Driver Training Services - now a part of Coastline Academy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My son had a superb experience receiving drivers training through this Company over the past four months. He recently took his drivers test through them as well and passed without a problem. Sandy was his final driver instructor prior to his test and was a total professional! She is patient with the students, competent in her knowledge and a pleasure to work with. Craig, the drivers exam administrator, was outstanding in his evaluation of my son's driving abilities. Many thanks to both Sandy and Craig for all they do putting new safe drivers on our roads!
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your son had a superb experience with our driving training program and that Sandy provided such professional and patient instruction, and we’re glad that Craig’s evaluation contributed positively to your son’s driving journey. We truly appreciate your kind words about their dedication to fostering safe drivers.
Your support means a lot to us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to assist your son.
Fantastic experience: My experience with them was awesome! Sandy is hands down the best instructor you'll get. She doesn't just prepare you for the test, she makes sure you're good beyond that for when you actually drive. I only had the chance to practice and drive during lessons and in spite of this, I cleared my road test on the very first attempt with 0 points. Thank You Sandy!!
Congratulations Shreya on passing your test! We are so glad to hear your experience was awesome and we will be sure to share your kind words with Sandy.
Fantastic experience: Coastline was an excellent experience for my daughter! And we’re able to schedule the driving exam with Coastline instead of the DMV
Thank you, Sabrina for you kind words. We appreciate your 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: My experience was pretty good. I think the main reason it was a good experience is because the driver that I selected for all of my son's lessons was a totally awesome person. I selected Gary R. I could not have picked a better person!! Gary R. was so nice, so laid back and my son says a super great instructor and made him feel comfortable and at ease from the start. Each lesson was better and better. After the very last lesson Gary and my son were totally prepared to finally take the road test. The company and Gary R. provided an excellent experience for my son. I was extremely happy with the final outcome!! Request Gary!!!
Hi Christi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so glad both you and your son has a great experience with Coastline and that Gary was a good match for your son! We appreciate your 5-star review.
Negative experience: I came in today to take my test, and when my mom and I walked in there was one woman sitting there saying that they weren’t a testing school. We got a confirmation text saying to meet Paula at their exact address and we arrived ten minutes earlier. Sandy the woman in the store (mind you the only one in the store) called the front desk lady I’m assuming her name was Danny/Dani/something along those lines and had to look up our last name. What’s important to this story is my mom called two weeks before to make sure that I would be taking the test at DTS and she was reassured everything was good and set, but when we came in she said it must have “fallen through the cracks to tell us that they aren’t testing. It’s was a confusing 20 minutes for everyone. I’m just so disappointed because I’ve been practicing and my parents paid good money for people to schedule it for me and they get screwed. I loved my instructor Larry, but right now everything is too messy and not fair to everyone who wants their liscense and now I have to wait days to reschedule it because it takes two days to be put on the schedule and then I’m going to be out of the country so this whole situation is so unfair I wouldn’t recommend if you want to get your liscense ON TIME!! But thank you to sandy for professionals dealing with the problem while you had a lesson and Larry for training me. Wouldn’t recommend and I’m just disappointed that I can’t get it after waiting for so long.
Hi Tyler,
We were very sorry to hear about the experience you had. We have since spoken and were able to provide you with a road test just a couple of days after the experience as well as refund you for the cost of the test service to further rectify the experience.
We are glad that we were able to rectify the prior experience and wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: My son took the test and passed thanks to Joe! He was an amazing instructor and I would give him more stars if I could - he was not only patient but a really good teacher. Also, the testing person asked who his instructor was and said that he did a very good job with him. The only issue we had was we weren’t able to schedule a test through them because they were purchased by Coastline and weren’t able to do it for some reason. However, they refunded us quickly. We were able to get a test another way.
Kristy that is wonderful!
We are so glad Joe was able to provide such a great experience to not only your son but for you as well. We are sorry that we weren't able to accommodate a road test however Coastline will be offering the road test service at this location soon! Thank you for your 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: thanks charlie and paul
Sebastian, thank you for your 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: LARRY AND PAULA YOUR THE BEST!! Larry is an amazing driver instructor. He took me in with no driver knowledge and after 3 weeks of training and practice he whipped me in to a safe driver!! He gave me SO many tips and tricks to learn how to be a safe defensive driver! Paula is such a sweet and comforting instructor. When in it came to me taking the drivers test she made the test feel very comfortable and helped my confidence! I PASSED THANK TO BOTH OF YOU. All love goes to this place! 10/10 would recommend!!
Lex, that is fantastic to hear!
Thank you for sharing your experience and a huge congratulations to you in passing your road test!! We appreciate your recommendations and 5-star review.
Fantastic experience: Recently took and passed my drivers test!! Instructor was Michael and was very kind! I am happy to of paid to take my test here rather than be more nervous about going to the DMV.
Negative experience: Bad service. They told me to show up 15 minutes before my test but I was waiting there for 20 while my tester was giving a lesson. Then, when he got back he couldn’t even login to his own account so I had to take my test with someone else. Overall bad experience, wouldn’t recommend.
Hello,
We apologize about the extra time to wait for a driver's exam. We strive to learn and do better for our customers. Thank you for your comments.
Fantastic experience: My son had a parallel parking and driving lesson with Sandy she was absolutely amazing and just what he needed. He walked away feeling 100% more confident
Negative experience: Honestly, I don't see how a business that trains you on how to drive can be objective enough on how well they trained you to pass you for your drivers license better than Penn DOT. The person that I know that went here still can't drive on their own, by themselves, and I wouldn't trust them to take my car across the street. And when I ride with them it's scarier than HELL. If this place hasn't put someone on the road already and they've hurt someone, it's only a matter of time. Wow!!
