Curbside Driving School-Owner Melanie Bond

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly, always on time! Passed my test first try no mistakes

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and kind. Great driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: The best instructor for my teenage kids. Thanks Melanie

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Melanie for the patience & kindness towards the passing of my drivers test. The qualities you exhibited, was instrumental in my success. You are always on schedule, and a delight to work with. 100% do I recommend your service to others…

Fantastic experience: I would highly highly recommend Melanie to the parents of all the first time drivers. My son gained so much confidence driving with her more than me. In Livingston we don’t have good drivers ed school. I am so thankful to Melanie for her encouraging and positive words and also that she picked my son from our house which made everything so easy.

Fantastic experience: Curbside is the best! My daughter has so much more confidence after 1 lesson. Very professional. Easy to schedule an appointment (that wasn't 2 months out). My only regret was not going with Curbside for all of my drivers.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for being patient with me! You are an amazing instructor:)

Fantastic experience: My family recommended this driving school because two of my family members took the course and loved it. This was my first time doing any sort of driving school and I was super nervous and didn't know what to expect. Melanie arrived on time and we immediately clicked. She was nice, easy to talk to, and encouraged me while I drove, making it a stress-free process. I've had two lessons with her so far and will be having my third one next week. To anyone who suffers from anxiety or is nervous to learn how to drive, I definitely recommend Melanie Bond's Curbside Driving School. I went from being an anxious driver to a confident one in under two lessons and will be taking my behind the wheel test sooner than I expected! She gave me the confidence I needed to drive.

Negative experience: Canceled 3times. Doesn’t seem to want to work. Always has excuses. Finally just went elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Curbside is hands down the best driving school around. I would highly recommend them and I especially love Melanie. She’s not only been my driving instructor but she’s been my brothers and my sisters as well and not once have any of us had a problem. The service is amazing and they’re always on time and on top of their priorities. They’re amazing people and super professional. They always make sure you are comfortable before you begin and are so much help when you forget about something or if you just have a question. In the future I will be sending my kids to them and so will my siblings.

Negative experience: Literally THE WORST driving instructor ever. The first time we had an appointment she only game me an hour because she said that she had a “family event” to go to and after that one time she has canceled on me 6 times. She’s schedule a day and put a time on it but then cancel the day before due to an “emergency” so now my permit expires next week and I’m out of luck so I now need to retake my permit test and make another appointment for my behind the wheel test, it’s sad because today was when it became the last straw she’d only contact me and never answer texts or calls from my mom so now I’m going to a different driving school but after this happened I decided to look at reviews and unfortunately everyone else has had the same experience that I’ve had, I don’t have a say so in where you spend your money but I wouldn’t do it here. It’s a waste of time.

Negative experience: Cancles last minute. When you call or text, it takes her days to get back to you, if at all. Melanie talks about your student behind their back with other school mates. But worst if all, she doesn't refund your money for the lesson she missed. She gave my child his gold certificate after only 4 hours because she had to cancel last minute on his last appointment because she had an emergency in her family. Luckily, thanks to me teaching my child right, he passed. My child said all she did when they drove was gossip with very little instruction from her. She offered to give me a refund, bit I told her to put it toward my second childs lessons, and when it came time to schedule him, she said that she couldn't take him on as a client. When I notified the BBB about her, she ignored them too...I should have read her Yelp reviews...do yourself a favor and go somewhere esle where they give better customer service, and they don't have issues with being immoral or unethical

Negative experience: DO NOT CONTACT THIS COMPANY!!! this is the worst company to do business with! the owner Melanie never keeps her appointments and never contacts you to cancel. They still owe me money for appointments not keep...

Fantastic experience: Melanie is the best driving tutor It's really help us and teach us with patience. She really teach me and my sister a lot She also provide us with a free lesson for me and also for my sister. I really recommend her to all my friend and family.

Fantastic experience: Melanie is a wonderful instructor . She made me feel super comfortable and i loved it . I was super nervous , but then she just explained to me what we're gonna do and i felt better . Definitely would recommend !

Fantastic experience: Really Great Experience! The driving instructor Melanie was super nice and tought me everything I needed to know and I recommend curbside driving school to anyone that needs to do their behind the wheel lessons, you won't regret it. I didn't!

Negative experience: very unprofessional cancels last minute lots of excuses. had an apt Saturday for my sons first 2 hours driving got an email asking to postpone as her battery was dead, told her we cleared the whole day to let us know when she was ready. said she was trying to find a ride so we offered to give her a ride to help her get her battery to give me a call when ready and it turned into a text saying aw thanks my sister is taking me which quickly turned into it wasn't the battery must be the altenator so I am going to have to reschedule she didn't have a back up car today but would tomorrow she said she could be there at 7:45 the next morning, things happen we said ok next morning 7am I get a text that says my mom has cancer and I have to go to the hospital with her I have to postpone I hope you understand(if her mom really has cancer I pray the doctors do all they can). well in between all of this I did a little internet research and found multiple complaints about this companies flakiness and constant failure to keep appointments, when I was talking to my friend about it she said let me guess your using curbside... which leads me to believe that their excuses might just be excuses cause they don't want to work on the weekend but don't want you going anyplace else either until they irritate you and then its I understand if you go someplace else. my son who should be driving now has to wait almost 2 weeks to get into a more reputable reliable driving school. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME AND DON'T MIND CONSTANT EXCUSES

Fantastic experience: As a mother of a first time driver i would highly recommend Melanie. My daughter said she likes driving with her more than me. In Livingston we only have 1 drivers ed school witch we got so many bad reviews from teens in the area there was no way i was going to let my daughter drive with them. Thank you curbside for picking her up and droping her off at our house for no extra fee for the distance. Great customer service.

Fantastic experience: Very professional actually. I did my first session with Melanie and she's absolutely wonderful! Driving with her was very relaxed and this being my first driving session it wasn't stressful at all. Giving me clear instructions and a later out plan of what would be going on I knew what to expect(:

Fantastic experience: I was sceptical of all of the 1-star ratings but I figured they were a while ago so I'd give them a shot. Best decision I made. Malanie was great with getting us appointments on the days we wanted(Given we did schedule ahead of time and not the day before). The instructor Tom is very thorough throughout all of his lessons and answered the many questions I had. I'd go as far as to say he's over-qualified for the work he's doing. On top of that, he's a really nice guy. I'd recommend Curbside to anyone who is nervous about driving or wants a great instructor.

Negative experience: Completely unprofessional. Fails to properly communicate with customers, if I could give 1/2 a star I would. Worst driving school to go through.

Negative experience: Poor communication, canceled 3 appointments at the last minute and did not show up for another 2 appointments= 5 total missed. Moving on to another driving school. Very unprofessional.
