EQUIP Driver Education, LLC

Fantastic experience: There was a very short wait and we got in two sessions in two weeks, super happy with their service.

Fantastic experience: My son has completed driving education. Teacher is very professional, she always reminds the appointment a head of time and tries best to schedule the leason for my son. Thank you equip education.

Fantastic experience: I had good experience with her behind the wheels,she is professional n encouraging n very patient.Am grateful

Negative experience: Lots of great reviews on this page, but don't overlook the bad ones. My daughter has been taking classes with this place since October. She's only had one behind the wheel so far because everything was "booked" through June. They have now cancelled her second behind the wheel for the second time and we're getting increasingly frustrated with this service. I will definitely not be referring our friends to this place. Edit: I didn't even know, but my daughter didn't even get a single lesson in. We ended up cancelling the behind the wheel and are getting a refund, which is what I would recommend for everyone who's already signed up for behind the wheel with this place.

Fantastic experience: She is kind and knowledgeable. Her instruction was thorough and developed confident and safe drivers.

Fantastic experience: Was a great instructor was able to pass on my first try

Fantastic experience: EQUIP Driver Education has been great to my family

Fantastic experience: I have a grandchild Ann taught she was beyond our expectations compassionate caring and very helpful in the process of getting my granddaughter her license. I would refer Equip Driver Education to everybody. Thank you Ann!

Fantastic experience: Very invested in educating in a safe and effective manor. Invested in the kids well being and education.

Negative experience: If you're going to use Equip, I would highly recommend against using her for behind-the-wheel. She frequently cancels lessons, and demands that you teach your kid how to drive before she will do any behind-the-wheel lessons. She's quite gruff about scheduling, and when she receives any push-back, she quickly plays the victim. She says that she has gotten behind because she had COVID in May of 2021, and a couple times since, and that it has made it more difficult to catch up on her workload; yet she's still signing up new students and taking their money. We signed up with her around 9 months AFTER her illness, yet she merrily took our money and led us to believe she would have our son finished with behind-the-wheel over the summer. We had to fight tooth-and-nail to get a single hour with her over the summer, and then she kept pushing back the timeline further and further. Instead of being done in August, by the time we fired her she was telling us to book lessons spread out between September and March. If you can get a lesson, she adds on a "fuel surcharge" that she doesn't disclose at registration. If gas prices go above $4/gallon, she wants an extra $5/lesson, paid in cash before the lesson begins. She won't do any more with your child than you have done in pre-lesson practice. If your child is like my son, and is very nervous about driving, she expects you to get him/her through it. In my case, my son wouldn't go onto major roads with me, so she didn't either. After firing her and getting a pro-rated refund for the behind-the-wheel lessons we were yet to receive, we enrolled our son at "Safety and Respect" in Andover. After only one lesson with Curtis, my son overcame his fears and trepidation, and has been doing a fantastic job practicing with us ever since. The difference between Ann & Curtis was stark. If you dismiss this review and hire her anyway, be sure to keep a copy of your contract and all communications with her. You're going to need it. Make sure the fuel surcharge is in the contract before you give her any more money. Get a solid timeline in writing, including the date when lessons will be complete, and don't let her tell you she's good until your son or daughter turns 18. She'll invoke the contract the minute there's a dispute, so don't be afraid to go to the contract when she fails to meet your expectations.

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed learning with Ms. Ann very much. She was clear and direct with him, helping him to know what to expect.

Fantastic experience: Was very good learning experience and mrs sirpless gave great examples during class along with behind the wheel. I refer all my friends to her! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Over the last 6 years my family have gone through you and the next one is already signed up ! They love the class room and behind wheel with you and said you made learning fun! Thank you for all you do and look forward to another great driver experience!

Negative experience: I am super disturbed with the services of this company we payed the extra $120 for 3 drivers class that haven’t even take place after a year of paying. They have canceled about 4 appointments. Their schedules are extremely full and have bad timing Available always during school hours then on November she add a $5 fuel cost that was not in the agreement when we payed for the class.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful instruction and teaching skills. My child enjoyed the entire experience and we will be back with the next one!

Fantastic experience: Ann has completed driver education with two of my kids and has done an amazing job. She is patient and explains things in great detail. Having the online option for my youngest for the classroom part was a huge bonus. If you are looking for a great company to complete your child’s behind the wheel, choose EQUIP Driver Education!

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed the online portion of driver’s Ed and the behind the wheel portion gave him the confidence to drive everywhere. He enjoyed his time with Ann and their conversations.

Negative experience: We chose this driving school from the internet based on it’s rating of course which are very misleading. My son did not have a very pleasant experience with Ann. Being a teenager he was very eager to complete this course & get his drivers license. The in-class instruction was OK but once he’d spend one-on-one behind the wheel instruction with Ann the situation became uncomfortable & the comments made by Ann we’re not only offensive but very inappropriate. Particularly on my sons final behind the wheel where he would receive his card so he could go take his drivers test. Ann thought that it was a good idea to tell my African-American son that ”Her ancestors were not only slave owners but she thought the colonization of America is justified ”. I registered for a drivers Ed course. Not history or ancestry. Even if it were those classes her comments & delivery were distasteful to say the least. I will not utilize her services again and I will be sure to tell anyone I know to do the same. If I could the rating would be zero stars.

Fantastic experience: She made sure I passed my test. Which I did in one go

Fantastic experience: We are very happy My wife had a great experience after 6hrs behind the wheel with instructor She gained the confidence that she needed She passed after that Best place to do behind the wheel We are very pleased We highly recommend this driving school

Fantastic experience: The instructor relates well to teens. She does a thorough job! My son and daughter both took the classroom and behind the wheel from Equip.

Fantastic experience: I know the instructer and she is very nice, knowledgeable and genuinely loves working with teens.

Fantastic experience: Great training for young person! excellent in class real life examples and exceptional behind the wheel training!
