Bartley's Driving School

Negative experience: extremly rude on the phone.

Negative experience: I just followed a student driver merging onto the Maine Turnpike in South Portland doing 15mph. Student panicked at one point and swerved in front of me. A truck was behind me along with other late afternoon traffic and we were staggered trying to get on the highway without a collision.

Fantastic experience: Loved Danny!

Fantastic experience: Nelson and his team are all wonderful, friendly and professional. The driving was complete in a timely manner and I was impressed by where the driving took place; a great mix of rural, city and highway driving. My oldest son had a great experience and my middle son is already signed up for his turn.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding driving school--from in-class instruction to hands-on driving lessons, particularly mastery of turns, parking (especially parallel parking), highway driving, rules of the road, and safety! Highly recommend a road-test review with instructor from this school shortly before taking test. Their students who do the road-test review pass 90+ percent of the time.

Fantastic experience: Very good experience

Negative experience: They were mostly teaching lessons on back roads, not in the city. The skills that are necessary to learn and practice for driving were not reviewed nearly enough. They just want to get you in and out as quickly as possible. I'm really disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Bartley's Driving School made it super easy to get my permit and it feels like it went by so fast!! (even during these unprecedented times). Scott Dunham was the absolute best and Mr. Bartley made it super easy to schedule driving times that worked within my schedule. I'm sad to have it over because I looked forward to learning with Scott, driving with Steve or Jeff (wonderful instructors, super sweet, and taught me well). Taking my class through them made me feel prepared to hit the road once the classes were over.

Fantastic experience: Best drivers ed school ever! I took his class almost 2 years ago and I had so much fun there. He made driving easy, got to learn how to drive in busy Portland and find county routes there without using the highway, he made book work seem so easy and not boring. It was totally worth the ride and time. I miss Bartley's driving school.
