Fantastic experience: Ms Hope is a really good instructor. She made me feel more confident about my driving and thought me things I never knew. I was confident for my rode test and got my license today as well so If you are looking for a driving school this is the best one.

Fantastic experience: If I could give 100 stars I would’ve , Mrs. Hope is a great driving instructor. I was so nervous about getting my license but she made it easy and understanding in class and driving , made me feel so comfortable getting my license yesterday I would recommend her to anyone child or adults she awesome!

Fantastic experience: She is a good teacher who is really nice and is good at explaining the rules of the road. She is not overbearing and you won't get nervous when driving with her. She is also very fair, one time she forgot a driving session that was scheduled and when notified about this, she apologize, ask if we can reschedule and even offered a refund. Overall there is no complaints. If you want a good driving teacher then she is the one.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Hope did such an amazing job as a knowledgeable and experienced driving instructor. The driving textbook was provided for studying and notes were strongly encouraged for future referencing, classroom time was conveniently scheduled and announced well in advance to schedule around. Communication with Ms. Hope was very transparent and punctual. I’ve enrolled multiple students in her courses who’ve commended her teaching ability and relatability. They have completed the course with confidence as new drivers and thoroughly enjoyed their driver’s education experience. The course was very affordable and she made it convenient to make payment(s). I would highly recommend B & L Driving School in Fayetteville, NC!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the experience with my Instructor Ms Hope. She was very professional and courteous. She put me at ease as an adult driver. Her methodology ensures you are a confident defensive driver! No hesitation for future recommendations!

Fantastic experience: Hope/BL Driving School came highly recommended to us and did not disappoint. She was phenomenal to work with and we are glad to pass along our recommendation as well.

Fantastic experience: I took Mrs. Hope's classes about 2 years ago and I now have my level 2 drivers license and continue to apply the safe driving skills she has taught me! I actually came to share this page and recommend her class to a family member and thought I would leave a pleasant review at the same time as a thank you!

Fantastic experience: This school is the best driving school ever! Amazing teacher. Everyday I get home I tell my mom how much I love it. She informs you with so much information, and answers any question without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor Ms. Hope Brown, is the best so far with teaching not just the critical skills on the road but also life skills. She is very passionate with her craft and explained every details of what needs to be learn in driving. She simplify things for you to understand it clearly and will even demonstrate for you to be able to do the right things for the sake of SAFETY. I do admire and appreciate her, for being so patient and so knowledgeable on what she shares to her students. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I will apply all what I learned from you Ms. Hope. Grateful for you Maam. See you around.

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Awesome! Mrs. Hope has prepared my entire family to drive over the last 12 years. My child was in her last class I must say with the stories my child told daily of how the kids behave in class its a wonder Mrs. Hope can get the children to do so well. Students constantly talking, passing out answers to eachother during class,mocking and recording the teacher while she reenacts a story he said she told about an encounter with someone who was at a restaurant and overdosed. To hear students were laughing at how the parent cursed the teacher. I was disgusted. But mine have thrived. Grueling job it seems she makes it look easy and this is coming from a former teacher. The fact she talks about Jesus MUST help. Thank you B&l. One more child to go! Mrs. Hope don't worry about disgruntled parents. Put the the students out and move on. You know there is always that one! You try but you can't please them all no matter how you try. Awesome. Awesome. Policy policy enforce it. I'm an entrepreneur and know how it can be! Parents we must do better! If you know your child isn't ready don't even waste her time or your money. Wait until they are mature enough.

Negative experience: Had 2 kids go through here. Unprofessional at best. Told my daughter even before she started the coarse that it was just a check the block thing and that we, her parents, would teach her what she needed to know. It’s a waste of $500, but apparently it’s required now for a Driver’s license and good luck getting into the coarse at school.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Mrs. Hope. Caring instructor. She was patient, professional, very thorough and unique teaching. I love her references and examples. She was very practical and explained things in an easy to understand way. Mrs. Hope watched me closely while driving picking out all the things I was doing wrong and gently corrected me. I have been to other schools here and in New York and this experience has been the most valuable out of them all to finally get me on my way with confidence. I got my license on the first attempt and my daughter has just completed the teen driver training and also got her permit. My husband drives with her most but even I feel confident to drive with her which is major for me. Thank you B&l driving school. Thank you Mrs. Hope!

