Negative experience: DO NOT TAKE YOUR TEST HERE Went here for the driving test the old male instructor asks if i know anyone who died in a car crash i say yes he then continues to make morbid jokes about my friend who passed away making me feel extremely uncomfortable and violating my passed friend for the whole duration of the test.

Fantastic experience: I completed Driving School at Triad with Jack and Gary and had a great experience. They made the 30 hours as fun as they could be. They effectively covered all the material and thoroughly explained everything. They did a great job making the course engaging even though it was virtual. Overall, I was pleased with Triad and would recommend it to other aspiring drivers. Also, as a side note, their constant bickering serves as great entertainment!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate it!
Negative experience: This driving academy is in the same plaza as a small children’s indoor play space. On multiple occasions I have seen their academy cars driving way WAY too fast in the parking lot - a parking lot small children are frequently in. Whether it’s the students or the teachers driving the car I am not sure, and it doesn’t matter as either way it’s completely unsafe and inappropriate.
Fantastic experience: My son had an excellent experience at the Triad Driving Academy. The instructors were friendly, helpful, funny, informative and very knowledgable. The instructors really did a great job teaching the kids all the information they need to know. I would definitely recommend Triad to anyone looking for a driving school.
Thank you for taking the time to review Triad. We appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Triad. They went out of their way to help to help a refugee get his license and provided excellent road instruction and guidance tailored to his needs.
Thank you for taking the time to review Triad. We appreciate it!
Negative experience: I tried to book online behind the wheels classes for my daughter since they opened again back in beginning of July. My husband lost his temper and hung up once on the person I believe is the owner. After that I tried to book or talk to her and she yelled at me and had me know that she will do it everything in her power to make it more difficult for my daughter to get her license ... my husband wasn’t right to hang up on her but I expect a little more professionalism from Well, I still stand for all I said because it’s the truth . Don’t be a coward to respond after 3 years. Move on and make things better.
I will have to agree with you that it was difficult to schedule behind the wheel lessons after COVID but we have since rectified that. I do not agree with your statement that I yelled at you and made threats. As you said that is not professional and anyone who knows me knows that is something that I would not have done.
Fantastic experience: Both my kids had excellent training here (2018 & 2022). Triad taught them how to drive and what to do in any eventuality. Their lessons were thorough and memorable. No problems getting driving time pre or post Covid. Over the years, both my kids have recalled and put to use emergency training received from Triad. They cover so much more than the basics, and as a parent, I am thankful. Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your children's experience at Triad. We work very hard on our curriculum in order to provide the most beneficial driver's ed training to our students. The classroom instructor's many years of police and public safety experience bring a real world quality to the program.
Fantastic experience: Triad Staff are awesome , friendly helpful . We had no problems getting times fir driving .. office is great ... have one more we will he back .. Thank you Triad Staff
Thank you!!
Negative experience: I completely agree with that other review I saw- it is so hard to get an in person driving spot. If I knew this before I would not have paid the extra 500$ for in person lessons. Everything is so much more expensive than I thought and I paid for it myself in my senior year of high school :/ I wish I went somewhere else. Also keep in mind that it is a $75 fee if you miss an appointment which I did not know, I understand they do have to charge a fee but $75!!
I wish you had reached out sooner so that we could have assisted you with scheduling your behind the wheel lessons. The late cancellation fee is not a secret it is mentioned during class and also in the parent/student contract that you signed off on. We have refunded your money for the driving lessons as requested and wish you the best in your future driving endeavors.
Negative experience: Watch out for a strict instructor named Jim…he kicked me out of the Triad driving car 40 seconds in of the session..because I canceled a appointment..I was gonna file a complaint but my parents told me not to. Super ridiculous. Go to a place where the instructors are patient & kind
Negative experience: My son had a great experience with the classroom portion of the program, but it is nearly impossible to get driving time. We are nearing the 6 month mark and he only has 4 hours driving (he needs 12)...there are never any times available. Also, I have to reset my password every time I log into the site, which is very annoying. I do not recommend Triad, simply because you can't get any driving time. I'm very disappointed in this program and I will not have my younger children attend this driving school.
