Safeway Driving School: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Kelvin Haywood needs a raise he is the GOAT

Negative experience: Everything about our experience with Safeway has been negative. We did the online course. It was poorly designed from an instructional perspective, technologically glitchy which required constant content repetition to get through it, the narration was dull and not engaging. My son spent more than 10 extra hours just trying to get through the content without glitching. He suffered through but learned little. For behind the wheel lessons, they canceled on us twice on the day of the lesson, costing us weeks from his timeline. (You have to wait a certain period between lessons to progress.) We found no value in any of the lessons online, and only minimally from behind the wheel. It’s an expensive hoop to jump through and Safeway just made it all so much more difficult for us.

Negative experience: Very difficult to get behind the wheel appointment. Because of that, my child probably won’t get her license this year. Disappointed and frustrated. The call desk service is also poorly managed. Won’t recommend.

Negative experience: 1/2 way through their program. The account is frozen. Have called 3 times in a week still no help!

Fantastic experience: Sent two kids through this program. The company is excellent. They are organized, have a great website, and both kids really liked the classes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Two of our daughters attended classes at Safeway - Maple Grove. Our 2nd daughter said that her instructor, Mr. Young, was the best teacher she's ever had. Thanks, Mr. Young!

Negative experience: For our first son Safeway worked because he himself was in a rush and plowed through the training etc. With our 2nd son he has been more conservative and wanted more practice between lessons which extended his time. By being careful and cautious we now have to pay an additional $50 to extend the time he can take behind the wheel? Why would it cost $50 to let him proceed at his own pace instead of rushing him through it? I would recommend finding another driving school.

We agree with you but Safeway is following a state policy. We explain it in our parent communication but the state wants teens with Instruction Permits to get licensed instruction. Most driving schools in the state follow the state's guideline that driving lessons must be completed within a year of completing classroom instruction. Safeway has the same policy and the $50 fee to extend that date (the state allows two extensions) is meant to motivate parents to do as the state desires. Safeway is unfortunately obligated to notify the state of students who are not doing their driving lessons and student will risk the cancellation of their permit, so the state is serious about teen instruction. We think the state's public safety goals are valid but we think your complaint is valid, as well. Remember, just because a student has taken three 2-hour driving lessons does not mean they are ready to take the Road Test and drive on their own. Parents are free to practice drive with their teen for as long as they wish after taking three lessons and should never feel rushed to have the teen take the Road Test.
