Vision Driving School LLC

Fantastic experience: This review has taken way too long because I promised the gentleman who retested my son after the driving school in Bothell that's run cops failed him for some nonsense that I'd give him a good review. I feel like even though the state driving test has become rather arbitrary that this was far more fair than this other school, which has a reputation for failing people repeatedly. I'd gladly bring my son here again.

Fantastic experience: My instructor was great. Especially lived that he was willing to meet after normal work hours to help me get my testing done for both the written and the drive. Great experience.

Negative experience: "It's okay for the owner to call and give excuses for being late or closing his office before you arrive because he forgot he had an appointment with you. That was my first experience with the owner. I let it go and returned the next day. However, it's not okay for you to call and make excuses for being unable to come. The owner will get upset.

Fantastic experience: Gezahegn is very kind and professional.

Fantastic experience: My license was needing to be reviewed and the DOL was unable to schedule an appointment for another month and a half. Well, obviously I was needing to drive within that timeframe so I looked up the nearest driving school. It was a Saturday and I dropped in and was able to take my written right then and there. An hour later, I was able to take my driving test. That Monday, I was able to have my license renewed immediately. Not only this, the testings were very affordable and the service was prompt and honest. I am always grateful for quick and easy services like this. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Im in my 30s, have been hestiant to learn to drive, lots of nerves. My instructor was Mr G - he was calm and patient. After 6 private classes i was ready to take my test and passed! We even did freeway driving. I am now comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Vision!

Negative experience: This driving school is the worst experience I’ve ever experienced. The owner does not know how to teach anything and very useless. Payed full price for nothing. The attitude is the worst, whenever I make an appointment for a drive there is no one, he always comes late and makes me wait when my dad has work and just a wast of time. Their the worst at making appointments and their time. Even when you give them a call they don’t even answer. Had to cancel my driving 3 times because he says that he “didn’t see that there was an appointment scheduled”. I even I had to leave this school and go to a different one because It was the worst ever. I recommend to never come to this driving school and best to go to the 911 driving school!!

Fantastic experience: Mr G is awesome! He helped me prepare for the drivers test and I passed first time no problem. I was super relaxed and didn’t feel any pressure while driving with his instruction, he gave me all the confidence I needed. I definitely recommend this school over 911 Thanks Mr G

Fantastic experience: My experience was great in learning driving... I used to drive way back in 2005 or so but had a right foot surgery (2008) and after that had lost confidence over driving... here I was guided perfectly and I regained my driving confidence. On Road test was not easy for me to pass (my mistakes) but finally did get through and got my license... I strongly recommend this place for all those who are new and even who are out of touch with their driving skills to come and learn the concepts of driving and traffic rules correctly! Best wishes and regards!

Negative experience: Very rude african man, broke English and very bad expirience with this man

Fantastic experience: What about this driving school? It's the best driving school in Washington and the area, they are attentive, kind and patient people. It is also a more human service, the qualification process is fast, this helps a lot. Of course if you pass the tests. I recommend this place, I have had some experiences in other places and here I feel safe.

Fantastic experience: He is very good instructor and easy to communicate. He clearly explains all your mistakes and you can quickly understand & correct them. I went to 911 also but I learnt a lot here in vision driving school in short period of time and passed my driving test. And also the appointments are very flexible.

Fantastic experience: Vision Driving School has been a blessing for my daughter. She is a confident driver, thanks to them. They are patient and knowledgeable and they sincerely care about their students.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and patient instructor Enjoyed during my lessons I would highly recommend everyone to join this school

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, I took hours with him and also took the tests they both went very smooth.

