Fantastic experience: Rest in peace David

Fantastic experience: Mr. David is professional and punctual. Just tell him what are your weaknesses and he start working right on it. He makes sure that the driving experience is safe and you are improving on your weaknesses. He took me to interstate to boost up my confidence and also made my lessons very productive. He is the best driving instructor in town.

That is so nice! You have made my week! Good luck in all your do and thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot. :-)

Negative experience: Terrible experience. During the lesson the instructor would take phone calls, we went to go get his car washed, and when i made mistakes he would continuously push on my thighs which made me extremely uncomfortable. Also failed to mention that his dad and sister had covid, only found out while he was talking to his dads doctor over the phone during my lesson. He did teach me some things but whenever I made mistakes he would seem annoyed then laugh it off. Overall not a very good experience would get ur lessons elsewhere

1EZ Driving School

Ok. I clearly don't understand your generation.

1) You stated I took phone calls. My response: Yes, I did.

The phone calls told me that both my sister and 94 year old father had tested positive for Covid-19! I was shocked, shattered and heart broken during the first moments of that call. I did take another call from the doctor to get more information on their status. You also listened to this call with the diagnosis and care plan from the doctor.

Let me put it like this -

IF you EVER choose 'job' over family in a family emergency then you have the wrong job, wrong family OR wrong heart! I chose with my heart and would again. I took the calls.

You stated I should have notified you of their diagnosis before the lesson. If you think about this one, the call came DURING YOUR LESSON - which makes alerting you before - impossible.

Next, you stated that I would 'push on your thigh.' You had 3 lessons (6 hours) and never mentioned this. BUT I will explain how I don't touch anyone. With your hands at 10 & 2 = my left hand can move to 3 or 5 on the side of the wheel to make any wheel adjustments to keep the car on the road. Unless your thighs are around the wheel - there will be no touch. You could have also moved the wheel up higher if needed. Everything adjusts.

Your brother (Malibu JoneZ) wrote that he didn't like my political opinion and thought I was unprofessional for my thoughts. OK - here's my response. We are all human, we all have opinions (they are like belly buttons - we all have them) and sharing ones opinion is called a conversation which we do have in the car. We talk about driving laws, rules, crazy drivers, thoughts .... and what ever comes up to help a student relax.

And finally - should you get that phone call to tell you your family has COVID - take it. You will want that week or day or just one more moment to tell them all you wish you had before. And if you have a chance to have a conversation with someone else - just do it. And hope you learn something, discover the differences , expand on the topic , look at your world in different ways and grow.

* Just learned their condition is mild - we pray and hope you will too.

Malibu JoneZ 4 years ago

Negative experience: Absolutely terrible experience, first and foremost his family had COVID 19 and he didn’t notify us we only found out because he was CONSTANTLY on calls during the class and he mentioned his sister and dad have COVID 19. When we told him we wanted to cancel the classes he got defensive and said “this why i charge for all the classes up front” thank god we decided to pay class per class. Secondly this man needs to get a maintenance check on his car his alignment is seriously messed up and on top of that he’d constantly nag me and tell me to let off the break WHEN HE WAS THE ONE ON THE BREAKS. 3rd and lastly I did not appreciate him pushing his political views on me constantly during the drive, it was extremely unprofessional. Would 1000% take your money somewhere else

1EZ Driving School

*Your sister drove before you daily - Sana. See response above.

1.) Your sister was driving when I got the phone call from the doctor telling me my father and sister had tested positive for Covid. You and your sister learned the news when I did. So - expecting me to notify you before the lesson - when the doctor called DURING the lesson - is just impossible.

2.) Telling you to 'let off the brake.' Yes, I did say that. It isn't nagging - it is teaching. So - let off the brake, relax and learn to press & let off smoothly to gain better control.

3.) You don't like my opinions. OK. Not a problem. Just pick different topics. During the drive, I do try to keep conversation moving so I know a student is alert, getting comfortable and responding. It also helps gage their nervousness, fear etc.

4.) Finally, I do charge up front for lessons (all schools do) when students ask me to hold specific days/times just for them. Paying up front assures me the student will attend and helps me plan how many students I can take each week to control my schedule.

It's ok to start or stop any kind of lessons with or without a reason. I just think trashing a service or person is not ok especially when we've had days and hours together and at no point did either of you make any suggestions. I would tell you my ideas to practice and what to do each day and each day, you were both happy with the choices. Good communication is also a part of all learning. It's a challenge.

Fantastic experience: By far the best way to finish your 6 hours behind the wheel. David is the BEST driving instructor in the game! He’s helped me build confidence behind the wheel and especially on the highway! He made everything so “EZ”. Thank you very much 1 EZ Driving School. Will definitely recommend y’all to all my friends and family! 10/10 experience!

