1st Skills Driving & Riding School: Reviews
Negative experience: Beware!!! Just took my fiancé for a test here. I am consistently complaining that she drives too slow, but for some reason during the test of the only place you can get tested in this town, she is speeding 7 over in a school zone (which is untrue I have a dash cam to prove, will be contacting lawyers over this scam) and they fail her and tell her her 60$ test is void and that she will need to pay another 60$ tomorrow to retake. Considering this is the only option in town it’s crazy you have an old man purposefully wrongfully failing people. Get ready to have a serious law suit on your hands and a reform in business. *EDIT* I guess the owner can’t read I have video evidence that proves otherwise
It almost seems automatic these days. Don't pass a drive test and jump on social media to leave a terrible message. You know, we are actually very cooperative understanding people. Unlike your review, your fiancé seemed very polite and understanding. The standards for the test are set by the DOR of CO. Thank you for pointing out why she didi not pass. Seven mph over in a school zone is dangerous and an automatic no pass situation on the test. We would never not pass anyone intentionally. As far as "needing to spend another $60 tomorrow", this is not true. If I recall she was offered an opportunity to reschedule and chose not to. No one is ever forced to test with any one organization. Also, we are not the only tester in the area. In fact, we respectfully you request you utilize one of the others. We won't be rescheduling with you guys. Couple last comments. Having a third party that hasn't utilized our services also leave a one star review is not ethical. This review resulted three one star reviews. Pretty unsavory.
Fantastic experience: Garrett was the best instructor! He was very professional and easy to talk to.
Negative experience: The state of Colorado has these privately run schools administer driver's license road tests. This policy hurts anyone trying to get a license because there are no standards for how this business operates. They have minimal availability, with appointments months out, the instructions given about where to park aren't accurate, and the location is difficult to find. If the state requires drivers to be licensed, they need to provide road tests at government run facilities and not a private company with no standards.
Fantastic experience: Brett was my instructor and he did absolutely amazing! He was very helpful and i really enjoyed driving with him.
Negative experience: I was entirely unimpressed with this school. First the instructor treated me as if I was stupid when discussing registration. My son was nervous as he felt the instructor never liked him and he marked him down for speeding in zones that he was clearly not speeding. My son took his test after 4 p.m. and was going 25 in a school zone. School was clearly out. There was a posted sign that stated 15 when lights are flashing. The poster speed limit outside of lights flashing was 30 so if anything my son was doing 5 below the speed limit. He also marked him down for going 30 in a 25 I drive the road they took every day. The speed limit is clearly marked 30. I even drove the route they took after the test to be sure. I truly feel that this instructor was unfair and taking his bad mood out on my son.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and very helpful!
Fantastic experience: Brett was the instructor for all 3 of my kids and he does an excellent job! My kids loved him and felt very comfortable with him! He worked with us to make sure my kids all got their licenses on time! I highly recommend going through 1st skill driving school!!
Fantastic experience: 1st skills is great! Brett was great with my son and explained everything to us both!
Negative experience: Cut off in traffic by one of their cars with only a driver. If this is the quality of their instructors, I'm not impressed.
A phone call to our office would have been a good way to start this. "Cut off in traffic" is a pretty vague and controversial statement. We are always happy to discuss these issues and do take them to the driver. If this happened yesterday or today, we have had no cars on the road. Our cars no longer say In & Out on them. We would be happy to discuss this @ 970-424-7809. If we do not answer on your first call please leave a message with a way for us to return the call.
Fantastic experience: Very informative and an excellent instructor .....
Thank You for your kind review. We appreciate you.
Negative experience: You NEED to set up your phone as a dash-cam! Record facing forward so if something you did or did not do is brought up you have video proof. I'll add more details when I have some time. Take this as a serious suggestion.
