Tony Driving School: Reviews
Negative experience: Rất tệ, mình khuyên không nên đăng ký học cô Marry ( vợ cũ thầy Thanh Tony)này. Tới ngày thi, không đăng ký hẹn cho học viên đến Dps. Không giúp đỡ học viên. Nói chung là cô này rất tệ
Sorry to hear from you as mother of the son. This location was separated from Tony's company and being operated independently. I am here replying just to for public concern. Mary said it is a first hardship case she met as son always forgot his drive time, sleeping and coming out late for his drive time, let she waited up to 15 minutes each time, in few times on time, few times she made the canceling for empty trips, of course, she took it easy for not applying "No show fee" policy to your case. And the son was considered as a hard learning style, may be you know. Doing transaction with DPS is not including with the contract, making an appointment, it is easy as opening an email, why you did not do it rather than complaining, this is an added on service as other location we charge $10 each service fee. Lately, yesterday was his test time, pick up and drop off was not an obligation you got mad because she did not accept your favor, not to drop him home for you, why you did not stay and wait for less than 30 minutes.
Fantastic experience: Ok so first things first I'm a New Yorker and was only visiting Houston for 3 months so I'm slightly out of town. This driving school was actually a really great experience for me. I don't have my license yet but I have my permit and I'm working towards it. They have 3 different car types from what I remember. A Toyota Rav 4, some kind of kia, and something else. I don't remember the last one. Also because I'm from NY, Mary taught me parallel parking which I really needed to practice. All the employees here are super respectful. The main instructor Mary is super friendly and outgoing which helped negate any awkward silences during the rides. I got a total of 5 lessons with them. From the neighborhood streets to the hectic Houston freeways I definitely feel like I leveled up while working with them. I have to schedule my test once I get back but we'll see how it goes.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place
Fantastic experience: A good place for a new driver!
Fantastic experience: Very good school.Mary experienced instructor.
Negative experience: so rude for what they are not friendly at all and so much attitude from the instructor
- Review are accepted. When you don't know how to apply rule of stop sign, right of way, you don't pass test with us.
Fantastic experience: Mrs Mary is the Best instructor in Houston.If you want to learn how to drive within few hours,Tony Driving School is the place you should go.
Thank you. We love people to hire us service and learn how to drive And hate people fro other country came here apply their driving style from their country without knowing rule of stop sign, right of way want want apply for road test expecting to pass, when not able, pay back by leaving a negative review.
Negative experience: I have not seen such rude people in my entire life..they easily cheat.. I took one of my releative there to get her driving license ,,she is an old driver for more than 40 years experience ,, these people treated her very aggressively .. they cheat easily for parking test,, I shocked when I see the way they take the test,,..even for written test they don’t provide any service .. it’s a matter of waste of time , energy and money to go there The updated one after receiving the respond from the owner : Hey First of all.. I want to remind you that you yourself are also coming from the Far East .. So you are not originally born here .. on top of that apart from Indian tribes the rest who born here were also originally coming from other parts of the world.. Second you simply cheat on your parking test and everyone know that .. you put the barriers in a way that all vehicles could hit them and fail the test .. for sure each person pay 50$ 50$( The price in that time now maybe 100 or more )you will be richly tony..and I’m sure this is the way you afford paying the rent of that shop ..
Sorry to hear from you that way. But We are not here for your relative or anyone from other country came to the location and pass test for Texas driver license by the way they said they know how to drive and assume on hope of paying $50 and demand for road test passing. We are working for the our own rules and regulation which being under controlled by the State of Texas
Fantastic experience: This is the place to go for your drivers test!! Patient and very informative. The instructor was professional and process didn't take long. Definitely better than waiting 5 hours at DPS . Hands down the best
Fantastic experience: Все було швидко, добре, та якісно) Я здавав тільки екзамен) Дякую!)
Fantastic experience: I came here during valentines day and it was the best Vday ever lol (got my Drivers license!) This was a good place to practice driving and getting your test done! The instructor was informative and answered all questions. When asked to rephrase or explain the instructor did that patiently. I can understand why the instructor is very strict or tough as other comments describe her but she actually needs to be like that first because it’s for EVERYONES safety! She makes sure we know how to drive before we are ready for the license. Second she needs to be like that because she wants us to pass the driving test! I really recommend her! Thank you Mari! Oh and the car is very comfortable to drive! Plus they have a restroom in the office which was a plus!
