Just had my last 1hr session with Mr Rossi yesterday - learnt how to change a flat tire, now how…read moremany driving schools over the DFW area do you know that teaches you how to change a flat? I came to learn about The Driving Institute, earlier in the year in January - I had a relatively bad experience with another Driving School, after 10hrs of road experience with that school... I was left with no confidence in any of my skills and I barely got any feedback. I booked myself in originally for 2hrs behind the wheel private lessons (which after I passed my driving test - I added in a further 2hrs later in the year to gain some confidence with Interstate and Highway driving), and I must say from the moment I contacted Miranda at The Driving Institute, I was greeted with nothing but friendliness and professionalism. I had my lessons with Mr Rossi [The 2hrs were split into 1hr sessions] and I have to say just after 2hrs, my confidence rose to further than what it was after 10hrs with my previous instructor. He fixed any issues I had within seconds with such simple techniques. He's a great teacher and he knows his stuff! It was well worth my drive from Richardson just for the lessons - I couldn't recommend anyone better to get you ready for these fast and furious Texas roads.

Janet was extremely professional, courteous and patient. She was extremely accommodating and…read moreworked with my schedule to get my son's driving test completed. The institute is firm but fair and my son is definitely a better driver.

She yells at learners with anxiety! And says things like "what is wrong with you?"…read more She answers her nanny calls during lessons and arrives late for pickups. I had to deal with all this until my last straw when she took payment for lessons she won't give at all!! Unbelievable horrible service !!! It's obvious she's forcing her clients to leave 5 star reviews.

I totally agree with Sophie, Olivia,and Susan. Brandon McDaniel is amazing, professional, and…read moreprompt with her calls and actions. She is one of the most customer-centric pros I have met. My siblings and I hired Pearl Rose Academy to evaluate my 91yo mother's driving. We had our concerns. Brandon understood and took mom on as a client. They spent 5 hours together and we ended up being reassured that all is safe for our mom, for now. Brandon called me after each lesson and gave me details about mom's skill set. Mom agreed for us to do this and she ended up loving Brandon. We will call Pearl Rose in a year or two or if we see a decline in mom's ability to be safe for herself and others on the road.As you can predict, taking away a parent's right to drive is a hard responsibility. We want mom to have the objective, professional input from Brandon so she can make her own decision when the time comes. We also have the info from Brandon to fairly and objectively determine if mom is safe on the road or not and then make the hard decision if mom decides to drive past her clear capacity to do so. Thanks, Brandon for being professional, compassionate, and smart about safe driving.

I do NOT recommend using this driving school. We paid in full upfront only for them to completely…read moreignore us when I needed to schedule my son's driving test. They ignored every text and voicemail I left for 2 weeks. Now my son's appt with the DPS that we waited 2 months for has to be rescheduled! The next appt is nearly 3 months out, so now my son will not get his license for another 3 months! One of their drivers has the kids stop for his personal errands, and gives zero instructions to the students! They do have one really good driving instructor, but requesting him is a flip of the coin. After ignoring my request for two weeks, they responded with their instructor retired with no notice. We are on our own! Had they told me immediately maybe I could have made alternative plans, but instead they ignored me for 2 weeks! They did not even apologize as you can see from the screens shots I provided. They were so very nice until they had my money! I thought for sure the negative reviews were just old... they are not! I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and leaving this review on every review site I can find to warn other parents. ALLIANCE DRIVING SCHOOL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS, ONLY ABOUT YOUR MONEY! Once they have it they lose ALL customers service and treat their customers horribly.

The instructors are HORRIBLE and so unprofessional to the kids. Mr. Ronn should never be employed…read moreANYWHERE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TEACH KIDS genuinely. He GROSSLY abuses his power and treats the students with the utmost disrespect. Even one star is too high.

I Highly DO NOT recommend this company they are very horrible to work with. Long story short we…read moresigned up on May 11th for the 14 hour course (7hours driving & 7 Hours observation). First I want to start off by warning you that it's almost impossible to schedule driving times as they have grossly oversold the program. It took over a week for them to even get us a log in after taking my $412. When I finally got a log in of course they are booked up for 2 weeks so our first lesson was not until 5/30 and that had to be scheduled on a "cancellation". I quickly realized they were horrible to deal with and asked for a refund which they would NOT honor. Honestly you need to set an alarm on Monday evenings at 8pm to log in to a session that is "more than 7 days from your last lesson". This is so they can scam more people by over selling the program. So for instance if you have a lesson at 9am Monday you cannot schedule your next session until after 9am the following week on Tuesday. (That's if you log in at 8pm Monday evening to schedule as they ONLY release the following week on Monday immediately forcing you to be a week behind scheudling once you sign up. Don't forget the Monday evening as by all the slots are will be booked by Tuesday morning! If you are out of luck and had a conflict Monday evening you are forced to wait on a cancellation list to get a slot. Now lets discuss our first lesson. Well guess what the other student driver no showed which inconvenience due because we planned for a 2 hour lesson that was only one hour of driving and we had to then reschedule another time to do a 1 hour observation because he couldn't just sit and watch the instructor drive around? Why were we inconvenienced for someone else not showing up? They kept referencing some instruction email that was NEVER sent to us. After all the hassle we finally got the 14 hours completed and then had to drive to Roanoke (we live in Colleyville and signed up in Grapevine) to sign a drivers education certificate in person? Not sure why It couldn't be compelled via docusign considering they electronically signed the document. Why are they forcing a client who signed up in Grapevine to drive to Roanoke for a wet signature? Upon arriving I only received more poor customer service when the woman didn't like the way our Aceable drivers ed completed certificate was printed. Claiming "the instruction was again in my email" and the "log needs to be transferred to them" Long story, but again I DO NOT recommend this company until they improve customer service and stop over selling the program. Anyone should be able to schedule a service after paying without jumping through hoops.
