Wake's Driving School

Experiencia fantástica: Very good working

Experiencia fantástica: Vera good

Experiencia fantástica: Great school, great instructors, and very nice people. Great place. They are very fair and try their hardest to help the students out. :) I definitely enjoyed my time with them.

Experiencia negativa: Garbage school, no wonder its the cheapest. How can an instructor take points away from turning right on the red light “to late”. Tim did a horrible job, over the time this place gets worse and worse they fired the only reasonable person Rachel, she was the best, w out her this place is garbage. Huge money grab, if you ever get Tim as ur test taker, you might as well expect to pay to retake the test. Place is going downhill. I also used my blinkers but he marked me as not using them. And of-course they gonna believe his word over mine. They just trying to find a way to milk us.

Experiencia fantástica: great instructors they actually care about you passing and take there time with you all instructors are always happy and in a good goofy mood they never fail to make me laugh and actually make sure i’m learning

Experiencia fantástica: Про автошколу остались очень положительные впечатления. Персонал всегда дружелюбный и услужливый. Прекрасное место для сдачи экзамена по вождению. Легко и быстро можно назначить встречу. Отдельное спасибо Томасу, который обучал практическим навыкам вождения! Спасибо за профессионализм, терпение и отличное чувство юмора! Инструкции было легко понять даже на другом языке. Томас всё доступно обяснял, и если надо было показывал жестами или рисовал. Довольна обучением буду советовать знакомым!!!

Experiencia negativa: Can’t recommend this place any less. Wasted so much money at this school only to be met with instructors who did nothing to ensure my child’s success. They don’t care about teaching students how to drive in the slightest, they care about milking you for every last penny. The amount of fees I’ve been charged with is absurd, and they have the most ridiculous policies. The instructors were fine in teaching in a classroom setting but they didn’t instruct in the slightest when it came to learning how to drive. Communication was poor and there was a complete lack of understanding regarding needs. They provided no personalized attention or one-on-one time unless you paid extra. What’s the point of a driving school that doesn’t teach you how to drive?! Very disappointing.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful place to take a driving test. Easy and quick to schedule an appointment. The check and registration in process was also very simple. They are very welcoming and cheerful knowing that most people come in anxious. Instructions were easy to understand even in another language. We had a wonderful experience here! Thank you Wake's Driving School!

Experiencia negativa: Instructors are horrible. I'm pretty sure they fail people on purpose to get an extra $70 on the drive test. My friend parallel parked and was 6 inches from the curb and the instructor marked off points because he was too far from the curb. Then backing around the corner the instructor said everything was good, but he didn't stop at the stop sign backing up and marked him down 4 points. So I think they do a horrible job.

Experiencia fantástica: I would like to share my heartfelt thanks to Wake's Driving School. Patrick is a great instructor and is very personable with teenagers. The staff is always friendly and helpful. My daughter had the misfortune of having a scary accident early on in her driving journey and needed a little extra loving care getting over that and to be confident with her driving again. Larry gave her gentle support and was very understanding (and funny) so she felt very comfortable with him. We requested him many times, but we liked every instructor we met. She ended up scoring a 98 on her driving test and got her license yesterday. She is so happy!

Experiencia fantástica: All the employees care about the students academic learning and experience. No complaints.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 звезд и не меньше. Спасибо всем

Experiencia negativa: My wife took the test for the first time at this school, and they made her fail badly. I don't recommend this school to anyone. Goodbye.

Experiencia fantástica: I had Thomas as my examiner and he was the best! I had great experience with this school and with Thomas

Experiencia fantástica: Learning to drive was once a daunting task for me, as I was fearful of being behind the wheel and responsible for operating a vehicle. However, thanks to the exceptional support and guidance from the Wake's Driving School's staff, my fears vanished. I was fortunate to enroll in this school, where I received personalized attention from Emily at the front desk and instructors Foster and Larry, who are highly qualified and dedicated to helping students drive. I am eternally grateful to Instructor Larry, who instilled confidence in me from the very beginning and enabled me to drive safely and confidently on the roads. His expertise and encouragement were invaluable, and I highly recommend this school, especially for those with no prior driving experience, as it provides the perfect environment to take that first step. Instructor Larry's exceptional teaching and support made all the difference in my driving journey, and I will always be grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Сдал с первого раза и теорию и практику с интервалом в неделю (читайте книгу с правилами , все вопросы от туда ) Билеты разделены на три группы A B C в каждой группе по 5 подгрупп и в каждой из пяти по 40 вопросов итого 600 вопросов . Билет из 40 вопросов. Теория была на русском языке правда перевод корявый . Вождение было в на автомобиле школы можно и на своем. Просили выполнить все требуемые упражнения движение задним ходом за угол как можно ближе к бордюру, параллельная парковка между автомобилями, и т.д. Но с моим стажем вождения 17 лет в россии это было не проблема. Претензий нет , все адекватно. Школе и инструктору большое спасибо.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a very good experience taking my driving test here! Everyone was kind and professional making the test a lot less stressful!

