Cowboy Driving Academy in Stillwater

Fantastic experience: My driver was really nice and under standing

Fantastic experience: Thank you to William Willis for a fantastic first drive! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: They were very helpful throughout the entire process from getting my permit to my license. Huge shout-out to Will, he was my driving examiner for my test today. He was very calm and it helped me a ton, if you can schedule your drives with Will then I recommend you do so!

Fantastic experience: I took my driving test here just earlier today. The lady at the front desk was very nice and friendly, and the instructor was even ready for me 15 minutes early for my appointment, enabling me to even get it done early. The instructor was super helpful throughout the entire thing and was very clear about what was required to pass. Out of the many testing places I've dealt with this has been by far the best.

Fantastic experience: Learned a lot and people were nice

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a really great experience here. The instructors are really good, and most importantly they help without making student nervous. I really liked Leon and he helped me learn many things that I would have made wrong if I directly gave a test. Highly recommended!

Negative experience: The instructors were rude to me and when I went to take my driving test they were saying horrendous things about a deaf student in front of me. Disgusting.

Fantastic experience: My experienced with them was great. Matt was very patient with me explaining the things that I needed to know. Especially English is my second language. They communicated with me very well when my first scheduled was cancelled and they asked me if the second schedule works for me. Surely I will recommend them 100 %

Negative experience: This place is an absolute scam. They won’t let you pass the test unless you take their 1 hour training which cost around 300 dollars. It’s better to wait and do the test with DPS office in your own vehicle.

Positive experience: The instructors themselves are great. However, communication with this place is a nightmare. The ONLY form of communication they will use is voice via phone (which is incredibly ableist) and the person who answers the phone just says nothing very pleasantly. We paid extra for the valet driving service because we need them to come pick our son up. When they didn’t show up we got a message saying we were being charged for a no show and there is no clear way to talk to anyone about this!! I’m so very frustrated and disappointed with Cowboy Driving Academy and absolutely would not use them if I had it to do over again.

Fantastic experience: They teach really well. I have learned a lot from the sessions I have had with them. Also they are very nice and fun

Fantastic experience: Helped me learn a lot and allowed me to get my permit way easier highly recommend going here

Fantastic experience: The absolute best!! It helped me so much and it is so so easy Beth and dean are the best!

Fantastic experience: Good driving school nice people

Fantastic experience: Terri was so helpful, kind, and patient getting my daughter scheduled for her drive exam! This is my third child that has tested with Cowboy Driving and they are always very helpful and give great instruction and feedback!

Fantastic experience: Great overall experience!!!

Negative experience: The first time reviewing this place I said that the driving instructor I had was very patient and taught a lot of being safe which is still true. I had no trouble with the people but with the scheduling of my class being changed from a Sunday to a Monday. You get charged for canceling a driving lesson when canceling it too close to the date you “set” it up, specifically 48 hours. Now I understand sometimes schedules need to change but you need to notify the person that that’s happening. Only reason it’s 2 stars is because of the instructor

Fantastic experience: We 100% recommend! We used the Poteau location: Our experience was wonderful! Dean and Beth were both very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. After the first class my daughter felt more confident in herself and by time she finished her 6 hours of driving she felt fully comfortable driving and ready to pass her driving exam, which she did with flying colors!

Negative experience: More than a little money hungry very picky testers. If you are looking to just pay for your kid to get tested do yourself a favor and wait in line at DPS and do it for free! Don’t bother with this place that straight out tells you oh well he won’t pass OUR test since he hasn’t taken OUR course… after you already purchased the test online which has a no refund policy. I’m sure their course is nice but that doesn’t mean you didn’t leave your turn signal on long enough when switching lanes deducts that many points! Or you didn’t pull in far enough when parallel parking. I get that you have to make money but today you honestly stretched it too far.

Negative experience: Lady that answers the phone is rude and in person just as rude. I had my daughter here each time when they said and they had us waiting. Today we was here at 11:45 am that was her test time guess what she didn’t leave till 12:20. 35 minutes after her appointment. If a place is going to charge so much they should probably learn how to schedule the appointments correctly!! And maybe find help that isn’t so rude. I will not bring my other children here. Listen learned.

