Swerve Driving School of KLAHANIE: Reviews
Negative experience: Extremely rude, they offer more behind the wheel time than other local driving schools. However it isn’t worth dealing with the people. Asking questions is definitely not permitted and met with hostility.
Negative experience: Terrible experience.2 of the 4 classes were not refunded although one was mistake at their end where car was missing something and another one was cancelled via mail night before due to an emergency situation at home . Zero kindness and lending ear with admin. No continuity/ handover among instructors. Wayne was great but I was paired with others despite making specific requests.
Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful to get your license! Just make sure to practice
Fantastic experience: Instructors Eric and Wayne helped me improve my driving skills and boosted my confidence. The staff is friendly and responsive. Gena was very supportive and helpful with lesson scheduling. Definitely recommend this location. Special thanks to Wayne for all the valuable tips and techniques.
Negative experience: They never pick up the phone and they messed up my attendance
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Swerve Driving school. My instructor Wayne was great. He showed patience and very thorough. I didn't have opportunity to practice outside the school but the lessons at the school were enough to get a license. I also like to thank Marliena at the front office. She was always there to reschedule my classes whenever I needed. I appreciate their care and professionalism. I would like to recommend Swerve driving school and as well as Wayne as the instructor!
Fantastic experience: I took an one-hour session with James Lee and a driving test with Wayne Smith. Both of them were extremely professional and supportive. I loved my experience with them and the Swerve Driving School in general!
Fantastic experience: TLDR; Swerve Driving School is great! James and Wayne at Swerve Klahanie are fantastic instructors! FULL VERSION; Swerve Driving School has been a fantastic experience for me! My journey began with a phone call to check road test for the earliest available dates and book a test. Although I can't recall the name of the person I spoke to, their professionalism, patience, and helpfulness left a lasting impression. A few days later, I called again to book a driving lesson, and the same excellent experience repeated itself. The staff here truly cares about your success. My driving lesson at Swerve, located at Klahanie, was outstanding. Despite having a driving license for almost 14 years, I wanted to be fully prepared for the road test, given the differences between the road test points in Israel and Washington. I had the pleasure of being instructed by James. He's not only a great instructor but also a wonderful person—kind, patient, clear, and friendly. His professionalism shone through as he guided me on the specific areas to focus on during the road exam. James gave me the confidence I needed to feel ready for the test and even helped me reschedule it to the same day. For the road test, I was assigned to Wayne, who was equally fantastic. He provided clear instructions throughout the test and ensured I felt at ease, eliminating any unnecessary stress. I definitely recommend Swerve Driving School, as well as both James and Wayne as instructors. My spouse plans to book lessons and a road test soon, and without a doubt, we'll be choosing this school. Thank you, Swerve Driving School, for your exceptional service!
Alexey, thank you so much for this amazing feedback. We are so lucky to have the BEST instructors and office staff. Thanks again for your feedback. We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: 驾校就在家门口附近,去的时候打电话,第二天办公室有个漂亮姐姐接待我们,预约了第二天的路考!下午和第二天都陆续收到邮件提醒!不过由于自己的原因,错过了热身,因为不懂英文,教练贴心的把要考试内容给中英文打印出来,我正好自己预习一下!等到再去的时候,直接上车考试!虽然语言不通,教练还是很贴心加上手势!顺利通过考试!华人朋友也可以试一下,预约快,教练nice
Thank you for sharing your positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Instructor Wayne was great! Our daughter learned everything she needed to get her license and Swerve helped her have a positive attitude throughout the process.
Thank you for the great review Melinda. We love hearing about the positive experience our customers have had with Swerve and our staff.
Fantastic experience: Marliena was kind and dealt with angry parents very professionally
Thank you for the great review. We are honored to have wonderful staff and wonderful customers.
Fantastic experience: Marliena was extremely helpful getting my daughter enrolled in her tests after she had a broken foot. Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Marliena and our other staff members are very dedicated to helping our customers.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service!
Thank you for the positive review.
Fantastic experience: Great advice and cool instructor.
Thank you for the positive review.
Fantastic experience: Our second son just went through the Swerve program, and we're very very happy. Our older son caught on very quickly, the second one not so much. The instructors and staff adapted to each learning style, and gave extra help to our younger son to get him through the written test after a few missed attempts. Before we chose Swerve other parents told us that every driving school in the area has excellent instructors, but the difference with Swerve was how they were well organized and great communicators. Now that we're on the other side, I'd say the same thing and highly recommend Swerve Klahanie.
Thank you for the wonderful review. Our instructors are passionate about what they do and their ability to adapt to different learning styles. We appreciate your business and are so happy that you had a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Good location, nice people and well organized.
Thank you for the positive review.
Fantastic experience: it was a very good experience for getting my driving licence, and I received the right assistance from the office and from the trainer. Thank you KLAHANIE team for all your assistance and support. Keep it up.
Thank you for the positive review.
Fantastic experience: The admin is happy pleasant and always goes above and beyond for customers.
Thank you for the positive review.
Fantastic experience: My son had a good experience at SWERVE and I attribute it mostly to Marliena. She went above and beyond to balance and accommodate our very tricky schedule. She was kind and pleasurable to work with.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Special thanks to my instructor James Tweedale he is kind, patient, friendly and encouraging and extremely professional.Iam an anxious student but he always assured me iam doing great and he is always very encouraging.The front office Marliena is also very friendly and helped me with scheduling the classes.
Fantastic experience: They are really nice people with good vibes, which helped with my anxiousness.
Fantastic experience: SWERVE Driving school has helped me learn how to successfully drive starting from literally 0 hours of experience to being able to traverse the roads and highways safely and completely. I would recommend SWERVE to anyone who is in need of learning how to drive no matter how much prior experience you have. I love SWERVE and thank them for all that they have taught me!