Positive experience: Me and my daughter’s experience was great! Mrs. Hope taught the both of us a lot. I first did my classes with her and she taught me a lot. As an adult learner, I was nervous because I have never learned how to drive before but I’m glad that I had Mrs. Hope to teach me. She was very nice and patient with me. She was also very approachable and fun to be with. I only took the driving portion and through this, it helped me build confidence and overcome my fear of driving. She taught me everything starting from the basics and as long as you pay attention, you’ll do well. When I took my drivers test, everything she taught me was on there. I had a good time learning from her. My daughter also took her 30 hours of classroom learning and 6 hours of behind the wheel with her. She told me that her classes were fun and easy to understand. Although the classes were a bit long, they were engaging. When she took her driving portion, she said that she was nervous at first but when Mrs. Hope guided her through it, she started to build confidence. She now has her Level 1 Permit and I now have my Driver’s License. I could not be more pleased with this experience, and I want to thank Mrs. Hope for helping us, guiding us and being patient with us all throughout.

Negative experience: Place is honesty terrible and more then unprofessional, you really aren't gonna learn much here. Id recommend going to your in school drivers ed or anywhere else in Fayetteville, maybe even go to somewhere out of town. Anything is better than here really and you'll probably be playing less somewhere else also.

Negative experience: Completely awful! Do NOT send your kids here. Pulled mine out. Also BEWARE OF HER PRICING!!!! SHE CHARGES MORE FOR CLASSROOM PORTION THAN DRIVING!!! She does this because she is notorious for refusing to do drive hours with teens, so having paid higher price for classroom portion she still gets paid!! She takes her children to class with her, drives with a shower curtain between student and herself... the list goes on and on. DO NOT CHOSE BL

Fantastic experience: Ms hope is awesome person with a great personality this is a great driving school and you can learn almost everything you need in only just a FEW lessons ! It’s that good! 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: After 3 days into classes we couldn't be more pleased with the instruction given to our future driver. Our child has come home each day after class understanding that 1) driving is serious and a privilege 2) discussing all the information she's learned in class and even shared refresher information with us. 3) has become more alert even as a passenger noting what different signs indicate etc. As a parent with a new driver after my child completes this class and the driving portion I know I will be a little more at ease because our young driver will be armed with the knowledge and confidence needed for driving in our world today.

Negative experience: I would not give this particular school in Fayetteville, NC a rating. That would be too deserving. She could not waste her time to make a phone call to discuss the matter and would not allow me information to speak to the owner. The instructor, Hope Brown, treats it like the children are in a detention center because a child was doodling. Driving is stressful for teens as it is and that environment is toxic. The instructor will kick students out by her choosing and did not give an opportunity to discuss. When you make a student afraid, that is when accidents occur. Do not have your teens go to this school. I recommend the American Driving school on Hay St. they are professional and know how to communicate with teens. As i was leaving the school, a couple of students came to me and stated they felt my child was being targeted during class. That gave me major concern. My child was willing to apologize to the instructor if she felt disrespected. That takes a lot of maturity coming from any person to act as the bigger person. The instructor was not willing to accept that. The instructor will manipulate a review with dishonesty. Saying things that did not occur. Even her own words were that her 11 year old has a bad attitude. My child never said don't treat me like a dog. I posted the text conversation and she deleted them saying I made threats about a review. I stated I gave her school a chance with the poor ratings. she is consistently argumentative and needs to have the last word. She stated I contacted her,, but actually she contacted me first after hours and continued the conversation until late in the evening. my child is constantly praised by coaches and teachers what an amazingly person my child is. she makes straight A in school and attends early college. she would not know that. Alot of maturity goes into that.The instructor will never own up to her faults and take responsibility for her own behaviors toward others.

Negative experience: DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE!! It is so unprofessional . The lady who took my son out for his 6 hours of driving time. The first time for 3 hours and and another day the next 3 hours .. She went to dinner while she was supposed to be doing driver's ed and had my son set at the subway till she was done. ( we were paying for Driver's Ed not her Dinner time) When my son was driving whith her she would point in one direction and telling my son to go in a different direction. Myself and my husband have been working with our 16 year old son for over a year getting him comfortable with driving . At the end of the lesson I received a text from her (the only way we are able to communicate with her) tell me how awful of a driver my son was and that if he didn't address his problems by the next time she drove with him, that we would have to pay an additional $120 for 2 more hours of drivetime after we had already paid $300 for the 6 hours of drive time .Then she told me that it is not a automatic pass just because you took driver's education. But driver's education is just that "Education" you're learning how to drive, it's not a passer fail. We never was given a contract to sign . We was not given the rules or what we should expect in the driving time. After I received the text , we decided not to send my son back for the next 3 hours that he would need. I texted her and ask for a phone call finally . I received a phone call from her and we told her over the phone that we would not be coming back and ask for a refund because of the unprofessionalism that my son experienced. She ended up only giving us a $125 of our money back. I have sense contacted the North Carolina DMV. To let them know how unprofessional this business is . We also have Went to the Better Business Bureau.