Fantastic experience: Has the best driving instructor ever

Negative experience: I did my driver's ED at Cowboy Yukon location which was great TERRI and DEVIN were amazing, they made you feel welcome. Did my 6hrs drive with Devin he was very patient, explain everything well pertaining to my drives and road safety. I then had my driver's test/exam and the instructor was incredibly rude, loud and talk down to me made me feel like a child. I paid my money and I nor no one should have to feel the way I did yesterday. I am guessing if you not clear on something you not suppose to ask questions. And yes I did fail the test at Cowboy, but I went today at another competing school and pass my exam and the instructors there were more personable, friendly and not condescending like the cowboy instructor I had. I would never forget my exam experience at Cow Boys.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly training

Negative experience: The man who conducted my driving exam was incredibly rude. He wouldn’t stop talking over me, even after asking questions. No idea why you’d ask anyone a question and then talk over their answer. Since he wouldn’t stop talking about irrelevant things, his instructions were very unclear. Instead of making minimal small talk, he would go on for awhile. This was frustrating, to say the least. He called me “girl” in condescending ways, too. I can only imagine how much he would belittle someone who did worse than me. You think for the price you pay, you’d at least be treated well. I passed my exam at least.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place for people to learn how to drive the instructors In the class were very personable and my daughter loved them she learned so much

Fantastic experience: Great people and knowledgeable

Positive experience: Scheduling is sometimes a nightmare, if you need to adjust anything. It seems no one ever answers the phone. We had one driving session get the pick up and drop off addresses backwards (understandable, people make mistakes), show up at the wrong place, realize the problem, then cancel the appointment and charge us for a no-show! That seems to be automatic in their system, and they did correct it once the problem was pointed out, but there should be a better option than "no show". This is after one of the instructors made my daughter cry, twice, and now she is dreading the next session. The folks we have talked to seem reasonable, it's just been a rocky start from the perspective of our kids.

Fantastic experience: Oklahoma is having unprecedented backlogs for services at the DMV. Not only will Cowboy driving teach your child how to drive safely. They also help with the frustration of dealing with the DMV. I strongly encourage any parent to have their child attend these classes. They will get you and your children moving down the right path!!

Fantastic experience: My instructor was very awesome taught me ways I didn’t or forgot about, not to mention he never yelled as much told me what i did wrong absolutely amazing guy.

Fantastic experience: Nicest teacher kept us fed and taught us well

Fantastic experience: very good driving academy, kept us well fed

Fantastic experience: They covered everything and they taught me a lot.

Fantastic experience: Brad was the kindest spirit I've ever met. Outside of the exceptional service, the prices are unbeatable !

Fantastic experience: Very straight forward and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people that care about kids (and their worried parents too)!!!

Fantastic experience: Best All Around Program by far! Excellent people to work with. My child’s driving like a pro! Thank You!

Fantastic experience: The instructor was informative and nice.

Fantastic experience: Great service

Fantastic experience: Super professional and a great place to start for first time drivers.

Fantastic experience: My second child is currently enrolled in Drivers Education with Cowboy Driving. They are the best of the best. Their instructors know what they are doing. My first child was confident in what she learned and she is confident behind the wheel. It makes me as a parent feel a little more at ease having my young driver in the road because of Cowboy Driving.

Fantastic experience: They were very thorough and efficient!

Fantastic experience: Awesome!!

Fantastic experience: Thorough. Professional. An essential learning experience to ensure the safety of your kiddos!

Fantastic experience: Must have training for your new driver

Fantastic experience: Good place for driving education

Negative experience: I would literally use ANYONE other than these people. We called back in October to confirm that we could pick our date and time for my daughter to take her test since she had finals that day. We were assured several times that we would not only get the day, but the time we wanted if available. I scheduled it for 10am December 20th, my daughter moves all her finals around for that morning so we could get it done. I get a text 2 days before had saying that the appointment was on December 20th, but at 2pm! That is a huge difference than what I paid for. I called to ask about it and was given a very rude, “dates are guaranteed, times are not” however that isn’t what I was told on the phone. I was also told that they don’t give refunds, so I’m out that $100. Then today I spoke with Brad on the phone and he was just as rude. These people honestly do not care about anything other than that money. Enjoy my $100, you obviously need it more for doing nothing than I do. PS- On a good note, my daughter went to the DMV first thing this morning and passed her test. They were incredibly nice and helpful. If anyone is looking for a place to go, that’s what I would do.

