Dawn Driving School

Fantastic experience: I went to Dawn Driving School a couple years ago when they were offering free driver’s ed lessons, Which in itself was such a great opportunity. The staff has always been super friendly and welcoming. I initially got my permit through them, And even after coming back a couple of years later to get my license, They were just as kind and professional. I always recommend Dawn Driving School to anyone looking to get their permit/license or driving lessons. They even made an accommodation for my driving test, Which I wasn’t aware of but truly appreciated since I’m always working. Their dedication to their students and willingness to go above and beyond is what sets them apart. Hands down one of the best driving schools in the state! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Teamir was super helpful! He was very thorough in his explanations of what was needed and what to expect. He was very sincere and his assistance is greatly appreciated!

Fantastic experience: Really good

Negative experience: Very bad place, their only goal is to exploit people. My advice is that no one should try this place.

Fantastic experience: I took my test here but didn't make it to DMV within the allotted time to get my DL. But that's not their fault it was mine. So now I have to retest and I am going to go back to this place because they were very kind and good at their jobs.

Fantastic experience: Ready to find, and the staff are very polite.

Negative experience: This place was well known but this days driving teacher will make you failed on purpose. My friend just failed the driving test because of teacher. From next time don’t come here.

Negative experience: Do not lose your money in this place. They are rude and liars

Fantastic experience: Very good service

Negative experience: Still ask people to wear mask and don’t care if the driver is pass make people come twice so they can get the money!!!

Negative experience: The owner/ employee’s are EXTREMELY rude.

Negative experience: Worst driving center .The instructer is very rude. If you want to spend money you can go there Do not watse your time and money in this driving center.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school. The staff was very friendly.the trainer was good and giving good suggestions. Definitely I recommend my freinds

Negative experience: Before taking my road test here, I thought the reviews are just overexaggerated however, after taking the test, I now realize that this business needs to improve. The instructor shouldn't let their bad days affect the people who just want to get their driver's license. Be aware of the old guy, he is rude, people cannot focus when you yell at them. I hate how the government doesn't allow us to take road tests for free like other states at the DMV. I feel unfair for the State of Colorado because of the Inflation. Every cost is rising (including fees to take road test at a driving school) but not the wages.

Negative experience: That old creepy guy is not fit for this job. He scare people and cause people to fail. That’s not how you run business.

Negative experience: the receptionist or what they call her ruined my day, I presented a California permit and she began to claim that this was not a permit at all, I asked to talk to my husband so that he would explain where it was written on these papers that this was a permit and she simply refused to do it. Below I will put a photo of the permit so I just turned around and left. As a valued Google local guider I can honestly say that this is the worst place you can spend your money. They even have no idea what a permit looks like, they don’t know the elementary rules and laws, which means they can’t teach you anything. The atmosphere in the office is also important, it was, to put it mildly, not clean and there was an odor

Negative experience: Not recommended. They will ripped your money and try to make you fail the test. This is what happened to my kid.

Negative experience: Horrible service

Fantastic experience: Honestly, after reading most of these reviews, I was even more nervous to take the test because I thought I would possibly fail and I thought I would get a bad experience. However, now I know never to trust the reviews fully because the instructor was actually the nicest man. He made conversation with me, and calmed me down to where I was able to drive so smoothly. If you know how to drive calmly and confidently, there shouldn’t be a problem. He was very clear in his directions and was helpful when I asked things. So if you’re deciding whether to take it here, i would recommend you to do so if you know how to drive.

Negative experience: They are very rude and zero customer service

Negative experience: This place should stop working. They are completely unprofessional people.

Negative experience: Very unprofessional, legally they oblige by all the state requirements but dealing with these people is the absolute worse. I would rather spend all day at the dmv waiting then come back here and deal with their lack of incompetence.

Fantastic experience: First of all the lady at the front was so sweet she reminded me of a mother and the guy that was doing the test we also very sweet I really enjoyed the service and I didn't feel soo much anxiety I had failed IOM driveing school because of something simple and I was very anxious I would recommend dawn driving school to anyone and everyone thank you I forgot to mention the testing car is a little outdated if that important for anyone and it cost 80$ to take the driver's test

Negative experience: Terrible . The customer service are very bad. It should not go there.

