Fantastic experience: Instructors Paul, Efrain, and Armando were all super nice and would recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Btw has exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: We originally booked my son’s classes through AAA and that was horrible. After months he’d only managed to book 2 lessons. Behind the Wheel saved the day and got my son ready in a decent time.
Negative experience: I just was almost ran off the road by this INSTRUCTOR. If he is the example, omg. I was so shocked cause then he v-lined another driver to get on the freeway. It is like he was on drugs!
Hello BVL , that vehicle is not part of our school fleet. You have the wrong school. Please be so kind as to remove your review. Again you have the wrong driving school. Thank you
Negative experience: I am a loyal customer of Behind the Wheel and have had 8+ lessons with them over the years. I have had great experiences with my drivers instructors but have had 2 incidents where I was not compensated for. A year and a half ago, my instructor was 2 hours late because they were told the wrong time. And for my most recent lesson, my driver had to cancel 12 minutes beforehand for an understandable issue, but I was not compensated by the supervisor for the rescheduling date. I am not one to leave complaints, but I am very disappointed in how I was treated as a customer especially after being with them for many years. I feel that if a customer has to pay a $75 cancellation fee if they don’t cancel 2 days before their lesson, the business themself should not be able to cancel my lesson 12 minutes before without compensation as a double standard.
