Negative experience: very shitty service never answers the phone makes it 100x more difficult to schedule an appointment,do not recommend
If you are talking about Mr D’s in Kilgore, you should leave a message and we call you back. we can only answer one call at a time. If you left a message, then we are working on calling you back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but your language is not necessary. We are a Christian and family oriented business and work very hard to provide excellent service to all.
Fantastic experience: I'm Larry I took my son there this morning. I can say the visit was nice and easy going.
Thank you Mr Anderson! We appreciate you choosing us and it was a pleasure meeting you and Luka.
Fantastic experience: Great availability and prices. Just did a road test, was very nervous but instructor was both kind and professional. It was a very thorough examination but it was kind and straightforward. Would recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. We truly appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: What a nice experience everyone was so nice and respectful wish the woman at the Dps office would take some notes from Mr D's receptionist Aamie. well worth the money. Walter was such a nice instructor made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. Will be back in 4 years when it's my son's turn. Thanks Mr D's!
Thank you for this amazing review! Aamie and Walter say thanks as well. It is our pleasure to serve the community in this capacity.
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic business; helpful, charitable, diligent, and dedicated. There is no better experience for your new driver.
Thank you Mr. Tafuro!
Fantastic experience: Walter was the best. I had to retake my test there and he was so much nicer and relaxed than the dps office. He explained stuff just enough to point me in the right direction but not just telling me what to do
Thank you Chevy! We appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: Walter is the best teacher ever! He explained everything simply and made it the easiest process to get my license!
Thank you for the review on Walter. I know he really appreciates your kind words. We thank you for allowing us to help with your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: Over the years I have heard many good things about the people here. I chose to take driving lessons even after I had obtained my license, and each one was very informative and beneficial. Walter is an absolutely fantastic teacher who demonstrated skill, knowledge, and patience. It was absolutely worth an hour’s drive.
Thank you so much! We are so thankful you chose us. Walter is amazing and loves helping our students succeed. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: Updated my review to 5 stars because of the response of my dissatisfaction. They reached out to make this right and for that alone is worth the 5 stars.
Hello Jessica, I’m sorry you feel that way. What location and service are you referring to so we can try to make it a better experience for all. Are you referring to Mr D’s in Kilgore? Are you referring to the Third Party Road test?
Fantastic experience: My daughter took her driving test with Walter and he was very kind,patient and helpful. She was very nervous but he was very understanding and she felt very comfortable with him.
Thank you! We appreciate being a part of this huge step!
Fantastic experience: If I could give Mr D’s 1000 stars, I would! Truly an amazing experience for anyone who needs to take their driving test. I was super nervous for my test, but Walter completely put me at ease and built my confidence up so much. He helped me with parallel parking using his fail-proof technique, and gave me lots of tips and advice on how to improve my driving. As someone who learned to drive in a different country and moved to the US in recent years, he was able to speak into the differences when driving in the US and explained everything so clearly. Walter has a heart of gold, and is incredibly patient and personable. In fact, all of the team I encountered at Mr D’s were so friendly, especially the lady at reception. Great job Mr D’s - you guys know what you are doing and do it incredibly well! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! We love what we do at Mr D’s. Walter and Aamie are amazing and truly care about everyone who comes to us for help, whether it be tutorials, road tests, or simply needing information. We are very happy you had a good experience and was able to take away something that would help you. Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for choosing Mr D’s!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful people for a 3rd party road test. I highly recommend!
Thank you! We appreciate you allowing us to be a part of this huge step, and than you for taking time to review.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Mr. D’s. Classwork with Aceable and then the driving test with Mr. Ds. Our instructor Walter was patient and kind. He made the test less stressful.
Thank you for your kind words! It was nice meeting you and will hopefully see you out at Lake Fork sometime. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: I went to take my drivering test today and I was extremely nervous especially for the parallel parking part but Walter was my driver instructor and he made it so much easier on me, he assured me before we even hit the road on what to be very cautious about. Overall it was a great experience and there really is no reason to be nervous especially if Walter will be your driving instructor!!! Amie was a very big help in the process of scheduling my appointment and very patient when it came to all the paperwork I needed in order to take the test
Thank you Alondra! We appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs. We are very blessed to have Walter and Aamie on our team.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Mr. D's driving school. As a beginner, I have many things that I need to improve in driving. Mr. Mackenzie thought me a lot of proper ways on driving and techniques in easiest way. Some points of view to remember to where it makes it more easier to do. He also have lots of patience and he will make sure that you will gonna be a better driver after your schooling at Mr.D's. Thank you so much Mr.Mackenzie! And to Ms. Aimee thanks for being so approachable and nice. God bless y'all and more power Mr.D's!