Negative experience: ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ Do Not Come Here!!! REVIEW FROM AN AFRICAN: This place is only out to rob customers of their hard earned money! They have zero customer service as they don’t introduce themselves nor do they give accurate directions to their location as the gps leads to the backside of the building thus having you stuck in a neighborhood. The instructor (The Old Man) was horrible as his attitude was very rude to begin before we even got into the car. Once we began driving, he gives instructions such as when to turn, etc too late. He makes you feel so uncomfortable in the car with him making little remarks that make you feel discouraged the entire time. After completing the test, he immediately failed me telling me that I need more practice. When I asked the reason for failing me, he said I did not stop long enough at the stop signs (which I did) and then said I was speeding which was yet another lie! When I asked where I was speeding and by how much I went over, he couldn’t give me an answer!! It is obvious that these people purposely fail you to get an extra $80 out of you. I found it funny that he asked me if this was my first time testing multiple times as I believe he wanted to make sure that he could make extra cash off of new student.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE THIS PLACE! I contacted Dawn Driving School around 3:39pm as I was issued a One-day permit from DMV and needed to test today. After contacting five or six other schools that advertise being open until 5 or 6p, I remembered visiting another driving school with a friend a few years before. I searched for third party driving schools of Yosemite and Colfax which brought up Dawn Driving School. The lady that answered the phone was very nice, professional and accommodating letting me know if I could make it in by 4:30, I could test there. Although there were several other people at the school I didn’t have to wait long to start my test. The schools employees are customer service oriented and extremely professional. I definitely recommend Dawn Driving School for all your DMV testing needs! ✌

Negative experience: The worst place just a quick story I booked my first driving test the guy would not give me time to do what’s right in stop sign when am about to it’s like go go then at the end is like you didn’t stop so rude as if not enough I a booked another class only to tell me other stories,,,the worst place I tore those papers caz it’s like he has issues for people who have’nt trained with him .so disappointing keeping in mind the money I have lost

Negative experience: Grade place to lose ur money they only let African people pass the test because they are from African to and the husband try to hit me I said ok call the police and the wife was not calling the police because it’s her husband fault those two people was very rude don’t ever go there if u want to waste ur money than go there.

Negative experience: Terrible customer service

Negative experience: The Tester is unconfidence

Fantastic experience: Great place to get your test done!!! Amazing instructors and they were super nice!!!

Negative experience: Very poor management and not professional at ALL .and the owner she is very rude.

Negative experience: Worst place to give a driving test. The instructor seemed intent to fail even before the test began. He really needs help! Unnecessarily rude and makes nonsensical comments

Negative experience: Worst experience! The person who took my test was very rude and he did not even explain my mistakes properly. Judging from his behavior it seemed he was not at all interested in taking the test and wanted to take the money!

Negative experience: The African dude in the office was very unfriendly and would not talk to you also did not introduce himself or anything he didn’t even want to take me on the drive test because he claimed my permit wasn’t valid till I clearly showed him that it wasn’t expired till 2023 and I felt like he didn’t want to take me on the drive he also started speaking another language so I couldn’t understand him would not recommend this place to no one he failed me and I felt like I did a great job .He also only asked me for a mask but when someone else that was also African came in he had no problem

Negative experience: The drive instructor is a weirdo I really didn’t like the vibe right when I walked in and he was trying to find excuses to not pass me didn’t even introduce his self and I lost 80$

Fantastic experience: The driver was very professional and made me feel comfortable. The lady who works in the front was very welcoming and polite. I highly recommend this place

Positive experience: Grateful for this establishment. Went here with my 16 year old, very clear directions on his permit testing,which he passed.Just be sure to ask the requirements before going in, like school ID/identification, birth certificate & DMV confirmation, etc. , which was needed prior to taking the test. Also it is $30. Thank you Dawson driving school!

Fantastic experience: I had to get a new driving test bc of some clerical issues at the DMV and I was able to get a same day appointment. Everyone was super friendly and the process was extremely smooth. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: This place was great! They made me feel very comfortable and safe. I was able to get right in! The people running it were so nice. Thank you for making it a welcoming experience!

Negative experience: IF YOU WANT TO GET TREATED BAD THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE ! THIS IS THE WORST PLACE TO DO A TEST !

Negative experience: THE WORST PLACE TO COME DO A TEST ! THE LADY INFRONT DID NOT WANT TO REGISTER ME TO DO THE WRITTEN TEST AND KEPT MAKING EXCUSES AND ASKING FOR DOCUMENTS THAT SHE DOSENT NEED TO SEE OR REQUIRED TO DO THE WRITTEN TEST ! AND AFTER IGNORED ME WHEN I ASKED QUESTIONS NICELY ! IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE 0 STARS THEY ARE RUDE AND TEST THE PEOPLE THEY WANT AND DISCRIMINATE THE REST!

Fantastic experience: Very nice people and they made me feel comfortable during my test.

Fantastic experience: Very professional. Clear directions on driving. Best advice is to study ahead and learn the neighborhood. Very fair testing. Gentlemen who I tested with was so pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Very polite, professional, direct, efficient, personable. Best driving school!!!!10/10

Fantastic experience: The best ever place recommended ❤ by a friend took someone today. I would recommend 1. Dawn now, 2. today,3.tomorrow and 4. future.Keep the spirit. Kudos

Negative experience: Very rude customer’s service, very unprofessional people and Corrupt people, never waste ur time here

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and kind people

Fantastic experience: Very good staffs and teachers are very supportive.

