Longmont Driving School

Negative experience: She deducted me for hand-over-hand and it literally says it’s an acceptable way to turn… wasted $80 because I wanted a sooner appointment. Just go somewhere else.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved this place. Scheduled it with the guy at the phone and he was so kind with the scheduling process. And I absolutely LOVED Jenifer she was amazing I was nervous, and she helped my nerves by talking to me, and after she so kind with her advice. Love this place definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This driving school is absolutely great, the instructors were super kind and friendly. The instructor for my 6 hours behind the wheel driving was super kind, we were having a lot of great conversations. Jennifer, my drive test instructor, is not what people say about her at all, she is very nice and professional and she even complimented my driving, I passed my drive test with ease. Lastly, Patrice, he was super kind when it comes to appointment scheduling and instructions, he was super tolerant hearing that I scheduled the drive test the wrong day, he let me do it on the day I was there which was super kind. He gave very good advice before the test and is just overall a super nice person. Overall, this driving school is absolutely amazing! Definitely recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great place: nice instructors, fair tests. If they can teach someone as nervous as me to drive they can teach anybody. Scheduling is very convenient. Longmont is also a great place to practice, not nearly as crowded as Boulder.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Longmont driving school was great! I decided to book a 2H adult driving course. My driving teacher was Paul and he was absolutely amazing. Calm, knowledgeable and a great teacher. He guided me well and gave me useful tips. After his lessons I booked my exam, and passed it on the first attempt. What I like the most is that after the exam Jennifer took her time to go through everything we did together, and shared her tips to become an even better driver. This school is definitely 5 star for me: would recommend it to anyone!

Negative experience: Listen to the other comments. Jennifer is very rude and I advise keeping children away.

Negative experience: Jennifer es una mujer grosera. No vayas aquí...

Fantastic experience: I went to LDS for the driving test. Highly recommend. Their online website had all the information I needed and it was super easy to set up an appointment(they got me in next day!). Jennifer was my instructor, she was AWESOME! I was nervous at first but both Jennifer and the gentleman working up front were easy to talk to and explained everything perfectly, making it a much less stressful test. I could tell Jennifer was truly there to help us be the best drivers! I'll be using LDS for my kiddos when the time comes.

Negative experience: un lugar que deja mucho que desear,cual si fuera una leprosa me hicieron lavar las manos afuera y me dieron un barbijo(no se con que fin,hoy no hay pandemia y estoy vacunada).El dia que llamo mi esposo para consultar de hacer mi prueba,pregunto si la persona que tomaba el examen hablaba castellano,su respuesta fue que no sabia mucho pero que si podria dar el examen con ella,no soy una principiante manejo de los 20 anos y tenfo 62,se que me equivoque en una oportunidad y se lo marque,no es que no me di cuenta de lo que hice,cuando volvimos como no hablo Ingles,le dio la respuesta a mi marido,diciendo de varios errores que tuve, que no son siertos,yo no me podia defender de la devolucion que estaba dando y mas dijo que concidere como que me estaba tomando examen un policia,sus comentarios fueron maliciosos y considero que lo hizo aprobechandose de mi falta de conocimiento del idioma.No lo recomiendo.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school. No need to go anywhere else!! Great instructors! Living in Boulder but did it all here.

Fantastic experience: They really helped me out by going out of their way on a Sunday. Suzanne, if you are reading this, thank you so much for being patient with me and helping me out. I really owe it to you. Thanks to everyone working there! I really appreciate your guys’ help.

Negative experience: don’t go here. nit-picky. they will fail you for things they do not mention on the website or not knowing a speed limit when there’s no signs

Negative experience: I held this in for the duration of my daughter's tests. Test driver is a joke and a condescending person. I felt had I voiced this she would have been failed on her final test. The masks while driving are a joke. I have 3 more children that will not be attending this driving school. My daughter passed today but was criticized for things I know she did not do. Avoid this placeunless you feellike being talked to like your stupid. Bad taste

Negative experience: Don't pay to do your test here. If you didn't go to their school, you don't know what they will decide is against the rules. Some of the rules they docked my kid for are not in the handbook.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend this driving school. I did take the test here and they are nice and very professional. Even I passed they still do give honest criticism which make you better to driver. Thank you!!

