First Time Driver: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great driving school with great teachers! Passed on my first try!
Fantastic experience: Very good!! I had a great time in my first class. The teacher Mark Anderson was super helpful. He explained everything very well and he gave details on every possible situation.
Fantastic experience: Such a great facility! They were all so proficient in teaching our kid so they were set up to pass! Would highly recommend First Time Driver!!
Fantastic experience: I had a great time in this class. The teacher Roger Perez was super friendly and super helpful. He explained everything really well and he gave details on every situation. He was also very funny and I enjoyed him sharing stories with us to make the class more interesting. Nobody wants to sit there for three days but he was able to make my time worth it.
Fantastic experience: The staff here were very professional, friendly, and my instructor Roger was excellent and very informative, explained everything clearly and he was definitely a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience with First Time Driver. First, everyone including the owner is really nice and helpful. My daughter attended the in person classes. However, she struggles with education of any kind and had trouble passing the DMV test. They offered her to come back and audit the classes again at no cost. This did the trick. She passed! We continue to work with them thought the behind the wheel process. 100% recommend them for you first time drivers needs.
Fantastic experience: Roger was really helpful i didn’t understand somethings at first but then roger showed me how to do them instead of just telling me how to do it definitely recommend taking your teen here
Fantastic experience: My son just passed his behind the wheel test with ease. The DMV employee gave him a perfect score/no errors during his drive and she said that is very rare she gives a perfect score. We want to thank all the instructors that helped him. He thought they were all nice and helpful. His favorite though was his last instructor, Roger….Thank you First Time Driver!! He was so nervous but you all helped put him at ease and gave him confidence in his driving.
Negative experience: If you're going through a rough time in life right now but you scrape together the money for your child to take their driving lessons, I want you to know about how helpful this place is beforehand. We were running late for my son's 2nd appointment and I called in 10 minutes before, because everything was just going wrong for me. But I called in and was informed that my child will not be able to reschedule until I come in and pay a $50 cash cancellation fee. Whelp, that'll be a couple months at least, we can barely afford our bills let alone another fee to you guys. I tried to be a decent person and call them but I will never go to this place with my other 2 kids. They really were not there to help us, couldn't work anything out with me. Thanks Drive Time.
Negative experience: My oldest used their service when they were ready to drive everything went great so we used them for our second child. It is taking a month in order to get the behind the wheel drive to make the learners permit valid. Knowing this, I wish we’d of gone elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Brenda is the best teacher a new driver can have. She is kind, patient and puts her foot down when needed. She goes above what is expected from a drive teacher. I got the two hour drive lesson with her and by the end of it I was much more confident in my ability as a driver. I 100% recommend using First Time Driver and specifically with Brenda.
Fantastic experience: Teachers are amazing and the class is awesome as well.
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn the best driving technique and knowledge. I highly recommend this driving school for first timers. The people are so nice and they know their stuff. All they want is for you to succeed. Thank you guys so much!
Fantastic experience: Great service and every instructor I had took great care of me! They taught me everything I need to know to become a safe driver and to pass my drivers test! They are very caring and are determined to help you. I even passed my drivers test knowing their tips and tricks. I now feel confident and comfortable on the road! :)
Positive experience: Lessons were good. I haven't taken my driving test yet though. I don't think I'm going to pass. I'm feeling really discouraged and not ready. I needed more practice but I don't have anyone to practice with, and tried to get more lessons before my test but there weren't any available. This whole process has been challenging and I'm frustrated that I'm probably not going to pass my driving test after all of this. I've been very tempted to cancel and am surprised I haven't. I'm now looking for lessons at another driving school, to see if they can squeeze me in before my test. I feel extremely discouraged. I want to give up on this now more than ever.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test first try! All of the people there really prepared me well, and all wanted me to pass. They are all very sweet.
Fantastic experience: Today was my last drive and I had 2 amazing instructors!! Bob and Richard are the best, if you get them, you’re going to be amazed of how much they care. They were really patient, calm, cool, and very forward on what needed to be worked on and how to do things the correct way. I felt very confident, calm, and happy around these instructors because they knew what they were doing. There’s only 1 instructor I ran into and there was an incident with being stressed and freaked out (not going to say who) but overall this is an amazing place with amazing people and things were fixed!! If you ever come here enjoy every moment because it’s a beautiful feeling to take all the knowledge and practice with you. The quality time spent on a drive is also perfect for a day. Everybody presented themselves in a professional way and a good communicating matter. Like I said today was my last day and this place will be good memories to me, starting was just like yesterday.