Negative experience: The woman on the phone was incredibly rude and unprofessional. She called me asking for my name laughing, didn't state who she was or why she was calling when I asked, and then proceeded to hang up the phone. When I called back she said she hung up because "it seemed like you didn't want an appointment" , when I asked her when the next available appointment would be she lectured me on how I was supposed to answer my phone, told me she had someone else on the line, and hung up again.

Fantastic experience: I have been here twice, once with my younger brother and myself both to take driver’s tests and we were treated respectfully and quickly. Driving instructor is great and let’s you know what you must improve on or did well on. Thank you Dawn Driving School. P.S. with COVID shutting down the DMVs this place was a blessing!

Negative experience: The black lady on the table does not know where she was doing if customers asked questions. She gets mad and aggressive. Definitely not recommended. It’s very expensive compare to other places plus poor customer services.

Positive experience: I passed my road test! After falling at IOM Driving school on June 4th, I scheduled an appointment here for the very next day. My instructor was extremely calm and patient with me. He made sure I was extremely comfortable, which I appreciated. Before the driver's test, I took on a lesson with an instructor a few weeks ago. He also was amazing and attentive. His main focus was controlling the vehicle and speed awareness. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: I recommend this place 10 out of 10 the customer service was great that instructor was very kind forgiving I recommend this place for anyone who wants a relaxed instructor and whos not mean and grumpy like other instructors!!! The other comments that I have read about this place that are negative are just people who didn't pass the test and are just butt hurt

Negative experience: Highly not recommended,if you don’t want waste your time and money !

Fantastic experience: Look no more...

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with these folks. Professional, tidy and very polite. They had their own vehicle so I didnt need to use my own for the test and I appreciated that. Again the vehicle was clean and all safety checks performed before leaving for the test. I set my appointment the same day, I was in and out in 30 mins. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Both people that I interacted with were, professional, respectful and friendly. I passed my driving test and the process was quick and efficient. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I took my driving test here and was very pleased by the exceptional customer service by the staff. I would recommend dawn driving to school to anyone who is looking for driver education or a drivers test!

Negative experience: Paid $30 for written test the DMV won't accept. They want more money for another test! Lousy customer service!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors. I got my permit, learned to drive, and took my license test there and it was all a great experience

Negative experience: My boyfriend called, was put on “hold” and hung up on. I called about an hour and a half later, the woman who answered said she was helping someone else and would call me back then hung up without even taking my number... If they don’t want to help their customers then they just need to be shut down.

Fantastic experience: The trainer is very patient and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Nice people, easy test.

Negative experience: Parking in front of fire hydrants?

Negative experience: The owner was very unwelcoming the first time I took my son to take his test. The second time was just as bad. TheThe woman was very unfriendly and rude. They hiked the price up by 5$ and charged 2$ for gloves to use while there. When I asked why, the husband was very aggressive with me telling me they they have to make up the money they lost during the pandemic. Which I understood, but the husband should have not been so aggressive with me as a woman. I felt they were much nicer to the Caucasian and Ethiopian customers. Also, Dawn's Driving school charges $28 to take the permit test and the DMV only charges 11$. Just so you know if you fail the test at Dawn's Driving school (even after you pay the 28$) you will still owe the DMV 11$ for that failed test. Dawn's Driving school should inform people of this. That is very UNETHICAL for them not to inform us of this. Please dont waste your time or money on this place.

Negative experience: The girl who answers the phone is super rude and this business must be closed. They are not professional at all especially the girl who answers the phone. They ran the business Somalian way. So if there are -20 stars I will give it to them. Stay away from this place

Fantastic experience: This is a really great place I passed the first time and everyone was very nice and very supportive ♥️

Negative experience: My girlfriend called to ask a simple question about a past appointment and the women over the phone was very rude to her. She refused to provide any help just because she was being lazy. The woman over the phone lacked basic professionalism and communication. I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Negative experience: Terrible place to go people very rude and unprofessional

Positive experience: Got driving test pass in first attempt. Instructor is super cool and honest.

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service

Negative experience: I don’t not recommend this place. This is my third time going there and they said I failed. I’m not being racist, this African guy front said it’s his first time taking the test and he passed. Im proud of him for passing, but I have been driving for 2 year and I everything he asked he said I was speeding. When I’m following the speed limit. You will just wast $60 or more from going to this place. I don’t not recommend going here. Unless you just want to spend $60 for failing.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people

Negative experience: This is the worst place to take driving test .The person who takes test don’t have patience to explain twice how the to go.And even he told me to I drive slow and when I speed up he told me I don’t speed up if you speed if you get ticket damn what you want me to do.the person who do driving test he just used your money he will only pass african people don’t go their you will just waste your 60 box. Never ever visit this place honestly I’m telling. When going to give test look for review always,this driving test has a. bad reviews but I wasted my money. Irritating person and racist.its batter go dmv and get driver license it’s free their but just need to wait for it

Fantastic experience: Good Place to do your driving class lessons. Staff is committed and supportive, guide us by understanding strengths and weakness.

