Smart Wheels Driving Academy: Reviews
Negative experience: I am beyond dissatisfied with this driving school. My daughter, Kimora, enrolled in the program and was told she could complete the course in July 2024. However, after we moved out of Dallas, I made multiple attempts to contact the school for guidance on how Kimora could finish her remaining driving hours, but I’ve received no responses whatsoever. I first reached out on August 9, 2024, asking for an update on completing the hours. After no reply, I followed up again on October 17, 2024, offering to bring Kimora back to Dallas to finish the course, yet still no response. It’s now January 5, 2025, and my daughter has still not completed her required driving hours. I have sent several text messages and emails, all of which have been ignored. This lack of communication and professionalism is completely unacceptable. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau (BBB) because I can’t help but wonder how many others have had their money taken without receiving the service they paid for. At this point, I am requesting a full refund for the incomplete portion of the course. I would strongly advise against enrolling here, as the lack of customer service and follow-through is deeply frustrating and unprofessional.
Thank you for contacting us regarding your daughter, Kimora's, driving course. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the delay in completing her driving hours. I have checked the text messages, emails and voicemail communication. The only message I have is dated August 9th, informing us of your out of county move.
We value your business and want to resolve this issue promptly. To that end, we propose the following options:
1. Complete the Course Locally: We can research driving instructors in your current area and provide you with a list of qualified professionals who can complete the remaining driving hours. We can also offer guidance on transferring from Kimora's current course.
2. Complete the Course in Dallas: If bringing Kimora back to Dallas is still an option, we can schedule the remaining driving hours.
We would appreciate the opportunity to rectify the situation and ensure that Kimora successfully completes her driving education.
Sincerely,
Tracy Williams
Negative experience: I want to express my experience at Smart Wheels Driving School Academy. Tracy was very nice at the beginning of my son's enrollment May 2024. Before signing my son up, I ask about the scheduling for the summer classes. Tracy stated she would have morning and evening classes which turned out not to be TRUE. After getting his permit, I reached out to Tracy inquiring about him starting his driving lessons. It was 30 days before he was scheduled to take driving lessons. I started asking questions and this is when she became VERY UNPROFESSIONAL & RUDE. When scheduled to drive she NEVER provided copies of my son's driving progress report. Everything was verbally nothing in writing. I asked my son how was the driving process going with Tracy. He stated Coach B was the one teaching him behind the wheel. I asked Tracy if Coach B could give me an progress report she being to get VERY UPSET. This when I started to do my own research on Smart Wheels Driving School. I found out through TDLR Coach B(Darian Brisco) license expired July 27, 2024. My concern was I wasn't provided any documentation stating my son completed the course. Due to documentation not being provided my communication with Tracy was text only. I text Tracey asking if my son was on the driving schedule for Monday 8/26 & Wednesday 8/28 she stated by text no he is not on the schedule. My response was "May I ask why not"? Tracy stated "Some one else is scheduled. He is ready to take his test. He completed his lessons. He completed parallel parking on yesterday". I still have nothing in writing just a text. This was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I would get everything in writing and fully verify instructors are licensed before signing my child up for this driving school.I SIGNED MINOR TEEN CONTRACT NOT ADULT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THIS & I HAVE PROOF.
I am sorry your experience was less than satisfactory, You paid for a service and services were rendered. Typically it takes 6 months to complete the driving school cycle. As it states in your signed contract. Your adult son completed the process in less than 3 months. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule drive times. We also do not provide written progress reports. Your son was provided an adult certificate of completion, which allowed him to receive a learners permit from the DPS. I advised him that he was responsible for watching the Adult Impact Texas Video upon completion of his adult behind the wheel lessons. He completed his behind the wheel lessons on 8/27/2024. He was also advised that it is his responsibility to print the certificate and provide DPS with the certificate before he could take his road test. Please keep in mind that the process for adult drivers is very different from the teen process. Your son completed the adult process as he is an adult and is now ready to take and pass the driving test. Our driver education classes focus on responsible driving, while managing risks and building confidence behind-the-wheel. We teach the mechanics of safe driving that allows our students to become safe, confident and defensive drivers.
Our commitment to the community is to help our students establish good, safe and responsible driving habits, in our friendly safe educational environment.
