A+ Academy Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Admins are super welcoming & instructors are the best.10/10 service
Fantastic experience: They have professional and very polite staff for driving tests.
Fantastic experience: they're wonderful staff is very friendly. perfect if you have anxiety issues. highly recommended for new drivers ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: Mr. Roger III is a great guy and highly recommend his school for third party driving test at A+ Academy driving school, Arlington. Just be aware of ARLINGTON school working hours that is exactly opposite to his office. You might not see the flashing light from his office when you start for road test as it is at far left near the traffic light. Your road test will start in school zone
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! They have been a pleasure to work with. Highly satisfied and I would recommend them to others looking to learn how to drive or take a driving test!
Negative experience: It's a scam. They don't tell you how much marks you get on the driving test even if you have passed or failed in the test. The process of giving marks is not clear. New comment based on the reply: I failed the test that is not the problem. The problem is the number giving process has to be clear and straight forward. How much number was deducted for this particular event, you don't even mention that. The instructor did not give any specific information about the exam and how the marks are going to be distributed. I spent money so you have to give a clear answer. Also middle of the training session, the instructor stepped out of the car and inhaled cigarettes or type like that. You know People are not that kind of stupid . Btw I have passed my driving exam few days later.
We understand that it is disappointing to fail your road test on the first attempt. However, safety is our top priority. As a DPS-authorized Third Party Skills provider, we strictly adhere to the guidelines set by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Before every road test, all individuals are informed of what they will be graded on and what actions that result in automatic failure, such as committing any dangerous act, getting into a crash, or breaking the law. At the end of every test, our examiners share their observations of the driving skills demonstrated and provide safety recommendations and driving tips. Unfortunately, during your test, our examiner had to intervene to prevent a collision with a parked car. For everyone's safety, any dangerous action like this results in automatic failure, in line with DPS guidelines. We encourage you to practice the recommendations given and would be happy to schedule a retest when you're ready. If you have any other questions, please call us at (833) SLO-DOWN (833-756-3696).
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience here! I paid for the hour prep and road test, after failing my last three tries at the road test. Mr. Rogers was my instructor, and he was so kind and patient. He really eased my driving anxiety. He did a great job of being a polite passenger while also keeping an eye on the road and my movements while not seeming too overbearing. I highly suggest this driving school!!
Fantastic experience: Website is very simple to navigate, if you have any questions you can call and they will answer those questions as well, you sign up and pay easily through the website and you will be guided from there
Fantastic experience: Recommend this place everything when good.i was so nervous .But Mr Roger it's a very Very Good instructor all my anxiety when too 0 Recommend him Thank you guys made me fell like family..and i passed my test!
Negative experience: I highly don’t recommend this place at all they love to scam people and and they are very rude and very hateful people they scam me for two road test 75+75 and they are very strict and will not let you pass road test no matter what I hate to be in this place they will not refund your money no matter what
We understand that it can be frustrating if one does not pass the road test on the first attempt. You created a student account in 2018. It is unknown how much in-car practice you have had at home, over the past 4 years. We do not guarantee that applicants will pass the road test. It reviews basic road rules, signs, and is the minimum standard to drive safely in traffic. The road test fee is not refundable, as stated on our website. A second road test attempt is charged for a second appointment. We recommend that you have more practice before your next road test attempt.
Fantastic experience: Si hubiera más de 5 estrellas lo pondría!!! Es una excelente escuela para aprender a manejar!! Yo venía desde “0” muchas gracias instructor Mrs. Rogers Que me apoyó mucho y el idioma no fue impedimento para aprender porque yo no hablo inglés % recomendado!!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time here a A+ Academy Driving School. The teachers were nice, the people working in the front desk were informative, and the driving instructors are so patient and kind when I went there. I would highly recommend if you were trying to learn how to drive, go here!
We are proud of our team! Safe drivers are a Blessing for generations to come.
