Lingle Driving Academy

Fantastic experience: Very easy to follow and very accommodating

Fantastic experience: Awesome program! The instructors are fantastic. They truly engage a young driver and make the course relatable! Easy to schedule driving and willing to work with your schedule. I have already recommend them to several friends with teens!

Negative experience: Stay away from this place! My son took driver’s ed back in July 2024 and still hasn’t been scheduled for the driving part. Talked to the owner several times and I am now being told they are catching up with drivers from 2023!!!!! And no date in sight for my son to complete the course!!! Ridiculous!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about our incredible experience with Lingle Driving Academy! A huge shoutout to Eric Roberts, my son's driving instructor—he was nothing short of amazing! It truly takes a special, very patient person to hit the road with a first-time driver, and Eric was extraordinary! He took my son on adventures through various areas of town—something I honestly wouldn't have dared to do myself. After each lesson, my son would tell me he had the best experience ever! Eric provided invaluable, honest feedback that really boosted my son’s confidence. I genuinely believe he wouldn’t be doing as well as he is now without the fantastic guidance he received from Eric. So grateful for him!

Fantastic experience: Craig is an amazing teacher. He is very patient. He taught my son the rules of the road. He really relates well to his students. Thank you for a wonderful and seamless experience. Betsy Becker Laborde

Fantastic experience: Paul was our instructor and according to my daughter, he was great! He showed patience with her while she was learning to drive! We would recommend Paul and Lingle to anyone. We will be using them again in the future for our 2 other children.

Negative experience: Went to get my license after taking my test and the paper that said i passed the test was not in the sealed envelope.

Negative experience: A blond headed in 40’s or 50’s who must be a teacher was driving a red car. She tried to wheedle into my lane. She yelled at me and was rude. Her lane was going a bit slower than mine. She was so rude. I would not want her as a teacher. May 16, 2024

Fantastic experience: the teacher was incredible and we learned the material efficiently and were able to understand it. the stories were well told and the rules and mechanics of driving were explained well. I feel prepared to take the driving portion in november

Negative experience: Lingle tried to charge me $60 for the driving test. By law the maximum charge is $40. Has this happened to anyone else? I told him the form I signed said that "the charge for the field test would be no more than $40" so he then backed off. He said the extra $20 was for car rental. Hmmmm...so I am renting your car for the field test. Well, he did not mention this before hand or give me the option to use my car for the field test. Run a better scam, Lingle. This ain't cuttin' it. And he did not show for the appointment for the field test. We had to reschedule later in the day. Giving former physical education teachers and football coaches a bad name.

Negative experience: Been waiting since July to have the 8 hours of in-car training scheduled and it’s almost Xmas now. Can’t get the learners permit for my kid without it. I would not recommend this company as they do not deliver the service you pay for.

Negative experience: Drivers Ed class was great for my son. Tried scheduling the drivers test to get license and it took multiple calls and texts to get the appt. Scheduled. Once the appt was scheduled we waited 1 1/2 hours for him to show up. Not a good way to run a business. Hopefully we are more successful with Drivers Test at Victor Manning.

Negative experience: Terrible service. Never answers phone or follows through. Still waiting on driving certificate after a month

Fantastic experience: I finished the adult class at this school and I absolutely loved it. My instructor David was the best, in 3 lessons I went all the way from "omg, I'm in a space ship" to a solid "I know how to drive". Thank you for your help with getting my license and making me like driving.

Fantastic experience: I took the week course($450) I learned all I need to get behind the wheel and got over 95% on my driving test.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, they're very friendly and professional... I totally recommend this academy they are the best!!!

Negative experience: Horrible. Drivers Ed portion was ok but when we tried to call to schedule the driving part to get the actual license months later the instructor never returned one phone call after 4 calls and voicemails over a week period. Also sent two text which were read but never responded. Ended up having to go to Victor Manning to do the driving part which made our frustration even worse

Negative experience: Class was good, but the wait to take the driving lessons is ridiculous, it's over a three to four week wait
