Colonial Driving School

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience and learned a lot with Mr.O!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the best experience.. I signed up for 3 2 hour private lessons and it was great, very professional… I recommend Mason to any new on the road or just need a little more practice he was an awesome instructor

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Colonial Driving.

Experiencia positiva: ***edited to add at bottom. Thank you for response My son took the driving school last November and we were told he was all set and we’d get his license in the mail and he wouldn’t have to attend court ceremony. Never happened. Called driving school and they told us to take form to dmv and we should be able to get it there. Did that and then were told nothing was ever submitted as to his completion of driving course. Called the school again and was told yes they did. Called DMV again and was told dates were missing from completion form so it was never processed and I was never notified. Now here we are almost a year later and he still can’t get his license bc they won’t accept the form and he’s still under 17. So why did I pay almost $500 for him to take these courses and get his license in order for everyone to fail miserably at the follow through after the fact. No I do not recommend. ***edited to add..thank you for your response. We do have another appointment at a different DMV to hopefully get it resolved. I will reach out if we are still not able to get it and will update my review. I’m not sure why we never got notice from DMV about the error as they had correct address and everything. ***update on 10/16/24…we went to Hopewell DMV per the driving school recommendation and left with Temp license in hand with permanent to follow in mail around 15 days….it’s been quite the ordeal but glad we finally have the situation resolved.

Experiencia fantástica: I don't usually give reviews to things, but this place deserves it. So far I'm 2 lessons in and it's been really useful in learning the fundamentals of driving. One instructor in specific I've enjoyed learning from was Marcus? I'm not good with names, but he was a Brazilian guy I believe named Marcus. He was really patient and good at explaining the techniques, but one thing in specific was how relaxed he was. I have high anxiety and get nervous to do new things, but him being relaxed made me feel really confident.

Experiencia fantástica: They are great! Everytime I've used them, they helped my daughter to drive because I was not doing it

Experiencia fantástica: My youngest daughter took lessons with the school and we were so pleased with the outcome that we now have my youngest son taking lessons.

Experiencia fantástica: She “Michelle was so good. She has great customer service skills

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice people and great environment

Experiencia negativa: A lady driver for this driving school is pootling along on I95 blocking traffic, swerving dangerously and tailgating people. Her temp tag is flapping haphazardly off the back of her car and she is hogging the outside lane driving slower than even those in the right lane, and therefore disruoting flow of traffic. Based on this demonstration aline I wouldn't hire this instructor EVER to teach my kids how to drive, holy moly!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing teachers and the specialist is a master at her job, recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Glad my 16 yr old called them. Michelle on the phone gladly answered all my mom questions and set up a workable schedule for my son’s classes. Instructor Mason was always on time and very professional. Definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: The teacher was wonderful. she made it very interesting and made the hours fly

Experiencia fantástica: All of the instructors were great and very patient with me. They really want you to be able to get your license and be a great driver. I really recommend this place to anyone who needs their behind the wheel lessons.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best driving school! I got my license through here and the entire week of me driving they were nothing but supportive and sweet. Even with my mistakes they never made me feel bad about it! Every worker here is so sweet and funny i highly recommend going here!!

Experiencia fantástica: Michelle was very helpful when registering my son for Behind the Wheel training. She explained things in detail and she was able to quickly get us some reserved slots. The in car instructors were very professional and courteous throughout each session. Highly recommend Colonial Driving School.

Experiencia fantástica: GREAT for drivers with anxiety! I had my license for 4 years but still experienced anxiety when driving. Private lessons at Colonial Driving are helping to get rid of my anxiety and EMPOWER me as a driver. Thanks Colonial Driving for teaching me the skills to be a confident, calm driver. Anyone with driving-related anxiety, no matter how seasoned a driver, will greatly benefit from Colonial Driving.

Experiencia fantástica: Instructors made my daughter feel at ease. Lessons were informative with tips. We highly recommend this business!

My instructor Mari was the sweetest , she helped me receive my license smoothly and efficiently with great tips to help me out in the future aswell. everyone there is very cheerful and high spirited . Thank you all, it was a great experience

Experiencia fantástica: I am a 1st time and now, a very loyal client of Colonial Driving School (CDS). CDS exceeded my expectations in each category, each of which I rate as a "5" out of "5" stars. I highly recommend their services to both new drivers, as well as experienced drivers in need of improvement to their existing driving skills. My experience began as a first-time client with a last minute request for a private lesson. I requested and received a personal one-on-one appointment for Road Skills test instruction within 24 hours. The purpose was intensive instruction to pass a DMV Road Skills test. This was a big "ask" without prior notice to CDS. A challenge to the success of this lesson was that I have been a licensed driver for over 40 years. This required that I successfully "un-learn" old habits that I accumulated over 40 years and "re-learn" the current Road Skills test requirements in a very short amount of time. The results were nothing short of AMAZING. Needless to say, I passed the DMV test with ease and confidence! I was able to accomplish this because of the accurate and intuitive instruction/communication techniques that were taught in such a way that I could instinctively recall and perform them even in an unfamiliar and stressful road test environment. Thank you CDS!

Experiencia fantástica: I did behind the wheel with them, instructor was very professional and easy to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: Taught my teenage son how to drive and he passed the road test. These folks are talented and reliable. Flawless and excellent communication. Couldn't ask for more.

Experiencia fantástica: Colonial Heights Driving School is the best place I ever been too. They really take pride in teaching their students. They give back excellent feed back and knock out bad habits that drivers may have. They stay calm and collect, they always have a friendly smile, and they answer any question a student may have. I recommend this school 100%. Thank you Colonial Heights Driving School.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing, finished behind the wheel through them!! highly reccomend!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great teacher Daryl Gibson. Breaks down the material real good. He makes class fun and interesting.. Great choice.

Experiencia fantástica: The best school ever!!! I took a 3 fail learners course. My teacher was Daryl which is the best!! He made the class fun and interesting. I took the class on 03/9/19 and my test today on 03/12/19. And I passed my learners test. I was so excited I cried!!! It’s been a long time coming and I finally did it! I recommend this school to anybody! I will be going to them to get my License. Amazing School!!

Experiencia fantástica: My instructors name was Daryl Gibbions and he was fantastic! I expected to be bored out of my mind and leave gaining no knowledge on how to improve my driving. That was the complete opposite! I actually had fun and thought it was a great experience. I learned things that I will continue to use when driving. It’s so cool to see someone living out Gods calling so clearly! He was a great teacher-funny, endearing, kind, and more! Walking out of class I talked to the people that took the class with me and we both agreed we felt super blessed that it wasn’t dreadful. Praise god for people living out their call!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely enjoyed the class ! 8 hours seemed a long time, but the instructor, Daryl Gibson, made it very interesting and fun! Definitely worth it and the price was great.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience for private driving lessons, I cannot speak to other services although it would probably be great as well. Friendly company to interact with. You just call or email the front desk to purchase services or ask further questions that are not on the website. For private lessons, you and the instructor mutually agree on lesson times and it is a good value as well. Instructor Daryl taught me invaluable driving skills that will be useful anywhere I go. (I highly recommend him and this company)