Positive experience: There is good, bad & just ODD with this school. The good: Great email communication, prompt classes, competitively priced, easy to find. My daughter felt like she learned useful skills. Scott, one of the instructors was great! The bad: After a 15 minute drive exam, the drive instructor Jennifer(I think) was SO condescending while going over test results!! My daughter literally had tears & was visibly shaken by the demanding questions she was barking at her. I’m all for going over the test with the students & parents.. but there is a right way and a wrong Way and this is definitely the wrong way!! And now for the ODD; You are not allowed to go into the building. They have a make shift wash station outside for the students to wash before the Drive. Some instructors wear mask and some don’t..Students are not required to …EXCEPT for the 15 min drive test …Apparently germs are only spread during the test? Overall we would still prob recommend the school, but maybe take the final test elsewhere..

Fantastic experience: La mejor escuela !! No hablo inglés y eso no fue problema para recibir excelentes clases y aprobar mi examen a la primera !

Fantastic experience: Quick and great service

Fantastic experience: Staff was professional and polite. Gave clear directions to the DMV website to upgrade my son's permit to drivers license.

Fantastic experience: Take your driving test here! Jennifer and her husband are amazing! You can ask questions before the driving test, and the car was clean and very smooth to drive. I am very delighted and recommend Longmont Driving School! Don’t make the mistake to go to the school closer to the Longmont DMV.

Fantastic experience: Quick kind.. articulate in what they wanted.. helped calm my nerves.. I was very happy

Negative experience: I tried so hard getting into this class. the next available classes they gave me are in march. This is disappointing because I need my permit by this month. Outrageous

Fantastic experience: I wish we had known about Longmont Driving School when my daughter was learning to drive. We purchased the full Complete Instruction Program for my son which included 30 hours of classroom instruction + permit test + 6 hours of behind the wheel training. Scheduling all of the sessions were a piece of cake with their online system. The classroom sessions are loooong, but the content was presented clearly and my son said the instructor was great. All of the driving sessions were easy to schedule through their online system, were always promptly on time, and we appreciated thorough and clear communication from the instructor. I had a few questions pop up throughout the process and they were always very quick to reply to my inquiries. A++!

Negative experience: Because I want the review to be helpful and constructive- let’s start with the good things we experienced here. The Good: This business does a good job at communicating and scheduling drives/tests. They are prompt on emailed (very detailed) feedback and are trying to teach driers to be safe. My son who took the learning portion said it was okay. They offered my son time to practice driving in the snow before his test- which I thought was nice. Also- they charge $75 for to retake a driving test, most places will give you a cheaper rate on the 2nd one. This does doesn't unless you press and ask for it, which we were grateful. Our Bad: We would call this place, “The Karen’s Driving School.” Why? Because most of our interactions were demeaning and left our sons less confident to get behind the wheel. As of November 2022 you still need to wear a mask if you drive with this place. My son wears glasses and they fog up when he drives and wears a mask. School operators can wear a mask but making people wear masks is pretentious and could be not safe. Their hyper-focus on the small rules and the demeaning way of teaching made our sons less confident and nervous drivers. I get driving with new drivers is stressful, but how you communicate matters, being sharp and rude doesn’t help the drivers you are trying to teach, its not the “tough-love” type of teaching, its belittling and rude, especially from Jennifer. DON’T take your drivers test from them. Taking a test from them (their demeanor and tone) is like taking it from scariest teacher in the school. One son passed- by a narrow margin and as they got back I heard the instruction basically say, “You passed, but boy you were lucky to pass, I could have failed here, here, and here”…that kind of teaching doesn’t instill confidence in a new driver. They also took our 2nd son through circumstances he’d never faced before during his driving test which led him to failing, which we don’t dispute. When we showed up for the retake, before we got in the car Jennifer berated my son for not passing the test the time before and how he should have known and done better. Gratefully he passed so we don't have to interact with this school again. If you want your learner to learn from to drive from a Karen-type personality that makes your driver overly scared and not confident then is the place to go.

Negative experience: I have to say rude and I really am amazed in a actual dmv you are told to adjust your mirrors and place your seat belt but also adjust your seat before you are to actually start your vehicle I was told the complete opposite in which I was told to start the vehicle before I put my seat belt on and I was to listen to her instructions demandingly knowing in fact she was wrong I hope this will reach the corporate office sadly to say she never disclosed her name I can tell you she is a heavy set Caucasian women which I believe that customer service is needed and you should be greeted with your instructors name I will not return to this office not Longmont driving school thank you

Fantastic experience: We have 4 children, our 3rd just finished her drive with instructor time at Longmont Driving School. We used 2 different schools with our oldest kids. Longmont Driving School was hands down the best of the 3. The instructors were so professional, helpful and extremely thorough. The entire experience was wonderful. The other schools were not bad, just nowhere near the level of professionalism and care and attention we received from LDS. We will definitely be bringing back our youngest in 2 years when it’s her turn.