Negative experience: 2 stars for their honesty in refunding the money , loyalty to the DPS and cheaper price. 3 star less for dominance in the speech , not letting the listener to speak, not showing respect to the fellow being and demotivating. One will loose their self confidence if that instructor is your DPS examiner. They failed me but refunded the amount , that’s great. I accept that I didn’t perform good or not at all drove the car . Not even 10 percent. It’s all because of manual gears and ABC model in my country. But I booked for a training in your school two days after I fail the test. You completely shattered my hopes and self confidence, when I called and asked for appointment confirmation. Being honest is ok. But should not be negative always and always you spoke about refunding the amount I paid. Teacher should behave like a teacher. I practiced on my own next day. Couple Of days after I gave a pre test and final test in different driving school and passed the test. Now I got the license. Sorry Tony , you need to know about some things happening in your driving school. This is my honest review. One particular aspect is complained by some people in these reviews means definitely it needs to be taken care ! Good luck !
We only pass test to anyone who know how to drive properly. No professional people doing this job at the working class community.
Fantastic experience: I got my driver's license because of my road test with Tony Driving School. Highly recommended! Thank you so much ✨ 3/18/2023
Fantastic experience: Hice mi Road test aquí y la verdad me fue muy bien, primero es el lugar donde cobran mas barato (50) en el área de Houston porque llame a varios lugares y me asegure y segundo me pareció muy buena la atención y el servicio, desde la persona que me recibió y la persona que me hizo el test (Mariflor) fueron muy amables y todo fue muy claro, por mas de que no hablaban español hicieron el intento y en todo el proceso entre hacer la prueba y entrega de documentos no se tardo mas de 20 minutos. Recomendado
Fantastic experience: これほど親切で安心していられるDriving Schoolに巡り会えて幸運でした。
Negative experience: The service you get is extremely poor. If you've got strong nerves you might have a decent time over there but if you're a normally functioning person with average patience/temper you'll have it tough. Communication is easily misinterpreted and harsh. 99% of the lessons consisted of yelling, shouting, blaming, and even harassment. I was belittled and guild tripped for making mistakes as a learner. I had to hear that I'll never get to her level, that I'm messed up and worse. Every time I tried explaining myself or get the instructor understand where I'm coming from I was talked over and told to be quiet. I'm not even a bad driver but because I didn't match her driving style I was mistreated. The instructor is very hectic, hysterical, unprofessional, and disrespectful. During the road test I was also tested on things that weren't part of the lessons nor was I told that I was going to be tested on these. Although I passed the test I felt like I only passed so she'd get rid of me. I was so glad when it was over..will definitely never be going back there again. Message to the instructor: Stop being immature and harassing strangers. Before calling yourself a professional you need to do better.
Hi Hana, Sorry to hear from what you felt, seems like you paid and being suffering through the whole driving course with the lady trainer at Dairy Ashford location. But wondered why you stayed long, supposed to cancel contract (if any) and find other driver education service provider right after 1 hour or first session of study as there was no commitment to bind the contract. Driver Ed. trainer is not an easy job as well as to teach someone when both not getting along with.
Negative experience: DO NOT USE THIS GUY!! I would give him 0 stars if possible. Tony charged my husband for use of his truck for his CDL test. During the test, the truck Tony provided began to experience mechanical problems. The tester was extremely helpful but she unfortunately had to fail him because the truck was losing air pressure and the brakes started to fail. The tester was gracious enough to allow him to pass the pre-trip even though the the emergency valve did not pop out at 40psi. (It popped out when it got to 0!!) When this problem was brought to Tony, he was unwilling to compromise or accept responsibility for providing a truck that was not in good working order. Before paying, my husband was told the truck that he practiced on would be the truck he took the test in. This was not the case. The truck that was brought to the DMV by the divorced couple (who was arguing the whole time) was not the truck he was told he would be using. The man that drove the truck to the DMV told my husband that neither him or his ex-wife have a CDL, so it's probably safe to say the truck was not properly inspected before it was driven to the DMV for the test. He attempted to charge full price for use of another truck so he can test again while he "gets the other truck looked at." Save your money and find someone who's vehicles actually work as they should. It is understood that diesel is not cheap right now, but had he provided a functioning truck, there wouldn't be a need to provide another one. This was a total waste of hard earned money and Tony took no accountability for providing a raggedy truck that he probably knew before hand wasn't working as it should. No one has money to spend with a dishonest business owner.