Negative experience: ****BE AWARE! EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL*** I don't know where to start... I booked driving test with this school, I have more than 5 years of driving experience from overseas. I can't Imagine how that would be if you are a new driver. starting from the booking. we booked on September 9 for September 30th at 10 am. His system does not have half hour increments. He claimed that our appointment is 9:30 and I cannot have the driving exam this day. no respect what so ever for your time or schedule. the test: here is when the un-professionalism got its peak! I was given instructions to go straight unless the instructor direct you differently. the instructor was distracted by reading his notes as we are approaching green light about the cross the intersection at full speed. then he said "hey turn right here!" that would require changing lanes and crossing a pedestrian cross walk. it was extremely unsafe to do that. you can imagine how nervous someone can be when taking a driving test. I blindly followed his directions and was too scared not to follow it. I almost hit someone! He failed me and we did not complete the test. another test was booked; at the very beginning of the test I was approaching a 2 way stop sign. I did not cross it. as I am approaching the instructor told me to stop. he said that he was not supposed to give me directions and then he ended the test 5 min after it started. in conclusion: - if you care about your time. - if you care about your $$$ - if you care about your safety. S T A Y A W A Y F R O M T H I S S C H O O L !!!

Negative experience: Awful customer service.

Fantastic experience: This is the best ever school I could recommend for people taking driving school, it's the best and very professional, I hope they could soon be able to provide translation services for knowledge, my wife speak little English and she could not took the knowledge test in English, DOL office is about 3 months away to schedule an appointment with translator, I hope Vision Driving school can do something for us. Thank you Vision

Negative experience: Do not go to this place. went here to do my drive test i was very confident and they failed me they are not even cops. so my husband booked me in 911 and right away i was passed. i did the same driving as i did in this place. they just want your money so they will keep on failing you so they get their business still going. go to 911 instead..

Fantastic experience: I had a bad experience with my previous driving school and it was really hard for me to trust any other driving school. Then my friend introduced me to this one, I was hesitant at first but she assured me that the instructor is really good. My friend was in a car accident and she has her trauma with driving since then but she took his class and passed the driving test. Therefore, I went and signed up for his class. It turned out so much better than I expected. He is really calm and detail in every step. He explains everything you need to know as a driver, even how to check if your car still in a good condition or not. After every lessons, he goes over everything to give you a very detail feedback, I always got a long list of what are my mistakes in the beginning but at least I know where do I need to focus on. He is also very easy going when it comes to scheduling classes, just tell him ahead of time so you will have privilege to choose your appointment. Sometime he might be a little late for his appointment but don’t worry you still get the same amount of time you sign up for. And you can ask him if you are ready for the driving test, he will give you options and leaves the decision to you.

Fantastic experience: Gezahegne is a very kind, capable and excellent trainer. For new student Vision driving school is the perfact place. I wonder him... He is a nice techer with very good personality and respect. NO ONE BELIVE ME BUT I TOLD YOU. I want to say thank you him becuase I am a perfact driver and pass the driving skill exam with in one month.

Negative experience: DO NOT GO!!! He is just a money seeker. From the second I walked in and saw the guy I knew there was something fishy about him. He was finishing up with two other student drivers and the look on their faces said a lot but I didn't listen to my instinct. The instructor charged them sent them on their way and it was my daughter's turn. We filled out all of the necessary paperwork and he told my daughter "Go get in the car and I will be there", I got in the back seat and when he showed up he said "Get out, you cannot go". I respected his decision and waited the 25min he said they would return. When they did he got out of the car and went into the office without a word. I asked my daughter what happened and she said that he made her run red lights , make sudden left and right turns, and an illegal move "Make a right turn at the next corner then immediately stop, and back around the corner ." My daughter said a car was coming down the street and he said to continue and my daughter was scared and attempted to swerve to avoid the car. He immediately stopped the test and failed her. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!! All other reviews are simply because he passed them. But keep reading.

Fantastic experience: This school is the best driving school I am the woman who was afraid of driving. Using Vision School, I learned driving very well. I am driving well now

Negative experience: If i could give no stars i would. He let me come in, schedule the test and have everything basically ready. And next thing I know, I was told my knowledge test is expired, but it's not. I have an active permit I can only get BY PASSING THAT TEST. When I decided whatever I'll pay for both tests, he closed the office and drove off, no tester or anything (after telling him I had a small time frame to complete this in). Overall just really bad service, so yourself a favor and go someplace else. Idk why this place has good reviews, but it's misleading.

