Fantastic experience: Olympic Driving School is wonderful. The staff are all professional, friendly, and responsive. Terri Reed was the main private instructor our son had, and she is amazing. She helped him to be calm and confidant and to learn the things he needed to pass the test. He also had one drive lesson with Tom Babbit, who is also very supportive and encouraging. We highly recommend this school!

Fantastic experience: I got my drivers license today because of Terri Reed!!! She seriously is one of the best drivers instructors I’ve ever encountered. I’ve done over 10 private driving lessons with her and if you have anxiety about driving she helps you through that. I was born and raised in nyc and I took trains everywhere. I really doubted myself when it came to learning how to drive. She was always so calm and understanding with me. Terri really gave me a boost of confidence to get out on the road and trust myself! She truly cares about her students and the safety of others! I couldn’t have done it without her! I would also love to thank Steve for always being so helpful and kind with helping when it came to scheduling. The staff is so respectful and kind!

Fantastic experience: I just got my driver's license thanks to Terri Reed!!! As a neurodivergent person with severe anxiety, I was too scared to practice driving until I was 27. Terri gave me a lot of confidence-building lessons, which not only helped me become a safer driver but also improved my overall confidence. I always doubted myself growing up, but thanks to Terri, I became more confident and learned to trust myself. Terri was highly accommodating and kept changing her teaching style and methods until we found an approach that worked for me. Thanks to her, I learned to process my surroundings and translate my thoughts into actions. I learned things about myself I didn't know during the process. I'm always amazed by how astute and flexible she is. But what stood out to me the most was her genuine care for her students and everyone’s safety. She has a big heart, and she remembers her former students and worries about them. She also made sure I got my money's worth out of every lesson. I don’t think I could have gotten my driver’s license with any other instructor. I also took a lesson with Ana Torres, and she was fabulous as well. I really appreciated Steve and Brandon’s help with administrative matters—they were so respectful and kind. I’m so grateful to the teachers and staff at this driving school. :)

Negative experience: If i could put 0 stars i would, the instructor for the written test will fail you every-time no matter how many times you thoroughly look at the trick questions, answer differently, no matter how much studying you do your gonna get a fail every-time, this facility has a habit of money grabbing and covers it up by passing a few select of students to get by, you take away the retake policy after i paid $35+ to take the written test while also promising a retake everytime i pay, ill take my business elsewhere and go to shady shack and get my licence the same day dont waste your time nor your money here the service is terrible

Thank you for confirming that we hold ourselves to the highest level of standards and ethics, and that we’re not one of those “shady shacks” where you can just walk in and out with a license in the same day. Wow, what a damning admission from this reviewer! But, to clarify for other readers, our Knowledge Exam proctors do NOT have the ability or authority to selectively pass or fail exam applicants. The only way an applicant can fail their Knowledge Exam is by demonstrating a lack of knowledge through too many missed answers on the multiple-choice exam. In other words, the person taking the exam is wholly responsible for the outcome of their exam. In this case, the reviewer is taking no accountability for their lack of preparation and/or understanding of the required material, and instead they are choosing to deflect blame onto people who literally have no control over whether or not someone passes the State’s exam (we don’t write the tests; the Department of Licensing writes them and we grade them). If you don’t think a human should grade your test, we conveniently offer an online version of the same exam whereby it is graded automatically by the system. And, we offer it for even cheaper than the paper exam! You can even use your own device so you know there is no tampering. Again, however, this reviewer is simply unhappy that they didn’t pass their test and wants us to be at fault when in reality that simply isn’t possible.
