Phillips Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Our instructor (Sadee C) was absolutely amazing. She was super kind and helpful. Sadee definitely made my experience enjoyable and fun and I would absolutely recommend her if you can.!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Owen. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with Sadee—and we agree—Sadee is truly a gem to have on our team! We will share your review with Sadee. Thank you again!
Negative experience: Customer service sucks! I called to ask questions about registration the woman kept raising her voice and talking over me and droning on and on without letting me ask m question.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for the incredible experience with your driving school! Your website's detailed instructions made everything so easy to understand, and the flexibility and proximity to our home made the experience stress free! Both my sons had a fantastic time with the knowledgeable and fun instructor, making them feel comfortable and at ease. The positive atmosphere, clean and safe cars, and valuable feedback from the instructor, Jenn truly made this the best learning experience. I will definitely be recommending Phillips's Driving School to everyone I know.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review. We appreciate your kind words and are so glad that you had a great experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction and preparation for my 2 teenage drivers. Couldn't be happier.
Thank you for the positive feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to post a review.
Fantastic experience: What a flawless experience! We were dreading the entire process and Nicole seriously made it the easiest thing we’ve ever done. Extremely organized and communication was so appreciated! The driving instructors for both my boys were so personable and professional. We are very thankful we opted for Phillips! Thank you, Nicole and team!
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Our driver Julie was great with my daughter. The owner Tanya's follow up with customer satisfaction meant a lot to us also.
Thank you for the review! Julie is the best!
Fantastic experience: From start to finish they were undoubtedly professional, helped a difficult situation to become easier. Brian did a great job with the kids. We feel confident that they learned the skills they need for driving. I highly suggest Phillips driving school! Their online courses are a plus too!
Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Julie with Phillips taught both of my children to drive. She gave them enough confidence and knowledge to be capable and aware driver's. It was nice that she doesn't keep the car silent during driving because that just isn't a reality of life. I feel confident that they are actually watching what's going on around their vehicle instead of just driving on auto pilot. Creating defensive drivers (to avoid commissions where possible) takes years but I believe that they have a better start than most because of the lessons they were given. THANKS JULIE!!
Thank you for the review!
Negative experience: They make no sense literally. One of the worst things is that if you get a question wrong on the test and you have to retake it that’s fine. But it doesn’t tell you what you did wrong so you can’t fix it and you just have to retake it and retake it until you figure out what you did wrong it’s. Hella annoying do not recommend.
Lauren, sorry to hear of your frustration. Please don’t hesitate to call into the office for assistance, we would be more than happy to assist you. 208-898-0120
Negative experience: Joke, joke, joke! Tried reaching out to instructor with questions on how I can help my child improve in areas that she was struggling with no response. When I asked him in person the answer I got was that I can’t help her. Instructor had his mind made up before the skills test even began. No help offered even though the struggle was known.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my experience with them especially Bryon my driving instructor. I would totally recommend this place to any new driver.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We loved Jocelyn as an instructor for our daughter. She put our teen at ease with her conversation and made her look forward to each drive. Jocelyn even offered to pick our daughter up and drop her back off at home for the thirds drive and the end of the second, which kind of saved me during a very busy, over scheduled week. We’ve used Philips before for our son and will most likely use them again for our other two children.
Thank you!
Negative experience: GARBAGE school. You’re supposed to have EXPERIENCE driving before applying or else they will fail you and that’s $300 down the drain. Oh and don’t bother calling them because they will say it’s your fault♀️
Maria, this is simply not the case. Most students don't have any experience driving and that is why they take drivers ed. We may suggest driving on private property if the student is struggling to get extra time behind the wheel but this is rare and ultimately up to the parent and their comfort level. Some students may require more than the state minimum of 6 hours to be proficient (as in this case). We attempted to schedule additional driving lessons, in an effort to work toward PASSING the student, unfortunately we received no response back.
Fantastic experience: The instructors are nice, cool, and good communicators. They’ve made the learning very clear and easy so far.
Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: People are nice and welcoming!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I just finished my driver’s education here and it was great! The building is always nice and the cars are in great condition. As someone who had some practice with driving prior to driver’s ed, I feel so much more prepared and knowledgeable for driving with my permit and taking the tests in a few months; I know a lot more about the road now than before I started. Overall a wonderful school
Awesome Review! Thanks Melanie!
Fantastic experience: Super fun experience and I learned a lot
Thanks Parker!