Negative experience: Terrible. Dont waist your time here.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. Jennifer was very professional and detailed. I did have a question a week later and Jennifer personally called me back with the information I needed. I would highly recommend them. My son was very nervous but the entire experience was great for him.

Fantastic experience: The only dring school I will recommend!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful, online scheduling

Fantastic experience: My son has finished his 30 hours of instruction and permit test with the Longmont Driving School and we still get to do the drivers instruction portion. What I really appreciate about their program is how many reminders they provide the parents and students and how clear they are through every step about their process. As busy working parents juggling lots of different responsibilities the staff here really took the burden off of us to keep track of one more thing. It really made this process as easy as it could be.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience during my test! Everyone was very kind and professional which definitely helped calmed my nerves before the test. I was driving with Jennifer and she was great. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: The people are really nice professional and polite I give the a 5 start high recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Patrice and the Longmont Driving School have gone above and beyond to accomodate our family with our scheduling needs to get our young driver on the road safely and licensed. We received quality instruction at a very fair price. Their communication with us was extremely prompt and efficient and they were quick to alert us when they recognized potential complications with when we scheduled our instructional driving seesions and well as our drivers license test. I would highly recommend this orginization to assist you and your family with your permit and licensing needs.

Positive experience: Helpful but expensive

Fantastic experience: Outstanding experience all the way through. My daughter turned 16 yesterday and the driving class and instructor time was all during Covid restrictions. I can't say enough great things about their adapting during challenges, the ease of scheduling, the student driver magnets for the car and providing all the confidence we needed that my daughter would be prepared and ready to get her license immediately. Thank you Longmont Driving School, and your amazing instructors. I refer all my friends here without hesitation and will continue to do so.

Negative experience: Failed my son in the last 10 seconds of his driving test for not signaling to enter their parking lot at the end of the test. The entrance to their lot is at the top of a short cul-de-sac past all other driveways -- it was not a mystery to any other drivers as to where he was going! Jennifer was almost smug in the post-drive evaluation. Nothing ridiculous or outrageous, but not kind either... Afterward, we sat and watched the next six drivers that entered the lot not signal. You'd think this might be something that happens enough to prompt some mention before starting, but that would be bad for revenue. And before the "it was cumulative errors and violations of law" canned response, fast-forward three days and ZERO hours of practice later and my son passes his test at DriveSafe with 10 points and no law violations. I would recommend another facility where the instructors don't have a financial interest in failing you. Had a great experience at DriveSafe in Louisville with Dustin this morning.

Fantastic experience: The instructors at Longmont Driving School are wonderful. They're patient, kind, and informative. They also explained the entire process and options thoroughly in order to help me (the parent) make the best learning decision for my teen. I highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Easy access. Staff are great!

Positive experience: Muy bien las personas de ahi tratan a la jente muy biem

Fantastic experience: Wow! The DMV could take some pointers from this place! They were very patient, funny and made my son feel as relaxed as possible. Weekend drive tests too!! Yeah! Now I don't have to drive ANY of my kids! Kinda sad really

Fantastic experience: My son has his driving test today, his experience was fantastic. I appreciate the attention to detail by the instructor and her ability to help my son relax. She was brilliant and so professional. In addition, the cleanliness of the vehicle (sanitized between drivers), the hand-washing station and temp. check really helped us feel at ease. The other place he went to fell short of this process. The instructor over there was very kind and skilled, but we preferred LDS. Thank you Longmont Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Excellent personnel! My daughter really enjoyed everyone she worked with. They're great with confirmations/communications and even contacted us when there was a cancellation to offer the time to her (and she jumped at it!). Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable and just great people! Thank you for your help! :) (Even if we can't get in the DMV for a few more weeks, my daughter is glad to have this part completed.)

Fantastic experience: This has been the smoothest driving learning experience I have had with my kids. The school experts are extremely professional. They follow through all the questions specially within the "new normal" set-up that we all had to learn and felt anxious about. The process has been painless for me as a parent. All next steps are spelled out with detailed reminders! Hard for the student to miss a paper or homework. We are very lucky to have such a good school in town!

Fantastic experience: Great instruction. They really put my daughter at ease.

Fantastic experience: The tester is kind, generous and helpful. She was not pressuring the test taker while on the drive test, and gave helpful feedback after the test.