Negative experience: I paid $100 two months ago so that my daughter could have her driving test specifically scheduled, be able to move her semester final around that specific time, and not be stressed on an already stressful day. We hadn’t heard anything from them and we were a week out from the day so my husband called just to make sure all was good...oh yea yea, you’ll be getting text and email reminders soon. Less than 48 hours before she was supposed to take it they send the reminders with a time what is 4 hours different than the one we paid for. I get the website mentions the times can be changed but come on. No notice and they knew that kids had finals today that would need accommodating. We called and were pretty much told, too bad- “only dates are guaranteed.” Okay understood. So since she can’t make that time now because it’s in the middle of a final she didn’t know to arrange a makeup for, can we just cancel and have a refund? Nope. They could have given more notice so we could have rearranged. Instead they made it clear it wasn’t their problem. We went to the DMV this morning and got her test done there. They are seriously the nicest people! We had to get there super early but it was worth it. She passed so all is well in her world!!

Fantastic experience: The experience is the best. I definitely feel more safe when driving

Fantastic experience: Had 3 daughters go through this! Middle daughter would not have been able without one on one!! Thanks so much!!!

Fantastic experience: Cowboy Driving went above & beyond to ensure my daughter was provided for in her first driving experience! The instructors were great, very understanding, & used methods to really help her understand all the aspects of learning to drive & being a responsible motorist.

Negative experience: Very rude owner and called me names. I felt like crying afterwards.

Fantastic experience: Very informative! Appreciate their dedication to educating our children!

Fantastic experience: Great place.

Fantastic experience: Brad does an awesome job of training the kids!

Fantastic experience: Great Program.

Negative experience: had decent sessions with an instructor here. However, when the instructors are not available, the owner conducts the driving sessions. The owner is one of the worst instructors I have ever come across. He is a very aggressive driver, even though his lectures at the academy talk about defensive driving. He made inappropriate and racist gestures at a bike rider when he was driving ( That was a big turn off for me and I would never send my kids here) I decided to take sessions here as I was just graduating and driving license is mandatory for some jobs. But I would advise folks not to make a wrong decision like me. I got a very professional and pragmatic instruction from a driving school in Houston and received the license in no time

Fantastic experience: Brad does an excellent job making things real for these young women and men.

Fantastic experience: Dedicated to teaching and the safety of their students. Recommended for any new drivers.

Fantastic experience: This is THE way to get your children prepared to drive! What a great program and staff!

Fantastic experience: Great class!

Fantastic experience: Good, yes.

Fantastic experience: We'll organized, professional staff. Thorough training for the students.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! The instructors are excellent! My older son went through Cowboy and now my youngest is taking the course.

Fantastic experience: Great teachers. Vety hands on and informable. My daughter is the second of my 3 children who have attended cowboy and my 3 rd child will when the time comes. I highly recommend them and any of their packages that include the valet option in it.

Fantastic experience: Instruction in Stillwater!

Fantastic experience: Awesome instructors, so far

Fantastic experience: Instructor is amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome job by Brad. Informative and constructive

Fantastic experience: This is our third time to have a child go through this program. Excellent customer service and a great experience for students with a very thorough and detailed education on all components of driving and safety!

Negative experience: Parent meeting from 9 to 10. Had to get up and leave at 10:45! Not the first parent that had to leave. Why are you trying to sell me on dental and vision assistance? I thought this was about driving. If your meetings are going to be two hours you could at least let us know. When I come back to pick up my child do really mean 4:00 or should I plan on 5:00?

Fantastic experience: Great class and excellent info!

Fantastic experience: This is our second child thru the program, it works and highly recommend!
