Fantastic experience: I just recently finished my driving lessons and it was a great experience. One thing I appreciated about the program was its structured curriculum, which covered all aspects of driving thoroughly. From basic maneuvers to navigating complex traffic situations, I felt well-prepared for the road ahead and a lot of it was thanks to instructor Sabrina.

Fantastic experience: Love friendly driving!!! Helped me so much thanks again guys
Negative experience: Service was fair but i would not use their services again. My initial contact with the receptionist wasn't pleasant. Maybe it's her aggressive nature. The driving portion of the class was schedule 2 1/2 months later and then they canceled the first day because they were running behind. They're only open on weekends and dont pick you up from home. You must drive to their site.
Fantastic experience: I want to say thank you to Ms. Sabrina, Mr. Mike, Mr. Ross, and all the staff at Friendly Driving Randallstown. Their friendliness (pun intended) has made my experience here enjoyable and fun, but most important of all, I feel very prepared for my test. They know what they’re doing and really just want to see you succeed! I am walking out of here confident & licensed.

Negative experience: My recent experience with Friendly Driving School left me not only disappointed but also appalled by the overall lack of professionalism and neglect for basic hygiene standards. It quickly became evident that the positive reviews I had come across were nothing more than deceptive fabrications. To begin with, the front desk lady, Sabrina Khan, set the tone for my visit with her unprofessional demeanor. Her dismissive and rude attitude made it clear that customer satisfaction was not a priority for her. Instead of providing assistance or addressing inquiries, she treated me and other customers with disrespect, tarnishing the image of the driving school from the very start. Sadly, the issues didn't end there. The quality of instruction at Friendly Driving School was shockingly subpar. The instructors lacked the necessary expertise and failed to deliver comprehensive lessons. Their explanations were confusing, leaving students ill-prepared for the challenges of the road. It was disheartening to witness the incompetence of the instructors, as they failed to provide the necessary skills and knowledge for safe driving practices. Beyond the inadequate instruction, the state of the facilities, including the bathrooms, was truly alarming. The bathrooms were consistently dirty, neglected, and in desperate need of proper maintenance and cleanliness. It is essential for any establishment, especially one involved in education and training, to uphold basic hygiene standards for the well-being and comfort of its customers. The lack of attention to such fundamental matters reflects a complete disregard for professionalism and customer care. Furthermore, upon closer scrutiny, it became evident that the positive reviews attributed to Friendly Driving School were far from genuine. Many of them exhibited repetitive language and excessively exaggerated praise, casting serious doubt on their authenticity. It is disheartening to discover that the driving school resorts to such deceitful tactics instead of focusing on improving their services and addressing legitimate concerns. In conclusion, my experience at Friendly Driving School was marred by unprofessionalism, inadequate instruction, neglected facilities, and fabricated reviews. The unclean and poorly maintained bathrooms further emphasized the lack of attention to basic standards. I strongly advise prospective students to seek alternative driving schools that prioritize professionalism, quality instruction, and the well-being of their customers. It is my sincere hope that this review serves as a cautionary tale and prompts Friendly Driving School to reevaluate their practices, take the necessary steps to address these issues, and genuinely strive for improvement in all aspects of their service.
Negative experience: Dont go here, will take your money. After you finished the online class they schedule your driving time. They cancel the lessons wont refund you. Dont pay cash!
Not true. Your son is 21 years old and he was given the driving schedule which he decided to cancel since he wasn’t ready for his final lesson. You didn’t even know the whole scenario and you came to the office using foul language and being loud and nasty to the staff and that’s why we had to call authorities to get you out of there, also you son was provided with his partial refund even though you guys were being nasty. Anywhere you go you cannot be nasty to people.
Fantastic experience: They take time to teach you the best ways to drive. Helped me pass my drivers test. 100% recommend!
Great to hear that. Be safe on the road.
Fantastic experience: I did private lessons at Friendly’s and I had an amazing experience working with them. The staffs are very friendly and supportive. Sabrina was very helpful in getting me in & out and proving me with all the information I need. I must commend my driving instructors Ross & Danny, they are the best! Very knowledgeable, and patient and did great work building my confidence. I highly recommend, money well spent!!

Negative experience: Worst driving school ever. The instructor is rude and snubbish. It takes about 4 months to get appointments for driving tests. Not sure if they are short staffed or whatever, but the attitude of the lady in charge is just awful.
Fantastic experience: The name speaks for itself, they have great customer service and are constantly willing to work with you. Prices are great in comparison to basically everywhere and it's well worth your time. DO. NOT. MISS. OUT!!!!

