We signed up two of our teenage drivers for the 30 hour course and they each took an additional six hours of driving lessons. I felt that the program did a great job of preparing them to pass their driving test. They passed it on the first drive. The best part about it is that drive smart actually is licensed and capable of giving the drivers test on behalf of DDS. read more

We had a great experience with Drive Smart Ga. We went to the Cumming location on Peachtree Parkway. We used 2 different instructors for the 6 hours of driving and both were great. Paula did my son's driving test and she was fantastic! I highly recommend drive smart for your kids. We had a wonderful experience. My son did the 30 hour course online. read more

We used Drive Smart(Cumming) for my son and we had a wonderful experience! After he completed his classwork & required hours, we purchased additional driving hours for extra practice and used them to complete his road test which he passed on the first attempt! If you're looking for a place to have your child learn how to drive, book with drive smart! The staff were also great and very friendly! We absolutely love Ms. Paula!! read more

Drivesmart has stepped up its game. Much easier to schedule appointments than it was a couple of years ago. Also, we were blessed to get Mr. Alonzo Thorton As the driving instructor. I cannot say enough good things about this gentleman. He's encouraging, incredibly observant, and really amazing at what he does. They are lucky to have him there. I know my son will be a better driver throughout his life because of Mr. Thornton, and also he's a genuine good apple as a person. Thank you! read more

Great facilities, caring instructors, excellent service...what more could a parent ask for?

I sent my son to this school and he came back with excellent reflex and driving habits. I recommend them as I see so many kids with lousy driving techniques read more

Ben was a great instructor and was very clear and thorough, preparing my child for safe driving and the road test. thank you!

We signed up for the online drivers ed (which took my daughter a full year to complete, but there's no rush and it worked great for our schedule) and six hours of driving lessons. My 16 year old was a decent driver, but needed to fine tune some of the more difficult things (like parking and highway driving). Drive Smart Johns Creek made that easy. The instructors were, for the most part, very patient and thoughtful (although one took her on the highway where she was pulled over by the police for not yielding -- we are viewing that as a learning experience). I would like to make a special recognition of instructor, Alonzo Thornton, who taught her how to stay calm and be confident behind the wheel. He is a calming, nurturing teacher. Five stars for Alonzo! Extra bonus: my daughter took her driving test at the school... which means she drove their car on the course she took lessons on -- everything was familiar, so that lowered her stress level. I strongly recommend Drive Smart for your teen! read more

Wonderful instructors who very patient and kind to my daughter. They gave her a lot of confidence!

Great service. My son took the class and driving test package and past his driving test and now licensed. I feel comfortable letting my son drive to school with his younger brother. He has learned good driving habits from Drivesmart. Drivesmart has excellent teachers and great lessons to instill to students read more

Drive Smart Georgia - Driving Schools Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I signed my son up for the 30 hour class, 7 hours of driving lessons and the road test, and it was worth every dollar. Dory provided quality instruction and feedback, and my son enjoyed his driving lessons with her. The ease and convenience of having his official road test through Drive Smart GA was a fantastic! I would definitely recommend Drive Smart GA. read more

Drive Smart is a great driving school. Both of my kids attended and received their drivers licenses via Drive Smart. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and professional. The instructors seem to work well with students while maintaining a safe atmosphere for students. Some may think it's a slam dunk that if you take the driving course you're assured to get your license, but let me say that the examiners are not swayed by such. They are impacted by the performance of each individual during the test. The examiners and instructors take their jobs and tasks very seriously, and train or instruct accordingly. As a parent it's important to have faith and trust in something as important as teaching a child to drive, so go with the best! read more

Drive Smart Georgia - New cars, new driver! - Driving Schools Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Great Service! Nice People! Best price in town when it comes to BTW packages.

I thought they prepared my daughter well for driving. Although they say the same thing as I did, she received it better. Plus, they are super calm. In addition, taking the test there made it so much less stress. Such an easy and successful experience. read more

Janelle at Drive Smart was extremely helpful and courteous with me. We were able to sign my daughter up for drivers Ed and driving lessons smoothly and quickly. read more

The driving classes were fine but scheduling the car based sessions are impossible. I hope that someone in management is reading this. I've tried for weeks to get a class and if you are not at a computer at exactly 4 pm on Tuesday you will not be able to get a session. I've even been put on cancellation list but in 3 weeks have only received one cancellation notice. Today I logged in at exactly 4:14 and all weekend sessions were already taken. Only sessions available are during school day. Please management do something to put more sessions In evening and on weekends. I am unable to use what we paid for months ago. Very frustrated and every parent I've talked to shares this frustration. I have spoken to people in office who seem very nice but it's not helping us get to scheduling lessons. I logged in to site today and was unable to get any lessons for week that had opened up on evenings and weekend. We saw one cancellation today for a lesson at 5:45 AM we grabbed it as that is only thing that has come open. Drive smart needs to stop advertising that they provide in car lessons if these are nearly impossible to schedule read more