Hi Sharee, Thank you for address concern for your husband. He passed pre-trip inspection and failed for not able to do parallel parking, it is at his side from which he was not able to do and complain the cause of failing from vehicle issue. I only let him use truck again for anther test if the failing cause by vehicle issue. The fact he passed inspection test, it mean there is nothing to do with the truck, if the vehicle had an issue Dps would not allow him taking his test. In fact that before test day, I requested him to come to my yard to do checking the inspection and do free driving, he did not come. On his test day my guy brought it there for advance 1 hour for him to do what ever he need to do, I also noted that the steering wheel was not straight for about 2-3 inches to the Right. Just Common sense "Dont Use, Dont Pay" if he did not like or satisfied with the vehicle he supposed not to use it and I would make a full refund before renting. This truck is old, run more than 100 miles daily for truck rental servicing.
Fantastic experience: Mari is a great instructor!
Thank you
Negative experience: For every negative (genuine) review, there are 4 (positive) fake reviews. Fakery is so predictable.
You must know how to drive or doing parking before coming for taking a test Guy. Go to some easy third party testing location related to your language throwing $50 to satisfied your need, no place is same as you thought. Have a nice day
Fantastic experience: Very patient and understanding instructor and management. Any parents looking for small, comfortable and private driving instruction, should head here immediately. My child passed their driving test recently, and while they worked hard, Tony’s Driving School gave them the resources to excel. I am incredibly appreciative of Mary’s teaching!
Thank you for your comment
Fantastic experience: I came here a few years ago to take my paper exam and it was a great, lasting experience. The instructor is amazing, and even after 6 years, the lesson still stuck. I brought my daughter here now, as she is old enough to drive, and that has only solidified how great this school is. She got so much better at driving with just a few lessons!
Try our best
Negative experience: I really wish I had read the reviews before going here for my road test as I chose to drive 20 + miles one side just to save a few bucks. The female instructor is yelling and screaming on top of her voice all the time and doesn't give clear instructions at all. I had to visit the place twice because the first time they didn't tell me what all documents are required and I still managed to gather courage to visit them second time when during road test she kept screaming and yelling that I don't think you can do it. Even though she didn't clearly communicated what am I supposed to do.Any body who can spend just 2 minutes with the lady here is the bravest person in my opinion.
Thanks you for leaving the comment, but we not here to accommodate people from other country coming to take test when not being knowing how to drive properly, not just for the trainer behavior, but for the public safety concern when someone not able to manage to drive a vehicle on the street
Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars I would. On Tuesday, I called to schedule a driver’s test for this Friday (today) at 5PM, they took the appointment and said it was set. We drove 40 minutes across the city to this location with all the necessary papers and arrived early at 4:45PM. The old man processed my papers and told me to practice parallel parking while he helped two other customers. I practiced in the lot until 5:30PM, then at that time, he and his assistant rolled up in their own car and told us the appointment was cancelled. Excuse me? What kind of horrible service is this?
Hi Anthony Ho, Thank you for the comment. This is what I got from the office. Your appointment is at 1pm and you have called to reschedule it to 5PM, arriving 4:45Pm they told you to practice parallel parking and be back 5 for testing, and you know we close at 5:30Pm, they waited and 5:30 coming to you and ask if you want to take a test or not? Your mom answered from the your vehicle you are not ready for the test, you need time to practice and they have to wait for you to finish the practices. Is that right statement from them? In this case, they have to tell you to cancel the appointment and asking you to reschedule without taking any service fee from you. This is the like similar with a family planning to go to the restaurant, reserve a table by a certain time, not all member came and request the restaurant to wait all show up, but it was about to the closing time. Of course you and your mom have both right to get mad. What you expect them to do for you in this case You can email or contact me at 346-800-1000 [email protected] for further concern. Everyday we meet people from different countries and different level, we accept all kind of opinions even dirty or bad mouth, but I am happy we are both Vietnamese.
Fantastic experience: Great experience
Thank you Fatima
Fantastic experience: Good service
Thanks Divin
Negative experience: If you are a new driver I don't recommend this School. The instructor is confusing, talk so loud and fast. The way she's teaching me while I'm driving is very destructive. The problem with this School is not the language barrier but the character of the Instructor. She keeps on repeating what she just said in a very fast and nonsense manner. I hope they understand the sense of Driving school are for new drivers. No one with great experience in driving would enroll but those who are only newly learned drivers, but the lady instructor is expecting that you will do the technic that she knows and she's been doing for so long. Pretty much obvious that she has an attitude and read the past reviews as they are attacking every negative reviews instead on focusing on how they can improve their service. Not recommended! I will never gonna come back here!.
