We have now sent two of our kids through 911 Driving School Lynnwood, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We did the online format with one and the traditional in-person class with the other. Both experiences were fantastic, well-organized, and incredibly thorough. Our most recent graduate did the in-person class and absolutely loved Dave. He was the classroom teacher and also served as the instructor for one of the behind-the-wheel drives. Dave has a wonderfully calm demeanor, which is exactly what a teenager needs when learning to navigate the roads. He is a truly great teacher who knows how to build confidence while keeping things engaging. read more

Unfortunately, it was a bad experience for me. The rules is to strict for teen course. Not a cheap price, and they make me feel so useless in "behind the wheel" class read more

DO NOT GO HERE! It's a scam and they will take your money and then make you wait weeks and weeks before approving course completion to get licensed. If your child forgets their ID, it costs $75- they won't even let you run home to get it (I mean- they are teenagers, they are gonna forget sometimes!). Horrible service, people were just rude. Pricing is different in person vs online (online much more expensive). read more

They are a scam. They get you in the door at the Lynnwood office by charging a lower cost then the other 912 Driving schools nearby. They then are bias towards pretty young women who are white. Be old. Be Black or African and you are conviently flunked and must retest on written and roadtest. They do not offer you any warm up roadtests. They do not hp you know the test vehicles. They do not let you finish road tests for any small infraction. They just take your money. A $99 test package quickly becomes a $200 test cost or more. Unlike some other test schools they charge you to use their vehicle ontop of the package cost. Do Not Test Here! Go to Xcelerent driving school for fair cost and testing in Bothell. I wish I had checked reviews before buying into this scam! Seems only pretty white girls give this business 5 stars! What are they doing for these men in the cars? No women road testers. Very interesting indeed. read more

The young lady was extremely rude to me when I asked her to show me the result score she didn't wanted to show me the retake for the test and she kept saying don't argue with me it is what I'm saying and go argue with the dmv not me, when I insisted to show me she left the office in a very rude abrupt way without even answering me and I had to deal with another person than her!!! This first young lady never wanted to show me my score not the first neither second attempt as they don't let you see your score when you submit the test and when I asked her and persist to show me she was doing things on the computer took long time and this proves they lack credibility and honesty as she was editing my score on the computer as she didn't just open my profile and show me immediately it took her a lot and she was typing things on the keyboard editing my score!!! THIS IS A RIP OFF!! They fail people to force you keep paying additional 20$ for retakes!! Never again this place and my advise stay away from them.. read more

See all

Super nice staff, patient and clear. Put my anxious kid at ease. Really appreciate them!

Bogdan the driving instructor was very nice and helpful kind. And very descriptive with every turn or move I was making

The instruction was cruel to my daughter, all over her face with alot of pressure enough to spike her anxiety and kind of racist . She's is Hispanic but dont speak damn Spanish, she speak prue English. Keep pressure relate to Spanish interpreter or need to speak. She repeatly say no not needing and dont speak Spanish. It was alike 10 mins test then be asshole to fail. He took forever to begin the driving test while it is suppose yo be at 10am. Lousy shit place or workers. Also we fought fir opening schedule available for while long too. We go find somewhwre else with more of respectful ​ read more

Terrible communication and customer service. They are rude, only give partial information, and aren't clear about requirements (and there are a bunch of stupid extra requirements that make no sense and aren't clearly identified as requirements in the student portal). They send lots of useless emails about what requirements there are, not which ones your kid hasn't completed, and then they charge you more money for an "extension" of the time to complete them. Not like it costs them any more -- they're just looking to charge their customers more for their poor communication. Also had problems with my daughter being marked absent for class when she wasn't. VERY FRUSTRATING! read more

This is a world class zero star business. They will collect your fees for tests and consecutively keep canceling all appointments so that it will meet their own convenience. Knowledge test has been canceled twice, for the first cancellation, we got a phone call. Ok that's fine. The second cancellation nothing. We show up and was told that there was an email sent out, however upon reviewing our inbox, all we received was in fact a reminder of the appointment and not a cancellation. And yes we checked our spam and junk folder... Such a waste of time and joke this place is... If you are reading this, I suggest you try a different driving school as this place will not only disappoint but upset you for how much time you're going to be wasting with them. I cannot honestly say that this is a legitimate business that cares for the well-being of their clients. All they care about is collecting their fees and providing them the very lowest level of service... read more

