Bill Kennedy's Topeka Driving School

Fantastic experience: Our daughter sat for their eight hour class and did really well! The instructor, Robert was, by her account, outstanding; funny and easy to listen to. The entire staff were so patient and polite. Thank you all!

Negative experience: SERIOUSLY UNPROFESSIONAL. Maybe some people are afraid to write honest reviews about how bad they are because they're afraid it will affect their ability to get the licence and there's no refunds. They never call to schedule driving times and when you eventually get a call back after several messages, they are scheduled months out. They are rude and patronizing. My teen witnessed very racist behavior toward others in the class. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

Negative experience: Did not visit there.

Fantastic experience: these guys are the best got my license because of them u guys gotta come here to learn n all thank u too u guys agian

Fantastic experience: The class was very informative and helpful, and David helped put my daughter at ease behind the wheel, helping her to become more confident in her driving abilities.

Fantastic experience: I was a student of the Kennedy Driving schools and the instructor was nice and funny and just a great person to be around but the school it’s self is also great. The school teaches you everything you need to know so you are prepared and ready to go out there and drive while still being safe.

Fantastic experience: My son just completed his driving course and he had a great time with his driving instructor, Misty! He told me Misty made the experience fun and would recommend her to everyone needing the class.

Fantastic experience: I would like to take this opportunity to thanks Topeka Driving School staff and specially Misty for helping me to clear my exam and for helping me to learn driving. I used to be so scared but Misty made my life so easier. The way she teach is commendable. Thank you Misty for everything. we will meet sometime soon and this time I am going to drive by myself and take you around. ❤️ & Regards, Shazia

Fantastic experience: We loved our experience with The Driving School, but especially with his actual Driving Instructor, Misty. She was awesome. She was kind, peaceful, informative , and communicative. Her laid back approach helped to ease the anxiety my son had about getting behind the wheel. She was extremely helpful even after his first instructional lesson, when we went to the DMV to get his permit. She went above and beyond and was willing to help in anyway she could. We highly recommend the school and Misty.

Fantastic experience: This was such an amazing experience! Misty made my driving experience so much more fun and enjoyable, and made me look forward to start driving. She was very patient and understanding and took me through everything that I needed to know. Thank you so much for making my driving experience so amazing!

Fantastic experience: We choose Topeka Driving School because our last experience was lacking. WOW! What a difference. From the instruction day to the scheduled driving time, the whole program was excellent. Why? Well my daughter learned so much and was able to talk through many situations easily. Next, our driving instructor was not only great with our driver. But her communication with me on scheduling was consistent and detailed. I knew what the plan was each day and she listened to my hopes for the drive time. Misty was personable and made my daughter feel so comfortable behind the wheel. She made sure to teach her both in town driving, evening driving, one way driving, highway driving, defensive driving, passing semi's, I could go on. Worth every penny in case you are on the fence about what program to choose. We are based in Lawrence and it was no trouble at all getting our times in.

Fantastic experience: We have had a great experience thanks to all the peoples here. My son is now driving very patiently & carefully due to your great teaching!!! Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: My son had a great experience! Misty was patient with him and he enjoyed being around her, my son doesn't usually like being around people.

Fantastic experience: My son gained a lot of confidence behind the wheel with the school. They answered so many questions that I had.

Fantastic experience: You were all so sweet and patient, so glad I got to experience driving with you.

Fantastic experience: I had fun with Mrs Stofer, she is very nice and I’ve learned a lot from her

Fantastic experience: This was the best experience! My driver was Misty and I had the best experience. She taught me everything I needed to know. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend Topeka Driving school to anyone needing to do drivers ed!

Fantastic experience: Misty was so nice and patient with my children. She's funny and makes the experience relaxed. My daughter said Misty was good at guiding her. Also flexible times to get sessions completed.

Fantastic experience: Misty was my driving instructor and she was fab. She is very calm & patient, which helped me a lot. My whole experience with this school and misty was great. It was a fun driving experience. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor and this whole program was excellent! I was shown where a incident occurred and told how. It taught me how to be understanding that certain paths that seem okay sometimes should be taken with more caution. It is unfortunate of the events I can't undo but it is a good lesson to future drivers that other schools likely won't teach you. I was also taught how to drive in snow conditions. I live up North now and i can get around in a FWD car better than most SUV's and some trucks. This is the best place in Kansas to go for driving school if you ask me. Thank you Bill Kennedy Driving School. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely adored my driving instructor, Dave. He was very kind and made learning to drive a fun and anxiety free experience!

Fantastic experience: Dave was a great teacher. He was very friendly and personable. Our son felt very comfortable with his driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a great experience with Jake our instructor! She learned so much in such a short time. I recommend him to any new driver!

Fantastic experience: Dave was an awesome instructor. Pay him well.

Fantastic experience: Dave was a great instructor. He was friendly and very patient. He let my daughter know what all she needed to do and she enjoyed it.

Negative experience: I paid 224 dollars just for them to tell me I'm too far to pick up and now they won't answer my calls or emails to give me my money back. Didn't think the lady on the phone would scam me like this be care. I needed that 224 dollars and was so excited to finally drive just to get my hopes up again. If theirs someone who's always in the office why didn't anyone call or email me back? If it has been a policy for so long why wasn't it known? Why is there a Kansas City address on the website when the actual driving School 3 hours away?

