Enrolled our child over the summer of 2024. Fast track classes since course was offered over 4…read moreweeks as opposed to the semester long period typically of high school- which we thought would be better. Well, read on. Child states classes were incredibly boring (instructor was lazy and rolled around in his chair, while teaching) and videos were "out of touch". It did not captivate my child's attention nor did it pique any interest in learning. We enrolled our child in this class for drivers education. He turned 16 in late spring. Classroom is sufficient but the students state "an old fat man that never stands up but rolls around on his office chair". Incredibly boring and monotone. Part of the class includes a "behind the wheel" driving with the instructor. Scheduling "behind the wheel" (BTW) instructor times was, to say the LEAST, one of the worst and most horrific experiences ever! EVER!! Instructions were very unclear on how to schedule - no phone calls allowed, only texts. This could be perceived as innovative however it was in fact obnoxious! Responses to texts were untimely (up to 10 hours later), during hours "outside of normal busier hours" and inconsistent, ie no response after several follow-ups). The scheduler was mean, rude, uncooperative, prejudiced and lacked any sense of decency. She refused to give out her name, so henceforth will be known as "Karen". Karen claimed that students needed to finish class work before being scheduled for BTW and, that they would need to practice driving before BTW scheduling occurred. WTF!! - I thought the instructors were to teach them with their specially equipped cars(brake on the instructors side)!!! That's why we send them to driving school - to learn how to drive with equipment that's not accessible to the public!!! We as parents do not have the proper automobiles that are equipped-the instructors should be taking this on as that is what we pay them for!! We as parents have the responsibility to hone our children's BTW experience after the basic concepts are taught! Seems this school is backwards and doesn't want to be held accountable for the outcome and wants the students that have driving experience! I do not recommend this school at all if you want to get your children licensed for the first time. It was not very expensive but I suppose, you get what you pay for. Never, ever have I encountered such terrible customer service from a person; I do not understand how this business still exists!! Whether it's "Ken's Driving School" or "1st Breese" (Breeze?) -- stay far away.

I couldn't say enough great things about 160 Driving Academy! The entire staff was awesome, and…read moremade my process of getting my CDL-A a pleasure. They took me from start to finish with care and complete professionalism. 160 truly cares about you as an individual, and goes above and beyond to help strengthen your individual weaknesses. I had been at another driving school, but to them I was just cattle!! After 2 months the instructor never even knew my name. As a professional courtesy I won't mention their name, but what a waist of my over $2,100 hard earned dollars. I would very highly recommend 160 Truck Driving Academy to anyone who wants to learn from a school that cares about your skills and safety. And a Very Special Thank You to: Kim, Dave, Duck, Mr. Wally, Carl and Tim. I look forward to seeing you all again, with my new truck.

I have no complaints with the behind the wheel instructors. Lisa (New Lenox) in particular is…read morewonderful, very accommodating and great with the kids. I would give her all 5 stars, but the website and scheduling experience is a disaster. Because they try and operate the same site with several states it is like reading a bad novel to figure out where the information relevant to your area and your student is at on the website. Scheduling is an absolute joke, if you don't login on the day the times are released it becomes really hard to get times, you also can only book two lessons at a time if you are lucky. They have a default of 2 weeks to schedule them apart which means for 4 plus months you are managing this process. I just called to schedule the road test thru them yesterday and the phones were down for the day, called back today at noon and they don't take calls during lunch. finally got someone on the phone after 10 minutes and they informed me i can only book the road test if i have his permit in front of me. They make this way too difficult and for the money makes it even worse that they have such bad technology to support a process that does not help the customer at all. In summary look for other places that offer these services because this one is not consumer friendly. Pat

My daughter missed the cut off time for the in person lessons, but she could not take them due to the pandemic. I called today and they stated I have to pay another $150.00(on top of the $450 I already paid) in order for them to re-instate her. This is absurd and unethical. I will be going to another driving school just for her to get her in person lessons. I will be telling everyone I know with a teen, to not use this company!!

This place is an absolute joke…read more My child attended classes here. The instructors demanded the students provide gift cards in exchange for the privilege of using notes on exams, even going so far as to specify which gift cards they would accept. Not only is this unethical, but it teaches students that academic advantages can be bought rather than earned. It also discriminates against students that can't afford such gifts! My child also had a negative experience with one of the instructors. During a drive, the instructor screamed at my child and belittled them for asking a question. We were able to get a different instructor for subsequent drives, but the unstable individual that worked with my child is clearly in the wrong profession. I would encourage anyone looking for a driving school to look elsewhere!