Negative experience: Can't book behind the wheels times at all. They are unresponsive to phone calls and email. Their website is archaic and poorly designed and optimized. There program is fine but the high stress of trying to get driving hours in is simply not worth the price. Save your money, go somewhere else.
Fantastic experience: Great people very professional.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Triad appreciates it!
Negative experience: Tried registering my daughter on my iPhone and it just did not work! THE WORST registration process ever. Sent email to office no response. Beware.
Fantastic experience: We had our 2 boys train at Triad Driving Academy and were very happy with the process and the results! It was certainly a challenging year, but Triad communicated well throughout the COVID crisis and was very responsive, particularly Shauna, in doing the best they could to finish behind the wheel training and set up license tests! Frankly, I even enjoyed the parent class, found it really informative, and could see the genuine concern and the seriousness for which they take this important "right of passage" of our teenagers. Thank you all at Triad for the thorough, professional, and critical service that you provide for our kids!
We appreciate you taking the time to review Triad. Thank you so much!
Negative experience: A recent accident by a student driver at a 4-way stop in Beverly, and admitted wrongdoing by the teacher, is now being blamed on the innocent driver who was hit broadside in the middle of the intersection!! The teacher did not want the police called, stated he should have applied his breaks and it was their fault, obviously lied to the administration, as they are going after the driver who was hit! Corrupt administration...always ALWAYS call the police if you are in an accident with them!! A NEGATIVE rating, due to endangerment of the student drivers and false claims!! What are they teaching the children??
I would agree with you that the best practice is to call the police when involved in a crash.
Fantastic experience: Jill was extremely helpful at Triad. Any questions we had, or anytime we needed to make a change to an appointment, or find a time to fit one in, she was always very helpful and positive.
We appreciate you taking the time to review Triad. Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Both my children went through Triad. They both enjoyed the classes as well as their driving instructors. Everyone in the admistration were friendly attentive and very helpful. Jill rocks!!!! The information given about texting and driving and distractive driving was so well done. Both my kids put the phone either in the glove box or in the center console. I and my children felt confident behind the wheel and still do. Thank you for everything
Thank you for your review. Our goal is to teach students to be safe and confident drivers!
Fantastic experience: I went to driving school here and loved it! All of the behind the wheel lessons weren’t canceled like some other driving schools! The driving instructors were very friendly and patient! 10/10 recommend this place!
Thanks Emily! We appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I completed the Driver's Education Program at Triad and had a great experience! Everyone was incredibly respectful and professional, and I passed my RoadTest effortlessly. Scheduling my lessons was so easy and I loved their online system. I would highly recommend for any new drivers.
We were so glad to hear about your positive experience at Triad. Thank you Meg!
Negative experience: Will never go back there again or tell anyone to go there ..... they get no stars!!!!!!
Triad Driving Academy has always tried to accommodate the learning needs of our students and have been doing so for more than 12 years with many satisfied customers. Ms. Platt came to us for adult private behind the wheel lessons after not being satisfied with another local driving school. Ms. Platt's attitude toward our instructors was unacceptable making it very difficult to accommodate her needs. No instructor wanted to drive with her. We were happy to refund the future lessons she paid for.
Fantastic experience: I just want to say the Bruce the instructor is the BEST ...if you want to past your test take your class with Bruce the BEST TEACHER its worth it Bruce is come, patient Bruce will TEACH YOU THE RIGHT WAY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND HELP YOU WITH CONFEDENS BRUCE IS HONEST AND WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU NOT TO FAIL ....THANK YOU BRUCE FOR YOUR PRECIOUS TIME I APRICIATER ..BLESSING BRUCE ...DRIVING TIME NOW ..
