Allied Driving School

Experiencia negativa: Bad customer service.

Experiencia negativa: I booked Allied as it was the only school available to give my son driving lessons in a timely manner—he got his permit in June 2021, and we were able to schedule lessons in late July 2021—other schools were booked through the end of September 2021. I have listed the problems below: 1)The instructor, Gary, did NOT wear a mask (summer 2021–during COVID outbreak). We were in the height of the pandemic and its very close quarters in the car. 2) The car used was DISGUSTING—filthy, sticky and smelly; looked like it has not been washed since its purchase 5+ years before. 3) The car and Gary REEKED of cigarette smoke—the third hand smoke smell was so bad that my son came out smelling like it and had to immediately shower. 4)Gary was 30min late without calling for the first two lessons. I had to repeatedly remind him to give my son his full lesson. 5) My son had never driven and was just told to drive and was not spoken to or taught throughout the 3 lessons. He wasn’t given direction or feedback—I had to ask repeatedly for feedback. 6) My son was not taught anything—no parking, no backing up, no 3 pt turns or parallel parking, no freeway, no direction on what he will be tested on. Allied sent the certificate of completion after a month only because I kept calling about it. The only plus of the place is the cost, it’s $100 less than other schools—however, let’s factor in that I had to pay an additional $200 to have my son get additional lessons with another school and will probably set him up with another lesson because he needs those pointers for his behind the wheel test. I don’t know how Allied is able to maintain a business or be certified by the DMV. There service is abysmal.

Experiencia negativa: This is not a legit business. They rob you.

Experiencia negativa: Gary stole my money and took off. I had set up a three lesson driving course. After 1 lesson, he asked for payment then he scheduled me for 2nd lesson, 2weeks on the future. Gary took the full payment of 340$ cash upfront and never showed for 2nd lesson. He didn't provide a receipt and has not given any explanation for no show on 2nd lesson. Ive left 3 messeges and no reply. This is a scam. Allied Driving scams people.

Experiencia negativa: My father called to take their senior course... and twice they never showed up. They didn't even bother calling him to say they weren't coming or needed to cancel! I do NOT recommend at all!!!