Thank you! Walter and Aamie are amazing and we are blessed to have them both on our team. We appreciate you taking time to share. God bless!
Fantastic experience: I recently came in for a drive test and let me tell you I would absolutely recommend this place over any other place. It is strikingly different from a test at the DPS office, and a much better experience. Mr. Mackenzie was an incredible instructor, and you WILL learn from him. There is nothing to lose! Highly recommended!
Thank you! We appreciate your business and taking the time to share. We enjoy what we do, and are very blessed to be able to serve our community in this capacity.
Fantastic experience: Great place for student drivers! Our daughter loved the people here. They make learning fun.
Thank you! We appreciate you choosing us and taking the time to leave a review. We are blessed by our students. It’s so amazing we get to do this kind of work with so many wonderful people.
Fantastic experience: Eye-opening experience compared to the DPS. This is honestly an extraordinary option for teen drivers looking for a driving test or driving school. I had a road test with Mr. Mackenzie and he was a very professional and understanding guy. He is very stern and straight-forward all for good reasons, I came to respect him within minutes. All he wants is the best of the people driving on these roads and for you. It was definitely very nerve-wracking but Mr. Mackenzie taught me things about driving and honestly a little about my character even if it was unintentional. All love and respect goes out to him. Thank you again Mr. Mackenzie, I had fun.
We thank you for your review, and your business. We know you have options and you choosing us is a true blessing. We are very grateful that Walter is on this team. He definitely brings a higher level of instruction.
Fantastic experience: Aloha everyone!!! I absolutely recommend Mr. D'S Driving Center! Walter was my instructor for 10 hours!! I couldn't have picked a better school and Driving instructor! Walter is hands down such amazing and PATIENT instructor. EVERYONE is so very nice in the office as well. Mahalo Mr. WALTER, MS. Aimee
Thank you! We appreciate the opportunity to help with your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: I had a driving test today with Walter. It went smoothly and at the end he gave me tips on what I needed to work on. Yes I passed, and very much quicker process than dps. Next day appointment for me after calling. Also what caught my eye is the stand with a stack of bibles free to whoever wanted them and scripture through out. Loved seeing that. Thank you Mr Ds
Thank you for choosing us, and thank you for the kind words. God is good!
Fantastic experience: I am new to Texas and was feeling very overwhelmed and confused by the parent taught process. We were ready to just pay this school to take care of it all for us. Amy walked me through everything and helped me understand the process and how drivers ed works in Texas. She was so helpful that I was able to figure out the parent taught program. They are not just out to take your money. She really cared and helped me. I will recommend this school to everyone who needs one. Should we ever need one in the future, this is where we will be going. Thanks Amy!
Thank you! Aamie is very knowledgeable and truly feels led to help others. We are very blessed to have her on our team. We appreciate your kind words and your support.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Mackenzie was amazing, very patient and profesional!!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback!
Fantastic experience: Great place; two of my daughters have taken their driving test here. Really great staff and service. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the kind words and choosing us to help with your driving needs. May God bless you and yours. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
Fantastic experience: I took my driving test today with Mr. Mackenzie. He was so so nice and really eased my nerves before we began! We even tricked my mom into thinking I failed for the fun of it. Pleased to say, I passed. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to my friends getting their license soon!
Thank you so much for the kind words and we truly appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: Wish I could give them more than five stars. Aamie and Walter were amazing and we appreciate all they did as we worked around some health issues my son was dealing with. Mr D's is great.
Thank you! Aamie and Walter are wonderful. We are blessed to have them on our team. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here and every part of driver education was the tops!! Thank you Mr. D
Thank you! We truly appreciate you choosing us.
Fantastic experience: I went to Mr. D's to get a class, a tutorial, and then my driving test. I had a great experience with both of my instructors. They were kind, knowledgeable, and focused on my learning more than anything else. Mr. Mackenzie was incredibly understanding and kind. He is also a great teacher. Even after I get my driver's license I plan to get some lessons at Mr. D's Driving Center. Thank you so much Mr D's Driving Center, you have been a blessing to me.