911 Driving School - They have time to make the sign but won't call you to tell you that the test was canceled. - Driving Schools Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

This place is a joke. They have two different prices for the knowledge test. Online you have to pay $30 but in person you only pay $15. I paid for the $30 online and was suppose to get up to "3" try's but when I asked the person at the front desk she said no not for the one I paid. On the online it says up to "3" try's per day and I wasn't allowed to take it read more

911 Driving School - 911 stealing from people - Driving Schools Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

One of the most poorly ran businesses I have ever seen. I'd recommend any other driving school besides this one. I understand that COVID threw a wrench in a lot industries, especially ones that are necessities like state licensing. However even after almost 2 years since the pandemic started, they still don't have a firm grasp on how to: 1.Staff adequately for the demand (and retaining that staff) 2.Prioritizing customers and their employees instead of their bottom line. Despite having a backlog of kids who did not have to complete driver's education by a deadline due to COVID relaxing some DOL requirements, they continually filled all of their classes to max capacity despite there not being enough drives or instructors for new students *who are now expected to complete the course by a deadline*. They not only filled classes to max capacity but have RAISED their prices during the pandemic at least twice. This completely takes advantage of the fact that the DOL outsources their license and permit testing and this school is the closest to the Lynnwood DOL, so everyone (immigrants, teenagers, people renewing licenses, people who were released from incarceration, etc) all have to pay an asinine amount of money to be able to get a license to drive, work, get an apartment etc. Since I know the owners care a lot about the reviews, I speak to you now. Take better care of your employees and instructors, the people who make you all of your money. I watched at least 6 people come and go in the span of 9-10 months, and the only ones you seem to stand by are the ones you can't afford to lose without losing customers. I truly hope that things have improved for the sake of staff and your customers but nothing will improve unless you dismantle and reassemble your entire management strategy. You live in another state and send the owner of a different school to be your "guy on the ground". Every time I brought up genuine concerns, including the assault of another staff member, I was met with either indifference and lack of action, or cattiness. Be better. read more

Good customer service and instructors! I learned how to drive and passed my drive test in 5 hours! The only thing I would recommend is that Phill ( instructor) don't yell at students when they make mistakes , it's irritating. The other professors were actually dope! read more

Not a good place at all. They are very unfriendly and treat students like shit! I wish I had looked at their reviews before enrolling my child. Even the front desk has a hard time saying hi back to you. Too much attitude with the front desk as well as the instructors!! read more

Sent two teens here the last 2 years and it has been the easiest experience. Online classes worked great, makeups were easy to schedule when needed, deuces were easy to schedule and the office was quick to respond to email and phone calls. Kids both liked their drive instructors and found them super friendly and helpful. They lay out everything you need to know before classes start and checked in on us when we needed. Super impressed read more

This place is terrible. The people are awful, customer service is a joke. Bad attitudes, poor customer interactions, poor follow through, unreliable. I have since used other services in the area for another child which only highlighted the poor nature of the organization read more

I have brought people here on different occasions and they have always passed. I myself passed the knowledge and drivers test here and have always been treated with courtesy and respect. I just advise to not be late and be mindful that they are a business. I think any responsible adult should be aware of that. The price is fair compared to other places since they do have appointments available soon. So if your looking to get your license asap then this is it. read more

Where to begin... The course itself is fine; I learned to drive, and it was easy enough to follow. The issue comes with literally everything else. Their schedule is TIGHT for drives, so you'll have to wait months between each test. Each one is 50$, too, and if something happens that stops the drive- for example, you accidentally wear flip-flops, it's cancelled. (But you still have to pay the 50$!) I honestly felt scammed Then, on to the instructors themselves. They don't pay attention in the car, playing games on their phone while you drive, and when they do pay attention, instead of correcting any mistakes you make they get angry and shout at you. I had a perfect drive, but near the middle I ran a stop sign while being tailgated- instead of at least waiting until the stressful situation was over, my instructor started shouting. If you're considering this place, don't. read more

