Capitol Area Driving Test Site

Negative experience: I have been a little nervous about posting my review on this place but now that I see the others I’m not so scared to share my experience. I really thought this place was the place to go, I went to school at EV a few years back and live right down the street so it just seemed perfect I know the area and thought itd be a breeze. I have been driving since I was 16 I was 19 or 20 when I went and took my road test, I passed the written first time no problems so I was feeling confident. As soon as I get to the area the man testing me was rude and seemed in a rush and not to care mind you it seemed like he scheduled his testers back to back because the parking lot had at least 3 testers waiting (what a way not to make someone more nervous?) I have severe anxiety so I was already literally shaking but I know how to drive so I was okay. I start my test with pulling up to the line I can admit I was way far back and deserved the point that wasn’t the issue, there was not only a group of parents/testers in a circle talking very loudly about how that’s NOT what they want to do and how bad I was doing but also my tester chit chatting them up laughing away and agreeing with them, it surely did not help my anxiety so once the instructor walks up to my car I ask very politely but also super nervously if I could roll my window up because them laughing and talking was making me more nervous and distracted, the instructors response was “ well there’s going to be distractions with driving” as I understood that I just don’t think a group of people as well as a person that is suppose to uplift new drivers and help them be confident on the road is going to or is suppose to act and speak to a new driver just trying to get there lives together or even anyone driving and if they are at least your driving you know? It’s not like there right next to you while doing something for the FIRST time to let you know just how bad you are doing. 70$ down the drain and I have yet to go to any road testing places since this interaction was so belittling. I really hope they either get better instructors or re-teach the ones they have about human decency and common Curtesy to others as children come here for confidence and learning things that’ll help in the future, if I as an adult felt the way I did I can only imagine a child. I’m also going to throw in here that Mr.Rs is a wonderful place for first timers, adult or child they really have people who care about road safety and set you up for success!

Positive experience: Nothing over the top but exactly what it needs to be. Great place to practice when they aren't running tests for parking!

Negative experience: Intentionally fails you to retest. Ben arrived very unprofessional and sloppy. My son passed everything up until the last part of the test when he instructed my son to "turn left" when he meant to merge. My son did as instructed and he immediately said "fail". When we pointed out his misdirection he would not take accountability. This company just wants to take your money. Please stear clear and especially do not get scheduled with Ben.

Negative experience: 0 star to Frank! Rude/ inpatient/ disrespectful/ also RACIST We at the site to practice.. our road test time at 11:45pm.. at 11:25 he came up to us and make us stop and go to the main site to get ready.. as I was explaining to my brother who doesn't speak English. He kept interrupting us and told us to get in his car and start the test. As I explaining to my brother he kept stopping us. We still have 10-15mins before our test time. FRANK were very rude and inpatient with us.

Negative experience: Frank has no empathy and is just generally rude