Thank you! We appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs. We are so lucky to have Walter on our team.
Fantastic experience: Everyone up here is so kind and helpful! Skip the mess of the DPS!
Thank you! We appreciate you choosing us for your driving needs
Fantastic experience: took my driving test here with Walter Mackenzie and it was very informative and helpful!
Thank you for your kind words. I will let Walter know.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Mackenzie was incredibly nice and understanding for my drivers test. He was very kind during the test to make sure I was ok with what I was doing I would recommend Mr.D’s driving school to anybody who I know who needs to take the driving test.
Thank you for the kind words. We are blessed to have him on our team. We appreciate your business and sharing your experience with us.
Negative experience: Well seeing how someone was driving there student driver car #1 this morning in Tyler, NEVER used their blinker once while changing lanes plus speeding through a school zone, I will never send my kids somewhere, where instructors don’t do the right thing. No wonder Tyler has horrible drivers, the instructors don’t even follow the rules.
Negative experience: I am writing to express my disappointment and disgust with the unprofessional conduct of Mr. Mackenzie, a driving instructor at Mr. D's Driving Center. My girlfriend took a driving test with Mr. Mackenzie. During the test, Mr. Mackenzie made derogatory and offensive comments to her, such as "You don't know what you're doing" and "You don't have the knowledge to drive here." He also dismissed her questions and became increasingly annoyed when she asked for clarification. Mr. Mackenzie's behavior was not only unprofessional but also completely unacceptable. It is the responsibility of a driving examiner to provide constructive feedback and guidance to help students become safe and confident drivers. Mr. Mackenzie's comments were belittling and discouraging, and they left my girlfriend feeling humiliated and traumatized.
Mikel, Thank you again, for your feedback. Walter is a great person and an outstanding instructor/examiner. I am very fortunate to have him on my team. As I stated in our correspondence, he would never intentionally say anything to offend anyone and there was obviously a misunderstanding. He has a duty to explain test results, good and bad. He cannot teach during a road test. He has an excellent record and has many positive responses from our amazing customers. As I requested before, please have her call me to discuss. I would really like to hear directly from her about her experience, and see if we can help with her driving needs. Also, our door is open from 9am -5pm, Mon- Thu and 9am-3pm on Fri. Feel free to stop by and discuss in person as well. As always, we seek to provide honest and professional services to all, and we absolutely love our students.
Negative experience: I would give zero stars if I could
Hello, I cannot find your name, Cetin, in our files. Are you sure you are talking about the driving center in Kilgore Texas? If so, what is the student’s name and what is your complaint please? I would really appreciate knowing what we could do better to serve our customers. Thanks in advance for your response, Donnie Bozant Owner Mr D’s Driving Center Kilgore, Tx 903-984-3843
Fantastic experience: Great place wonderful friendly people..
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great place to do the drivers test, took both of my children at age 16 and the instructor was friendly and made them feel comfortable.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Best driving school in town. Had my driving tutorial and test done by Walter, it was a great experience learning road rules here in the US, he made sure i understand road safety rules and gave me guidance when i needed. This driving school is staffed by friendly and accomodating employee. Will definitely recomend this.
Thank you! We appreciate your kind words and are very thankful you chose us for your driving needs.
Fantastic experience: Really great people and easy to get to
Thank you for choosing us! We enjoyed visiting with you and thankful that God is continuing to heal.
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough great things!! They made what was an unending process with the DPS a breeze!!! Thank you guys so much!!!
We thank you! We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
Fantastic experience: Mr. D's makes the process so much easier and less stressful for student's than the DPS. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the great review!
Fantastic experience: Best place to take your roadside test if you would prefer a personal touch. You have the option of using your own vehicle and there are fees for services. Services vary so be sure to call for options. Unfortunately, the web site is not as user friendly as it could be. Walter and Regina are extremely helpful and personable instructors. My personal experience aligned with Walter, he's kind, patient, yet stern. Both instructors provide guidance. Regardless of age, this establishment is thorough and they take their responsibility seriously. The building is small, appointments are necessary and required, but the quality of the experience is unmatched. Some other schools make you feel like a number, these instructors respect you as an individual and allow you to leave more knowledgeable than when you entered.
