River City Driving School

Negative experience: I know that everyone has bad reviews for RCDS. It is awful and all of the reviews are true. I was overwhelmed trying to figure out which company to choose. I will save you the hassle. Just call Glenn at Excelsior Driving School. He saved us when we were in the middle of dealing with this RCDS scam for 3 months. Glenn got us all done in less than 2 weeks. RCDS still owes us our behind the wheel and have said they will refund us but have not. I feel for the scam when Kendall, the owner's wife, blamed the bad service on the death of her mother in law. I felt bad for them and said that we would go with them and trust that they were trying to turn things around. They were not. They are a scam. Their office is boarded up with a message from the DMV to email complaints to them.

Negative experience: I had a great experience with River City Driving School in the spring of 2023. Some occasional communication errors, but nothing egregious. I have not driven for the better part of two years and decided to schedule extra practice sessions with them. No response. No calls back, had to leave a message constantly. Hundreds of bucks spent on nothing. I did file a dispute with Discover, and won the dispute against them! Would not recommend at all!

Negative experience: I cannot recommend enough to STAY FAR AWAY from this business. They took our money and will not respond to calls or texts to set up Behind the Wheel. We have been trying for months. Going to have to lose the money can go elsewhere.

Negative experience: This place is a scam. I prepaid for “behind the wheel” for my son. They were very communicative BEFORE I paid and to set up a schedule. Then they were nowhere to be found on the first two scheduled driving appointments. They finally responded to calls, texts, emails three days later to apologize. At that point I told them to forget it. I had to call AmEx to decline the charges as they didn’t respond to my requests for a refund. Place should be closed for good.

Negative experience: DO NOT USE THIS PLACE! They are a SCAM!! I drove to the office to try to talk to someone in person. They closed! People in that building said they cleaned out and closed up and haven’t been there in forever and sometimes they see them driving the driving school cars, but never in the building. They stole $600 from me. Didn’t offer the online courses as they were supposed, they won’t return emails or phone calls. This is a SCAM and everyone should be aware. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