Experiencia fantástica: Здраствуйте по какому номеру можно звонить. Чтоб записаться.

Experiencia fantástica: Wakes driving school is such a good driving school for teaching me new things that I never knew about.

Experiencia fantástica: Had foster as my teacher, he was pretty mid, not that good at fortnite.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool place I guess

Experiencia fantástica: I could sleep if i wanted to

Experiencia fantástica: Ally is amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm actually here right now, super nice staff and nice environment. My parents both went here too! Ali was my teacher but I had to make up classes w/ Foster too, they were both amazing! My drives are always so fun too! <3

Experiencia negativa: I’d like to start this review by empathizing that I mean no disrespect to the people of this establishment and it was an alright school overall, but I would recommend a different driving school to anyone considering this school that has anxiety with driving. I’ve had two of my close friends also have a negative experience with this school or rather instructor. I really liked working with Rachelle and Russ (not sure if he still works here), but my biggest complaint is towards the instructor, Foster. Both of my friends have said that he yelled at them during their drive tests which like in my opinion should be a sign that he should not be teaching students to drive especially students who are just learning to drive. Any person knows that yelling only adds to the stress of the driver which could potentially cause them to get more anxious behind the wheel which could lead to a possible crash. I understand that frustration could arise when a student is not performing to the best of their ability, but under no circumstances should you yell at the student— this will only cause them to become discouraged and become an anxious driver. You shouldn’t be an instructor if you’re not able to keep your cool or aren’t able to help a student understand + correct their wrong in an appropriate manner. I had my drivers test scheduled with him and I was already having anxiety when I saw that he would be conducting my test because of my friends experiences, but was really in need of my license so I just went on with it. I will admit that I did make a mistake during the test and I take full accountability for that. The event already left me pretty shaken up so having an instructor yell at you when the school was aware that you had anxiety over driving was incredibly frustrating and humiliating. He made it much worse. Instead of taking the time to go over what I could’ve done differently in a more comfortable approach he thought that yelling would somehow make me better understand. You can have the student understand that they need to pay more attention without resulting to yelling. He made me lose my confidence with driving and this event discouraged me so much that I stopped driving altogether for about 7 months. I finally had the courage to start driving and went to a different school outside of town and am having a much better experience. I never want someone to go through what my friends or I went through so my biggest recommendation to parents (or anyone) looking for a good school to help your kid become a confident driver— please avoid this school or instructor.

Experiencia fantástica: Accessible and visible. Despite sharing a plot and parking space, you are still able to easily find and enter this business. The staff are extremely friendly and are always able to answer any queries. I took my driving class there, it is slightly pricey in comparison to others, but it is worth it for the quality and level of care they give to each student. The classes ther are comprehensive and interactive as well as having friendly and funny instructors. If you miss a class they let you make it up and are sure to give you all the upcoming days when that specific class topic is covered again. It is easy to schedule tests and drives through a quick call to the office. You maybe also walk in during business hours to get info and help for anything related to obtaining a driver's license. 100% recommend this driving school!

Experiencia negativa: DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING HERE. i know driving school/drivers test are limited in Battle Ground but it’s not worth wasting your money. Took a test so many times and only failed by one point BOTH TIMES. HE want to take your money and waste your time. I am a great driver who took driving lessons and have passed TWO practice test. Don’t waste your time please.

Experiencia negativa: Horrible school...don't waste your money.

Experiencia fantástica: Took my DOL driving test here. Examiner was not intimidating and gave clear instructions. No tricks or gotchas.

Experiencia fantástica: 2 of my children have been through this school and my younger ones will as well. We commute from Woodland (even before woodlands driving school shut down) because the program is great and the staff are so helpful and patient.

Experiencia fantástica: Have struggled with gaining the confidence to drive for some time. I had an awful experience at a other local driving school a while back & ever since have been terrified to take the tests needed to get my license.. Wake’s Driving School & their kind staff certainly helped me overcome get at it & take the tests! The staff is beyond welcoming to anyone who walks in their door & all are amazing communicators. 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: They were wonderful! Great experience

Experiencia fantástica: Would highly recommend this place very nice easy going people.

