Brown's Driving School

Fantastic experience: Good school with good teachers

Negative experience: On November 3, 2024, my wife was attending Brown's Driving School in Mustang, OK. My wife was born with a mild cognitive impairment and needed some help with parallel parking to pass her driver's test. She has had a learner's permit for years. My wife called me and said that the tornado warning sirens were going off in Mustang and that the instructor said for all of the students to call their rides to pick them up. THEY HAVE NO SHELTER??? I immediately left my home in rural Yukon. At State Highway 4 & W. Wilshire Blvd I myself was caught up in a separate tornado which was rain wrapped. It was a severe tornado outbreak day and they had no shelter (we never thought to ask). Look the date up for yourself. The tornado lifted my car partially and placed it gently in a nearby adjacent field (amazingly unscathed). I continued as fast as possible to Mustang fearing the absolute worst. The tornado was heading due East from Union City. The instructor placed the students in front by the plate glass windows with the sirens still going off. They WERE in a windowless room with an exterior concrete wall facing West where the tornado was coming from. Why would a sane person do that? Move them from a safer location and then place them right in front of the plate glass windows to watch for their rides. The owner of Brown's Driving School personally called me two days later. I could tell he was miffed, lol. I wanted a refund. She wasn't going back after that. He pushed back a little and had the audacity to question the way I talked to the instructor (who placed my wife's life in jeopardy) when I got there. By the way, they canceled classes the next day for inclement weather. I think maybe my harsh words to the instructor the day before may have had a good outcome after all. I then voiced MY concerns to Mr. Brown. He literally said to me "I am not building a shelter for 42 students." My response was "Don't you mean 42 souls?" This guy is all about his bottom line. At $400 a student times 42, wow impressive. A couple of classes and he could easily bring in a couple of large above ground shelters. Maybe a local company rents out these above ground shelters? Has he looked into it? He chose to keep that class open on November 3, 2024, knowing it was a tornado outbreak day and even worse, knowing he did not have a shelter. He needed to move things along for that next class don't you know (money). Shame on you Mr. Brown! I am leaving this review now because we are getting ready to enter another severe weather season here in Oklahoma. Now is the right time to do it. So now you know. Brown's Driving School in Mustang, OK, does not have a storm shelter for it's 42 students (souls). This guy could care two cents about your "student".

Fantastic experience: Mr Craig was very friendly and know what he's talking about have a lot of knowledge about driving safely thank you for having a very good instructor I will definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs to get their license

Fantastic experience: My son was so nervous and didn't want to go on his first drive but after he got back he was so excited and confident! His driver Tony was so incredible and I am so grateful that he ended up with him. It makes such a difference to have someone who cares and makes you feel comfortable and most importantly that builds your confidence!

Negative experience: Stop teaching your students to ride in blind spots of other vehicles. Try switching lanes and if I sped up, so did your driver, if I slowed down, so did your driver. They almost caused an accident
