Traffic Safety Association of Macomb: Reviews
Positive experience: I had taha for my drives, taha is a good instructor. He’s patient and doesn’t yell, he gets a little sassy but whatever, he didn’t cause me stress, also he has a good music taste so I wasn’t upset about no headphones. For the school tho, it’s annoying. Don’t do this during the school year it will leave you extremely exhausted. The teacher was so impatient in my opinion, gave you 5 seconds to look at the slides and if you took a picture of the notes she would get all pissy at you for having your phone out, god forbid you pack up a few minutes to seconds early..she’ll get mad at you for that too. “We Have have a minute left” by the time she finished saying that it was time to go. Lady I’m tired. I want to prepare to leave.
Fantastic experience: I recently took segment one here just finished and I couldn’t imagine doing it anywhere else. All of the instructors were so nice and understanding. It was always a pleasure to be in the car and driving with them. They are very cautious and well educated on what they are doing. The class itself was very in-depth and I find we didn’t miss any information. Would 10/10 recommend can’t wait to go back for segment two.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of taking my Daughter her for a few lessons. Debra from Traffic Safety Association was the perfect fit for my hight anxiety little girl. She helped with her confidence she needed for her upcoming road test. We did 2 lessons and it was worth so much more then they changed. She helped my daughter prepare for what she needed to do. She made her feel so comfortable, it boosted her confidence for the bext lessons, took my daughter from scared & stressed to she could do the test with ease. Debbie seen where she needed help & worked on it over & over until my daughter could do what was expected without hesitation. Proud to say my daughter confidently passed her road test without a problem. Thank you Deb for making such a challenging optical in our lives a breeze. You are every this world needs. Its people like you that make a difference in peoples lives. We are so appreciative for you patience & support
Fantastic experience: i finished segment 1 earlier this month, & i'm so glad i came here! i'm newly 20 years old & have been extremely anxious to drive. i had ms. diane & she was why i was comfortable driving. she's friendly and always stayed calm during our drives. if me or someone made a mistake driving she would calmly correct us & it made the whole process a lot less anxiety-inducing. would definitely recommend coming here!
Negative experience: This place has very nasty instructors , they misinform you information of the time your supposed to be there , then they expect you to pay $150 again . that is absolutely absurd . I was completely misinformed of the time to arrive . The lady was very rude class hadn't even started YET . I was told 8:30am i get there now its 8o'clock . A SCAM! i arrived late because of what i was told & if you're in a class for 8 hrs it should have been fine !
Fantastic experience: Ms.Debbie is the best and she makes learning how to drive fun. You should take the class
Fantastic experience: i did segment 1 & i had ms. diane. she was very nice & caring. she’s a great driver instructor, she helps you learn things at a good pace, i highly recommend this place for driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: ms debbie is an amazing teacher. i started off not knowing anything about driving nor had i ever drove before. my first drives were very iffy but she trained me and taught me. by my last two drives i drove smoothly got my turns together and drove the freeway and parallel parked very good. my transformation was amazing and i couldn’t do it with ms debbie! Great teacher, very serious but very cool. she knows what she’s doing!
Negative experience: people in the office don't care about good customer service. They just want your money and once they have it, they will not help you any more. I would not recommend this business to anyone. Most of these "good" reviews are fake.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school ever. I got mrs Debbie as my teacher she’s hilarious and made me feel less nervous about driving.
Fantastic experience: i’m currently taking segment 1 and i have to say i’m learning so much, and on top of that my drivers training instructor -Debbie- is making it so much fun! i absolutely recommend taking drivers training here!
Fantastic experience: I finished Semester one yesterday and I had Ms.Debbie as my instructor and she is amazing. She has patience with new drivers, she doesn’t yell when you make a mistake, and she makes driving fun. Ms.Debbie made me comfortable behind the wheel. Plus she’s really funny.
Fantastic experience: I had Ms.Dianne,She was very nice and understanding! You could tell that she really cares about all of her students even the annoying ones ! I would 100% recommend this place !
Fantastic experience: The driver ed teacher was amazing, and always did what’s best for her students!
Fantastic experience: Amazing driver-ed teacher!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing Teacher who was patient and someone who I could converse with quite easily which made learning to drive suprisingly enjoyable. Not only was the driving memorable but the classes were actually a bit of fun when you have a class that isn't completely silent for two hours.
Fantastic experience: i took segment 1 drivers training here not too long ago with a friend. the teachers mrs diane and mrs debbie are both excellent at what they do. in class and in the car they are both extremely calm and collected, which is very helpful when you have no idea how to drive or where to start. in class there is a lot of notes, but everything thats written down is very helpful. the cars and the building are both very well taken care of. highly recommend. :)
Fantastic experience: Great school! Great learning material!
Fantastic experience: i took drivers ed segment one here and i am on my permit right now and ms Debbie was a very good driving instructor. the class was clear and easy to understand and the things i was taught were very helpful. traffic safety is helping me become a safe and good driver through the drivers education program
Fantastic experience: Had a great time with my driving instructor ms Debbie she taught very well and was very helpful
Fantastic experience: Great Company my 4 Daughters took driver training class and they were very knowledgeable and experienced…. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Debbie and she was absolutely great! Most instructors don’t really care but she does. She was very helpful and always answered my questions! Went above and beyond for me to make sure I understood the material.
