Joyce's Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I took the 1 hour and 30-minute in-car lesson since I already had my foreign license. Mark was very attentive and patient with all my questions, especially when it came to practicing parallel parking with cones. He guided me through everything with ease and taught me exactly what I needed to know to be fully prepared for my road skills test. I did my exam in Heber , and I passed! Got it at my first try ! All thanks to Mark, he gave me that confidence boost !!! I knew I made the right choice by choosing Joyce Driving School!
Negative experience: If you’re an adult driver do not come here. If you’re an adult you can’t book your classes online. This is only available for teenagers. I don’t know why, it feels very ageist and makes booking extremely difficult. I messaged about canceling my lesson to rearrange for another time. They said they would. They never did and are trying to charge me 100$. I understand that the policy is to cancel 48 hours before. I tried to cancel at least 5 days before and reached out to them twice to confirm that it was canceled, they said it was. The day before “my cancelled lesson”, I received an email saying I was still booked in. The day before the lesson (today) I contacted the driver directly making sure the company cancelled. This is when I finally received a cancellation email. This service has been extremely frustrating. I really loved my instructor, he was great but unfortunately the people in charge of booking are non responsive and not helpful. I paid for the adult 6 hour lesson (4 classes) and have used 2. Which i think cost around $700 total. I really regret taking the leap and I wish I went with a different company who were more helpful. I don’t know what to do, lessons are extremely expensive and I am at a loss.
Negative experience: DO NOT use Joyce’s driving school for your driving skills test!!! If I could give them 0 stars I would. What an awful and demoralizing experience for my stepson. He is an incredible driver, so much so that we trust him driving our new Porsche Macan GTS. He was given a 73 (points off) on his driving skills test, only to redo it at a different business 24 hours later to get a 2 (points off). The score in which he was given we were later told was inaccurate (given a 6 points off in an area where you can only get a 5) - he failed before he started by losing 21 points to a biker stopped (fully, waiting for his friends to catch up) in the sidewalk part of a roundabout, which he slowed but didn’t come to a complete stop for as he saw he was not moving or on his bike. Then, he lost 21 points because he used his backup camera too much. Isn’t that the point of a backup camera? You look back once and make sure you’re good to back up on the curb and then let the camera do the rest. I think it was a ploy to get us to pay this company twice to get the license. Absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your stepson’s driving skills test with us was not what you expected. At Joyce’s Driving School, we strive to maintain fairness and accuracy in all our assessments, and it’s upsetting to learn that you felt otherwise.
We understand how important this milestone is, especially for confident drivers like your stepson, and we regret if the scoring seemed harsh or inconsistent. Our instructors follow strict guidelines set by the licensing authorities, including points deductions for safety and protocol adherence. The backup camera, while helpful, is intended to complement safe driving habits rather than replace necessary visual checks.
We’re also sorry for any confusion regarding the scoring system and the experience overall. Your feedback is valuable, and we will review the concerns you’ve raised to ensure our process remains clear and fair. Please note that our instructor spent time reviewing the road test score and pointing out what needed to be improved on during the next road test. We are not allowed to coach the testees at all before the test, but these reviews after the fact often improve the scores for everyone.
We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail and review the situation directly. Please feel free to contact us at 435-215-1745, so we can address this personally and work towards a resolution.
Wishing your stepson all the best on the road.--
Negative experience: Do not suggest getting them to test. They designed their system to fail everyone the first time to ensure a second test to fill their wallets. Choose someone else.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about our testing process. At Joyce’s Driving School, our goal is to provide fair and thorough assessments based on the official guidelines set by the licensing authorities. We do not design our system to fail students intentionally; rather, we aim to ensure that all drivers meet the safety standards required to be on the road confidently.
We understand that testing can be stressful, and we encourage all our students to prepare thoroughly. If you have any specific concerns or would like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out to us directly at 435-215-1745. We value all feedback and are committed to improving wherever we can.

Fantastic experience: I recently took a driving road test with Joyce’s Driving School, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Booking a time for the test was incredibly easy and convenient. The staff was super friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process.

He took the time to explain any issues I encountered and provided helpful guidance that enabled me to eventually pass the test. His approach made me feel at ease and confident. Overall, I highly recommend Joyce’s Driving School to anyone looking for a supportive and professional driving test experience.

Fantastic experience: As a parent, Joyce's driving school did a spectacular job! My daughter came through well prepared not only for her test but for being a diligent behind the wheel driver. I was confident in her skills and knew she would be safe. The price paid for service was well worth the peace of mind. From my daughters point of view, they helped put the rules of the road in practical form while making driving lessons fun and simple.

Fantastic experience: Joyce's driving school stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to providing top-notch driving education in our locality. Initially, my child harbored an intense fear of driving and lacked the self-assurance to navigate the roads. However, after enrolling in Joyce's driving school and being taught by the exceptional instructor, Mark, my child's driving abilities and confidence have skyrocketed. Words cannot adequately convey the depth of my appreciation for the incredible work they have accomplished. The seamless communication and effortless scheduling further add to the overall excellence of Joyce's driving school. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Joyce's driving school to anyone residing in our area!
Thank you for your kind words. We work everyday to help our new drivers become confident in their skills and enjoy the driving process. We are very happy that you have accomplished all of this and more with our help. We look forward to seeing you both on the road. Keep you eyes on the road and keep checking out the big picture, especially in our area with all the bicyclists, animals and many more obstacles!
Positive experience: The driving lessons were very helpful for improving my technique and driving safety, the class was very expensive but convenient.
Hi Isabella, thanks for the review! If you could, please tell us how we could havemade your experience with us bettter. We are always looking to see how we can improve our program. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful experience with Joyce’s Driving School! She and Mark were so communicative, professional, and safe with their instruction for my daughter. Absolutely could not recommend them enough! Will be using them for my next driving coming of age
Fantastic experience: Joyce's Driving School has made it possible for me to get in the car with my son behind the wheel without feeling terrified! They've done an excellent job. My son's instructor, Mark, always is as cool as a cucumber. I honestly don't know how he does it. The lessons are always private, aside from the few minutes it takes driving the previous student home. This has helped a lot, as most driving schools have other kids in the car the entire time. I also have been able to schedule drives with no problem whatsoever. No long waiting lists, or scheduling out months in advance as is the case with other places. The staff is always friendly when I call in with a question. I couldn't recommend Joyce's Driving School enough. I just love them! My son has gone from zero confidence driving to gaining a ton of confidence. Soon he'll be ready for the big test, and I know he'll be fully prepared. Thanks Joyce and Co!!
Thanks Michelle! We are very appreciative of your review and we are so glad that you had such a great experience. Building confidence in our teen driving students is our number one goal - with the need for kids to get a license by the time they are 16 a close second! We hope to acheive both goals with all our students with the success we have had with your son. Keep your eye on the road and see you around town.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school, the instructors are thoughtful and patient. Taught both of my daughters to drive. Highly recommend.
Thanks Melissa. We love hearing from our clients and strive to put thoughtful, patient, and confident new drivers on the road. Keep your eyes on the road and we will see you around town!

Thanks Melissa! Mark and I love our jobs and it is wonderful watching the kids gain confidence in their driving skills as we see them each time. See you on the road!
