Fantastic experience: My husband tool both knowledge and skill tests there. His skill test was conducted by Jim Green. He was very kind, passionate and respectful. My husband failed the first test for making couple of serious mistakes that could have caused an accident. Mr Green took the time to explain him what mistakes were made and how to practice to overcome these issues. We practiced driving for a week and my husband passed the second skill test. I can say enough about Mr Green. He is a very good teacher and kind person.

Fantastic experience: My daughter took the online classes and scheduled drives with the Lynnwood branch. She enjoyed the online classes, and the driving instructors Charlene and Verla were excellent!

We haven't taken the written or skill tests yet, but have done 4 out of 5 scheduled drives and all the online classes and so far it has been great.

Thank you, Mahesh.
Positive experience: Rate would have been higher but I paid for this course about 2 years ago for my girlfriend and she didn't have a permit and she got the 30-minute warm up and took her test no problem I just did the same exact thing and they said I couldn't take the 30 minutes warm up because I didn't have a permit but you can't get a permit unless you're 15 to 17 years old so I feel like I got overcharged
Hi Jeffery. While I'm not sure what occured 2 years ago, we're not allowed by the DOL to provide a lesson without a learner's permit. We strive to ensure that our clients are aware of this in our enrollement terms and appointment reminders, but it appears that we didn't do enough. Permits are allowed for people above the ages of 15 to 17 though. Congratulations on passing your test with a 90.
Fantastic experience: I would so recommend this school ! The instructors are awesome ! Great place
Thank you, Jennifer. We're so thankful you chose us for your Traffic Safety needs.
Negative experience: After you complete the course your calls go unanswered. The school does not submit the completion paperwork for the DOL so you cannot take the licensing exam. Two of our children have gone through this course and they both tell us that they don’t want their siblings to go here.
Fantastic experience: I took a class at this location. Doug was my instructor. He is very professional, straight forward, kind, understanding and very patient. He helps you build the courage you will need to learn how to drive. Overall for me Doug is the person to go in this location. I just passed my test a couple of days ago.
Thank you for your kind words, Kathleen. We too think Doug is excellent.
Fantastic experience: Learned how to drive here and got my license here about 4 years ago. Verla is a really awesome instructor. I also learned the backroads around the area which would help me avoid rush hour traffic. I would totally recommend this place for all people who want to drive. Thank you Verla!
Thank you for your kind words regarding Verla. She has been with us more than 20 years and we are thrilled that you had an "awesome" experience.

Fantastic experience: I waited until I was 20 to learn how to drive, and only then because I absolutely had to. Astrid helped me overcome the fear of driving from Day 1. She's very personable and instills confidence in her students no matter what background they come from. If you're trying to learn on your own with little to no success, consider lessons here. It was worth the investment for me.
Fantastic experience: Much knowledge was gained.
Fantastic experience: I love Astrid, excellent (%) instructor for my driving lesson today :-) she taught me how to parallel parking and backing around a corner, check the blind spot when preparing to change lanes or turn.