We do follow the state guidelines on training and testing of all of our clients.
Fantastic experience: If you Chuck this loads options! If you like than you can carry! If you don't like you leave it!
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank the staff enough for the wonderful experience I had here! I talked to Rachel on the phone who was very helpful about getting me the right services I needed, helping me schedule an appointment as well as taking down my information and guiding me through the process. Rich was my instructor. He has a very calm demeanor and he addressed my concerns about being nervous. Rich carefully walked me through the process and told me there was no rush to finish the test as fast as possible but to take my time. He made me feel comfortable. I appreciate his kindness and the kindness of the staff at this facility. I had a few bad experiences with state testing centers, so I cannot recommend this place enough. It was really like night and day.
We are so glad that you had such a positive expierience with DTS. We do our best to safely help you get your driver's license. Rich, Rachel, and everyone at DTS appreciate your kind words. Drive safe and congratulations!
Fantastic experience: Boy was I a nervous wreck before learning amazing tips and tricks from Paula! I told her my biggest concerns about driving, and boom within a few attempts it was resolved. No matter where you are in your driving journey, DTS is there to help you! Plus, they have friendly staff :) Thanks again Paula and DTS for helping me receive my driver’s license
Negative experience: I would recommend saving your money. And taking your driving test at a regular DMV center.
Fantastic experience: I would give this place 10 stars if I could. As someone who never thought they could drive, Sandy was able to help me get my license. I would recommend this to anyone who struggles with anxiety or just needs a gentle instructor. Thank you!
Congratulations Helene! You did the work, but Sandy is definitely one of the best!
Fantastic experience: Sandy was outstanding! My son learned a great deal from her driving lessons and feels confident as a new driver as a result.
Sandy is one of the best! We are thrilled your son feels confident as a new driver. Keep up the safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Jim was very professional in teaching my teen son about safe driving. I liked the parent involvement in the driving sessions. This was very helpful for me to practice with my son. I will recommend this service to others and I will be using this service for my other son. Thank you.
We really like getting parents involved in the driver training. It not only helps the student and the parent, but allows your time/money to be used wisely. We look forward to your next son coming for lessons!
Fantastic experience: We were very happy with our experience with DTS. Our behind the wheel instructor, Jeff, was very patient and did a great job with teaching and test prep, and Bill, who conducted my daughter's test, was very kind and helpful in diffusing nerves before hand. The ladies in the office were very helpful, even when we needed to reschedule the test, they were able to get us a new date quickly. Communication was excellent. I would highly recommend DTS.
We are thrilled that the experience with DTS was such a positive one! We strive to make this process go as smoothly and as easily as possible.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and instructors :)
So glad you had a great experience at DTS! We strive to help people succeed in getting their license!
Fantastic experience: Did my practice driving with Sandy and she is so nice and amazing!!! Then I took my test with Rob and he is very nice and chill as well! Great experience!!!!
That is fantastic! We are thrilled that we were able to help reduce your anxiety during your driver's test. You did the work and earned it, but we love that we were a part of it!
Fantastic experience: The instructors are very patient and thorough. Customer service is friendly and very willing to work with your schedule. Highly recommend Driving Training Services.
We are so glad we could help your kids earn their driver's licenses. Tell them to keep looking left, right, left!
Fantastic experience: Sent both my children here for driving services and Jim was excellent. My daughter had her exam scheduled a few days after quarantine which had to be canceled but I received a follow up call to reschedule for when the quarantine was lifted. Great communication!
Fantastic experience: Bob and his team did a great job training my son how to drive properly. Taught safe driving skills. He passed his drivers test and he is so excited.
Fantastic experience: Great drivers licensing exam experience here with instructor and driving examiner Diego LaLuz. Even though my girlfriend was only here for an exam, after passing Diego provided useful feedback on how to improve and become a safer driver. Recommended!
Fantastic experience: Our son had a wonderful experience with Driver Training Services. His instructor was excellent - providing thorough driver's education, while also making him feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: My son received his drivers license today thanks to the careful and thorough instruction of his instructor Sandy. She was kind, patient and most of all always honest and helpful with her critique of his driving. Very happy with our experience here and would definitely recommend them if you have a teenager behind the wheel. My 16 year old daughter will be going there next!
Fantastic experience: Great experience, I took my drivers test here last week and the examiner was very helpful with giving me tips to help me pass.
Fantastic experience: Had the privilege of taking my Cdl exam with the owner. Very professional and patient in my own opinion. Alerted me of mistakes that i had no idea i made which help me improve.
Negative experience: This place is horrible! I took my son here for a driver’s test and they berated him during the test, and again afterwards. Not even to mention the fact that his tester (the owner) wrote everything he supposedly did wrong (all very picky stuff) on the back of his ACTUAL driver’s permit. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE who has not taken their driver’s course, as I’m sure that’s the reason that he was failed so harshly.
Fantastic experience: My teenage daughter recently had driving lessons with Bill Krzemien with Driver Training Services. Bill was wonderful and very patient with my daughter. She did very well with the parallel parking. With each lesson her confidence grew. The whole team at Driver Training Services are so wonderful also! I highly recommend this service to anyone who is learning to drive!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with AAA Driving Trainer Services. My instructor was efficient and arrived very early before each lesson. In the beginning I had difficulty in parallel parking, but by the end of the course I felt a lot more comfortable doing so. All staff were friendly and professional and I would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with my visit to driver training services today. The employees were incredibly welcoming and friendly which made me feel very at ease before my drivers test. I absolutely recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Makes it so easy to learn
