Negative experience: today my sister was about to do her parent teacher drive and she was only a few minutes late, the instructor ( Patrick S) told her she can’t drive in a rude way. Later all he did was sit in car. Plus we put in a review earlier today but they took it down.

Hello, yes she was late as you mentioned. The reason for rescheduling is he can’t get through the entire route if you are late. Then he wouldn’t be able to achieve all the required objectives. For the safety of her, I’m glad he rescheduled so then on the next drive she is able to achieve all the required objectives.

Fantastic experience: My daughter recently completed segment 1, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From the scheduling, to the classroom instruction and the actual drives everything was well executed, professional and safe! As far as instructors go, Mr. Skinner is the best of the best. He goes above + beyond and makes new drivers feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. We highly recommend Buckle In-the best!

Fantastic experience: Our family has used two different driving companies within the Portage area. This company is way above the standard when it comes to parent awareness and information.

Negative experience: October 17th 5:40pm I was driving up Westnedge passing the traffic light while green, someone in the green company car cut us off and almost made us crash into them as they were turning left into the lot where chuck E cheese is. They deliberately slowed down as I'm trying to stop abruptly mind you the roads are slick as it's been raining most of the day. I had the right of way I was in the furthest right lane and the lane left of me was stopped due to traffic up ahead. Whoever that person was driving the company vehicle after hours today needs to take more driving lessons themselves they are lucky I didn't drag them out of their vehicle. I called the company they are closed after 5. I'm guessing it was an employee. I would like to speak to someone and have them fired, how can you teach when you don't know how to safely drive yourself?

Marissa, I understand your concern and thank you for reaching out to us. The owner called and left you a message this morning to discuss this. We reviewed the in-car video and it was a student driver driving at that time. When they made the left turn the kid pushed the brake instead of the gas causing the car to almost stop in front of your truck.

Fantastic experience: My son took segment one in Portage. His instructor stated he hasn’t been training for too long, but you never would have guessed it. He was amazing with my son and created a really comfortable driving atmosphere. Thanks, Patrick, for all being an excellent teacher!

Fantastic experience: Last year our oldest child took drivers ed with Official Driving School. We had one issue after another between scheduling, instructor issues, not getting information and her certificate in timely manner. With our other child now learning to drive, I was happy to find a different driving school. Buckle In Driving Academy is great at communicating. The instructor is able to keep the kids attention and apply real life situation that is needed once they are driving on their own. Having experienced both schools, hands down I would recommend Buckle in Driving Academy to anyone who has a child taking Drivers Ed.