Fantastic experience: Mr. G is a great teacher, he provide you with all that you need to become a confident, good and most important a safe driver, explains everything with lots of patience, teach you to park super well (I parallel park much better than many people I know that have 10+ years driving!!), he also gives you good feedback after every class! I’ll recommend him 100%, cuz since I got my lincease I felt safe amd confident with my driving, I already drove from South Oregon to the Olympic Peninsula Washington (9+hours), at night and under heavy rain without hesitation!!

Fantastic experience: Good service

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor. I took driving lessons from him and also my driving test. He is very patient person, good observer, explains the things nicely, and gives very good feedback. I would recommend this school for lessons and test.

Negative experience: This guy is very bad

Fantastic experience: Three friends joined the school and Gezahegn was very patient while teaching and took personal care about each driver. He was also super accommodating about the schedules. Would definitely recommend this driving school to others

Fantastic experience: The best experience. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to drive! I drove for the first time with Gezahegn and I was completely freaked out yet he was calm and composed which made my first drive a success. Throughout the course he made everything easy to understand and explained concepts well. He is very flexible with scheduling drives and accommodating to everyone's schedules. I'm glad to have attended Gezahegn's Driving School and eventually get my license under his expertise!

Negative experience: Terrible teacher who just wants to make money from you. Charge me for 120$, at the end he said "I'm sorry but I got a lot of people waiting for me" :) I pass the skill test in the same day at the 911:)

Fantastic experience: I usually don't write reviews but this time I just had to as I had a fabulous experience with this school and absolutely recommend it to anybody looking for driving lessons. Mr. Gezahegn is an amazing teacher, his instructions are clear and he gives immediate feedback which helps a lot. I really liked that he was so patient as it helped me develop confidence in my driving skills. Like the other reviewer said, don't bother looking into other schools, they are overpriced, non flexible in their schedules and don't give you one on one in depth instruction. I am a busy grad student and Mr. Gezahegn was extremely flexible with scheduling classes, another huge plus was that Mr. Gezahegn would pick and drop me from the bus stop for the driving classes, as I was coming all the way from downtown and did not have anybody to drive me to the center. I highly recommend Vision driving school and Mr. Gezahegn for driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: Driving with Gezahegn has been a great experience. He was very professional, firm about safety and practiced the mistakes that I made on the road again and again till i get it . He is very lenient and helpful. and I am glad that I made the right decison for choosing vision driving school.

Fantastic experience: Gezahegn Kassaye is by far the best driving instructor I've had in my life. When other instructors yell at you and point at your mistakes, Gezahegn is just the opposite - he is kind, respectful and very patient. His techniques are solid - I learned how to parallel park in just one lesson - and he is always very clear about the rules of the road - and he has such a kindred heart that he supports you in your struggles and helps you believe that you can DRIVE! I always feel safe when I am with him in the car, and I know that whatever mistakes I make, if I listen to Gezahegn and do well to listen, your ability to gain driving skills will be a thousandfold. Try it! And let me know how it turns out for you! I just drove a house guest we had to the airport and back, the ride smooth as butter. It's beautiful to drive. And it is possible for you!

Fantastic experience: Since I had not driven a car before, Mr. G's (as he is popularly called!) driving classes helped me immensely in becoming a confident driver. He is a very good trainer who emphasizes a lot on driving according to rules and ensures that you not only learn all the rules but also effectively implement them while driving. His mock tests help you get a very good gist of 'what to expect' on your final driving test and points of improvement. His trainings will certainly help in getting you through your test with best score. Importantly, it will also push you to become a safe and responsible driver. Huge Bonus: if you are working and can't spare time on weekdays to give your tests (written and driving), Mr. G is the right go-to person as he is flexible and would help you knock-off your tests on weekends.:) In short, Mr. G's classes are great to get you started with steering wheel.