Negative experience: Worst place ever people that work there cheat on the test if they don't like only the people the come from Africa past the test i did my test somewhere else and had no problem.

Negative experience: I don't know guys how other people experienced but my experience was frustrated,disrespect with customer,they even don't speak properly,i asked for water they aid get out from here next door is shop,really that's how their office is

Positive experience: The driving instructors and the lady in the office are all really nice. The office was really cold but they did have a small space heater on. The reason for the 4 stars is because the office furniture is really basic and outdated. Other than that, no problems arise. I will recommend this school to everyone. The testing cars they have are older toyota corollas and a Honda civic.

Fantastic experience: Great people..very friendly instructor.nice environment. I would recommend them a million times more.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people and their service is boosting the driving license process.

Fantastic experience: i got my license from here! i was very very excited with everything and they were very very friendly

Fantastic experience: Daniel is an amazing instructor, really friendly and makes you feel relaxed while you’re on the road. Explains things really well and teaches driving in a very safe manner. He builds your confidence in yourself,very calm and patient and trains you really well in a way you will find easy.I passed my driving test in first attempt. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone…

Fantastic experience: This driving school was great ! I got a written test and driving test done quickly with NO WAIT and fair prices and nice helpful staff !

Fantastic experience: I really appreciated how friendly the employees at this driving school were. I'd previously taken my driver's license test at the American Driving Academy in Aurora, and had a terrible experience there due to a tense, unpleasant person who tested me. At Dawn's Driving School I was treated with respect and kindness, this helped put me at ease for a test I was nervous about. I also liked how they were able to schedule my test quickly. I would definitely recommend this place over other schools in the area, based on my experience there.

Fantastic experience: I've been to thos place a few times I took my teenagers and for myself. The peopke that run this place are amazing very friendly and professional. We highly recommend this place

Negative experience: This is the worst place to take driving test .The person who takes test don’t have patience to explain twice how the to go. Never ever visit this place honestly telling. When going to give test look for review always,this driving test has v bad reviews but I wasted my money. Irritating person and racist.

Fantastic experience: I dont know why people are complaining about this place. They must be crappy drivers and failed. The people who run this place are very nice and professional. I did my driving test today. Had no problems. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Fantastic experience: It was the best place to take the test

Fantastic experience: I went to the DMV and failed my first road test , so I decided to try and re take my driving test else were , & being the fact they got me in the next day makes it that much easier and the instructor was super nice and I passed my driving test at Dawn Driving School with flying colors witch made me so happy being the fact my birthday is in two days ! 60 $ was well worth it to me so Id recomend this place as long as you do a good job on your test you have no worries !

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here. the driving instructor was very nice and answered all my questions. I moved to Denver with an expired license, my fault totally. I needed to take the behind the wheel exam, they got me in right away. I was a little hesitant because some of the negative reviews, I suspect these reviews are racial or religious intolerance based. Really nice people who were very helpful. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: nice people.

Negative experience: Took my daughter for her permit test and the customer services was so bad we left and went to DMV. I was planning on having her take driving classes here but after the extremely rude man wanted to talk over the lady helping us, I decided to take my business somewhere else. Apparently they feel it's okay to talk down to and degrade their customers. The lines at DMV were more pleasant than the jerk that runs this dump.

Fantastic experience: I passed on the fist try , I was very comfortable and it was extremely easy than the DMV

Fantastic experience: I am impressed by Dawn driving school ! They don't want you to be a driver but show you the secrets of becoming defensive driver. Gere the instructor is A++. I recommend Dawn driving school .

Fantastic experience: The service was good and "Gebre" is a wonderful driving instructor,he teaches very well.i'm so happy of this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Nice people and informed on what to do. Y'all saying bad shi* about the place it s because YOU failed and now taking it out on them dumass.

Negative experience: Worst place. Dont ever dare to try this.

Fantastic experience: Judging by the reviews, the only logical explanation for anyone to provide a 1-star rating is because they failed the test. Perhaps rightly so too. This is because the staff are honest, they work very hard, and they conduct the work in exactly the manner they're required. A good place for anyone that has any requirements to fulfill with drive training and satisfying driver's license requirements.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff at Dawn driving school was exceptional. Gabriel was very patient with my son and took his time with the lessons. I would recommend others to this establishment.
