Seeing quite a few contributions complaining about Tom, I couldn't help contributing my own…read moreexperience to correct the record! This past Sunday, my son had the pleasure of being road-tested by the very Tom Kaleta at the Lamphere High School testing site of Courtesy in Madison Heights, just next to Costco. After seeing my son being arbitrarily failed twice at another road-testing company in recent months (see more details here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/same-day-road-test-detroit), we are hesitant to come to do the road test at Courtesy, especially having read some of the not so pleasant feedback from some posters here. However, our experience with Tom has been nothing but joyful! Tom arrived right on time (10 minutes before the scheduled test) to set up the cones even though it was quite early in the morning. Tom is gentle, kind and easily approachable. He even tries to make small talk with my son to ease my son's nervousness. My son had a great time with both the parking and road tests. Unlike road testers elsewhere (again see above link for very bad experiences elsewhere), Tom never tries to trick you into failing. He wants to make sure that my son drives cautiously and safely. This is exactly what new drivers need. We are truly grateful to Tom's help that day. Thank you, Tom and Courtesy! Another benefit of taking the test at Lamphere High School for me personally is that when I waited for them to return from the road test, I got to walk around the nice trail in the city park right next, enjoying the morning fresh air with all the other people working out there on a Sunday!

Find somewhere else to sign up your child for the road test. I scheduled a road test in Lake Orion…read morethey called me while on vacation to cancel his road test saying they won't offer in Lake Orion anymore. They gave me a few different cities all which are far and not knowing I picked Bloomfield hills, upon searching it was 45minutes - 1 hour away. When I told them I want to cancel they said no refunds, ok we'll schedule me somewhere closer, they said they don't have anything in Rochester Hills or Romeo and won't know probably till mid September if there will be instructors. So it was their fault for canceling the Lake Orion location but you don't get your money back. I think they have all these locations but no instructors and you won't get your money back even if they cancel.

Just awful, should really do a background check on who they hire!

There's obviously a reason they only deal in cash.

I'm proud to say that he recently finished his driving classes with Brian, and passed his test. Brian was very encouraging and helpful.

I will definitely be taking my daughter there next year, once she is ready to learn to drive too. Excellent business!

This is the first review I have ever written; however, I feel compelled to do so because my…read moreexperience at Pat's Sew Right has left me dumbfounded. The owner may possibly be a skilled seamstress, but I will never support her business and I plan to spread the word. Go somewhere else to avoid her total lack of common sense lest you ask the wrong question and experience her fury. So sorry I ever ventured into her store. I had two lined winter blazers that I've never worn b/c they were too long, so I wanted to price the work and determine if it was worth the cost to have them hemmed. I left the jackets and decided to call a couple other places for cost comparison, and I did call Pat to ask if she could come down a bit in the price. She said no and that hers was a fair price. That was okay because I totally agree with paying small business a fair wage and do not have a problem giving workers what they're worth. Just because I asked the question and kindly attempted to negotiate a bit with her, she rudely told me that she will not complete the work even though I kept trying to tell her to just go ahead with the price quoted (she wouldn't listen) and then she just abruptly hung up. She was so outraged and insulted that I would even pose the question that she didn't take a breath to realize that I was trying to say the price is okay and to go ahead with the alterations. Before arriving at the store to pick up my clothing, I decided to be gracious and forget about our previous phone call and forgive her poor behavior, but she decided to be rude again and tell me that I had the audacity to call her and ask her to negotiate the price. She obviously doesn't understand that it's okay to ask for a better price. It's her prerogative to say no thank you and let the customer decide if that's reasonable. I did not pressure her in any way, but her behavior showed her lack of professionalism and human decency to a customer. She's a rude and disrespectful person. Please do not support a business who treats others this way.
