Independent Driving School: Reviews
Negative experience: First of all, I was hoping to obtain a road test appointment here because they claim to provide vehicles for the test, and the location is next to a bus stop. However, after repeatedly calling and texting them (many times leaving voicemails), they still haven't gotten back to me to schedule an appointment. The only option to contact them is through a phone number and calling and texting only that phone number. There is no way to email them, or even register for a test through a form on their website. Secondly, all other driving schools charge around $50 for a scheduled in-advance road test. At Independent Driving, they charge $70 and claim that you're saving $10 from their "original" $80 fee. The price isn't worth the months that are wasted trying to schedule an appointment, even though they provide a vehicle for the test. If you're hoping to obtain your driver's license in less than a couple of months, do not attempt to schedule a road test appointment here. If you really do want to take a road test here, no matter what requirements you still have to complete, schedule an appointment as soon as you obtain your learner's permit.
Fantastic experience: Jackie is probably the best teacher or person I’ve met he’s blunt and to the point but instructional on how and why he says things. He can be hard to understand sometimes but he makes up for that with his jokes which aren’t the funniest but they definitely make you laugh
Negative experience: They never respond and are very rude. Don’t waste your money
AnnDee, we had your son scheduled and set up for driving lessons without any issues until you were unable to pay the tuition. I'm sorry we are not able to fulfill services without payment. We wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Jackie was great with me. He’s direct and blunt, but also very kind and respectful, which is exactly what every kind of driving student needs. Even after taking my lessons in April, the core principles he taught me were still apparent during my test. I would definitely recommend this driving school, more specifically him. Even the driving school i took my driving test with said he was great. Awesome dude.
Fantastic experience: The personal here is very kind, they make you feel comfortable during the driving test and all the time. They also have Spanish speakers so it was helpful for me
Thank you for your kind words!

Fantastic experience: Jackie really helped me learn what I need to practice and how to do things I struggled with. He was very direct and patient with me. Thank you Jackie
Negative experience: They’re only open 3pm -6pm. I called couple of times but no one was answering during their office hours or before that. However, I received a text message from them, so I asked my questions, no reply. A month later, I texted them again about my questions, they replied 3 days later. I then sent my registration for the driving course but still no response/further instruction 9 days later. Communication is worst. Not gonna recommend since nothing happened.
Fantastic experience: Jackie was extremely patient and gave very clear and helpful instruction. Provided both positive feedback and constructive criticism. So glad we went with Independent Driving School for my daughter's driver's education.

I feel like I learned a lot, and am fully prepared to take my test! Thanks Jackie!!

Fantastic experience: The lady my daughter tested with was so kind and bent over backwards to make her comfortable and not nervous. She assured that they would've go on really busy streets but in neighborhoods. Since the testing place is near State Street in Orem, that was very relieving. She was nervous at first, but she came back confident and smiling.
