Fantastic experience: I had Mr. John and Mrs. Barb for my Permit training and Mr John was super nice while driving. Mrs Barb was always nice in class and helped me while learning the rules of the street. Will be coming back during my Segment 2 class.
Thanks very much! It was great having you in class!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! From the teacher to the driving instructor’s is all perfect and all these bad reviews are about stuff from years ago. I just finished segment one and got my level 1 license but i already can’t wait to take segment two. And even the driving car is great it’s like a 2019 jeep and I’m in love with it
Thank you so much for the positive review. We enjoyed having you in class.
Negative experience: This is the worst driving school in the state. the driving instructor Mr. Victor is the rudest person I ever met. He was EXTREMELY impatient. he didn’t teach me a thing. He would CONSTANTLY grab the steering wheel while I was trying to drive making me distracted and annoyed. he would yell at me for no reason and yell little mistakes. He always rushed me, making me scared to drive. The last day I drove he made me go home crying and terrified to drive again. I’m still scared to drive so don’t waste your money on this place, I didn’t learn anything, and now I have to re learned to drive from my parents. So thanks for nothing!
Mr. Victor hasn't worked with Ace Driving School for over a year. During that time we always gather feedback from drives and haven't received any information of this nature. We have patient, calm and professional driving instructors. I could not find your name on any of our rosters please contact us direct. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: teacher is great and driving instructors are also great. One of the instructors john made driving really fun and i learned a lot from him.
Fantastic experience: I just finished up segment one. I took it with some of my friends and I had a great time. I had a great time driving with John and Miss Barb.
Fantastic experience: Amazing school picked me up for almost all my drives extremely friendly and helpful instructors 10/10.
Fantastic experience: My daughter just finished segment 1 and it was a great experience. Just a relax environment, organized, professional,kind teaching instructor and driver instructor. Really really happy with our choice to come here. This was a milestone for my daughter and I am grateful that we had a great experience! Thank you Mrs Barb and Mr.Jon for all you do!
Fantastic experience: They have a jeep compass there with backup camera, reason I chose them for my son nice big safe car, all other schools I see these super old small unsafe out dated cars and son told me instructors were patient and accommodated class and drives got finished jn under a month in the summer, highly recommend under this new ownership
Fantastic experience: This is definitely the best driving school in the area!! Very chill and calm environment. Flexible drive times, patient instructors, and the teacher is very nice. Don’t go anywhere else :)
Fantastic experience: Ace Driving School was amazing. This school fit our schedule. Jonathan and Barb were so helpful and such a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff was great! Very convenient times for parents schedules, and they provided clear instructions to students on the road and in class!
Fantastic experience: Mrs. Barb and Mr. Jon are super nice and cool. Driving with them is fun they’ll buy you food when you switch out. Mr. Victor doesn’t work here anymore, so all those complaints must have been old. They also have a new car that’s super clean.
Fantastic experience: Mrs. Barb
Fantastic experience: Mrs. Barbs best driving teacher
Fantastic experience: Ms. Barb is a wonderful teacher and made the experience great. I didn't have any of the problems other people are talking about.
Negative experience: cars are dirty
Negative experience: This place is terrible they didn't tach noth I had to basicly do it waste of money
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn all the material you need to be a good driver.
Negative experience: worst place ever. driver instructor will yell at you and make you feel very overwhelmed. the car is disgusting
Negative experience: Ms barb is nice and teaches well but the driver instructor Mr victor is very rude and grabs the wheel while you are trying to drive making it hard for you to even learn. the car is disgusting and filthy, please do not send your kids here.
Positive experience: They were OK. Classroom is tiny.
Negative experience: it’s not the best
Fantastic experience: This place is great! Taught my grandkids how to drive better than I could. My younger daughter went here to great professional place
Fantastic experience: These reviews are just people who can’t take proper criticism the people that work there are just normal people who do there job just fine.
Fantastic experience: The people who are leaving these reviews are just egotistic and don’t know how to take criticism at a literal place where you go to take criticism. From my experience, the people there are perfectly respectful within reasonable bounds and they teach perfectly fine. The people who leave these reviews are snowflakes who don’t know how to take proper criticism and need to grow up.
Fantastic experience: i get where the bad reviews are coming from but honestly i had a great experience. ms barb taught us what we needed to know and during drives, mr victor talked me through everything and even made conversation so the drives weren’t silent.
Positive experience: So I just finished at this place, it was okay, all the reviews are awful and I do not blame them. The lady that owns the place and answers the phone is awful, the teacher me barb is okay, she does a good job at teaching and is nice. There is a lot of negativity on here about the driving instuctor me victor and they are all true, but though he is rude and does the grab the wheel a lot and makes it hard to drive he’s just an old man give him a break, he’s nice mostly he just doesn’t have patience and if u can’t handle that it’s completely fine and understandable.
