Always First Driving Academy

Negative experience: Worst driving school ever.The instructors Always cancel and have excuses.

Negative experience: Wish I could give less than 1 star review. Complete waste of money. My son got no class time with an instructor. He got 6 less than 1 hour sessions with a driving instructor. He didnt even drive the whole time he was out for these less than 1 hour sessions as they would drive to other students homes and pick them up and then they would drive. Do not use Always First.

Negative experience: If I could give "0" stars I would. It's gone way down hill since I had both of my daughters use them years ago. In the end I gave up, and should have written a review last year/beginning of this year to warn others. Read below to see what was going on......... The online classroom work was fine, and didn't need any interaction, so that was ok, but the problems began with the driving part. My son only got 1 1/2 hours of actual driving time but it was so sporadic and all over the place that it might as well not happened. For ex: - First day didn't happen. Instructor showed up at my house and said that she "waited" for my son to come out, didn't call, didn't honk horn, nothing. So my son sitting my the window didn't know she was there. So after 10 minutes she drove off, she says, because he wasn't ready. - On 8/17/22- Drove from 7:15-7:45. 30 Min drive - On 8/18/22 - Did not go on drive, said there wasn't a car available for the lesson - On 8/22/22 - 6:00-6:45 pm. Was supposed to be a long day to make up for not going, but this was it. - On 8/24/22 - Did not show up. Son set by window watching and no one came. I eventually called an hour after the appointment and found that there was a "scheduling error" and wasn't on the books for someone to come out. - On 8/30/22 - Notified my son that the Instructor had Covid and said that another instructor would fill in for that week. No one called and no one returned left messages either. Had to wait two weeks until call was returned. September - (Didn't write down the date) - Took son out for 45 minute drive, texted me and said that felt he wasn't ready for highway and suggested I drive more with him to get him comfortable with driving before they gave him his next lesson. And here I thought this was supposed to be a driving school where they gave 'DRIVING LESSONS". In all I gave up because they didn't really care about giving out lessons.

Fantastic experience: I have had 3 kids go through this program and not one issue. My daughter recently went through it and response was excellent, instructor was perfect, and she even tested with another instructor who also was wonderful. Not one complaint.

Negative experience: STAY AWAY!!!!! Driving instructor waited until the very end of the 15 month time period to do the 6hrs of driving instruction. Not going to get it done in time for my son to get his license on time. Blames students schedule for not getting it in. 15 months to do it and waited until last two weeks!!!! Idiots!!!!! Would give zero stars if allowed. Looking into lawsuit. Contact me if you want to get in on a class action suit!!!!