Just wanted to say thank you for people who work there, had good experience with passing knowledge test and driving one as well, had hard time with instructor by name Carlos, such a rude person and crazy mind, he cut my points and didn't explain good cause he doesn't speak well, in a car he was explaining reasons why I got so low but I even didn't understand him, he said he cut my points cause I parked on up hill wrong but we even didn't go up hill and I said show me let's go where is up hill there he just ran away from conversation, and said I have to imagine uphill but he even didn't tell me to imagine, just ask to not get test with him, my second time had such a cute instructor with beautiful smile explaining everything so nice. read more

The instructors are rude, unprofessional, and inconsistent. I was trying to voice my opinion about how I didn't appreciate the way the instructor was talking to me and instead of taking accountability he played victim. No apologies or anything, he just claimed why he didn't understand why I said he was being rude but he would have if he let me talk, instead he kept cutting me off and said that he was just doing his job. He claims he was doing his job but where in the job description does it imply that you have to be disrespectful? The instructors are also very inconsistent saying different things and it's just all very unprofessional. read more

Instructor was rude, didn't tell me ahead of time to get shoes.They came right at 9 and told me at 9:07 that I need shoes and for being 1-2 min late, canceled my drive.my house is about 5 min away and if he told me right away when he came I would of still be able to drive. He was watching me from about 10 feet away and knew that I didn't have any shoes on. read more

I enrolled my sister in law Mary Jane (MJ) to 911 Driving School in Lynwood, WA. Driving Instructor Robert "Rob" Clarke was assigned to help MJ. I ride along and observed 4 out 5 lessons. MJ was nervous at first as English is not her primary language. Our concerns about communication barrier was immediately diminished when we heard Mr. Clarke speak the first time. Mary Jane and I were very impressed with Mr. Clarke for the following reasons: - He was clear and direct to the point in giving instructions. In addition, he enunciates words very well (none of those nasal sounding pronunciation of words). - He used MJ's mistakes/errors as a teaching moment. He also give positive comments/feedback when things were done right. No arrogance. His teaching style/approach/presentation maximized the learning potential and/or capability of the student. - He is very professional on ALL of those times towards MJ and I. He have not used those paid times to asked us about ourselves or any personal information. He knows MJ's name as he always checked her driver's license prior to each lesson and call by her name but I'm not sure if he knows mine. And it's okay :) as he maximized student learning time and utilized those times on our favor. - Mr. Clark have a professional, attentive and calm demeanor. He made his points and delivered the lessons without any sarcasm. - He was able to assess MJ's strength and weakness fairly quickly and used more time focusing on teaching and practicing where MJ lacked skills. There was no time wasted. Every penny we have paid to 911 Driving school in Lynwood WA was very well worth it! - Lastly but not the least, he made those driving lessons easy to learn and he ensures the student implemented SAFETY maneuvers at all times. After the lessons were completed, I am now confident to have MJ safely drive my car. I would highly recommend Mr. Robert "Rob" Clarke who works for 911 Driving school located at Lynwood, WA. DISCLAIMER/ DISCLOSURE: The above unsolicited reviews and opinions are my own. I am not related to or have personal knowledge about Robert Clarke other than those times where I have observed him carrying his duties as a driving instructor. I am not affiliated to 911 Driving school located at Lynwood, Wa. I am not paid and/or compensated in exchange of this review. Thank you, Liza M P.S. I would like to thank the 2 front staff/receptionists (Brittney and Lacy) who helped us with bookings/scheduling. They are very accommodating and polite. read more

Yes, I went in for licensing and it was quick easy and all the staff are wonderful! It's a HUGE improvement on the governments agency!!!!!

wish i could give this place 0 stars. the whole thing is okay, its just the woman in the front that ruins the experience. i went in to makeup my missed class, and i had to watch an hour and 40 min long video. After I was done the woman asked me if I sped it up. I was honest, so I said a little bit, like at 1.3 (didnt even make a difference). I was still there for like the same time, its not like i finished it in an hour, and she said the DOL doesnt accept it sped up. This woman is so unprofessional and made my blood boil. She didnt even tell me that before I started. She cant even do her damn job right, now I have to waste another hour and 40 at this damn place. Its not only me, lots of people have told me they don't like her either, she has an attitude and is unprofessional. She needs to be fired! read more