Good afternoon Jenillyn Dela Cruz Blamore as your real name, thanks for the comment. According to the trainer your approaching not coming for learning how to drive, said to be an experience driven one, but pay for 1 hour to learn how pass the road test or called test-pre. For this level, person must have to know how to operate the vehicle on public streets, several times turning on traffic lights not just neighborhood as your level based on what I heard. We accept people coming for learn how to drive, take test when being ready not expecting paying little amount and want to have a license, we regard safety of the public, governments' rules and guide line. Your $50 dollars and be an long hour training is not worth receiving this negative comments which impact to the business, we are here to serve people and helping each other, not a place to pay and pass.
Negative experience: I wish i had a read the review of the person who faced a similar situation earlier. It seems the trainer who will accompany you will find some or the other reason to fail you the 1st time you take the test, no matter how perfectly you drive. Supposedly that is because you didnt take any paid driving lessons from them.
Hi Ronald, Thank your for your comment, If your statement is right? My business is already closed out since 1st year of opening, but now almost 12 years and we stand over the pandamic Vuhan virus from china most of 30-40% of driving school shut down. Telling you, our service is $50 per hour driving lesson, for road test is $50 took 25 minutes, doing the reporting, put on signature for a legal responsible to a driver on the street. And it is not easy to deal with mitigated and some people driven the way are without knowing we have to follow State guideline. One reason DPS let third party doing test because they cant afford to deal with this kind of problem daily. Some CDL examiners from Government doing sideline job to teach driving, they are not allow to offer during official time to have extra income. As I notice my Dairy Asford location they do not charge payment of test when vehicle not get off the parking lot, applicants do not know doing parallel parking, requesting to practice and for better prepare for retaking, sometimes they refund money to the angry people. Here in Bellaire location, I am charging $15 for failing the parallel parking and redo test. If we are style of attempting to fail? We should not allow you guy to practice parallel parking, giving test tips for passing test, We always firs asking people to warm up, to practice parallel parking prior testing. Not always asking for lesson for passing or fail, just try to do better way to determine, correcting for proper way before releasing a driver on the street.
Negative experience: Not sure if its a language barrier or just really poor communication but the instructor is very confusing & she almost yells making you very uncomfortable and nervous . I couldn’t understand if what I was doing was right or wrong or how can I fix it. She misinterpreted something I said & got extremely offended & started ranting about how shes been doing this for years. It was so funny cause I kept apologizing & telling her what I meant & that I didn’t mean it the way she took it but it was not going through her head. Trying to understand what she wants you to do will be your life’s biggest struggle lol. I only recommend you go there if you know how to do everything & youre literally GREAT at it. She might be an amazing driver but one thing shes not is an instructor.
Sorry for your review. I wonder if you are the lady wanted special female trainer? and took 1 hour lesson. This job is not an easy one since we meet people coming from different area of the world and different manners, sometimes we have to face and headed with hard deals from people and learner's learner ability. No one is perfect but we do best to serve based on majority. Please regard this as a trial lesson may be for not a worth to pay but we got loose at our end from your note. If you want to try to take lesson with me, please contact me at 346-800-1000. I am sure you will satisfy.
Fantastic experience: Before i came here i had a doubt with all the negative reviews here but i still took my chance. And let me tell you Mary is a great instructor, very calm and also makes you feel comfortable while doing your driving test. She guides you through. Thank you so much Mary! I highly recommend Tony driving school!
Thank Geraldo, Good to know you've experience the reality. Most negative review are: Some % true Some % People fail the road test, most we do not charge fee for most people did not know how to do the parking. Some % People do not show up on time of servicing more than 2 times and do not want to pay "No show fee" and said to be Some % Immigration ignorance Some % Over expectation, spend few hours and think of having license on hand Some %, 1 guy hate us from other school, use fake to do negative review, please watch this video https://youtu.be/byqYJhyEwcs This video happen 02 January 2021 I posted on facebook and having more than 20k people viewing and has been taken down from Hired service reporting facebook to do.
Fantastic experience: Had my road test done today and it was awesome. Mary explained to me all the steps to take before the test. She's a really wonderful instructor. Wonderful place. Thanks Mary. Happy birthday!!!!
Congratulation! And Thank you for you complement.
Negative experience: The owner is very rude she was talking so fast and I couldn’t understand what she was saying and I ask her can she repeat what she just said and caught a attitude instinct and said don’t worry about it she also gave me wrong info for my child I will not be back are send anyone there.
