Colwell's Driving School

Experiencia fantástica: HORRIBLE.. This place needs to vet their instructors before hiring. The instructor I have is Julio he is by far the absolute worst he bad mouth the receptionist in Colwells. He’s overall nasty when it comes to instructing, he yells at you for every little thing (I’ve had to yell back and tell him to relax). I explained to this man I have anxiety and I’m trying my best as this is my first time behind the wheel.. He’s very disgusting I’ve had by far the worst 4 driving lessons with him. It’s a shame on the days I’ve had my lessons I’ve prayed for cancellations due to his abruptness and the way he behaves. The nerve of this man to be this way and have bad breath. I wish I never would’ve wasted my money here.. If you get Julio ask for someone else you won’t regret it..Hire new instructors maybe that’ll work because the school overall is a great driving school.

Experiencia fantástica: I passed my road test with this driving school Pete is a very good instructor he seen that I had potential in my ability to drive and supported me every step of the way he was very patient with me in my lessons he gave me all the advice needed to pass my test and overall this is school is a 10 out 10 would recommend thank you Pete

Experiencia fantástica: The best Mr.Pete. I pass my test on the first try.

Experiencia negativa: My mother signed me up for Colwell’s driving school the receptionist seemed pretty nice Customer service was good on their part But on to the driving part My instructor’s name is Carmen when I first entered the vehicle she was showing me the method of steering hand over hand as she was teaching me, I realized She was very impatient and proceeded to rush me Telling me I quote “COME ON COME ON LETS GOO” at that moment I felt overwhelmed already like I just got into the vehicle and this was my first school that taught me hand over hand So I was not used to this. Then as i start driving trying get used to driving hand over hand She was yelling at me a lot For little and big things I was getting very frustrated because I didn’t pay you to yell at me I paid you to Teach me how to drive not overwhelm and discourage me then As I’m performing my parallel parking she was Stating that their method of driving is the only right method like if it was a competition I feel like she needs to be a bit more patient right after the Lesson I felt very discouraged I didn’t feel like I learned anything Because She was overwhelming me as I asked her What should I work on? She proceeded to tell me Everything When I try to ask her on specifics, she rushes me out the car for her next appointment The only good thing I can really say about her is that she very detailed Oriented She just needs to ease up a bit she act as if I’m gonna crash the car when I’m driving

Experiencia negativa: I recently purchased 3 refresher driving lessons from your school because I recently started back driving after a very long time not being behind the wheel. I had Julio as my instructor for all 3 lessons and Julio has zero patience and no people's skills when it comes to helping people behind the wheel. All this man does is get nasty and yells every time you make a little mistake. There is no need to be hostile and quite frankly raise his voice at every single error big or small. I am all for constructive criticism but Julio does not need to basically get very angry and rude at every little mistake. I am not the only one who have said this about Julio. Having Julio as a driving instructor left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will never use him again. No one should have to deal with an impatient driving instructor.