I gave this a 3 star because of the attitude of one of the girls at the front desk. Not good with customer service. She needs to go to school for customer service. I would give the school a 5 for the instructor that gave me my driving test. Monte, no last name was just wonderful. He new I was so nervous. He put me at ease with telling me what I need and don't want to do to past the test. If he is an instructor in the class room. Just listen to him and you pass with flying colors. There was another nice gentleman that just move to the state of Washington. He was very nice with good customer service skills. Launa read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! My family and I had a horrible experience with Micaiah and the whole establishment. She is super rude and unprofessional. Every time we had to deal with her, she had horrible attitude. She has no clue what customer service is. She should never be allowed to work with customers. I brought my sister all the way from Marysville to take a driving test. We were 7 minutes late and she gave us rude attitude and asked my sister to reschedule and pay for the test again. We were never informed that being 7 minutes late would result in rescheduling. It was never mentioned in their policy, as well. When we tried to reason with her, another guy interrupted our conversation without introducing himself, and started yelling at us. Super rude and unprofessional people. read more

Please confirm your account to post your review 7/6/2020 This place is a SCAM!! I've been driving for 14 years with 0 traffic infractions and due to moving to the state right when my California license expired I had to take this test with this driving school. she lied and said i never stopped at 3 stop signs which even with their terrible breaks on their cars I STILL DID. said I crossed over a line that was NEVER there. said i never turned my wheels on the hill, I DID! ***This was me giving them a second chance due to them sending me away for 1 minute late the first time! Two times ive been here and left with Nothing but disparity, $100 less dollars and lost in hope that Racism isnt as common as it is...stupid me. Im whole hearted glad these cops are here and not on the streets but at this Rate i dont want to drive in this state for my only safety. read more

I underwent the driver's training classes at the Lynnwood 911 driving school, and I came away totally impressed. Enpart and all the other staff members were wonderful and very helpful. Enpart especially, is a great instructor, and has a very effective way of teaching. He taught me the key watch-out items, and helped me become proficient. They were also very flexible in finding me driving slots. Needless to say, I did very well in my test I attribute my success to the wonderful people at 911 Lynnwood. A Very Big Thank You!!! ~Haimanti B read more

Talk about a snotty receptionist... what terrible customer service! I had used them multiple times in the past and called to inquire about scheduling. Instead of being helpful this lady was super rude and short to the point where they lost my business. I hope the manager or owner takes note of this review and fixes her attitude because it's really a turn off to want to spend $ at a school that doesn't treat a kind inquiring customer with descent human respect. Shame on her read more

We were sceptical after reading reviews but we did it anyway since it was a written test. However the staff was pretty good. All the people were nice and straightforward. So we did the driving test here as well. The instructor Lucy I think was very nice and easy going that my wife did not have to fear anything but be calm and drive safe. Overall a nice place with open availability throughout the whole calendar. read more

If I were to give 0 star I would do that. Seems like they get paid to fail people. Examiner is taking off points unreasonable. I specifically told him I don't speak well and to talk slowly, he ignored that and talked fast instead. It's not that I don't understand English I just wanted him to speak slowly and not yell. Thought that he will give me a "lesson" after the exam to see if I'm stupid but he miserably failed. Avoid at all cost. read more

If I can only give a 0 star. They employed poorly trained snooty receptionist. See reviews below. They shout over the phone. Very unorganized. Called me and told me my daughter can't take the driving test as she have not completed the class. Notified them they have to check it again as she completed all her class. And screamed and sayid wait I I'm checking. Wherein she should have checked it before she calls me. And it happened 3 times and told them she is complete in all her classes. Left a message and asked for a call back from the manager or owner to report this bad experience but did not received a call back. Very poor service. read more