Fantastic experience: Very professional and helpful driving school. They are all very kind and nice people. I enjoyed my time at this driving school
Fantastic experience: it was a good driving school, especially with the instructor he is very nice and take his time with you, other then the wait time it was very great.
Negative experience: I am really disappointed and dissatisfied with Friendly Driving School especially the Randallstown branch! I was scheduled for my driving test on the 3rd of August and I went and I was rejected to take my driving test and told to reschedule mainly because my instructor had made a mistake with filling my information. He entered in my permit number wrong which is so unprofessional and very disturbing. I live all the way in Columbia and had to take an Uber of about 100 dollars only to be told I need to reschedule because the information they had on file was different from what they had received. Everyone is very unprofessional and I hope he gets fired immediately or I will have to take some Legal action myself! This is very very unprofessional and I am highly disappointed
It's funny how u rated three other driving schools with 1 star rating.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. Sabrina was one of the nicest teachers and worked with me throughout my cancelations and make up classes . Very patient and down to earth
Fantastic experience: I’ve had nothing but great experiences with friendly driving academy. Sabrina was very friendly and taught very well, even in a virtual setting. My physical driving portion was also great and I had friendly, comical and educational conversations with all my teachers. Good experience overall, thanks Friendly Driving Academy
Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend this driving school! Everything from the online classes to the driving instruction went smoothly and quickly. Ms. Sabrina was very chill and made sure that we had a good experience. Thank you Ms. Sabrina as well as the rest of the staff at Friendly Driving!
Fantastic experience: Thank You Friendly Driving School! I passed my skills test on the first try thanks to my education and driving practice from here. Ms. Sabrina was so kind and helpful to us and helped us fit in all of our appointments and classes. I don’t know what we would do without Friendly Driving School
Fantastic experience: The whole experience was amazing! they gave me tips on what I needed to work on, my instructors made sure to take their time and help me practice my driving. If I could give them more than 5 stars i definitely would!
Fantastic experience: The best driving school to go to! They were so flexible and understanding with my schedule and easy to work with. The whole process was so fast and easy. Great experience to learn about driving. They really helped me! So grateful i chose this school.
Fantastic experience: So glad I chose this place to take the course. These are just great people who made it a fun and beneficial learning experience. I still call and say hi to them on a regular basis. Keep giving this wonderful service guys!
Negative experience: I enrolled into the school late march. I paid the money like everyone else and was still asked to give an extra $100. Until this day we have no clue where that balance of $100 came from considering everything was paid for in the begging. I then began my 2 week class and had the intention that i would be completing my drive time prior to the two weeks. We were then told i would not be able to complete my drive time until September. It was April . My mother and i are really busy so our schedule clashes a lot so it was important i get my license at that time. We then end up leaving friendly driving academy and finding another place to complete my drive time . Things happened we end up coming back to friendly to re enroll me . The lady then proceeds to tell my mom “No” and that she doesn’t want to deal with us anymore and that we told other people not to come there. They are very unprofessional and rude . Please do not send yourself or child there.
When your mom came to registered, she was well explained that you wouldn’t be finishing the entire course withing the 2 weeks period. She was also given the option of getting her $100 refund back which is paid, but instead she decided to just do the classroom portion with us and She just paid the remainder money towards the classroom portion only and decided to do your driving portion elsewhere, since like you mentioned there was no option elsewhere as per your convenience, you guys decided to do classroom with us. Towards Early April when you were done with your classroom portion you decided to call us and told us you needed your documents and refund and you were explained that your mom only paid for the classroom portion. However, when your mom called, she was explained that she never paid for the driving portion in order to get the refund, and your mom responded that My daughter don’t know about it and she just need your records so you can go to different driving school and get you done. Your mom stopped by and picked up your documents so you can continue with different school. However, she just contacted us that she wants to continue with us since you guys couldn’t get done somewhere else and have too many conflicts and all. She was told she is not welcomed here because every time your mom called us or stopped by to the office, she keeps getting SMART and LOUD with the employees. I’m Sorry but WE DO NOT WELCOME CUSTOMERS TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT WHO ARE LOUD, DISRESPTFUL AND RUDE in front of the teenagers who come here to get educated. At first place you guys were rushing us to complete this course and picked up the documents 4 months ago and now calling us to let you finish the course with us since other driving schools couldn’t get you done. When your Mom was told today around 12:15pm that we don’t want to do business with you guys she again started to be disrespectful and we told her this is the exact reason you guys should take your business somewhere else.
Negative experience: This place is very unprofessional. While i was driving one of the tires flew off the car and i had to drive the car with only one wheel…my driving instructor fell asleep and then yelled at me because i told him it was unprofessional to try and get me to stop at Dunkin’ Donuts…do not go here
Wow, that must have been a crazy ride driving on one wheel. I am surprised we didn’t hear about this sooner. Please note that this is a fake review from a competitor. Thank you.