Negative experience: the instructor was very rude and would pull the wheel while i would make turns or just be driving straight, he would yell at us if we got "too close" to a car and say we are tailgating when we would have a 4 car width between me and the car in front. the car we drove was disgusting and had a nasty smell
Negative experience: I give this facility and it's workers the lowest rating possible. When my son attended Segment 2 with a re-printed Level 1 permit from Secretary of State, the instructor ostracized him in front of the entire class, indicating that he should not be there and waiving it around as something "not to do". He was mortified, texting me from class to please come and get him. If she had taken the time to listen she would have understood that the permit was a replacement for a lost one, and Secretary of State did not mark it as such. Common courtesy and manners dictate that you do NOT treat a 16 year old this way, especially in front of peers. I did not make him return to finish the course at this "business" after he was humiliated and so upset. The instructor should not be working with kids and is unprofessional, rude and unkind.
Negative experience: I made a call to see about prices for segment 2 and the lady that answered the phone was extremely unprofessional and just overall very disrespectful to me and as I can see from the other reviews this is a common thing.
Negative experience: This place is awful, horrible instructors who don't care about you. I am so thankful that I finished doing segment 1 here. I would never send my child here to learn how to drive.
Positive experience: My instructor was Mr. Bujak (highly recommended compared to Mr. Victor). Although he talked more about himself than teaching me and my partner, he made us very comfortable and excited to drive. Also, my class (which had about 35 kids packed together) was allowed to take our phones out during the test, sleep while watching videos, and had plenty of free time. My teacher in the class made us watch videos, read aloud out of a book we paid for, and take practice test with the answers given to us. On the other hand, I passed the test with 78/80 question right. So the school was beneficial. But should not cost the value my mom had to pay.
Negative experience: These are the most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. I had two students enrolled in the class and removed both by the second night. The instructors are rude, disrespectful people who yell, USE FOUL LANGUAGE and bring their personal problems to the classroom and use them as an excuse to treat your child like dirt. Do not let these people attempt to teach your child anything. I was hung up on when I told them I was removing my students and wanted a refund and they told me my children were lying and "full of bologna" when I explained my reason for them leaving. Why would a child lie about their instructor when they are trying to get their license? PLEASE pick another school for your child.
Negative experience: All we did was take turns reading out loud (having a anxiety attack)
Negative experience: The teacher is really nice and makes class fun but the driving instructor dehumanizes kids and makes them never want to drive again. Also the driving instructor screams at you for the littlest things when it’s literally your first time driving.
Negative experience: The 21 and garfield one treated my son like he was less then them because he asked questions the lady who answers phones is very unhelpful rude and is not aware of their records kept on computer lost 2nd seg completed papers and she claimed my son never went their Ace you need to clean up your crew our young adults deserve guidance and encouragement when taking your class especially if we the parents pay you to educate our kids smh never will i recommend you booooooo
Negative experience: Nasty
Negative experience: You sit in a giant classroom and take turns reading a paragraph out of the book. You spend the entire class anxious about your turn to read that you don’t even pay attention to what the kids before you actually had said. They never actually TEACH you, just have you read. My driving instructer was Yager (sp?) and he was amazing though. He was strict but as long as you were communicative and cooperative you’d get along with him just fine. I’m not sure if he still works there though, this was almost 5 years ago.
Negative experience: WOW! Called to get class information and ask about weekend/spring break options and was greated with nothing but rudeness! Would not recommend!
Fantastic experience: After reading previous reviews I felt the need to write one. My daughter has just finshed her first week of class and weekend drive. Instructor for class is really nice makes the class fun and interesting. Driving instructor in previous reviews no longer with company current driver was very informative made her comfortable behind the wheel and gave her good direction on what she needs to do.
Negative experience: The woman who answers the phone is just downright rude.
Fantastic experience: Bueno
Negative experience: NASTY facility and NASTY instructors. The classroom portion teachers students like we are mentally handicapped. I'm fairly certain one or two of the instructors has dementia as well.
Negative experience: Worse driving school ever! Instructor was very rude with students, not teaching them, just scolding them for their mistakes. If these students can't drive, don't you think that's your fault! THAT'S YOUR JOB!
Negative experience: Service over the phone was zero help and did not know their information at all. Also had a very poor attitude.
Negative experience: Unprofessional driver instructor!!!!! Bad manners with the students. Horrible experience for a teenager that is there PAYING for learning. Even worst that in the office they know the problem (because the lady on the phone named Joan admitted that they had other compliants on the past) and do NOTHING to address this issue. I'll follow with the BBB
Negative experience: My sister learned how to drive from here. The class portion was fine but whoever was teaching her how to drive must not care about teaching these kids and doesn't care about how these kids end up on the road. He didn't teach them anything about a round-about; when she asked "what happens when other cars won't let you merge on to the freeway?" The instructor told her "don't worry, they will.". I notice little mistakes that my sister will make while driving, and when I ask her why she does that, her response is "my driving teacher told me to do that". I know that everyone's driving is a little different, but an instructor should be teaching the basic skills that are necessary... that's why we're paying them.
Negative experience: The person who answered was very rude to me
Negative experience: This is where I learned to drive. It was informative, but the actual drivers aren't too good. I was probably 16 and this guy asked me of I had a learning disability because I made my turns too wide. When I said yes he asked if I took my meds. Terrible way of teaching a child. The place is cramped and your kid is going to be very bored, but it teaches you the rules. I really hope they got better drivers.
