Start Smart Driving Academy

Experiencia negativa: If I could leave 0 stars that would be more suitable for this place. I paid 1,100$ for my 2 kiddos to do schooling and 10 hours of driving education for both of them. They got into class in summer and finished the class, we tried to setup their first classes at the finish of them getting their permit. Since then getting ahold of them to schedule the drivers ed has been nearly impossible. I showed up at the office (since I hadn't received a call back or acknowledgement by phone) waited 5 minutes in front without even a "we'll be right with you" anything. The phone was ringing over and over as the 2 ladies in the office paid it no mind ( no wonder i couldnt get ahold of anyone). When the woman in her office finally asked how she could help I was told the stuff I had paid for expired. I waited another 45 minutes to speak with someone else. She was no help at all and there was no accountability at all on their part. Please don't waste your time or money.

Experiencia negativa: My little brother did a driving test here last week and today. The things they failed him on are ridiculous. He went 1mph over in a school zone for less than 5 seconds and it was an automatic fail? I’m looking at these reviews and I wish we would have seen them earlier. Sure that the cheapest but in the end you’re gonna be paying just as much cause they’ll fail you both times. The first time they failed him for going 3 miles an hour under the speed limit. Do not go here, ignore these good reviews you’ll thank me

Experiencia fantástica: The ladies over at Start Smart are a wonderful group, who strive to make the roads a safe place for all. We found them when looking for a place for our daughter to complete the required Behind the wheel instruction hours needed to complete the process to attain a license at 16. The quality of service provided by all the instructors is high. They offer great feedback and honest assessment of skills that allows for young drivers to be confident as well as prepared properly for their upcoming time behind the wheel solo. Vachelle, Connie and Sandy take care in their approach to instruction, correcting any habits that may have been developed during the drivers time holding a permit. Their attentive observation during the sessions allows for concise constructive criticism that prepares the driver for their upcoming drive test. Our daughter completed three 2 hour behind the wheel sessions which filled the requirement by the state of Colorado. At the end of the third session they performed a practice drive test which allowed for any last minute adjustments to driving form in preparation for the upcoming drive test. Our daughter then took her drive test with Sandy bright and early the next day, which she passed on the first try. Upon completion she said she is very glad that she went through Start Smart for the whole process, a sentiment I echo. From the cost being the best in town to the quality of the instruction, I highly recommend all the ladies here, they all care deeply and want to make sure you, your child or anyone else who needs to complete any type of instruction or take drive test does so with proper technique that will make for safe driving skills. This makes the roads a safer place to share. Thank you again Vachelle, Connie and Sandy! The Kish Family appreciates all you do and supports you fully in your future!

Experiencia fantástica: I always had such high anxiety when it came to driving due to PTSD from a car accident. I found this driving school and decided to try to it out. Sandy was such a great instructor and helped me gain the confidence to feel comfortable with driving. The feedback after every lesson was very nice to have that way I knew what to focus on. She was also my proctor when it came to my driving test and it helped me feel so confident to pass!! Thank you Sandy for being such a patient sweet soul!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Cindy was very helpful and accommodating.