Fantastic experience: Sometimes hard to reach the desk for payment but they try and Catherine is a wonderful teacher. I have experienced no other driving instructor like her. Thank you!
Catherine is the best thanks for your input!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! I just got my permit and I couldn’t be happier. Jermey Ehmke was the best driving instructor ever. So welcoming and didn’t make the driver boring. I really enjoyed myself!
Jeremy is great. Thank you for the kind review!
Fantastic experience: WOW! 100/100 for this driving school! Kendrick is the IF YOU DONT COME HERE YOURE A FOOL
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Kendrick his personal insight and stories helped me to better understand the importance of respecting the road and the other drivers. Andy my driving instructor was also phenomenal. He helped me to feel confident in my driving capability by offering step by step guidence whenever I needed it. Both of these men have greatly influenced my life by helping me to understand and be ready for this next phase in my life. Although I will always and forever call parking lots car parks (Andy's British) I'm utterly greatful for this experience.
Fantastic experience: This is a very fun class. The teacher (Kendrick) is super nice and tells very funny stories. He makes class entertaining and fun while still learning important things. The driving instructors are great and pretty chill ;)
Fantastic experience: Kendrick is lit I’d rate him 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000/0.000000005 tacos I recommend it to everyone
Fantastic experience: I had a good experience. The class is fun and it is MUCH easier to get into than the school run one. The drivers are very nice.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience my driving instructor and in class teacher made everything easy to understand and fun.
Fantastic experience: Phillips Driving School is great. It’s a fun place to learn and everyone is so nice and understanding. Perfect place for kids who are nervous about driving.
Fantastic experience: Jackie is a good driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: Registering our third young driver with them. They do a wonderful job of preparing our kids.
Fantastic experience: Skunks Spray or Licorice? Oh and Kendrick is a pretty good teacher
Fantastic experience: Kendrick is the best teacher out there. No one can top his magic tricks and his teaching is okayyyy. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to drive and laugh while learning. Kendrick should %100 be paid more!
Fantastic experience: Dis teacher cool, YEET! In all honestly, I’m going to miss being in this class after it’s over. Sir Kendrick the first (I think) makes this driving school better. He’s very funny, creative, and he makes it easy to learn. He teaches in a comedic way that makes it easier to remember notes. He should be paid more definitely. (Btw I am not being paid to say this, if I was this would be way longer). I will admit, his hypnosis tricks he shows us kind of scare me and I can’t sleep at night, but besides that. HE MAKES LEARNING FUN. I wish he was a teacher at my school. Teacher of the year! (Warning: Kendrick May make you possessed. If you are associated with Jesus, do not talk to this teacher. Also I am just kidding. He will also show videos of kids vomiting, that one I am not kidding)
Fantastic experience: Philips driving school is grand. They have this one guy, Kendrick the teacher, who is a splendid teacher. Would recommend this school. 10/10. Phenomenal
Fantastic experience: Trash... 5 Stars also Kendrick is pretty cool i guess
Fantastic experience: Best school ever, Kendrick is the best teacher, help out a lot. He cool man, he cool
Fantastic experience: It is a fairly decent establishment, based upon the bringing about of new, skilled drivers. They teach all about everything within the Idaho Driver's Manual. They help you accomplish all prerequisites to getting your permit. Including but not limited to: - 30 hours of in-class time - 6 hours of driving time - Driving test The building is quite nice, equipped with 2 bathrooms (one of each sex), a kitchen (with a small fridge and microwave), a projector, and much more. The school is okay by itself, but what really is its best feature is the staff. Specifically, the best in his field, world renowned, Kendrick. He looks a lot like Jim Halpert, which makes me feel as if I'm in a more safe environment. He does an amazing job at grasping all the students attention - by being both entertaining and educational. He is the ideal teacher for any scenario. There has not been a time I can remember, while he was teaching, that I have been actively bored. He is very comedic and brings good times to nearly every subject he teaches. To be comepletely honest, no amount they do or can pay him will be enough. In summary, the school is good, but in my honest opinion, it would be basically nothing without Kendrick.
Fantastic experience: Kendrick was an amazing teacher and walked us through every situation possible. He made it a very fun environment.
Fantastic experience: Kendrick is a G. Straight up
Fantastic experience: Kendrick is the best teacher ever
Fantastic experience: Kendrick was an amazing teacher and taught me so much
