Elm Auto School

Experiencia negativa: Serious Warning – Unprofessional and Negligent Driving School Experience I’m sharing this to strongly warn anyone considering this driving school. My experience was nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. After registering and being given a clear promise for a specific road test date — which I have written proof of — I was completely ignored. No communication. No updates. Nothing. When I personally went to follow up, the staff acted like they had no idea what was going on. The appointment was never scheduled, and the response I got from one of the employees was careless and dismissive, as if my time and money meant nothing. This wasn’t a small mistake — this was complete negligence. They took my money, gave me false promises, and then forgot everything. No apology, no accountability. They eventually told me I could come and get my money back, but that doesn’t erase the stress and time wasted because of their disorganization and lack of professionalism. Do not trust this school. If this is how they treat students before the test, imagine what the rest of the process is like. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere that actually respects its students and honors its word. #Warning #AvoidThisSchool #DrivingTestNightmare #Unprofessional ⸻

Experiencia fantástica: As someone who personally went through Elm Auto School for my license a couple months ago, I can confidently say this was the best choice for a school. I had each of the instructors and all were extremely nice and although they pushed me a little out of my comfort zone, it was just the right amount to help me feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. The classes were very educational, and the instructors enforced a strict no-cellphone policy to ensure their students were taking everything in and learning it. It only took me about 2 months to finish my on-roads and observations in comparison to some of my friends, going to other schools, who took around 3.5 months to finish theirs. They also worked around my busy schedule extremely well, picking me up from practice, dropping me off at work, picking my up from work, dropping me off at home, etc. After my classes, on-roads, and observations, I was very confident in driving abilities and passed my test. If your looking into driving schools for your teenagers, I would say Elms is definitely a great option!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at Elm Auto School. As someone who hadn't driven in almost 20 years they were very helpful in me getting my license. The class I was in had about 20 high school students. We watched several videos, some of which were very graphic depictions of accident aftermaths. But it drove home the importance of being responsible behind the wheel. Some of the videos were older and had cheesy Naked Gun type jokes. The younger kids didn't get them at all. I thought they were hilarious. They have books that teach you the rules of the road and after reading them you go over them in class. My driving instructor was Lora. She is amazing. Very patient and makes you feel very comfortable as you are learning. I took my initial 12 lessons but felt I needed more. It had nothing to do with how I was taught. It was just me being nervous. They were generous enough to give me 6 additional lessons at a generous discount. I passed on my first try. It was a great feeling. I'd like to thank Lora and everyone at Elm Auto School for a wonderful problem free experience. I'd highly recommend Elm Auto School.

Experiencia negativa: i was driving through Springfield and the car didn’t merge well, following that the driving instructor turned around in the car, yelling, and throwing hands up. Not a good look for a driving school.