My daughter, who is a very conscientious straight "A" student who by all accounts, has been performing very well in her driving and passed her written with a 92%, just failed miserably on her driving test. Enpart was her driving instructor. He failed her on several sections of the test. Some reasons he gave for failing, were not taught in class and seemed wildly subjective. He has a reputation for being rude and berating his students so my daughter was very upset when she learned he was going to give her the driving test but she felt she performed well anyway. She was shocked when she saw her scores. When questioned about why she failed so many areas, he blamed it on the fact that she and a few other girls talked too much in class and that it was my failure as a parent to not address it. I would not recommend this school. Their job is to teach the kids to drive. If a conscientious student, who has put in all the hard work, fails numerous sections of the driving test, then they have failed and should take responsibility - not add significant charges to retake the test. read more

I took my drivers test here last Friday with an appointment at 9:30am. I was extremely nervous since I wasn't the most confident driver. My instructor was Rob and he was very nice and instructed me where to go. The test was mainly in less populated neighborhood which was great. I was happy that I passed even with a couple mistakes! I'd def recommend anyone who wishes to take the test without a wait. The DOL only does road test on Wednesday and it's always really busy. After the test I was told I could go online and receive my license or head to the DOL which we did. There magically was no one there which made the process very quick! read more

I just came from New Jersey state and my husband was trying to take a driving skill test today. The driver's instructor was very good person. I had a problem with the receptionist who has black hair. Her attitude was so terrible and made my day sucks. I recently came this state and I did not know the information about the road test in WA. So I was asked few questions and then her answer was ridiculous attitude towards me and my husband. Wow. Being a USA citizen, honestly I met this kind of person was my first time in my life. (Not in NJ and not in WA) I agree with at the bottom review, I DO NOT want to say it's "DISCRIMINATION" to asian. But I guess, its right way to say. In USA, there are plenty of immigrants out there but that attitude is not acceptable when you work as receptionist in USA. I used work the position of a receptionist, but She is not a good and professional receptionist. read more

They made it very easy to schedule and take both the knowledge and road test. The 1 star reviews aren't anywhere close to what I experienced. read more

Worst experience I ever had. Been here twice for scheduling and driving test. The receptionist with dark hair had the worst attitude. Trying to ask her a few questions and she got really mad. Maybe she is racist towards asians? Stay away from this place if you don't want any embarrassment. read more

We had a great experience with this driving school. The front office staff were very friendly & helpful with scheduling & class information. The instructor did a great job with teaching knowledge & during the drives. read more

Just took my driving test here this past Sunday (thankfully I passed!) I was worried because I get pretty bad test anxiety but the instructor was super nice and accommodating. Unfortunately I don't remember her name but she had curly-ish light brown hair in a ponytail I think? Also the front desk lady (Dani?) was really nice when checking me in. I'm pretty sure she was the same person I talked to on the phone to schedule my driving test after paying online - she was really patient with me when trying to find an available time slot, especially since weekends are usually pretty full. I was actually considering taking my driving test at a different place in Everett at first (bit closer for convenience + Hwy 99 scares me lol) but the car I was using had an issue with a warning light on the dashboard that I wasn't sure would make it ineligible to use. When I emailed the Everett place, I got a relatively unhelpful and vague answer that basically said "Don't know, depends on the instructor. Can't guarantee anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" ... so pretty much asking me to gamble with the time and money I'd potentially waste by showing up and having an instructor say my car can't be used :I Also, one would think that driving schools would have a set standard this kind of stuff instead of randomizing it based on the instructor's preferences. I emailed this place (Lynnwood 911) shortly after with the same question. And I quickly got a reply with a straightforward, definitive answer saying that yes, my car can be used even with the issue I described. No beating around the bush or asking me to take a gamble. Cool beans. So on test day, I checked in about 30 mins early and was called up for my test pretty much on the dot for the time I was scheduled for. I was worried I'd get some power-tripping jerk but, as mentioned earlier, my instructor was hella nice and helped me feel less nervous as the test started. She spoke clearly when giving directions for what maneuvers I should do and where I should go. After the test ended, she explained where I got points deducted and in turn what I should have done in those cases. Overall, the test was a pretty smooth experience. Hopefully I won't ever be in a situation where I have to test for my license again but uh... should that ever occur, I'll test at this location again :'D read more

Really bad, I took my knowledge test last September here, and I don't remember my confirmation number(I want to get permit), and I called them this morning ask them to find out my number, they said they cannot find out, the only way is go to licensing office. Bad management! If I took test here, they should have my record! read more
