Driving Schools Of Ohio

Negative experience: Our experience with Driving School of Ohio has been a total nightmare since the beginning. After completion of the online schooling which cost more money than normal, the completion was done in June. Could not schedule the behind the wheel appointments until September!!! Then the 1st session was cancelled less than 2 hours prior to the appointment time because the instructor was sick. I couldn't get it rescheduled until October 7th. We had to cancel that and reschedule it due to an injury and they charged me another $40 just to reschedule. And of course you have no choice. Notw Nov. 13th, I can't schedule the drivers test because this driving school has not submitted the completion certificate to BMV which was completed on Nov. 7th. I called them, they said it takes 10 days to do this. Really?? i could get it rushed in 24 hours for a charge of $25!!! Really?? For doing their job!!! Now my Grandson is in danger of his permit expiring on Nov. 24th and we will have to pay for another permit if we can't get him scheduled on time. I would never, ever, ever recommend this company for absolutely anything!!! This has been the worse experience ever. Save your time and your money and go somewhere else!!!!

Negative experience: If I could rate a zero I would for the Westerville location. The classroom stuff is good but the in-car portion is absolutely awful. What they DON'T tell you is that they don't have enough instructors to do the in-car lessons. The in-car lessons are scheduled on a first come first served basis AND they only release appointments once a month. They don't tell you that on the website either. You have to call to find out. You need 4 in-cars to be completed in 6 months, from the beginning of the class. You start in May, you need to be complete in October. That only really leaves you 4 months to get the in-car classes scheduled. In order to schedule them you have to first find out what date and time (the love to say mid morning) and go on the website and hit refresh over and over until you see a time and you MUST take it no matter when it is. During school hours - doesn't matter, take it. Over half the time I clicked on a date it would be already taken, because first come first served. You also have to call and specficially request your account to be open to other locations or you just get your home location. The other locations also drop appointments on different days. I spend over an hour two days in a row trying to get spots. I barely made it. If I didn't get the last in-car, 4 days before my time ran out, my kid would have to take the class over for an additional fee AND do the in-car process all over again. DO NOT GO HERE. It's not worth it. The people on the phone are not able to help you in any way. This is the system and that's it.

Fantastic experience: I took my driving test with David, and he was great! He was sociable, he was down-to-earth and I wasn’t nervous. I had a wonderful experience thanks to him!

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience with Driving Schools of Ohio in Tallmadge! The sign-up process was simple, and the staff was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient throughout. Both of my kids went through their program and had wonderful instructors who made them feel confident and prepared behind the wheel. A special thank-you to Paula, Greg, and Tom for going above and beyond — your patience and encouragement made a huge difference! We’ll continue to highly recommend Driving Schools of Ohio to anyone looking for a great driving school.

Negative experience: Half of their instructors quit. The customer service sucks! stay away!
