Total Control Driving Academy, llc

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!!! Both the classroom and behind the wheel instructors were fantastic! The behind the wheel was 1:1, just the instructor and my son. He enjoyed every lesson!

Fantastic experience: My son really enjoyed the instructor. He was patient and so helpful! He was happy he learned so much. He came home more confident in his driving after every lesson.

Negative experience: I'm a teacher at Elk River High who has access to students who have used this company. This company does not give students the required 6 hours of driving time. Instead, they split the time amongst two students. I talked to students in my math classes and had reports of students driving for less than 20 minutes in a lesson. I re-started teaching driver education with our district's community ed last spring. In that time, I have received two calls from parents who were desperate to get their child's behind-the-wheel hours done after starting them with Total Control. Those parents told me that their phone calls to Total Control were going unreturned. I don't have anything negative to say about A+ driving school. They would be my recommendation if you don't choose to go through ISD 728 Community Ed. Frankly, there are too many kids in the area for our CE to handle, so it would be awesome to have other reputable companies in the area who had the goal of properly educating our youth.

Negative experience: Biggest waste of money ever do not use total control driving academy. Did behind the wheel with Rob a couple years ago and not once did he ever give feedback to me as the student driver on what I needed to work on. The first time I did behind the wheel with him he spent the entire time on the phone trying to find a lost FedEx package and would only tell me things like turn left turn right stop here. Never in sessions did I drive for more than approximately 45 minutes and it was supposed to be two hours of uninterrupted driving per student. After failing my drivers test multiple times I was told that if I wanted to take my drivers test again I would need proof of behind the wheel certificate tried to get one from Rob and he told my parents that we never did business with him he refuses to give me my certificate of completion. If I could I’d rate 0 star. Don’t use total driving academy not even as a last resort the in person classes were great but please do your behind the wheel was some other company.

Negative experience: Has 2 kids in the car at once, technically each kid only gets 3 hours of behind the wheel, late to appointments, very hard to get in contact with anyone, didn't communicate on what they think the kids needs to work on.