Negative experience: They look for every opportunity to get money from you. The find the slightest reason to reschedule you and charge you additional fee of $75
Clearly stated on our website: HOW IT WORKS Step 1: Scheduling A Texas DPS-Issued Teen Learner's Permit or a B-Restricted Adult Driver's License with a photo is required to take the test. Create your student account by registering. Then view the schedule, pay, and book an appointment. Select "Student Center" to view the available appointments before making payment. We add appointments all the time. Payment submitted before checking availability or document requirements (including the permit) is not subject to a refund. Step 2: Testing Bring printed copies of all required documents and a vehicle you are comfortable driving to your appointment. Documents vary based on the driver ed program completed, as listed on this page. All documents are required on the day of your road test, otherwise you will incur a rescheduling fee. As a DPS authorized Road test provider, we adhere to safety standards in our grading process. Our road tester offers comprehensive feedback following each exam. Should individuals opt for a retest, there are rescheduling fees involved. Safety remains our utmost priority, and we are committed to guiding all our students towards becoming proficient drivers.
Fantastic experience: Took my test here and passed. Definitely recommend Mr. Rogers if possible he’s the best!
Our road testers care about You, just like our entire team works toward giving each student a positive and encouraging start in their driving career. Thank you for sharing!
Negative experience: This school is very bad. They want unjust money. They will not succeed. No one should go to them
As an DPS-Authorized Road Test Provider, we are bound by the law to grade appropriately. If an individual is not driving safely, they will not be issued a passing grade. Our road tester goes over the results, strengths and areas needed for improvement at the end of each exam. If individuals want an additional attempt with our school, rescheduling fees apply.
Negative experience: This place is the worst on punctuality, it says it opens at 10:00am and it’s 11:00am and had not yet open. Bad bad bad service
This is a driving school, with 3 locations (Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Duncanville) where we work by appointments. We frequently leave the office unattended to teach students out on the road. It is best to call us at (833) SLO - DOWN or (833) 756-3696 for more information or check our website: https://www.a-plus-academy-driving-school.com/

Fantastic experience: great experience made learning to drive stress free
Fantastic experience: It is very good driving school they are doing great job .
Negative experience: I had an unfortunate experience here. I reserved a Road Test. I’m older than 25 with a license from a different country that is 100% legal to drive in Texas with. A+ online requirements are clear in that they ask for a restricted license to do the test. I assumed that since I had a perfectly legal license I would be able to do it (they let you do it in the DMV). They would rather be close minded than try to help and they would rather keep your $75 than have a happy customer. I checked and they still have a lot of available appointments for the same day, so I didn’t cause them to lose other clients. If this was my business I would rather give the money back for a service I didn’t perform than hide behind a nonsense no-refunds policy. If you are in a similar situation I suggest you look elsewhere to a business that will show common sense and courtesy.
As an authorized third party provider of the DPS Road Test, we follow the rules required by the Texas Department of Public Safety. All testers are required, per our website, registration page and terms of service, to have a Texas learner permit or Texas B-restricted driver license. A test performed by a third party with a license from any other state or country would be considered invalid when submitted to the DPS office. Failure to bring the required documents to a scheduled road test is not eligible for a refund. Once you have received the Texas B-restricted driver license from the DPS, you will be able to schedule another appointment to test.
Fantastic experience: Muy buena atención
Fantastic experience: My son just finished his program & passed the driving test. We highly recommend the full package - definitely worth the money and peace of mind. Even if questions or concern - the staff & instructors have always helped. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words.
Negative experience: I also suspect if the 5 star reviews are real.
We have no students with this surname. Unknown what your concern is.
Negative experience: Would not recommend and 0 star.
We have no students with this surname. Unknown what your concern is.
Fantastic experience: Ms. Harris was an absolute delight! She was thorough and informative and very patient. My son learned great info while testing for his driver's license!
Thank you for your kindness. We want to help create confident, defensive drivers.
Fantastic experience: I did a skills confidence course & my driver’s exam with Mr. Rogers III . I let him know ahead of time that I do have drivers anxiety due to me failing my test the 1st time at DPS . Mr. Rogers was very patient and talked me through the lessons and gave me the necessary advice to not only pass my drivers test but to become confident behind the wheel . Highly recommend him anytime !Two thumbs up!
Thank you for sharing with your friends. We help as many students as we can.