Thank you for putting the review. We are just a secondary English speaker and still learn how to adopt. But at least we can do this driver education services for years, it considered as a complicated services. By daily we answer simple inquiry, making a contract, reply and answer question within our fields I am sure all parties are understand each other unless others does not want. For your case, I knew that you wondered why we charge $300 for teenage package of behind the wheel 14 hours which composed of 7 hours driving and 7 hours observation those has been stated on our website. And You wondered why you pay us $300 and have to comply with 30 hours practice from home which stated in the contract, we do not make a contract, it is prepared from TDLR which is a mandatory that responsible from the parents to do so. Please understand that we pay more than $7500 bills each month and you want us to take parts of training your kid 37 hours by receiving $300 from a parent like you? Calculated less than $7.5 using our 2016 model vehicles, gas, insurance, repair and maintenance ..... An Uberman earn $30/ hour in straight driving. Some school charge $450-$600 others in low class charge $240 for the package but most 50% of them gaining from dropped out students by creating something inconvenience to serve.... or do not have matching or difficult for scheduling for the 7 hours drive time and contract expired 6 months, you can see review from some. We cant do the same, Sorry to hear from you.
Negative experience: The Secretary who answered the phone does not have slightest idea on how an adult over 25 years can obtain a Certificate or DL to take a road test. And to top it off she was very rude. That's the last thing I needed to deal with!
Good you hear from me, thanks for putting details. We answer the same of your questions a lot daily. We are doing this business more than 15 years, the secretary is with us more than 5 years. We have the same knowledge with DPS of giving instruction to people to acquire a DL. I got this issues the same as yours as many people knowing how to drive before getting driver license, usually you guys came or called us to ask or asking instruction how to take a license or thinking just take a road test at a third party with expecting to have a learner permit, most of the case feeling that carried a learner permit is like an insulting part when person already know how to drive and driven very good when being directed to take a learner permit. Some case I answered you guys that we need a paper from DPS with the picture on it and coming to us taking a road test for the license. We and the inquirers keep on turning around as: Q: I want to take a road test A: We need the learner permit in order to take a road test (a rule for third party testing center to comply with DPS) Q: How can I get learner permit when I already know how drive? A: We follow DPS rules to follow Q: They told us I do not need a learner permit to take a test. A: We cant do it These are bouncing back and ford around and around when meeting inquirers like this at least once a week, some getting mad of us and throwing word and bad mouth to us or bearing a bad feeling and came up here putting a negative review against us. We cant please everyone who do not read and understand our roles and DPS rules as everyday we answer more than 50 phone calls without have paid from 40 different inquiries. Hope you were not in the same issues?
Fantastic experience: I recently came to this driving school for some in car lessons and to get a road test. Tony Driving School is the BEST! I was able to learn how to drive very quickly and Mary is a great instructor! She helps you feel comfortable and is very encouraging. Also, this isn't one of those schools that aim to take your money. She really encourages you to practice at home so you don't have to pay a lot for lessons and the lessons themselves are VERY CHEAP. With the four hour package I learned how to drive AND did my road test which only took 15 mins. Now I have my license! Great place
Thank you for your review. We just do our best. Those said we took their money were wanted to play their dirty game, evil goal. They are one of our competitor, and 2 of the students did not show up their times and refuse to pay the no show up fee which they had signed and we have to cancel the service.
Fantastic experience: Recently I went to Ms. Mary for my road test. She will explain you all the rules before the test and very calm during test. Also gives you tips after finishing road test. I was done within 10 minutes. Definitely I will recommend her.
Thank you for your review
Negative experience: this has the funniest reviews answers from the owner, im too scared to call and ask now omg
Wonder if you and husband kept on calling many times to inquire a lot of things how to acquire the permit and driver license, we never got single dollar from you. and lately came to our office brought the receipt from DPS and wanted us to agree with your thinking that it was a license and expected them will sent 1 to your home without taking a road test. We said this was not a license and not a permit either, you felt bad because we did not agreed with your footage that DPS will send you a Texas license. Sorry we cant comfort you that way.
Fantastic experience: very informative and gave me the opportunity to practice parallel parking! mari and the front desk lady are so sweet!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Tony Driving School is the best. Mary helped me built the confidence I needed to get on the road. She is very professional, patient, and has the best attitude. She gives you alot of encouragement to do your best and practice. I loved the very detailed instruction and that everything is done the right way. The lady in the front desk is also very nice and provides you with all the information you need. I am very happy to have chosen this place they have truly made me proud of myself. Thanks again Mary!! Your the best!