Negative experience: Pls don't take any driving class from her, she won't respond to u, she is not organized... She will leave u in middle of class not responding you, I took class continuously from her, and she stopped responding me, she is not a good teacher at all ..don't trust her At least try to be honest with ur review mam, police will come and enquiry, u said u sent me messages I have not received, let police decide and take future decisions... Case is not yet closed .. Let police review the case...

Fantastic experience: I can only talk about the behind the wheel lessons cause that's all I did. Miss Hope is a great teacher. I was very nervous when I started learning, I had had bad experiences with other schools before, but she made me feel safe all the way. She would point out everything I needed to be careful about as we were driving, which made me feel more confident and less afraid. We started slow in quiet neighborhoods before we moved to traffic, and practiced the mandatory exercises (three point turns, backing, etc) a lot to the point that I did it perfectly on my road test! One thing to understand is that Miss Hope is doing everything alone on top of raising two kids and she is a busy woman, giving classes every day of the week. It's better to text her and to plan lessons ahead, and with a bit of organization there will be no problem. It's definitely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Attended B&L for the driving portion of Drivers Education; since CCS was running so far behind. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ms. Hope was an amazing instructor. I honestly learned more about driving during those 2 days than I ever thought possible. If I could give 10 stars I would. Ms. Hope definitely made me a better driver and prepared me thoroughly.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved this driving school. I was anxious about driving and she made me feel completely comfortable and explained everything perfectly. I took her class years ago and still remember all her driving tips and pass them along to others. Thanks so much!

Negative experience: Terrible communication and their only solution is to not deal with you and refund you. Very unsatisfactory service. Would never recommend to anyone!

Negative experience: I have called left messages and went by the company and have yet too get a call back are a answer.

Negative experience: No one passes the class brone

Fantastic experience: My teenager attended B & L Driving School over the summer. Miss Hope was very accommodating - since we ended up having to reschedule unexpectedly. Mrs. Hope was able to get him in another class with not too much trouble. I had heard nothing but good things about Mrs. Hope from my son. I would recommend them to friends and family with no hesitation. He passed on the 1st try! Thank you, Mrs. Hope.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and efficient. Will be recommending this business.

Fantastic experience: An amazing teacher who teaches extremely well and passes along the name of God. I recommend her to anyone who wants to ace their driving test and become an excellent driver!! If I could, I'd give her 100 stars!!

Negative experience: Terribly unprofessional. She was late to the very first class with no explanation or notification. My daughter said that her personal children and spouse interrupted every class and that she spent most of her time tending to their needs. Unorganized and unable to schedule my daughter's driving time. I had to contact her to schedule and when we finally pinpointed a time, she cancelled at the last minute saying she ate something bad. I had to track her down again to reschedule. She finally offered responded, offering new times on a Thursday, I responded on a Sunday and didn't hear back from her; I text her the day of only to find out that she gave the times away to another student without confirming with me. Terrible customer service. When I called her out on her unprofessional behavior she responded with an attitude and then continued to text me nonstop to defend herself and her actions, demanding "respect", etc, etc.... I repeatedly asked her to stop. She then refused to continue my daughter's driver's education and gave me an arbitrary refund based on a made up calculation. In the end, I will have to pay someone else to complete her driving to the tune of $300.00. Go somewhere else! While she seems kind, she obviously has too much on her plate to run a business competently.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Hope is hands down the best teacher for teens!!! My son has done excellent driving since taking the class last December and getting ready to sign my other son up this year!!! Worth every cent of your investment for private lesson and then some!

Fantastic experience: She some how taught my wife how to drive when she has ptsd from driving

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction. Methodical and practical. Very nice. Well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Hope is the best driving teacher ever! She was very patient with me and she truly teaches from the heart. Got my driving license on the first attempt, thanks to her. Thank you B&L Driving School!

Fantastic experience: This is a great driving school! Ms. Hope is an awesome and patient teacher.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Hope is awesome! I passed my driver's test after taking two lessons with her. She was very patient with me and also encouraging. I was so nervous about parking, let alone parking straight without hitting another car, and under her instruction, the first park I made was perfect! She was on time for her lessons and accomdating to my schedule. I would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Ms. Hope is awesome.

Negative experience: Beware. I would look elsewhere
