhappy that this schedule is so inconvenient. We did not pay $520 just so this school could screw up our grandson's school schedule.
Negative experience: Says online that they get a permit test at the school. I paid a LOT of money that we didn’t have to get my son into a class over 60 days ago, and they didn’t offer the permit test. I didn’t want to forfeit the money I paid for driving time, but DPS is scheduling 60 days out for permit test appointments. I have called numerous times and left voicemails asking about scheduling a permit test or rescheduling the driving time, and they have never returned my calls. I don’t have the time to drive across town, nor did I feel like it was a safe place to express my frustrations in person. I cannot recommend this place to anyone who values good communication and professionalism. *Replies to negative Google reviews but won’t answer the phone or return voicemails. I guess we can finish this conversation here. I asked specifically if they did permit tests when I was there. They said no. I said “it says on the website…”, and the front office said they don’t. I accepted this answer because the class was cheap and well-rated. I then asked about getting a permit before or after driving, and they said he needed a permit before drive time and to use DPS. Getting a permit was never discussed with my son in class. There is OBVIOUSLY a problem with communication.
No where on our website does it state we administer the permit test. We do however provide the tools to pass the permit test and/or bypass the permit test. We have no control over the Department of Public Safety and how far out they re scheduled. However you can walk into the DPS magacenter and get your permit with little to no wait if you complete your 10 hours of class and 6 hours of driving with a certified instructor that we provide.
Fantastic experience: The staff here we're very friendly and they really care about you doing good on the exam.
Fantastic experience: The instructor is a great guy! He is great with the kids. Great teacher. It was nice to hear him tell what they did wrong and how to fix it later. Very down to earth guy. I would highly recommend this school.
Negative experience: The driving instructor told me I was the "worst Mexican driving student" he's had. Keep in mind this was an hour into my first ever in car lesson and like any 16 year old I was extremely nervous. I have only ever had good experiences with the female driving instructors and staff.
Fantastic experience: Totally enjoyed the personalities of the driving instructors! Thanks Alert Driving!
Negative experience: They will not return phone calls. They do not explain anything. I have to beg for information and they still only give partial info. It’s the worst run business!!!!!!!! What a waste of money!
Fantastic experience: Great service. Peaceful teacher. Easy and amazing
Fantastic experience: the best thank you for helping me get my license!!❤️
Fantastic experience: The instructor was really amazing I got to learn a lot from him he show me stuff I didn’t know or forgot about thanks to him i feel ready for my test
Positive experience: Went there to take the class to keep my insurance benefit . Found the instructors very informative about things . My only gripe is 7:30 is way too early to start a class I’m more the 9:00 9:30 ish kind of person but other than that at least now I won’t have to take it again for a while ...
Fantastic experience: Ignore all the negative reviews and give it a try yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
Negative experience: They never answer the phone but expect people to pay them $350? No way..Smh
Fantastic experience: This weekend I took my first 2 classes with alert driving school, I was SUPER IMPRESSED, the instructor was a super cool likeable guy, who has over 20 years experience in law enforcement and traffic investigations.....during the class today the owner of alert driving came into class and showed appreciation for everyone who came....they don't just teach at alert they actually care, stupid mistake to go anywhere else 10000%
Fantastic experience: Got in and got out, excellent customer service and drivers ed for a good price!
Negative experience: Absolutely the worst customer service in this city. Disorganized, unfriendly. They act like they’re doing you a favor by being in operation instead of good customer service. No professionalism from the workers in the office. Their actual school is fine. It’s who ever runs the front office who can’t get it together. Complete rudeness, unhelpful. The woman on the phone actually talked over me the entire call. I wouldn’t recommend them to ANYONE.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend attending Alert Driving School. The school is professional, and very friendly. If you are a new driver, or you need to retake a written test, or brush up on driving safety this is a great school.
Fantastic experience: The experience was very great the instructors were polite and taught me things that I didnt know
Fantastic experience: My 17yr just past with an 86%. The experience was a family oriented environment. Everyone was knowledgeable, friendly, and really helpful. They exceeded my expectations. I'm sending my 16yr old next month. I know she will also be in good hands. They drove around before the test and I know that gave him the confidence he needed. I recommend ALL parents to take advantage for their children behind the wheel.
Fantastic experience: Tod And Brad are awesome.
Fantastic experience: Great School with Great Instructors!
Fantastic experience: The instructors are lit in dis mf had my cracking up the whole time and I passed
Fantastic experience: I had a couple tests cancelled at the DMV due to absolute ridiculous reasons and I failed one. I didn’t know what to expect here. But even though I was late, the lady at the desk was helpful and Brad was my examiner. He is hands down one of the best. He was extremely informative (in a good way), moderately lenient, and stopped me from getting nervous. He keeps the conversation going. This place is phenomenal. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get a course or just test. Skip all the inconveniences.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and helpful people.
Fantastic experience: Very nice school, I was very nervous but they were very polite and patient