Fantastic experience: David was fantastic for my 15 year old daughter!! David was very patient. He showed up on time every day to drive. Most Driving instructors are grumpy and angry. David is not any of this. My daughter said he was fun to learn to drive with. She learned so much about driving.

1EZ Driving School

Thank you so much for your kind review! I love watching students learn!

Brianna Anthony 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best experience ever! David definitely knows what he is doing and provides simple but great instructions while driving. This was my FIRST time on the road and I felt 100% safe. I drove for 2 hours and it definitely didn’t even feel like 2 whole hours. I will be booking David and 1ez Driving School for the remaining of my lessons! I highly recommend, you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: David is a great instructor. He helps the student driver to understand the concepts in a very easy manner and thereby making driving a pleasant experience. Very professional and punctual. He made me boost my confidence and that helped me pass the road test in the first attempt. I would recommend David for the first timers or anyone wanting a refresher course.

Fantastic experience: David....best driving instructor ever. He's very punctual. Great customer service, extremely patient and a lover of music. Pick up and drop off included in package with practice road test. I got my driver license on my first try and I would never have been able to accomplish that without him. I am from Jamaica where I never had to learn to drive and at my age, I was scared to drive but David made it possible. Thank you David. You are what you say you are....1 EZ DRIVING SCHOOL. Because you made it easy!

Raven Livingston 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first started driving with David I didn't have much confidence in myself however that was not the case with David he saw my potential as a good driver and he also saw the potential for me to pass and get my driver's license I had a wonderful experience driving with David his encouraging words and patience gave me confidence and that was enough for me to pass the driving test and get my driver's license I'm happy to say that without David I probably would have had a lot harder time getting my license with David it was easy I would definitely recommend this to any first time driver or nervous adult because if I can pass then anybody can pass

Fantastic experience: David is a wonderful instructor. I always looked forward to his driving lessons. Not only did he teach me all there was, to learn about driving, he also helped boost my confidence by making me drive over long distances and in all sorts of weather. Plus the way he prepped me up for the driving test, there was honestly no way I could actually fail that. I totally recommend his driving lessons!

Grantley Morrison 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Called last minute needing a driving lesson, new to the area, needed transportation. Not only was I able to schedule an appointment, David was able to fit me in, very flexible to my busy schedule; picked me up and instructed me all the way up until my test. Passed with flying colors. David is an honest teacher with excellent people skills, and if you're a new driver or even just need to brush up on your should, then this is the right place.

1EZ Driving School

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I try hard with every student.

Tobi Ladipo 7 years ago

Negative experience: He is a very nice man but he is very money and ask for extra because i was 2 minutes late and took our 200 dollars

1EZ Driving School

I wish you would have talked to me then and I'm sure I could have answered any questions you had about the billing. But I do remember you paid by the day and there wouldn't have been any extra charges to a daily rate. Please give me a call anytime and we can talk about it.

Rose RF 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great Experience! Mr Denning, is a great instructor.. very patient didn't yell at me even if committed a mistake. He would just explain it to me nicely, what I did wrong and we'll just do it again. The last day of my lesson he told me that I am ready and I am going to pass my road test the next day.. Hearing him say that boast my confidence that I can do it. I am a new driver and I passed my road test on my first attempt.. My husband is pleased and I couldn't be more happy... I would definitely recommend this company to anyone whose looking for a good driving school. Thank you so much for your help Mr Denning..

1EZ Driving School

Thank you so much for your kind words, I sincerely appreciate it ! Working with students like you makes me love the job all the more! Thanks again. :-)

Alyssa Colon 8 years ago

Negative experience: I have a good bit of time behind the wheel but not my own vehicle so I needed one in order to take the test. I decided to go with this school because they offer use of their car for the driving test for a fee which I found reasonable. The instructor was friendly over the phone so I wasn't nervous about driving with them. However, the actual lesson was a nightmare. David was my instructor and he physically hurt me during the lesson a few times when I did something he identified as wrong. He slapped my hand and grabbed and squeezed my leg several times, causing me physically pain and making me feel scared to be in the car with him. He was also very abrasive and condescending towards me which only made me more nervous and made me make silly mistakes I wouldn't usually make behind the wheel. I will never use this driving school again and will never recommend to anyone either! if it wasn't for the fact that he took my money from me up front, I wouldn't have paid him at all!

