Championship Driving School, LLC

Fantastic experience: They are very professional will definitely help you understand things you are having trouble with while driving very patient and understanding loved it !!!

Negative experience: Never in almost 40 years have I been spoken to by another person who I'm trying to bring business to. This company was highly recommended by someone I see about once a month doing business with in my every day life. I was beyond excited to find a potential solution to an on going problem we are having with our special needs teenager. Let me say, trying to solve our problem by being proactive parents, we choose the wrong company to try and bring our business too. I had ONE weekday day off last week. As a adult you try and squeeze as much possible in those days off as humanly possible. The day before I called Champion and left a voicemail with the woman that does private permit testing. No response, no call back. As I was leaving the voicemail I was also typing in our information on their website contact us page. Now as someone who works in retail/corporate I know those don't always work, they get lost, etc. The following day (the day off day) I looked at the website once more and found Mr. Roberts email, so I copied the copy of the message I initially sent him (that I received via the initial contact us page) and wrote my first email to him. And the response I received was off putting, rude, and unkind. If I was sent an email response I never received it. And I'm someone who religiously checks their email. Junk mail gets checked multiple times as well as we all know important stuff undoubtedly ends up there sometimes. There was nothing from Mr. Robert. If and only IF he sent me a response to begin with all he had to do was reply with was Ms. Price we did respond to you yesterday I'm going to forward you what we sent, you can review it and we can go from there. Or basically anything other than the crappy response I received. I would never let my 18 year old daughter or her 3 siblings ever be coached or trained by people that can't be bothered to be polite or respect your time. I'm am adult and this is how he spoke to me. What is really sad is my team at work rallied behind me to raise the funds to even afford their program because we are all going through tough times financially. Find somewhere else. Someone that still cares about their job and the services they provide for the public. I never did get a call back or anything other than that nasty response. Such a bummer especially trying to support local.

Fantastic experience: Great school. They come and pick your child up from school/home which is super convenient.

Fantastic experience: My wife Raleesha just finished the course and Paul was great. Do not believe the reviews. He was patient and very understanding. Thank you Paul. 5 stars from us and we will refer this company and you as an instructor!!!!

Fantastic experience: I am here to give a shout to Monica. She was so patient with my daughter. She helped improve her driving skills a great deal. I’m not afraid when I ride in the car with her now. Champion Driving school meet all of my needs and expectations.

Negative experience: If I could rate 0, I would. Very unprofessional, don't call you back, nvr answer the phone and nvr available.

Negative experience: Do not recommend. Very slow response time from the instructors. I have paid in full and my daughter has been waiting since January to get behind the wheel. We've been waiting to hear from the instructor just to schedule a time and I'm having a difficult time requesting my money back. The lack of concern is disappointing. Save your time and money. If you're looking for professionals Championship is not it!!

Negative experience: Do not use this company!! They never mentioned you have to drive 40 hrs with your child beforehand!! They took my money and wont actually be teaching your child how to drive.

Fantastic experience: We're willing to work with my son when his computer was going in and out and freezing up during zoom classes. Very patient while allowing him to fix the issues and still complet the courses.

Negative experience: This school has the worst customer service. Firstly their instructors don't have availability and they took forever to schedule lessons. I paid for numerous hours and yet my daughter was not even taught all the skills on the list and they were putting the blame on my daughter and me. Save your money and go to anybody else .

Negative experience: Horrible!! go somewhere else. They just take your money and drag you for months.I have had to chase them down. My son took a test on the computer last October and has had 1 driving session. We paid them $500 for extra time and we have to schedule appointments. Then they complained that I live in Blythewood and that was a little further than expected. Really!

Fantastic experience: i went to get my permit in Lugoff and i tested with Mrs.Julie Marlow and she was a great teacher the best experience i ever had .

Fantastic experience: Went here 3 years ago and had a great experience with John Corder!

Negative experience: They take nearly 2 months or more to schedule driving hours. The false advertising of saying how many instructors they have would definitely make one think that it would not take so ling. Their instructors are weekend only so there is that. I should have went back to DriveSafe at least they didn't take 2 months. Definitely will not return with my other children.