Fantastic experience: Took my driving test today & I passed ! Great customer service ! If I can give it 100 stars I would !!!!!
Negative experience: I went to the driving school back in 2014-2015 it was amazing. But now I take my little brother there in March it was before everything happened. After everything open back up the front manager was so rude she do not want to communicate with you are help with nothing. My brother did 2 practice drives in May and his last practice was in July. He still not confident with taking a real driving test to get his license. I try talking to the front manager about help she really was not interested with helping me at all. Overall the school would of been amazing if everything did not shut down.
Fantastic experience: The staff are professional and kind. Everything was done quickly and well. The instructor helped me to feel at ease as I went through the process.
Fantastic experience: Owner is 100 percent helpful and honest. If you want to bypass the hostile Dmv this is the best place to go. You will not have to be stressed going here they will make you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive and during class and testing. Will make sure you pass without feeling stressed.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, the price is unbeatable and the service is exceptional! I don't think you'll find a better driving school !

Fantastic experience: I'm Autistic and they helped me learn and was very patient with me. I ended up passing the test with flying colors. Thank you so much! Worth the purchase. The instructors are friendly, cars are clean. Overall satisfied.
Negative experience: i went two days, and both days they spent like half an hour in the middle of class asking for a 5 star review. the second class even had us get out our phones to do it (which i didn't). dont do that.

Fantastic experience: This is definitely the best driving school to go to hands down if you want it done go here
Fantastic experience: We had an instructing! So much great information was givin even at the parent meeting!
Negative experience: It was so dumb, y’all need to fix your car, it’s jerky and old and hard to press down when driving, also no one uses parallel parking nowadays so go ahead and get rid of that on the driving test.
Fantastic experience: IT WAS EASY , THEY WERE AWESOME ❗❗❗
Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service provided by Delia. She made the process easy and with no hassle! The prices are affordable and the instructors do train you to the best of their ability! I would recommend this place to my friends and family. Thanks guys!!!
Negative experience: Horrible horrible customer service from “Danielle.” Paid $120 up front for the practice drive and drivers test for my 16 year old daughter the same day. Attempted to verify all correct documents before my daughter drove from “Danielle” who said “we don’t need them.” Then after practice drive while meeting with testing instructor said “you don’t have the correct certificate.” Mind you it was the exact same certificate from the drivers ed class we used to get her learners permit directly with the DMV. Then was told we have a “no refund” policy, and she can’t test. When questioning “Danielle” why she didn’t confirm prior to driving as I asked her too, she stared at computer with a smirk and repeated again we have a “no refund policy.” Would NEVER use this place with the extremely unprofessional practice and rude responses.
Negative experience: DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE 5 STAR REVIEWS. MAJORITY OF THE REVIEWS ARE FROM STUDENTS IN CLASSES BEING TOLD AT ONE POINT THEY WILL RECEIVE FREE LUNCH FOR A 5 STAR REVIEW!! I WAS UNABLE TO LOG IN TO THE SCHEDULING SYSTEM TO SCHEDULE DRIVING TIMES. DUE TO INSTRUCTOR NEEDS TO FINSH THEIR PART 1SR DRIVE WENT WELL., SECOND DRIVRLE WAS CUT SHORT 10 MINUTES EARLY AND WASTED 20 MINUTES STOPPING TO GET GAS! NEVER RECEIVED MY 3RD DRIVE!! ALL KINDS OD SCHEDULING ERRORS AND WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEONE OVER THE PHONE THE GIRL FIRST QUOTES ME $50 TO REINSTATEMENT FEE REQUIRED BY DPS TO RESTATE AND FINSH DRIVING. THEN NOW ITS $100 REQUIREMENT RESTATE BY DPS! ALSO TRYING TO ARGUE THAT I DIDNT PAY FOR THE TESTING TO TAKE THE DRIVING TEST!! THEIR FOR CONGRATULATIONS ALERT DRIVING SCHOOL YOU RECEIVED MY MONEY!! WOWWW EVERYONE PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE INSIDE BS GOING ON WITH THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!
Fantastic experience: I will recommend this driving school to my friends. From the staff to the classroom session and driving instructors, they are polite, patient and deal with everything professionally. I have 3 different driving instructors and I would recommend them to my friends. Silvia also helped me get an earlier schedule when my 2nd drive was cancelled. Mr. Dick is our classroom instructor and because we finish at 9pm he made sure all of us had our lyft/ uber ride before leaving the office.
Fantastic experience: We just finished our second job for Alert Driving School. Enjoyed working with everyone in the business. I have recommended Alert Driving School to several fathers for their high school kids. Everyone has thanked me and expressed their satisfaction. Said they would highly recommend Alert Driving School to their family and friends! Richard Smith, Cornet Carpet, Inc.
Fantastic experience: Classroom Sessions: You may learn something new or even useful! Behind The Wheels: Nice and Friendly Instructors (Getting drives is harder for the Basic Package)
Fantastic experience: Amazing please and teacher!
Fantastic experience: Very informative. Provided much relief for the process of training my child to drive with long term safety as a goal.