Thank you for your comment
Fantastic experience: I took my driving test a couple of days ago Ms. Mary was my instructor and I don’t think the reviews in here make her justice. She was very nice and professional, she let me practice my parallel parking before starting the test and gave me advice since she noticed I was nervous. When the test began she spoke each command loud and clear, (never yelling or being rude) and I had no problems. I passed my test and I was done. Also I prepared myself with all the paperwork beforehand, I payed and reserved my spot the same day and it was better than expected, at the end of the day I don’t even know why I was so nervous.
Thank you KarenSa, for your partial judgement. Most of the negative reviews were purposely fight back one's feelings from the failure of driving test result, and feeling loosing of value of money they paid for, but most of cases with me i only charge $10-$15 when person not able to do the parallel parking, I stop it here and let them do practicing and redo the test. Fewer bad reviews came from 1 of our competitor. We know most of they have prepared well, but nervous feelings still came up and not able to control their driving skills and let some errors took over one's mind place, it is just a common sense. Thanks again for such a great help. Have a wonderful Valentine's day!
Negative experience: If you meet the filipino lady . Who cant speak English correctly but still cannot stop talking. Go home and have peace. You are welcome.
This branch is independently operated by her. Sorry to hear the feedback. I will request her to come up and reply your comment. By the way Jay Ha and Oan Tran cant stand for you and do the negative review. In fact I let you having a chance to pass the test by the 2nd time after 1 knocking down and ran over the parallel pole. More concern please contact direct to me at 346-800-1000
Negative experience: Terible. Believe me. Go find another place. Also, they wont let you pass for the first time anyway. Dont let the price fool you.
Sorry to hear, she will be requested to reply your comment. You and Jay Ha cant make additional negative time review for Chi Le in fact I already did my best for her sastifaction at my Bellaire location. if you have more concern, you can contact me at 346-800-1000. Mr. Tony Nguyen
Negative experience: She will keep saying. Hitting the bump and make your freak out eventhought you didnt and she act like she is crazy or something. You should find another job to be honest. Your job require someone atleast can keep calm.
This location is independently operated by her. Sorry to hear the feedback. I should request her to reply you then. You are the same as Anh Tran, Chi Le and Jay Ha, should not go 3 people going to make 1 review for Chi Le for her not satisfy with the service. In fact she was prefered to my Bellaire location and passed test for the 2nd chance from the first she knocked down and ran over the parallel pole. Thank you. Any concern please contact me at 346-800-1000 Mr. Tony Nguyen
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and made my daughter feel comfortable before taking her behind the wheel test. She was even asked if she needed any practice time parallel parking. This is the best place and they allow you to pay with cash or credit. We called a few other places and they only wanted cash.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Tony's Driving School. Mary is an awesome instructor. She gives great advices and she is very positive, which helped me in overcoming my fear of driving. Thank y'all so much!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Affordable and professional
Thank you
Negative experience: Tony was very unprofessional and seemed to be a short tempered person. Poor customer service and seemed racist as well. I would no recommend this place
Sorry to hear that. I am very sorry to hear from your negative feeling. But for the reason not passing a test, I am tire to reply to anyone who said to be a driver or feeling of passing a test and come to us for expectation from $50. We are controlled by the State of Texas by doing road test service. Any concern, you can contact me at 346-800-1000 or you can complain to www.TDLR.gov for your satisfaction
Fantastic experience: Amazing costumer service
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Mari is great! I just took my driving test and passed. I wish I took my lessons with her too here. I did a walk-in on Sunday and practiced parallel parking for an hour while waiting. Highly recommend to everyone who needs to take a test around Houston!
Thank you Cecilia
Negative experience: She is rude and unprofessional
You came back and being failed this time 2nd after awhile and she made a full refunded of $35. We have to follow the DPS guide line of evaluating your driving ability before giving you a license to drive, of course it is sad when things turned out when party did not get what she expected: Examiner's: She said she did not yield at you, you still did not look both sides when stop at the intersection, did braking hard. Yours: At DPS they did not require to look when driving on the street, stop at the intersections, others reference telling you not to look and still pass test with us. If you want to try another test with other examiner or with me, please contact me at 832-885-8076 to clarify the righteousness. Balancing, I accepted the negative review in order to stand and survive the business. Thank you.
