Reeder Transportation Training

Negative experience: I went to this school for my license and it was a pain. First off, I had the same driving instructor 3 out of the 4 sessions I had, which doesn't sound bad until you know why it was a pain. He would CONSTANTLY make jokes about how women can't drive and he noticeably acted differently towards the boys i would drive with vs. me. He would yell at the boys if they made mistakes, often raising his voice, one time even reaching across a boy to smack the window while telling him to check his blind spot. But if I made a mistake he would say something like "I bet you drive with your mom a lot", implying that women are bad drivers and I learned from one. He was very short tempered and was constantly upset about something. He even went off route and made me drive to his house so he could pick up his pool cues, which has to be against some rule. My mom and I personally complained to the driving school about him and they still assigned me to drive with him. On top of that, the owners were very impatient and frankly kind of rude to me. The only reason why I have any stars at all is because it was fast, and affordable. Otherwise, I would look into a different school if I were you.

Fantastic experience: We had such a fantastic experience with Michael as my homeschooled son’s driver’s ed teacher at the Marion, IL location! From day one, Michael was incredibly patient, encouraging, and easy to work with. He has a great sense of humor, which helped ease any nervousness, and made each lesson enjoyable and engaging. My son consistently commented on how clearly Michael explained things and how much he learned from him. His calm, friendly teaching style really made a difference—Michael turned what could have been a stressful process into something my son looked forward to. I truly can’t recommend Michael enough to anyone looking for a skilled, personable, and effective driving instructor. We’re so grateful for the confidence and knowledge he gave our son behind the wheel!

Fantastic experience: My grandson had a great experience learning to drive, and no problem passing the road test for his license because of the fine training with Reeder. We found them to be professional and caring.

Fantastic experience: Started driving here with practically 0 experience and was able to come out of it a good driver and ready for my license in only 4 lessons! Very nice and patient instructors who are eager to get more people ready for the road.

Fantastic experience: My son attended this driving school and it was fantastic! The driving instructor, Dr. Michael Grey, ranks above his peers on every relevant indicator. We could not have asked for a better driver's ed. course or driving instructor. He even helped the parents through this process. We are incredibly thankful.
