Brentwood Driver Training | Nashville Classroom

Fantastic experience: I had Ms. Kristie and she was so kind and helpful. We were able to get so much done in two hours. Not only was she very patient and nice to me, but she also made me a much better driver. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: James was a great teacher - clear communication, instructions, advice. And the admin staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would book again!

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent driver's training program for teens. My two teenage girls took the weeklong class last summer, and recently took the driving lessons in the car with an instructor. They learned so much in the class, and road instructor was fantastic at getting them more comfortable and proficient behind the wheel. I was terrified to take them driving on the highway, but after two sessions of doing that with the instructor, they feel confident with highway driving. The ability to take the driving test with Brentwood Driver Training instead of at the often intimidating and slow-moving TN Driver's Services Center is a HUGE benefit. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for 3 sessions of 2-hour driving class, and I learned a ton. James, my teacher, was incredible, friendly, and will not make you uncomfortable driving. I took my road skills test June 6th and I passed! Thank you much Brentwood Driving School! :)

Fantastic experience: Best experience ever!! THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH!! you think you don’t retain a lot of information just sitting there for hours but you retained so much information and passing my permit test was so so so easy this was so helpful I recommend this to everyone in anyone!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for three 2 hour in-person driving classes, and it was one of best investments I've made by far for myself. Thanks to BDT, I was able to pass my driving test with 0 anxiety, and now I'm able to drive with confidence. Thank you James for being my instructor!

Negative experience: I might have had a better experience if the admin strive staff was more helpful. My child’s driving trainer was excellent at his job (if a little lacking in communication to parents), and their front desk support was very sweet in trying to help solve my issues. She passed me to the office manager who yelled at me and was all out rude. I called back and asked to speak with someone higher up, who was the owner. She talked over me, and did not wait for me to explain my issues. My daughter was scheduled for a driving test through them after/during a lesson. The trainer told my daughter she could maybe pass but might do better with more practice and just did not give the test. He did not communicate this to us (parents) when we came to pick her up from lesson, nor was any helpful information given to my daughter or us on what to practice on more. The test was simply not given. Every time I asked someone why, the story would go from “your child is a danger on the road” (the quote from the office manager) to “she’s probably ok, but could use more practice” ( from the trainer), to lastly the owner finally giving me a rundown of 4 things that needed to be worked on but that my child is a terrible driver. I asked if someone could still give the test as it was scheduled and the owner said I guess we can have someone there, but you have to go the Brentwood, when we usually do our training in hermitage. I agreed and let her know that I would be writing this review and it might not be good. She called back 20 minutes later and cancelled the test, telling me that she wasn’t required to give it and they wouldn’t because I was choosing to write a bad review about their services. She did offer to refund the portion I paid for the test. While the service could have been helpful, most of the staff is jaded and very hard to get helpful information from. It was lot of money for 32 hours of classroom classes that only covered the things my child already knew to get her permit to begin with. We only had 1 hour on the simulator. Extra driving lessons were suggested so we purchased these. Then, we kept getting “just not ready” when asking about the test. I felt it was an effort to keep us buying more and more lessons. That may not have been the case, but since we couldn’t get straight answers it was very disconcerting.

Negative experience: My son attended the spring break session and I completed waisted $425. He still hasn’t passed the drivers exam and wasn’t taught how to park nor turn the wheel when driving. I know have to teach him.

Fantastic experience: My instructor at Brentwood driver training was phenomenal. His savage beatings ensured that nobody who stepped foot in the west end building would never make any mistakes on the road. The crash preparation module was very eye opening as I watched my life flash right before my eyes. The experience and learning was worth all of the whiplash and following hospital procedures. Mr. Fischer Shaffer was a very kind, considerate, and relatable with all of his drug overdose stories. Whenever I would get bored in class, I would always examine the mass of tattoos on his ripped left bicep. One of my favorite parts was when they said I didn’t have to take my drivers test and then I had to take it anyways. I highly recommend this program (at the west end location) because it is a good, eye opening real life experience where you can be exposed to the wonders of the automobile and a first hand look at a man who did too many drugs as a child.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a great time at Driver's Ed with Brentwood Driver Training. She learned a lot and the teacher was also entertaining. She got her license there too. Great course. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: it's a scam you only get to do 3 hours of driving other than that don't waste your time