Negative experience: The lady at the reception seems she does not want to do business. All answers given by her are negative. Would suggest nobody go to them because of their stupid behavior. If reception is like this then you can expect how the other people will be here lol....
You came and asked the secretary to GUARANTEE after 2 hours learning, you friend will pass the test. The lady answered you it is there is no guarantee it is depend on your friend learning skills, his capability, our guide line of customer service is NO PROMISE, NO GUARANTEE, payment will be paid for service. May be your point is to have a refund after NON satisfied to the service based on the US culture, which applied for other kind of business factors, in fact driver education is a "labor service", instructor earns each drive time to get livelihood. Sorry Sujit, we cant adopt the kind of other ethics to culture to the US. Thank you for visiting!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended this place. Super helpful and nice, they let you practice your parallel parking before the test, prices are great and affordable, Mary is a great test facilitator as well!
Thank you Santiago!
Fantastic experience: The ladies at Tony driving school were excellent. My husband went in for a road test and they made him feel confident and comfortable as opposed to most other places we went to. They gave great advice and led us in the eighth direction and now he has his license! Thank you ladies
Thank you
Negative experience: If there was no star option, I would choose it. I have a bad experience with Mary, I haven't seen an person like her in my entire life. She is unprofessional, speaks too loud almost shouting. If a student made a mistake she 'd talk and talk without explaining briefly which makes the student stressed out . She gave me a bad headache and I don't know why people gave 5 stars. This school was the worst choice, I 've made in my life!
She trains people everyday in her live. You paid and learned 3 hours and requested to take a road test with us? She did not accept your request, I think she did not want to do service with negative result causing being disappointed at your end. Mary said you told her that you drove with your husband more than 1 year and 6 months, with the speed limit for 20 MPH everyday 15 minutes never got the accident. You told her that you called the DPS and being answered that no given signal is not a big deal that is why you do not have to do every time you turn, driving could be less than 20 MPH on the main road. She did not accept you to take a test based on your driving skill and you felt being turned down. I am sad to hear these things from you. Just post here what i heard from her site. If you have any concern, please contact me at 832-885-8076 Mr. Tony
Fantastic experience: Super perfect experience my girlfriend needed to get the test done within 3 or 4 days and we managed to get the test part done for very cheap price and get a certificate to take to the dmv!
Thank you, we do our best to lower the service fee for everyone but not able to avoid jealousy from surrounding competitors who came up and did negative feedback lowering our public appearance, your review is a great help.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The staff was very professional and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.
Thank you Burtrell.
Positive experience: This school is well-educated but all that matters to them will take advantage of you in any way to pay the most money
Wonder why you posted statement without any facts. We are cheapest in town for pricing, in fact we refund full or partial payment to test applicant when being failed. If you are assigned to do this or being from our competitors, do your best to get more customers. You can report to the State if you feel you were real being cheated. www.tdlr.gov or contact me 832-885-8076 "Tony" for refunding.
Fantastic experience: Nice people
Thanks Vic, we do our best
Fantastic experience: Back in May 2018, my (Cambodian) wife took her dad here for the driver's evaluation and the Texas driver's exam, and paid for both, plus the car rental, all at the same time. However, she failed to obtain a receipt showing what had been paid for, before she left. He underwent the evaluation at that time, but the evaluator felt that her dad was not ready to take the driving test, and recommended that he practice more at home before he took the test. Then my wife and her dad left and came home - without the receipt. Fearing that she would have to pay for the driving test the second time, she returned to Tony's Driving School when her dad felt that he was ready. But, instead, the receptionist remembered her and her dad and honestly credited her for having already paid for the exam. Her dad took the driving test and passed. Thanks, Tony, for running an honest school, and looking out for my wife! Five stars!
Trust makes no doubt. Thank you for your business!
Positive experience: Tony is good teacher but not correctly in his time and make some Disgusting voice from his mouth
Sorry Sadan, no one is perfect, I will learn to do better.
Fantastic experience: I was nervous but Mary made me calm down and relaxed before driving. She is a great instructor. I highly recommend this place
Thanks for your comment
Positive experience: A very good place to get practice driving and get your license. Mary was my instructor and she did a good job. Only reason I gave four stars is because sometimes when she talked a lot, I kind of got confused. Other than that, she is a good teacher and knows her job.