Fantastic experience: I went there because my niece was doing her driving test she passed it
Congratulations! Safe travels to her.
Negative experience: Very bad experience and rude behavior by evaluator Harris. I need justification She failed me with improper reason. As per Texas law when emergency vehicle is coming in opposite lane. We should slow down to 20km/hr and pull vehicle to right side if it is safe and let the vehicle go. In my case emergency vehicle came suddenly in opposite direction then I slow down to speed 20 km then I was late to pull the vehicle to right lane because I did not feel safe to pull right side as vehicles coming from back side but my speed is 20km and then slowly changed the lane. She failed me for that reason. But Texas law is telling we should slow down to 20km/hr and pull the vehicle to right side if it safe until the emergency vehicle passed. I did the same I slow down my vehicle to 20km/hr and I tried to pull to right but little bit late because I feel it is unsafe to pull the car immediately to right. First thing it is important to slow down first and give the way. But pulling to right lane immediately depends on drivers safety and situation. She failed me for improper reason and her behavior is very very rude and she is talking too much during test and disturbing the test taker I need justification
We understand your frustration with not passing the DPS road test. Our road tests are conducted per the State of Texas’s Department of Public Safety Drivers License Division, Class C Non-Commercial Driver License Third Party Skills Test Program. Per Module 8, Rejection Standards: Any “Violation of Law” is an immediate failure of the test. We are bound by law to follow the State Laws. This requires us to fail any drivers that violate Texas Transportation Code § 545.151 Failure to Yield Right of Way. During your road test, you did not “Yield Right of Way” to an emergency vehicle. This is a clear violation of law, thus requiring you to fail.
Negative experience: I have had nothing but issues since we have been enrolled. Would not recommend they tried to charge more for gas when gas price hadn't changed nor was it in the policy. So he could never even start driving until we paid for gas before he drove. Then drive and observation hours kept changing or nobody show and he had to do both and wouldn't get credit. Ready to be done.
Fantastic experience: They are very professional, In-N-Out
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend! At first I took the road test at the DPS and failed so I decided to take a couple of lessons with the driving instructor, I took Mr.Cooper and he was nice and very detailed and informative. My driving skills improved! Then I took the road test with Ms.Harris and passed! I was very nervous at first but she helped calm me down and she was very informative, nice and calm! It’s worth the investment for your future here!
Fantastic experience: Great instruction, Fast and easy way to get your license.
Fantastic experience: I looked to different Google reviews and went there for DPS road test. They lived up to the expectations. Also if you are trying to learn parallel parking, they have some spots right in front for practicing.
Thank you for your kind words. We are happy you had a positive experience. Defensive driving is a skill to last a lifetime. Safe travels & tell your friends.
Negative experience: Failing the test wasn’t the problem it’s the fact that the rude lady said something about my mother . Check your employees & how you speak to someone . MY MOM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT HORRIBLE SERVICE NEVER GO ITS A BIG SCAM THEY FAIL EVERYONE . Racist !!! They’re gonna talk about you’re family members negative points
You Failed the DPS road test because you were speeding in the construction zone, outbound from the driving school, with workers present, and again on your return to the driving school. Penalties for Speeding Violations: If you are caught speeding in a work zone, the normal fine is doubled. The fine can be as much as $1,000 if construction workers are present. If speed is a factor in an accident, in a work zone, fines can be more than $2,000. The average individual would be hospitalized if struck by a vehicle going 30mph. The statement was 'How fast would you drive if your mother was standing there?'
Fantastic experience: Excelente escuela De manejo
Muchas gracias.
Fantastic experience: Smooth experience, 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you for trusting A+ Academy Driving School for your driver safety. Our Mission: We Help Save Lives Everyday!
Positive experience: Thankyou
Safe Travels
Fantastic experience: Mr.Rogers was a huge help to me and so were all the other Driving instructors if you want to learn how to drive efficiently then this is the place to go!
We are happy that you had such a positive experience with Mr. Rogers. All our instructors enjoy helping people become safe, defensive drivers.
Negative experience: Rude and unprofessional.
There is no student in our database with this name, but we strive for everyone to have a positive experience.