Negative experience: I started behind-the-wheel driving lessons here under the understanding it would be 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving lessons and a test right after. I paid $362.25 for this service so what took place during the 6 hours of lessons that were never finished is very disheartening. There was a delay in the first lesson, it was the first of many. Everything was okay during the first lesson other than that the instructor Paul had a spit cup for chewing tobacco and I was only really able to drive for an hour and a half. The second lesson comes around and I'm still okay with the service but by this point, it had been two weeks since my last lesson due to an unannounced weekend off, however, he did arrive and it was the same situation as last time except for him answering a phone call while I was in the driver's seat and did not tell me to pull over. After that, we did not drive again for multiple weeks then when the day we planned came he had to deal with a babysitter leaving which is understandable but by this point, you'd think I'd get some kind of compensation after being missed for weeks this is also when his just not communicating at all began. Then when the last and final lesson which was supposed to be 2 hours was cut down to one hour and then he went silent I figured he was a busy man but after 2 weeks I contacted the company I was done at this point and just wanted a refund. So I emailed for the refund policy instead I got fake nice emails and one that was completely rude to the point where I just gave up. They claimed they didn't think I was ready for the test and they were saving it for when they think I'll be ready and that Paul had told me this(he didn't) in fact during the practice it was either silence, talking about his family, or positive feedback and if he did tell me this why not respond to my multiple text messages to remind me? Not to mention what does being ready for the test have to do with withholding the last hour of training I paid for from me? I wanted my money back for both things they were keeping from me and they refused. Don't go to championship driving they do not guarantee 100% satisfaction as claimed.

Fantastic experience: I came to Championship Driving School after my license got suspended. Championship was a great choice to refresh my driving skills. Mrs. Kim was an amazing instructor and made me feel very comfortable with getting back on the road. She also did great at teaching me how to parallel park. I am so much more confident in my driving. Highly recommend Championship Driving School!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place! I drove with Ms. Monica and she was very patient and made sure I knew what I was doing.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Kim my driving instructor. She was very easy to talk to and I wasn’t as nervous behind the wheel. I just moved to South Carolina from New York City with my learners permit. So I knew there would be some things I’d need to touch up on in order to get my license. The school made it so that, it was an easy process from lesson to road test. If you are an adult and you are looking for a driving school, definitely check them out. Kim was great! If I knew more people needed to get their license I’d recommend this place for sure.

Fantastic experience: I was able to drive with Ms. Kim and she was absolutely amazing! She had very good communication, she was extremely nice and understanding, and the overall experience was incredible. I definitely recommend this driving school and especially Ms. Kim to ANYONE!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure to have Ms. Kimberly as my driving instructor. She is amazing and so professional. She made me feel comfort since she is friendly and kind. I took a high driving test score after she was quite sure I had done everything good to drive safe. I made the test the same day and did great!

Fantastic experience: They were great, the instructor I had was amazing and very patient, he made sure I had everything correct before taking the test with the nicest lady you could ever test with, I also made a perfect score I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Kim is fantastic. Went above and beyond for my daughter who is about to ship to Navy Boot Camp!! Thank you

Fantastic experience: I did six hours of driving training and did my test in the same day and I pass I still learned a lot tips that.will help me drive safe.

Fantastic experience: They were amazing helped my son to learn to drive and he is now an excellent driver

Fantastic experience: I used Champion for my youngest driver they were very trustworthy, upfront and professional. I would definitely refer them and use them again.

Positive experience: They do a lot of courses never been there myself

Negative experience: Unprofessional staff.

Fantastic experience: My family and I are new to SC and we were a little intimidated with the requirements to get my daughters license. We contacted Championship Driving and they walked us through the requirements, set up for my daughter to attend the classroom instruction, and then worked around my daughters school and work schedule to get her driving training completed. John was my daughters driving instructor and he really made us all feel very comfortable. He was excellent at communicating with us and helped my daughters self confidence, especially with parallel parking. I highly recommend this driving school and would use them again.