Fantastic experience: This was a great experience! I was nervous about this new season in raising kids. Topeka Driving School has made it easier for my daughter and I. Thank you Jake!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here! My driving instructor Jake was great! He was easy to get along with and made the whole thing super relaxed. Thank you for the great experience!

Fantastic experience: jake did an amazing job being chill , relaxed & even kept the whole ride enjoyable by talking about different things, definitely 10/10

Fantastic experience: Outstanding product! Kids received first rate instruction, in the classroom and on the road. Shout out to Mr. David Perkins!

Fantastic experience: I had Dave as my instructor and he was so patient with me and so kind. He helped me with my anxiety the whole time and made sure that everything would be okay ! His instructions were very clear to understand and overall it was a great experience I definitely recommend going !

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and convenient drivers ed course. My daughter enjoyed it. Dave the drive instructor was extremely knowledgeable and a very good instructor. Recommended 100%.

Fantastic experience: Dave was a great teacher for my son. Very friendly and patient.

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate having Jake as my instructor, as he made it clear from the very beginning that there was going to be no pressure on his end, and makes sure his students are as comfortable as possible during the driving sessions. It honestly made the experience so much easier for me. I was on the highway in no time, and pretty much all of my anxieties about driving were gone by the first day, and I had a lot of fun while learning. Give this guy a raise

Fantastic experience: The instructor Dave did a great job. My daughter felt comfortable with him and said he was easier to drive with instead of me.

Fantastic experience: Hi, my names Josie and I had Dave Perkins. He was a really fun driving coach and made me feel really comfortable. :)

Fantastic experience: I had an instructor named Dave, he is the best teacher I've ever had. He is very thorough, kind and insightful. Definitely recommending him to my friends.

Fantastic experience: Hello, I’m Aubrie M. I had Jacob Smith as my driving instructor, he was really nice and I have debilitating (severe) social anxiety and my anxiety was of course there on the first day I was meeting a new person! But he’s really easy to communicate with and he gives instructions very clearly which really helps. But anyways my Social Anxiety was barely even there, it was basically non-existent! And I had a great time driving with him, he kept reassuring me I was doing good which encouragement really helps with my anxiety I didn’t overthink anything, I wasn’t stressed while driving at all.

Fantastic experience: Dave did a great job on scheduling around my sons activities. Provided good basic instructions and training. Always took his personal time to meet with us after each session to describe skills needing improvement. This was our third child that went through their program and we have been very pleased with the results.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t have a lot of driving experience, and was nervous to drive.But my instructor Jake was so helpful and Understandable. I 10/10 recommended Kennedy driving school, and my Instructor Jake.

Fantastic experience: Jake was a very nice & amazing instructor. He is someone you can ask if you have any questions whether your driving or getting your license and don’t know who to call. I definitely recommend going to Kennedy driving school.

Fantastic experience: I have never driven in my life. For me, driving was a lot of anxiety, accelerating fear, and images of pedestrians popping out in my head, and even the tragic sight of a car accident came to my mind every time I sat in the car. However, this school taught me the knowledge I needed and the dangers of driving for a whole day. Three weeks later, six hours of driving practice began. I was in charge of a gentle gentleman and easygoing man named Jake. I was worried because I was a beginner in driving and I was not good at English, but that worry soon disappeared. I asked him immediately if he had any questions, and he immediately gave me the best answer. After 6 hours of driving practice, many of my anxieties and fears of driving were largely gone. I was lucky to learn to drive from him. I strongly recommend this school to everyone.

Fantastic experience: My daughter learned so much and gained a lot of confidence. Great instructors! All around great experience, would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Jake was such a great driving instructor! He was friendly and fun, and very supportive! Thank you for making me more confident in my driving, Jake!

Fantastic experience: Jake was an amazing driving instructor he was never lacking on what he needed to do and he did an amazing job keeping me interested and entertained throughout the long 6 hours of driving!

Fantastic experience: Jake was an amazing instructor. I highly recommend sending your teenager to Topeka Driving School. Jake was patient, very professional, and taught our daughter so many valuable skills. Highly recommend! Excellent experience. Thanks, Jake!

Fantastic experience: I had the best driving instructor there ever was , she was the very best and everyone was so friendly through the written and the driving test !!!!!

Negative experience: Have now sent 3 kids through this school and it's a joke, don't waste your money. First kid spent all of her "drive time" drinking coffee at Starbucks with her instructor.. after getting attitude from them they finally agreed to give her 2 more hours of drive time with a different instructor..keep n mind this was a kid who never had driven in her life. Next kid has now waited a month.. A MONTH!! to take his 6 hours of drive time, was supposed to go tomorrow morning but the instructor just cancelled and said "maybe Friday" are you kidding me?? 366.00 bucks a pop and you have students waiting this long.. absolutely unacceptable. Was told there driving would commence up to 2 weeks after...not over a month and now longer. Child #4 will not be going through this racket. I will take her to a different school.*** Update- Not sure how you can say he would have completed in 5 weeks when the instructor could not let him know when they were rescheduling his drive time. nonetheless, you offered a refund so we can take our business elsewhere. That is exactly what we plan to do- Your customer service is less than desirable! Your instructors in my opinion are not fit and seem to hardly care what kind of drivers they are putting on the road. Not all, one of my kids had a great instructor who showed up on time and got him on the road without canceling or hanging out at a coffee shop. Maybe you should have more like that one! Maybe I should have listened to everyone I talked to who told me not to waste my money going through this company. regardless, its said and done and the lesson was learned. Good day.

Negative experience: Good for those who are already too good