Experiencia fantástica: Now that I am almost done with wakes..I am so great full for yall teachers. I have Russ as my teacher, and he was kind, funny, and just a really cool dude! Every once in a while Larry or foster will pop in, and they both seem like cool people too. I know for sure that I always look forward to the classes, unlike my regular school classes. I look forward to seeing both the teachers and the students. All the teachers and staff at wakes are very polite and nice, but not only that, they really do care about each and every one of us passing the class. Everyone really makes you feel welcome. They follow all the Covid precautions very closely which makes everything much safer than many other drivers ed classes. Also...the only homework they have you do is DRIVE. So no complaining about that lol. But thank yall again at wakes for the amazing experience...and thank you again Russ for being an amazing teacher!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is so nice! Foster is the best, and everything went and is going very smoothly!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place and super nice people

Experiencia fantástica: Wakes is a really great driving school, not only are all the teachers nice but they are really easy to talk to. I had to miss a class since I had another thing planned and it was easy to reschedule my class.

Experiencia fantástica: Very well priced for testing. And Driving instructor Tanya was great. Definitely recommend this place

Experiencia fantástica: Wake's staff are kind and helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Well done. Good instruction in class and in the car. My second kid just finished here too, they are still great! PS: I met an older couple from someplace in rural Chile. They didn't speak very good English, so they needed an English Translator to help out/explain questions. Anyways, they very much liked this place too.

Experiencia fantástica: Recently I used their services. The services were excellent.They were professional, yet very friendly. I highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: I was so impressed with Wakes Driving School! I am 28 years old & needed to get my license & they helped me feel comfortable & not emberessed! Russ & Cassandra were my instructors and they were awesome! Thank you Wakes Driving school for having employee’s that care about their customers & make them feel more confident!! They were so patient with me every step of the way! I can’t thank Wakes Driving school enough for helping me reach a HUGE milestone in my life!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Огромный плюс, что в этой школе можно сдать теорию и вождение, и результаты пойдут в DMV. Только предварительно надо подать заявку в DMV. Весь коллектив школы очень классные! Если очень плохо знаете английский, как в моём случае, не проблема, вам всё доступно объяснят. Даже инструктор , если вы его не понимаете, покажет руками или нарисует))), что от вас хочет. Если нужны правила на русском языке, попросите у девушек на рецепшене, они вам дадут книжку, потом как сдадите вернете. На личном опыте, советую эту школу, не пожалеете

Experiencia fantástica: Their clock is backwards.

Experiencia fantástica: very good instructor, friendly and understanding if you are nervous or worried. She spoke for me in Russian, and it's super nice! Thank you so much! Русскоговорящим людям может даже говорить на русском"на лево"или "на право",что для меня было огромным удивлением и большим плюсом,особенно когда переживаешь,и по невнимательности или непониманию языка можешь перепутать элементарные вещи

Experiencia negativa: Terrible communication and understanding where kids are concerned. They will charge you for things without explaining to you up front. Kids with be kids and they exploit that. Do yourself a favor and use a different school. I was warned and should have listened.

Experiencia fantástica: Got lots of knowledge about how to drive. Foster is the best instructor in town. Recommended 10/10.

Experiencia fantástica: My sons both loved the school, Foster rocks!

Experiencia positiva: Worked well for us, easy, friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Good school

Experiencia fantástica: I didn't get my license as a teen, never needed one. As an adult I need one with driving my kids around while my husband works. I was nervous to test for a license since I never had real driving experience. I did a few private driving lesson with Wake's Driving School before doing my driving test with them. They were very professional. They helped me more in just a couple hours of practice than I ever could have imagined. Thank you Wake's Driving School for going above and beyond my expectations!

Experiencia negativa: Any place but here! I Don't recommend this school. They do not ensure the success of your child when it comes to driving and it's clear they are only there as a JOB and to make money. My child failed the test do to wording and they offer no help. Other driving schools will spend extra one on one time with your child (without and additional fee). Wakes doesn't care!

Experiencia fantástica: Drive instructors are very friendly and make learning fun

Experiencia fantástica: It was great! I highly recommend the school. Well balanced and above all they were down to earth with my son. They made him enjoy driving and the class!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Sent my kids to Wake's. I couldn't be more pleased. All three of my children are great drivers. They all loved their instructors. Thank you Wake's for a job well done!

Experiencia negativa: The classroom for my son was great. However, the website nor the office staff explained that after the 6 week class he was also required to do addtional drives. These drives were in addition to the classroom. When I attempted to sign him up for drives I was told we could only schedule 3 and no more until he finished those. Most of the times were filled and we will be continueing to take my son into town for his drives for an additional 2 months. They should have been explained better and they need to allow more times to schedule drives.

Experiencia negativa: Not pleased with this company! They consistently use the front of our home as their parking test. We have many vacant lots in this new subdivision. My husband kindly asked the driver if he could choose another spot on occasions and he got defensive and rude. occasionally is fine but why do we have to listen to cars backing in and out and car doors slamming on a regular basis! Why choose to park right in front of our home......disrespectful.