1EZ Driving School

I am absolutely shocked and devastated by your comments. Here is what happened. You stomped the brake bringing the car to almost a full - dead stop. An 18 wheeler was behind us getting closer. When a student doesn't respond to 'NO Brake, NO Brake!' or verbal directions - well, yes, I did push/pull your leg OFF the brake pedal as fast as I could while I watched the rear view. But I did it to keep us safe. That is the only type of accident an instructor is afraid of and we can do very little to prevent. It is certainly a death defying moment that thank god rarely happens. That 18 wheeler couldn't stop like you did and getting us both safe was my only thought. During those moments your hands grabbed for the wheel like a drowning person latches on to a life raft and jerked hard right to get the car to do - something. You knew we had to move and you tried to fix the error. I moved to steady the wheel and we did 'bang' hands. I didn't 'hit' you and you didn't 'hit' me. But I can tell you from my 15 years experience that as a student gets excited pulling the wheel - my left wrist takes several dings during each day. You are an outspoken 30-something year old professional from New Yorker who manages a wine shop. We chatted the whole 2 hours and I had no clue you weren't happy. You directed our whole lesson and we did practice everything you asked for. You were disappointed I didn't think you were ready for the road test but I did think you understood my reasoning. While I've spent time trying to understand your motivation with what you've written, I did notice that you have given a total of 11 Google Reviews in about a 6 month time period. All 11 reviews are equally destructive to different business or employees. You've about cost me my job, my income and all I've worked for and to be honest, I don't have a clue how we can over come your damage. But more than anything here, my heart breaks for the servers and other workers you've trashed. I'd bet their employers didn't give them a chance. I did learn you can earn prizes with Google if your reviews are 'liked' by enough people. It's an ugly game you play.

Charlotte Pak 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Received my license after a week of lessons. David is a patient instructor and easy to understand. I got enough practice to do well on the DMV road test.

1EZ Driving School

Thanks so much Charlotte and Congratulations ! I love helping people learn to drive and see them get the license for the first time. It's exciting for us too!

TeresinaJeanRobert Raphael 8 years ago

Negative experience: This guy started out fine but then turnd ugly after just two lessons. He was mad we paid for lessons individully. After completing two lessons I scheduled 3 more for a packet. We canceled one due to unpredictable circumstances. He then canceled the next lesson because he was mad. When calling to confirm my last lesson he acted rudely and hostile. I told him he seemed like he did not want our money. He told me to keep my money and he would never do lessons again. Now when you are paying almost $100 per lesson you would think you could get some service. His response is that he had no way to get his money back for the lesson we missed. ( Really OUR money). His reaponse- and I quote, " I am too busy for cancelations." Well obviously too busy for my money. Found another service that came highly recommended. Dont use this guy.

1EZ Driving School

I'm really sorry you feel this way but at the time, you had canceled a couple of lessons just before we were to start and I was almost there. I just got frustrated because other students wanted that same time spot and you never called early enough for me to give that time to others. This kept me behind and other students had to wait longer for lessons. We did talk about this and I thought we mutually agreed that it just wasn't working. I do ask students to give me as much notice as they can if they can't make a lesson. That way, I can keep all students on time and happy. Sometime, it is just difficult to juggle but I am sorry you didn't understand why I needed to end lessons with your family.

Fantastic experience: I received my license middle of last year. I had David as my instructor and he was amazing! Made you feel very comfortable and very confident. I would definitely recommend him to anyone first time driving or needing a refresher course. Very professional. Thanks for the country music and good talks!

1EZ Driving School

Thanks so much Alex! It just makes my day to see the positive feedback! I love my job!

SaintSlimm 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently relocated from London in the UK to Charlotte, NC, and at 34 had never learned to drive. With Charlotte not having the level of public transport I was afforded in London, I had to learn, and quickly. I made a great choice in selecting to drive with David at 1EZ Driving School! After just 5 lessons over the course of a week I feel confident behind the wheel, and where I was once anxious at the thought of driving, I now look forward to it. David's teaching was relaxed but authoritative, so I felt completely at ease once I had settled in to driving, and I knew I had his support to stop me from making catastrophic mistakes! All in all I had a great time with David and can only urge you to give him a call, whether you need to start from scratch or just need some pointers in certain areas, David will get you sorted.

1EZ Driving School

You just made my day! And thank you so much for the positive feedback! I love my job and get just as excited to see each new student get a license! Thank you again!

Michelle Boesch 12 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm an adult (30 years old) and always avoided learning how to drive for a number of reasons, mainly really anxious behind the wheel, so I never really persued getting a lisence. With a few lessons in parking lots, and a tiny bit of experience on the road, I called David. I called about a month in advance for lessons during the summer (the busier time of year), and I got an appointment for one weeks worth of lessons. Two days were rescheduled because of rain, which ended up being perfect because he made up the time on the weekend before my test. He was very relaxed, and easily redirects the wheel so the driver learns what the movements should feel like. He clearly enjoys his job and is very informative. I passed my test the first time, and moe importantly thanks to David's lessons I feel prepared to continue practicing on my own. His wife does the afternoon lessons, and I never had a lesson with her. Overall good experience, and I would recommend them to any new driver.

1EZ Driving School

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I love my job and your kind words just makes it so much more fulfilling! Good luck in all you do!
