Fuhrmann Driving Academy: Reviews

3.7/5 (20 Reviews)
Mel Elkins 9 months ago

Negative experience: Wish this review was different than one almost a year back. I have emailed, my son has called and left messages...no response. However there is a method to pay them quickly online. Trying to get services set up or even additional information appears to go nowhere. Looking elsewhere as communication is not on the to do list here.

Fantastic experience: While my previous review was accurate, I wanted to reevaluate my review. I am an almost 40 year old first time driver. It took me some time to get someone to help me but I'll tell ya I'm glad I held out for Fuhrmann. I was nervous going into it but my instructor was very calm and helpful while driving. I feel super confident that upon finishing the behind the wheel sessions I will be a great driver. Ty so much for going out of your way to help me!

Negative experience: How did any of y'all even get set up with them?! I've called, I've texted, I've emailed. When you call, the VM says for a faster response send a text but that goes nowhere as well. I've been trying to reach them for over a month. What gives?

Negative experience: I’m walking across the parking lot with two heavy bags. I am VERY visible. Instructor had student stop directly in in front of me forcing me to stop. I’m waiting to see what’s happening. Is he going to pull up out of my path? The student looks at me nervously but the car stays in place. I wait, trying to figure out his next move. It’s passed at least 50 other spots that could’ve been used for practice parking. Finally, I walk around the car that just stopped in the driving lane—not a parking space—in front of me. The instructor’s window is 1/2 down but he doesn’t say a thing to me. No apology. Rude move, mister instructor. This is based on my experience as a pedestrian. I would give 0 stars if I could. This can not be blamed on the student!

Negative experience: Wouldn’t suggest if you are a new driver. I had an older man named Paul, he stressed me out and slammed on his break a lot, like when he was giving me directions and we were like half a second away from missing a turn. We were nowhere near causing a crash or accident, we were just simply missing a turn, I could have easily went up the road and turned around but He slammed on his breaks and told me “don’t stop now”. He made my heart drop because I thought I did something wrong but in reality it was not me. His vibes were everywhere. I wouldn’t suggest going with Paul for a first time driver.

Our goal at Fuhrmann Driving Academy is that all our students would come away with a positive vibe and a more confident attitude towards driving. We also plan for a safe experience, and if an instructor has to use their brake, it’s because the need is there to prevent an accident or an unsafe event. With 12 years of driving instruction experience, Paul is skilled in helping even the most nervous of drivers get over their fear and discomfort.

Fantastic experience: The best people to do behind the wheel with. Cool driving instructor, good vibes, and good memories came along with this experience. Doesn't get any better than that.

Kriston Vardiman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When my firstborn reached the age to begin thinking about learning to drive, we were deep into the pandemic. I'm also a mom that is probably the normal amount of nervous. So my teen did the online portion of driver's ed. Through the whole process the communication has been wonderful. Then we moved and could not complete the road portion with this company, and then we got covid and the whole process has been much slower than it probably would have been. It's much later and I just sent this company a question regarding my child's class and the response time was rapid and the communication was still very clear. Even though I'm hours away and they stand to gain nothing from giving me great customer service, this company is still wonderful to work with. Very impressive. If you are beginning this process with your teen driver, this is a great company to work with.

Fantastic experience: This was the best driving school I could’ve chosen. Worked with me well and my instructor Curtis was the coolest and best instructor I could’ve had. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Fuhrmann has been wonderful. Our 17 yo son took the behind-the-wheel course and really enjoyed it. He said the instructor was very nice and knowledgeable. They picked up from our house and dropped off and were punctual each time.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Fuhrmann. From my first contact to the last contact Mr Thomas very professional and he answered all our questions gave us much needed information. My 16 year old son said that he also explained things to him and gave him good info. Thank you guys for excellent service. See you guys in 3 years for my other son

Negative experience: My 19 year old son tried calling to purchase lessons based on both the website and other people's reviews. He was told, they do not take adult drivers at this location only students under the age of 18. They need to update their webpage.

Negative experience: I would give zero stars if I could. Absolutely DOES NOT answer the phone. I understand that things can get busy especially with driving schools but it’s poor customer service to not even give a call back. I shouldn’t have to keep calling 5+ times or play phone tag just to receive service and sign up for a lesson. I wanted to come here because it seemed more affordable but I would rather pay a higher full price else where with better customer service where they care about getting people signed up that want/need to drive then ignoring potential new comers. Better off going somewhere else, if you don’t good luck getting this man on the phone at all !

Fantastic experience: Our experience with Fuhrmann's Driving Academy was excellent. Mr. Fuhrmann went out our his way to accommodate my son's school and work schedule. He gave my son lots of useful information during the driving instruction and was very responsive to our questions. I would highly recommend this service to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I was 20 with no real driving experience and thought it was gonna be hard, fuhrmann driving school took their time with me. Mr. Fuhrmann is a great calm and patience instructor for anyone of any age. I definitely recommend him for adults and young students.

Negative experience: I'd love to give a review for this place but after 3 phone calls, 1 online submission and 2 voice mails, I have yet to hear back from them.

Brandise Little 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my behind the wheel training as an adult with Curtis. I haven't been on the road in very longtime so naturally I was nervous and tense. I highly recommend this driving school. Curtis did a exception job with helping brush up on my skills. He made me feel really comfortable and confident with getting out on the road.