Positive experience: Good and efficient. Kids learned well. There are a couple things that I would’ve taught differently but overall a great experience.
Fantastic experience: I would like to say thank you to Swerve Driving School, I took a great pleasure to get an exam at this school. All teachers and instructors are kind and respectful, and specially I would like to say thank you to Mr.Lincoln for his professional and ability to explain tasks to students.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this driving school. Instructors were friendly and encouraging. Special thanks to my instructors Giselle and Phillip. Had a great experience altogether. After my negative experience with 911 driving school at Bellevue, this was a pleasant and a welcoming change.
Negative experience: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We showed up early and after realizing that my son left his permit at home, we had to rush back to get it. We then showed up 1 minute late and the staff wouldn't let us in!! Ridiculous, and now it is going to cost us money to reschedule a new drive. ONE MINUTE, not an exaggeration. They guy even looked at his phone and pointed to how the clock said one minute late as if to rub it in.
I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, Washington state law requires that student drives last a minimum of 50 mins. If it were a Swerve policy we would have wiggle room for a student starting 11 minutes late. Our hands are tied when it comes to RCWs and WACs.
Fantastic experience: I had a great time learning how to drive with Swerve Driving School. The instructors are great and they have a lot of experience teaching people how to drive. The driving school is in a very good location which makes it easy to find. I would highly recommend Swerve Driving School of KLAHANIE to anyone who is interested in learning how to drive.
Fantastic experience: Always good and outstanding service!
Fantastic experience: My experience with the staff and services at Klahanie Swerve was excellent. Online inquiries were responded to in a timely manner and the staff was consistently knowledgeable and friendly. They made a nerve-wracking experience very comfortable for me. I would highly recommend Swerve of Klahanie to students of any age or ability.
Fantastic experience: I would like to share with you how much I enjoyed my 8 driving classes with instructor Steve Melrose and instructor Lincoln Phillip. I took classes with these 2 instructors and they were excellent, extremely knowledgeable and patient. They made my driving classes stress free and I had an awesome experience. Also, the office staff was very friendly, always replied my emails on time. I had no problem for scheduling my drives and road test at all. Thank you so much for training my driving skill, I have passed my road test today!
Fantastic experience: Spoke with Janie at Swerve Driving School. She was kind, patient, and extremely professional!!! She made our experience enjoyable!
Edith, this is great to hear. Thank you for the positive feedback.
Negative experience: Don’t waste your time and money here!
Fantastic experience: Gave WA knowledge test here. They were quick, proper social distancing was maintained and gave the test results in 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend.
Negative experience: My daughter took her driving course here as well as her road test. Her teacher, Graeve, was great! He was also good to drive with. Unfortunately, the other instructors are very unprofessional and do not teach the skills they need to or handle driving tests well! Communication with parents is also poor. Graeve is always booked since he is the only good instructor and it is next to impossible to schedule a drive or test with him. I would recommend avoiding this school and going to one of the other highly rated schools in the area.
Negative experience: Greedy business. If you didn't take their class they'll for sure fail your driving test with the slightest mishap and make sure you fail. All they want is for you to take the test 2 or 3 times so they earn some more money. Stupid business.
I have not been able to locate "Alexander Bell" within our system. So without having a real name I can not address the reason or reason you failed the drive test. We are required by the Washington State Department of Licensing to follow specific and strict guidelines when proctoring all testing. Examples of why applicants fail are many, such as turning into on coming traffic, backing up onto the sidewalk, speeding, and lack of knowledge on how to safely operate a motor vehicle. We suggest you continue to practice and watch the Washington State Department of Licensing youtube videos
Negative experience: The instructor was very rude even though it was my first time driving. Saying things like “is it going in your head”. Otherwise he would compliment what I did right. His behavior was insulting though.
Fantastic experience: Very great experience taking my kids here. I’ve taken all four of my kids here to learn to drive. The instructors are very helpful and friendly! Highly recommend!!
Positive experience: Didn’t like the way they talked to me when I was late, didn’t bother to try to send someone to schedule another session and practically kicked me out
Fantastic experience: nice instructors
Fantastic experience: Very professional, helpful and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: FOOT TO BRAKE EYE TO MIRROR SIGNAL MIRROR MIRROR OVER THE SHOULDER GO TO SWERVE
Hello Nile, It appears you know your Swervisum. Thank you for the review. Collision free for life.
Fantastic experience: I went there today for my driving test. When i entered their office i realized i was filled with anxiety. Robert greeted me and made me feel comfortable. We went out for the test. He was super friendly and gave very clear instructions. Time just flew by and before i would know the test was over. I am glad i went for a test to this school and would highly recommend it.
Negative experience: The Klahanie office never seems to open, yet no one answers the phone call. The phone number on their door is not even a right number. When you call that number you will hear a recording tells you that is not a working number.
Negative experience: Without lesson and warm up in this driving school, it's not easy to get the road test through. The instructor gave me 78 scores and told me need a warm up.
Fantastic experience: This school has been a pleasure to work with. Our new driver has learned so much. The instructors were patient and very passionate about the lessons that they were teaching our kids. This is a must for any teen drivers. This gives parents the confidence that they need to sleep at night when their child is behind the wheel.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this driving school. The instructors were knowledgeable and super friendly. I learned a lot of things that I felt are super important but maybe not always common knowledge.
Fantastic experience: We had a really great experience. We will definitely send our other teens through their class. We felt like their instructors were really passionate about safety and tried to relay that over to the students. The scheduling is always busy, but that's sort of to be expected.
Positive experience: Name
Fantastic experience: I loved swerve. lol Ken was the best instructer ever! Everything is so easy to remember and it was perfect that I could take it at school! Aub520!!!