Negative experience: I'm not one to make negative comments on businesses, but in this situation, I can't let things stand. A couple of weeks ago, with my help, my daughter set up her account to go take her driving test - scheduled a couple of weeks out from the day we signed up. The very NEXT day (after signing up / booking a time), we get a 'NO SHOW' notice after never getting even a confirmation of a booking. The no show means my $75 is gone and I'll have to pay $65 to reschedule the test. Obviously we were confused, so I contacted them. The first time I called, I was able to speak with someone and explain the situation and they indicated they would have someone call me back. I waited for 3 days (it was over the weekend, after all) and never heard from anyone. So I called back - this time to voicemail - leaving a message re: the situation. The next day I called - same thing. Finally, a third call - again, with NO responses, I left yet another message. So, yeah - doing my small part... CAVEAT EMPTOR!!
Did KT ever get a road test and earn her TX drivers license? Even though she did not train through our Teen Drivers Ed program, we strive for everyone to have a positive experience. Students schedule appointments on our website through their student portal. We do not select the appointment date and time for you. System-generated responses are built into the software based on attendance. We are sorry that you did not get a timely call back during our busy holiday season, yet we spend most of our time in a vehicle driving with students, not on the phone. If KT still needs a road test, please call during office hours (10AM-6PM), (833) SLO-DOWN. Talk to a receptionist. Don't leave a voice mail. There are a finite number of road test appointments. 'No Shows' keep others from earning their Texas drivers license and waste the road tester's time. Our Mission: We Help Save Lives Everyday!
Fantastic experience: Ms becky is the best instructor I’ve ever met she is so professional I’ve had best experience with Ms Becky
All our instructors work hard to help you become a confident defensive driver.
Fantastic experience: I had lessons with Mr. Rogers and Mrs. B with both being very professional and calming. Their staff really allowed for the environment for me to be cautious and have fun driving at the same time. If you are a more of a go get it and high energy person, Mr. Rogers is very fun and his teaching is very straight forward. Mrs. B was chill and teaches more on methods and ways to remember things if you are more about remembering steps. As long as you actively ask questions and express concerns, they’ll directly tell you. 10/10 would recommend both of them and going to the school for lessons. The receptionist(s) are all very knowledgeable and quick. As for the road test I just took today, Ms. Harris was great. Yes, I was very anxious, but don’t be. She’s very straight forward with directions and offers tips at the beginning. Her debriefing is also very useful towards the end. I love their staff
We Love Our Students!
Fantastic experience: Mrs. B Games is an amazing teacher who is extremely patient about her job. She is extremely friendly and helpful. She makes the drivers feel very comfortable behind the wheels. I definitively recommend her!
Thank you for trusting A+ Academy Driving School for your driver safety.
Fantastic experience: Mrs. Becky was such an amazing teacher. Not only her tips and tricks in driving makes me a better driver, she also makes sure that i’m comfortable while driving. And a plus for her little stories making the lessons easier to remember and more interesting.
Driving is a life skill just like walking. We give you the opportunity to practice so you can become a confident, defensive driver.
Fantastic experience: The process from start to finish was extremely pleasant. Brenda was wonderful helping us set up my appointment. Everyone I spoke to was knowledgeable or could help me get the answers I needed, and Ms. Harris was a lovely instructor. I lament I don't remember the name of the lady who finished up my paperwork, but she was very helpful and made me feel like she was going thr extra mile. Awesome service all around.
Thank you! Our instructors and staff work hard to help you earn your Texas Drivers License.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, I had a Mrs. Becky she was a wonderful teacher , very patient, and great techniques , i felt so comfortable and would most definitely recommend her to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Man what a GREAT experience! I just passed my road test with Ms. Harris. She’s absolutely professional, clearly instruction and friendly all the time.

Fantastic experience: I love learning here and the instructors are great but Mrs. Games has the perfect technique of teaching for me I was able to learn so much by the first driving lesson and left happy and excited to keep learning definitively recommend!
We Love Happy Students! Please tell your friends!