Thank you Leanna! We truly appreciate your kind words and we are so very thankful to have Walter and Regina on our team. They really make a difference. As for the website, we are currently working on activating online scheduling for all of our services. Our Teen Drivers Education classes are active now and you are able to schedule and make payments online. I am currently working on activating online scheduling for our Third Party Road test services. Once we get a handle on these, we will move forward with the remaining services that we provide. It is a work in progress, and we are blessed to have such wonderful customers that help us grow and become better each day by providing feedback that we can use to improve our services.

Fantastic experience: Mr. D’s is a great school staffed by outstanding people. Walter was my wife’s teacher and she couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He was patient and willing to take all the time needed for her to get her license. This is the place to go to learn to drive.
Thank you for the kind words! Mr. D's is fortunate to have Walter on staff. He has many years of experience in this industry and truly loves what he does. He is one of our many excellent instructors who also love what they do and are ready to help our communities become safer and better drivers.

Negative experience: That good pack
Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: I am the primary driving instructor for my teen, wanted to give her a different perspective & Mr. D's provided that & more. Friendly, professional office to greet clients & the hours spent on the road gave her a boost in confidence as well as teachable moments. Well worth the drive from Bullard to provide this learning experience that is of upmost importance for the safety of teen drivers.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Fast, prompt, and welcoming. The lady was very sweet and made us feel equal not under them as the dps does.

Fantastic experience: Emily scheduled my appointment. Brenda was the examiner. Brenda had clear cut instructions. I was confident. Brenda knows her job well. Thank you.
Ms. Swaim, you were speaking to me, the owner of the business. I was trying to explain how we schedule our tutorials when you hung up on me. I'll need more time than a thirty second phone call to do that. We are a service business and schedule our clients in the order that they register. If you call my office and leave a message for me, I'll gladly call you back within one business day to fully explain the process and see how we may help you. Mr. D.
Fantastic experience: AWESOME!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so very nice and makes it so much easier for a teen to take their driving test without pressure like they would get at the dmv. Very much recommend.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Very caring, compassionate people. Patient and understanding of teen drivers. Commiuntate with your teen to give them constructive criticism. No rudeness and lack of personalityl ike you get at the DMV. When you first walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and caring attitude. They have worship music playing, which is calming. They also had a book shelf with free Bibles to take if needed. Christian environment. Would highly recommend this place for taking your teen for their road test. We did the parent taught online course. We didn't use them for that. But I am sure they would be amazing if you prefer someone else than yoursel to teach your teen. Definitely use them for your teen. Thanks Mr D's for making my teens experience calming and amazing!!!
Fantastic experience: Mr.D & Mrs.Regina have got to be some of the nicest people I have ever had the pressure of dealing with while inside a business. From the moment we walked in the door for my son to have a lesson then take his test, to the tile we left to go get his Lisence after passing his test. They made sure we were prepared through the entire process. Called before I was suppose to call myself and took the time to get us scheduled and paid for so the process was smoother and faster when we show up. I enjoyed talking to Regina while waiting there for my son to get back from his lesson and test.. it felt more like sitting there and catching up with or talking with a friend more then just meeting a stranger and talking for five minutes. My son said he felt so comfortable and was so excited Mr.D made it easy and fun. Please go see them if you or anyone you know needs their drivers Lisence or just a lesson. They are truly the best ever.. ~Ashley Anderson
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Mr. D's Driving Center was helpful, knowledgeable, nice and friendly. Simple words cannot explain,express, or convey such an experience. Mrs. Regina was simply awesome in conducting the road test. I highly recommend Mr. D's from start to finish, all day,everyday.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about this place! They are kind and easy going, and incredibly helpful. The instructor for the driving test was very cordial and funny, andt really took the stress out of the process. And they got us in so fast! They had a next day appointment for a driving test, which is SO much better than waiting 6 months at the DMV. You do have to pay for the test, but I'd do it again every time. Seriously, they're fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Amazing experience. Friendly and professional staff that helped and explained every step of the process. Driving test was easier to schedule and less stressful than the driver's license office.

Fantastic experience: The team at Mr. D's Driving School are very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. My daughter recently took her test with them and had a great experience. A huge benefit of Mr. D's is that you can also take your DPS test with them too and an added bonus is that you can do that on a Saturday so you don't have to take time off school or work. Highly recommended!