Fantastic experience: Having drivers training at my school was really convenient because we could schedule drives right after school. I recommend Ms. Debbie if you're ever thinking about taking drivers training. She cares so much about her students and their knowledge of driving!!
Fantastic experience: Ms. Debbie is one of the best teachers i’ve ever had. getting to learn from her was one of the best experiences i’ve had in a long time. if i could give 100 stars i would!
Fantastic experience: Mrs. Debbie the best teacher ever!!
Negative experience: The traffic safety car blew a stop Sign today and caused a major accident on Wagner and 696 service drive. I lost my only form of transportation and was injured.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school love Ms. Diane. My kids have never drove and were scared they both did great. One is 15 and the other 18 both passed the test and have their permit now. Would highly recommend this school!
Negative experience: My daughter just attended segment one. The teacher and driving instructors are definitely not considerate of some kids never being behind the wheel before, They take a stressful and anxious situation and make it more stressful and anxious. The third time My daughter ever drove with them, miss Diane screamed at her because she mistook the gas for the break, My daughter then yelled Back I told you I never drove before and Diane yelled at her to pull over the car and told her she would have to make up that drive. Now, I know my daughter should not have yelled back but it was a stressful situation. Are you telling me that no other kid has almost caused an accident or mistaken the gas for the break before, she’s there to learn to drive so teach her to drive. It’s is driving school after all. My daughter called me hysterically crying. I spoke with Chris the owner, I asked him what happens if she doesn’t pass the written part of the test because she does suffer from test anxiety, he told me that they would take that as it comes and if she doesn’t pass then she could most likely come back the following month and retake the class of no charge to me, she did fail the written test and someone called me and told me that they decided she couldn’t come back for six months and we would have to pay for the drives then. They said she has to wait 6 months cause she’s not ready (they said). So, apparently they only want to teach kids to drive that already know how to drive. I thought their job was to get her ready but apparently not. I expressed that I didn’t think that that was fair because that’s not what I was told in the first place (by the owner) and that I wanted her to drive as long as possible with her permit. They would not budge and told me the owner changed his mind and this decision is final. I will not be returning in six months and definitely not for segment two. I am so angry that I will be paying for another class at a different school.
Fantastic experience: Very informative and helpful
Fantastic experience: My daughter is currently attending driver's training and she highly recommends this program
Positive experience: I had to take a class here...
Negative experience: This place is annoying if your court ordered to go lol
Fantastic experience: Helped my nephew get his revoked drivers license back, was the best price around and they were able to do the drug test at the same time. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal people teaching how to drive the safe way! Thank you!!
Negative experience: As if this process is not stressful enough (your kid learning to drive), this school will compound that stress level. There are a lot of improvements needed with this place. My son (15) finished the Segment 1 here and I will not send him back here for Segment 2. Right off the bat in first class, the students are told to pick the dates/times that they want for their 6 individual hours of driving over the 3 weeks. No parent is consulted first by the student to see if they even have a way to get there for these times. They pick the dates/times, and are told to take pictures with their phones of the computer screen/paperwork with those dates/times and show their parents. Extremely difficult to read in the photos. No email of these times are sent to the parents. If a student can't make any class or driving time, they are very hard to reschedule. Phone calls have gone unreturned. Every email I sent was returned as "undeliverable" although, I was told the emails are received but that there is an issue with their server. Items were on the test that were not covered in the class. My kid passed the segment but I am concerned he was not taught very well. There is another driving school not too far from this one. I plan to go to that one with my kids going forward.
Jennifer,
First, please accept my sincere apology that you did not find our driver education program to be the excellent experience you had hoped for. We always review our feedback; although admittedly it has always been positive – I really appreciate the time you took to let us know how you felt. Each student is given a drive schedule sheet that is to be filled out with driving times, brought home and reviewed with their parents; however in the hustle and bustle, and excitement of beginning driver education, sometimes this doesn’t happen. While this is not the case for everyone, it has traditionally been a struggle to get parents involved in the drive scheduling and we end up irritating and bothering parents, which already have enough on their plates. We are very flexible and after the drive schedule is reviewed, we reschedule willingly and always have plenty of times and days available so that the student is finished before the class is over and everyone is happy to receive their certificate on time.
The Driver Education Professional that taught the last session is a seasoned school teacher from DPS, and has been instructing driver ed for decades, with rave reviews. Mr. Pettit has the most thorough instruction I have ever witnessed, and all the while being patient, relaxed, and understanding. Which, if you talk to other parents who have had their teens in classes elsewhere, are rare, but appreciated traits.
You are free to choose whichever driving school best suits your needs, and there is no shortage in our area. Although we have been in existence since 1965, we may be one of the few with credibility, and pride ourselves on our level of quality. I do hope you give us another opportunity to make things right for you. I would like to offer Segment 2 to your teen at no charge, if you are willing to accept my offer. If you decline, I understand, and we are always here to answer any questions you may have.
Again, your review is not indicative of the superb standard we set for our driving program, and do apologize for any miscommunication and anxiety this may have caused you and your teen. I appreciate your feedback and will strive to do a better job in the future.
Very Best,
Chris Lineberger
Executive Director
