911 Driving School of Port Orchard: Reviews
The most recent reviews on Google
Negative experience: My kid as taken the test 5 times off by 2 to 3 points and they give 3 tests that is insanity yup retired cops still power tripping not cool and my kid comes out of there crying truthfully very unprofessional and very disgusted with that.
Negative experience: I had a lot of subjective mistakes on my drivers test, I think were ridiculous and think the individual I tested with was really looking for reasons to talk down to me and feel like they were above me, not to encourage safer driving.
Fantastic experience: Great driver's ed course! The instructors are experienced and skilled in working with new drivers. They are well-acquainted with driving laws, since the instructors have all been police officers. I highly recommend this driving school.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school, I had Mr. Alan Barber as my instructor and tester. You will find incredible insight and tips for driving if you come here. There was a small mistake involving a knowledge test I took expiring but the staff went above and beyond to fit me in to be able to take my driving test I had scheduled. Thank you all for your hard work.
Negative experience: The unprofessionalism is real. I went here for classes as a teen and I don’t remember much, but 1 year ago I took the test twice to get licensed and it was awful. The instructor rescheduled on me at the last minute and then was at times very hostile and inappropriate with me during our drive. Laughing, jeering, scoffing at very minimal mistakes such as leaving my blinker on a few seconds too long. I ended up failing the first time by about 3 points or so, and crying my eyes out. I was a 22 year old woman at the time, I struggle with ADHD, and I think this establishment is bordering on unsafe for young people when instructors are allowed to say and do just anything to young people who are already possibly scared/uncomfortable. I think that my specific instructor (not all I’m sure) really leaned into the expected behaviors of an aggressive, hostile old retired cop who still wants to bark at people and make them feel small somehow while on the clock. This is the same instructor there are multiple bad reviews about. I’ll also add that my boyfriend left 911 a bad but honest review after hearing all of this from me, and they responded by blasting out his PERSONAL INFORMATION that they got from estranged family members with the same last name who they found in their system. That was shocking to me!!! So privacy and personal information are also not respected here, in addition to people’s right to basic human respect. Lame and sad.
Dear CM, I would love to speak to you about this review. The incident appears to be from over a year ago. Did you try and contact a manager or owner then, so I can attempt to look it up? I would also like to discuss an apparent review left by your boyfriend with possible personal information attached. ??. We do not have the same skills testing Examiner at this location from a year ago. We would love to fix any situation that arises at the driving school. Regarding your claims about us being "unsafe" are completely unjustified. I assure you as a licensed driving school and Instructor for over 18 years, that the school is safe and licensed and audited each year by DOL. We have had thousands of successful new drivers complete our program over the last 18 years. We have also had thousands of testing applicants successfully past their DOL written and skills tests at our location without incident. Again, we would love to try and fix any situation or problem that a customer has but we would need to know specifics and in a timely manner to be able to do that. Please call the school and ask to speak to a manager or owner to discuss this further. Thank you.
