Westside Driving Academy

Negative experience: Charging the full price even if you only need part of their services. To me that’s just taking advantage of people who already have it hard enough with the Economy and life. Just doesn’t make sense. Half the work but charge the full price. To me it’s just wrong and shameful.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Westside Driving Academy was amazing! I would definitely recommend them to all my friends. Richard was very kind and patient since the day I called to schedule my classes. He thought me everything I needed to know to my driving exam and I was approved in my first attempt. I wish them all the best!

Fantastic experience: Westside is one of the best driving schools I got my licence on my first attempt ,Mr Rich was super helpful and provided me a convenient learning schedule he made every effort to give me a timely slot , a big big thanks and Mr Richard guided me well during my training .

Fantastic experience: I want to thank this amazing academy for helping both me and my husband to get our driving license with the first try,but in special I want to thank Dave, our instructor for his experience , his patience , his commitment, treating us as his own children.Thank you Dave,God bless you!

Fantastic experience: Rich, I am so grateful for you! I called in a frenzy a few weeks ago because I was trying to teach my cousin, Tyler, how to drive before his driving test on 8/16 and was desperate to get him in with a driving school for at least one professional lesson. Rich was able to squeeze us in the week before the test. The extra help, feedback, and pointers paid off - Tyler passed! Thank you SO much for going above and beyond to make this work for our schedule. You are a lifesaver. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Best price, best service. I was able to easily get information and schedule for in car. Communication was great with follow up emails. The driving instructors were personable and made my daughter feel safe and comfortable. They even picked up at our home which made it very convenient.

Fantastic experience: My Daughter absolutely loved her experience at Westside driving Academy. I was so happy with them, and their availability to get her in so quickly for her road classes . She loved her instructors Ben and Ryan. And she passed her first time.. I would give 50 stars if I could. Would recommend Westside Driving Academy to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Everyone I met at Westside Driving Academy was incredible. I took eight hours with them behind the wheel and I had a great experience each day I drove with them. I received constructive criticism and helpful tips that helped me pass the course and ace my driving test first try. Ben, Rich, Ron, and Ryan were all wonderful people with positive attitudes. I have recommended this school to my friends as well. Excellent experience.

Fantastic experience: I took about 6 hours lesson from Westside driving as an international student. Dave who is one of the most experienced teachers taught me to be familiar with the road and maneuverability. He has a wonderful trick of "grandma's". Ben was also sweet and helpful and gave me confidence to take the test. At test day, Rich helped me get upto the mark, made sure I was confident and ready for the test and also gave me a few last minute tips which helped me ace the test. I give them full credit of me getting my US driver's license. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: These ppl are awesome and very accommodating to work with my schedule. They were able to beat the competition in-person driving schedule by a month.

Fantastic experience: Rich and everyone at Westside have changed my life! As an adult driver it was intimidating looking for a driving school, but they never made me feel self conscious and always believed in me. After 10 years of battling fear, anxiety and disability I finally became a licensed driver on my fist try thanks to them! I went from anxious and scared to confident, by the end it was so fun to drive and I really looked forward to it! If you have anxiety or are an adult driver I cannot recommend them enough! Truly life changing!

Fantastic experience: Rich and everyone at Westside Driving are the best!! I drive 45 minutes out of my way just for my kids to learn from them. Professional, accommodating, and great with teens. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: They were fantastic, I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough about the experience my daughter had. Would recommend to anyone needing a driving school for their child. She passed with a perfect score on the first try and is an excellent driver. All credit goes to Westside Driving Academy!

Fantastic experience: Got to know about Westside Driving Academy through the University of Cincinnati. I had no previous driving experience, but I was able to learn from Mr. Richard and Mr. Dave who are excellent teachers, and after a few classes I've obtained my license. Really friendly and nice people, highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: My youngest son is taking the class and their is so much more that they have to do that i didnt do. But he needs to get on the road

Fantastic experience: These folks are excellent with teenagers and scheduling in car driving was super easy. My daughter said the owner, Erica, and Mr. Hartmann were wonderful. I highly recommended sending your kids to Westside!

Fantastic experience: My son attended the Academy for his Driver Education. He enjoyed the education and learned so much valuable information. I would recommend the Academy for parents who are not sure where to send their child.

Fantastic experience: I recently had my 16 yr old daughter go thought you all. She was super excited and learned alot more than I could teach her. They even worked around our crazy work schedules to accommodate her to be able to drive on the road. Thank you all so much. I will HIGHLY recommend you all to everyone I know.

Fantastic experience: Got referred to this driving school through UC International. The owner and instructor, Richard, gives me all the skills and knowledge to pass the driving test the first time in one month. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: I generally don't leave reviews like this, but I feel this should be done. In driving in wet conditions on 74 last night, I encountered a traffic jam and people driving below the speed limit. As people were able to merge from the left lane (passing lane) back into the right lane and we started to clear out, I stumbled on one of your cars with a student and teacher in the vehicle. Why this student was in the passing lane blocking traffic is beyond me. I hope this is not what you are teaching at your school. The student continued to drive UNDER the speed limit in the passing lane for at least over a mile that I witnessed while blocking traffic. A driving school of all places should understand what a passing lane is and keep their students out of the passing lane. I get that new drivers can be nervous, so it's even more of a danger to put them in this situation. Based on this poorly handled event, there is no way I'd recommend anyone set foot near this place for driving school needs.

Fantastic experience: Very good driving school, teaches you everything you should know would recommend

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Mr. Hartman did an awesome job with my son!
