Top Driver Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Loved this program. Was very informational and the teachers were amazing! I loved Ricky for my BTW lessons he was very talkative and understanding. He knew what he was doing and did it very well. Also shout out to Frank! He was awesome too.
We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Top Driver. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback. We wish you a lifetime of safe, intelligent driving!
Negative experience: Absolutely horrible. Quick to sign you up, no information after. Customer service isn't very helpful, and you'll NEVER find someone in a physical location outside of class time. It just smells like a scam. My daughter ran through the classes with no problem. When it came time to sign up for in-car driving, the issues started. The schedule for appointments is posted once per month and everyone scrambles to get slots. You are not allowed to sign up months in advance, even though all the slots are filled for the next several weeks. In 4 weeks, another schedule will be posted and parents and students scramble for the few slots left like raw meat thrown in a tiger cage. If you cannot sign up, they will allow you to extend your deadline...for more cash. As I said, it's either a scam or horrifyingly mismanaged. I would recommend ANYTHING other than this.
Hi Todd, we are very sorry to hear your experience at Top Driver did not align with your expectations. We are always striving to provide our customers with the best service possible, so your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. We were able to locate your account, and it appears there have been several open BTW training sessions available from the time the permit was issued. We are happy to provide more information and assist with your scheduling needs if you reach out to us as [email protected]. Thank you very much.
Fantastic experience: It was a very efficient course, I learned a lot from all the lessons and in-vehicle drives. I throughly believe I wouldn't be as good a driver if I had not had taken driving lessons with top driver. Mr. Schindler is an incredibly nice and enthusiastic teacher whom cares for what he does and who he teaches. 10/10 would reccomend to all who need to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: I have had 4 of my children attend Top Driver in between Bourbonnais and Manteno, Il since 2017. I cannot say enough about the excellent experience each of my children has had with the Top Driver. We especially love Stefanie French!! Stefanie has gone above and beyond for her driving students and we appreciate her so much!

Fantastic experience: After only 1 lesson with Adam I saw a huge difference in my son's driving abilities. Before the lesson I was afraid to get in the car with him. Afterwards, I had him drive us everywhere. I absolutely recommend top driver Manteno.

Negative experience: A complete scam! We signed up for class and had to cancel due to a move and they KEEP $200. Refuse to give it back on my refund. Absolutely ridiculous.
Ms. Smith, I checked with Customer Service and they stated that they refunded the full amount since the class you cancelled was not until October. They did not have any notes in the account re: your moving however those will be added. Thank you and best of luck.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful instructors and regional manager. Very compassionate and genuinely care about the students. Thank you!!
We so appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with our team. The Manteno instructor group is very strong and we will be sure to let them know they are valued! Thank you again and we wish you and your entire family a lifetime of safe, intelligent driving.
Negative experience: Horrible business. The office is not real there is never anyone there to answer questions. When u call the number you talk to people that are in Wisconsin that can't and won't help you. I tried asking a simple question what do I need to bring with to get the permit and couldn't get an answer. Called 12/27 to get an appointment for the behind the wheel part and was told they were booked till March and I couldn't make an appointment. So I had to pay a $150 fee to extend my contract. I'm sorry I would have made the appointments sooner but my children have all had covid I have 4 so that was quarantined for months then even had to quarantine for close contact at school. It's been a long crazy year here so I didn't schedule driving while the kids where sick guess I should have and save 150. Now a manager is supposed to be calling me and the lady I talked to in Wisconsin said that could take a week or two. Stay away there's gotta be better driving schools.
Mr. Earling, I understand that our Regional Manager reached out to you yesterday afternoon and you had a discussion about the timing of your teen's program completion, various deadlines, etc.. I am glad to hear you were able to schedule driving lessons and that your teen is back on track for completion. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Stewart was a wonderful instructor for my son. He is patience and builds a relationship with drivers and that allows the driver to be more relaxed when driving. When he gives feedback, he provides it in away that driver understands and how to improve. Top Driver in Manteno was a good fit for my son and a good experience.

Fantastic experience: Top Driver totally exceeded our expectations. From day one they laid out there class rules and told the parents and students what was expected. Very friendly instructors in both the classroom and driving. Very organized with there scheduling and very punctual all around. I would highly recommend Top Driver. I think my son learned more at top driver than he would have if he took drivers ed at his high school. My daughter will definitely be going there for her drivers ed classes.

Negative experience: Im really upset with them..i enrolled my name in august . They gave me 3 lessons in September and now i am waiting for my 4th lesson since September and they are not giving time . Its november..i mean i paid all money and they not taking care of clients. When i call them they just tell me to wait. I would not recommend them to any one.
Ms. Patel, I am sorry that you aren't receiving the experience that we expect from all of our families. According to our records you completed your training in 2017 so I am not sure what the issue could be. It does appear that a family member of yours is in our system as an Adult student, has completed all but one of her lessons and just contacted Customer Service two days ago to schedule her final lesson. As she discussed with Customer Service our Adult instructor is looking at his schedule and will get back to her in the next day or two to arrange a convenient time for the last lesson. If this is not the case then please let us know. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I only drove 6 hours with them but when I did they were very helpful and gave me tips for when I drive.