Fantastic experience: This review is for Mr. T Rogers |||. He is an exceptional teacher/instructor! When I first arrived to the school I didn’t know what to expect. I was very anxious and nervous when it came to driving because of the “instructions” of my parents. He stripped all the nervousness and anxiousness away. He helped me become comfortable driving while of course being aware and cautious. And today I passed my road test because of his leadership! I just want to say thank you. I would wish in the future that he would do both driving sessions as well as road tests (because we need a pleasant and kind road test person).
Thank You for trusting A+ Academy Driving School for your driver safety program.
Fantastic experience: The driving test expert was so good and had such a calming personality that I never felt any pressure and drove naturally for the whole test. The reception staff was also quick and professional with their work. Would definitely recommend to others.
It takes a Great team to help you earn your Texas Drivers License. Please tell your friends.
Fantastic experience: Mrs.Games is a great instructor, she’s patient with her students and encourages us with our driving skills. If I had the choice I would’ve asked for her as a driving instructor for all of my lessons!
Thank you for trusting A+ Academy Driving School for your driver safety training.
Fantastic experience: Becky was able to portray how to me a safe drive on the road and it impacted me to take in her advice to become a more sustainable driver. Not only do I feel more comfortable and confident for the streets but I feel ready the highways as well. And I’m only in my second lesson, so I do feel she really understands what she’s doing as a driver and a teacher.
Driving is a skill to last a lifetime. Happy that you had a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test today! Had just booked for a road test . The instructor/examiner was really friendly and awesome ! The staff at the front desk is really friendly
Happy you had a positive experience. Drive safety & tell your friends.
Fantastic experience: The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have been very good at addressing anything that may come up. I reccomend this location specifically.
Thank you for your kind words. We work hard to help make everyone a safe, defensive driver.
Fantastic experience: I was really nervous the whole time, but it was a really good driving experience. I am in my mid 20s and am just learning how to drive. The teacher was really understanding and was a big help on the road.... I'm definitely going back next week
The more you practice defensive driving skills the more confident you will become.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my experience here I got a good instructor Sohel who was very patient and always ready to go the extra mile for me .

Fantastic experience: Ms.F jawad is the best instructor thank you so much !!!
We work hard every day to help make you a safe, defensive driver.
Positive experience: One of the best driving academies near to Dallas.
Thank you for your glowing recommendation!
Negative experience: I don't know where to start from. This place literally stole our money. $370 stolen from us. We paid the tuition required for behind the wheel sessions plus the road test. My wife got on the road during her first session and for her first time. She got into an accident by hitting the curb. Her instructor was not even there, she didn't even hit the brakes. My wife didn't hit one curb but two curbs which took about 4 seconds while the instructor's eyes weren't even on the road nor she hit the brakes at all. Our online account was disabled like an hour after the accident on the same exact day. They NEVER contacted us for anything. I went there twice to continue our sessions and schedule next ones but they never did. Every-time I go there, the lady there tells me the manager doesn't come here; she/he stays in Grand Prairie and she/he will contact you. Over two months now and we were never contacted nor our money was refunded. $370 FOR 30 MINUTES ON THE ROAD AND A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM ANGRY THAT I AM FORCED TO PUT ONE STAR.
Your wife caused $7,000 in damages to our vehicle by driving into a storm drain at the end of the lesson. You picked up your wife from the scene and you left the female instructor, on the side of the road, in 100 degree heat, waiting for a tow truck. The damaged vehicle was in the shop for two weeks, which inconvenienced ALL the other students already scheduled to drive. The balance to repair the vehicle, from the damage your wife caused, is $6,630.
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this, because they can take your road test, so you don't have to go to dps to take test and it only takes about 10 minutes to do the test.