Thanks Joy, she may be she did her best
Fantastic experience: Love it! Excellent service! Tony and Maria are super nice and welcoming. I took my road test there and I got my license. Tony was my instructor and he was so nice, I didn't feel nervous at all. When I got there Tony told me I could practice my parallel parking while I was waiting to take my road test. Make sure to bring your drivers permit, ITYD certificate and insurance if you're using your own car. It's $50 for road test plus $20 if you're using their car .
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Very good experience at Tony’s. I usually get tensed before I take up a driving test but I felt comfortable today. Tony was my instructor. He was patient and taught me how to parallel park my car and guided me in my training before my test. The staff at Tony’s driving school were also extremely friendly and helpful. I got everything done very quickly and efficiently. Thank you so much.
Thank you
Negative experience: Worst driving school I've ever been to. Not worth the time or money.
If you feel it is unfair or being cheated you can make a complain at www.tdlr.gov
Fantastic experience: Overall, great service. If you go there with the right documents on hand, you shouldn't have no problems at all. If not, they'll let you know what to do and help you out. Tony was very patient and really helpful during my practice drives. Also he made sure that my friend's car was within the conditions and insurance required to the DPS exam (Thank you for noticing that the tail light needed a new bulb before leaving to the DPS).
Thank you
Fantastic experience: If you know how to drive and don't like to wait so long in DPS and seeking for a reasonable price and very kind and friendly staffs and good customer service, just go there and have your road test without any kind of stress as I experienced there which was totally satisfying and quick. If you need to learn how to drive deaspite of I didn't take the lessons with them but I believe they will provide the best of everything you may need.
Thank you
Negative experience: Scammers. Worst decision to schedule my driving test. They took full money from me for a driving test. I was informed Test was cancelled and It will rescheduled to a date of their choice. I asked them to cancel because it would not suit my schedule. They did not agree and refused to pay my refund. To top it off I found out later the I have 2 "No Shows" with the RMV which I had to pay from my pocket.
as up now we still did not charge "NO SHOW FEE" means customer no show up at service time, but the fault is at our end, we will refund your money, there is no reason we took customer's money when not doing service, 911 will help you right away. As stated on the contract and our website, when person did not show up on time for service, we are allow to charge $25 fee for instructor/ examiner's service they waited to do for their livelihood, sometimes we did not charge and we paid it from our pocket, but not at second time, if person cancel the service on or few hours prior time line, we have the right to charge $24. If you we cheated why you did not call police that time rather come up here to make a negative comment for what point. you can also make a legal complain to State at www.tdlr.gov or contact me at 832-885-8076 for your clarification, show me the prove I will refund your payment, thank you.
Fantastic experience: First thing first, they only charge $50 for driving test!!! I walked in this morning and took my driving test. Only waited for 20 minutes. Not bad at all comparing to my experience with dps, haha. The staffs were really nice and professional. I followed the instructions on their website and everything went pretty smoothly. To those who want to go here for the driving test, please check the web and make sure you have everything they asked. It is not their fault that you can’t have the test because you didn’t have the docs. Very good experience and thanks for the comments on my driving! I will definitely recommend my friends to come here.
Thank you
Negative experience: Don't recommend it.

Hi Maryam, Sorry to hear what happening today which out of control from my ability over others behavior.

To resolve with this issue, you can contact me 832-885-8076 mr. Tony, I will be the one working with you for next road test, you do not have to pay for this service.
Fantastic experience: Great people!

Thank you
Negative experience: This institute is making fraud and seriously I do not advise anyone to do their road test there, First of all the written courses which they pretend to provide is not existing,,they just play one video and leave you alone without any assistances ,.second :during road test before starting the examiner starts with giving tension and stress and keep reminding you that she will fail you and the money you paid will go,she keeps saying it in a rude way,,during the test she ask you to do one parallel parking which is not standard and even if you pass that test she asks you to try again to point out a mistake out of it which is not true,,she keeps saying that you hit the bump to give you stress and fail you to make you try again and pay another 30 dollars,,this is not ethical and please do not walk in to their office at all!,,,
Sad, if you were able to do parallel parking that time, there would be no issue. We cant follow anyone coming and assuming of paying $50 for hoping to have a test result for Texas driver license, this is our weakness of not satisfy you that way. Good luck to your driving.
Fantastic experience: I moved to Houston last Friday, I got my learners permit on Monday and my drivers licence on Friday thanks to Tony Driving School.
Since you and somebody driven drive from other States, we are here helping you quick driving.
Fantastic experience: They were excellent and my Examiner, Mary, was fantastic, Thank you for taking me through the test! Chris Mansbridge