Negative experience: Prepare for a long review! Definitely would not recommend this school for driving instruction. I am very confused on all the good reviews, but I am assuming they are mostly from people who have taken a DPS driving test here and not actually received driving lessons. I bought my brother the 5 lesson package and he said the first lesson with was not good, no active teaching going on and no feedback given at the end of the lesson. It seemed like we basically paid for someone to sit in the car with him while he drove around. I have driven with him several times so I KNOW he needs some teaching and feedback. We booked a different instructor for the second lesson and ended up with the same instructor we had before with no explanation on why the instructor we booked with was not doing the lesson. The second lesson with was even worse, he said the instructor had him stop to get her food DURING his lesson and she ate it in the car during the lesson. She would occasionally be on her phone when he looked over and there was still very little actual teaching done and no feedback at the end of the drive. This was all so disappointed since we paid $300 and my brother was very excited to get started. If we are paying for one on one lessons I think it is okay to expect full attention to be on teaching the student. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because they did refund us for the 3 lessons we did not end up getting, even though I really think we should have gotten a full refund because the first two lessons were basically nothing. We also never even got an apology when we called about this. I would say to try elsewhere for lessons.
On behalf of A+ Academy Driving School, we are sorry about this negative student experience. We do not condone this behavior. That instructor will no longer be working with our organization. For any other concerns, please call (682) 313-6839.
Fantastic experience: This was a great driving school! I had a few driving lessons with Ms. Birkeland and she was a very nice instructor. I took my driving test with Ms. Jawad. She made it easy and quick! If you are just in need of extra practice and are looking for a driving school with nice people this is the one for you!
Negative experience: My son took his test while the DPS was closed. The website promoted a temporary license in about a week with the license in the mail in two weeks. Today we found out it will be a total of two months until he gets it!! They did give us the paperwork to go to DPS but by then it was months to get an appt. Good experience with the test but the misinformation has been a nightmare. Information given may not be reality.
Fantastic experience: If you want to get your DPS road test done, this is the best place. I scheduled my test the day before and I was in and out in 30 minutes. A big shout out to Ms Jawad, she was very friendly and an amazing instructor. Also, a big shout out to the young lady at the reception, she was extremely patient and explained each step very clearly. Overall, a great experience and would definitely recommend this to everyone.
Negative experience: We took a driving test there on May 8th due to DPS being closed. We were told we would be emailed a temp license within the week and then receive his license in the mail in about 2 weeks. It has been almost 4 weeks and nothing!!! I got an email today saying they still have no record of his paperwork! I would like to say that this is the fault of DPS except I have 4 friends who went to Midlothian and mailed in their own paperwork and received their license in the mail in 2 weeks. Their kids took their test and mailed their paperwork in a week and a half after us and already have their license! We finally said screw it and have an appointment to go to our local DPS that has opened and do it all over again. When I call to ask questions they are EXTREMELY RUDE!!!!!! A total waste of time and money!!!!!!
We share your frustration with the DPS. Repeatedly telling you their temporary procedure during a state-mandated shut down, not the answer you wanted, does not imply rudeness by our staff. You had the option to take your documents on test day and wait for an unknown date for the DPS to reopen. The TX Dept of Public Safety abruptly closed to the general public for Class C road tests and licensing on Thurs, March 19, 2020 for 75 days until Wed, June 3, 2020, in the DFW Metroplex. Gov Abbott abruptly closed ALL schools on Fri, Mar 20, 2020 until Mon, May 4, 2020, for 60 days. When you came for a road test ALL DPS offices remained closed with NO advertised opening date for the general public to test or submit documents. A+ Academy Driving School provided curbside road tests, addressing health concerns with social distancing. We advertised the DPS temporary procedures to submit documents on our website. On the day of testing, you had the option to take your documents with you. We have no control over the DPS process. Once the DPS opened, after the 75 day closure, then securing an appointment, they can process your documents faster than when they were closed. The DPS does not take walk-ins. Third party providers can offer the DPS road test quicker than waiting for an appointment to test at the DPS. ALL our instructors and staff members are friendly, professional, and experienced to help meet your driver safety needs.
Negative experience: Money gone to waste all because of a rude instructor. As a student here we will obviously make mistakes and we shouldn’t be judged for them or feel bad for it especially in a rude manner. I don’t think all instructors are like that here but sadly I didn’t get a chance to be taught by the nice ones.
Hello Sasha, Not sure if you're looking at the right school. We don't have any students named Sasha. We haven't had any driving appointments since the state-mandated shut down Friday, March 20, 2020. If you had a problem with us, you need to mention the issue to a staff member during office hours. Unknown instructor causing your concern.