Both my kids went through this program. For the majority of the driving sessions they both had James. He was fantastic! My daughter has anxiety and he put her at ease. She didn't feel rushed or pressured. He was the best part about the entire experience. The classroom instruction was also really good. The only issue we had was with the actual website and how it was difficult to schedule sessions. When we would get someone on the phone they were always helpful and it was easier for me to schedule with a human than on the computer read more

Had an awesome experience with Drive Smart, the McGinnis Ferry location. The driving coach was friendly and informative, scheduling and payment were seamless as it was all done online, and the driver's license paperwork Drive Smart provided me with made renewing my license very easy with DDS. I also received a discount on car insurance becuase I took a driving class with Drive Smart. I would definitely recommend them for teens getting their first license or adults renewing their license after a suspension. read more

I have been asking the owner and his office manager for my separation letter since 3/13/20. This is not a replicable or upstanding company. The students are pretty cool but Kirk and Dottie are unprofessional. I wouldn't even care to hear from these people ever again but I want my separation letter. Why won't they mail it? Or let me pick it up?? read more

It is nearly impossible to schedule driving lessons with this company. They email apologies for their staffing issues but after two months we have yet to be able to schedule a driving lesson online. They are selling a service they cannot provide. The owner, Kirk Bressette, taught one session of my son's in class instruction. He spent part of the time bragging about his sports cars, his "showroom" of cars, and how much money he has. read more

It seems we are having the same issue as many others. It is impossible to schedule driving lessons. What makes our situation worse is that my Johns Creek High school student has a chance of lessons with a Johns Creek High school teacher we are both not fond of. We are willing to drive out of our way to another location just to avoid this Johns Creek instructor but they also have no availability. We have been waitlisted at 2 locations and have no clue when he might be able to get in. Update- I just spoke to Johns creek who argued with me and had awful customer service skills. We agreed that the only place to take this Is BBB. It is disgusting that I have spent time and money on a place that offers no support and provides false advertising. My hopes that this would be resolved and my son would get the guidance and support I thought I paid for have been shattered. They just sent an email saying they will refund the money for the driving classes they do not give you. I could have gotten a package for less elsewhere so they basically con you offering a package of services and only provide you with half. Take the time to research and find a better school as I now have to do and wish I did before. Do not send your child here!!!! read more

The Johns creek location customer service was awful. It was bad enough we can't get any driving lesson. We had to stop what we are doing every Tuesday just to schedule a time that we paid for months ago. We only got one driving lesson the entire summer. Thank God for the Cumming location representative that helped us get one session. The Johns Creek location hardley answer their phone, or if they do they won't help. I have multiple kids and will never use Drive Smart Georgia again. FYI the cumming location customer service was amazing. If I had to do it all over again, I will definitely use the Cumming location. The driving instructor were all awesome as well. read more

Drive Smart was one of the WORST experiences I have had! The Customer service is terrible. While the classroom hours seemed to go ok (although there seemed to be A LOT of wasted time where kids were allowed to bring handheld video games and play) The in car driving lessons were very much just the basics. Two hours of driving around on local roads. No time on the highway and only about 15 minutes spent on parallel parking. Scheduling the lessons was next to impossible. Once they were scheduled, the instructors showed up at our house 15-30 minutes late. Had to schedule the driving test a full month after my son's eligibility date because of their lack of staff. On top of that, the tester automatically failed my son for him having to slightly apply a break even though my son says there was absolutely NO DANGER of them hitting anything. They have destroyed my son's confidence in driving even though I have spent 40 hours driving with him and know that while he's not perfect, he would have never failed to brake if a car was coming! BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY! WE HAVE SPENT $550 ON THIS SHAM AND 3 MONTHS LATER WE STILL DONT HAVE A LICENSE! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! Edited to respond to Drive Smart Comment: Let me be clear this is bad review is not solely based on my child not passing but rather the complete and total lack of organization. Two days before the test we were called and told that we must take our test at the Johns Creek location because "the State of GA had decided that DS could only give tests at the Johns Creek location. " Come to find out from our tester yesterday that we had to take the test in Johns creek because the Alpharetta location had not fold the right paperwork to stay eligible with the State to give tests. So we were forced to drive a long wats away from our house because of DS negligence. This is yet another example of their lack of organization that the customers are suffering for. read more

Class is great and driving lessons are also great if you can get them scheduled. Scheduling classes is ridiculously difficult and their are not very many times available outside of work and school hours. The process for scheduling the lessons is nearly impossible if you can't get to a computer or your phone around 4pm every Tuesday. I will not be recommending them to friends solely because of the difficulty in scheduling lessons, which I hate because both the instructors we had (1 class and 1 driving) have been great! read more

DriveSmart Georgia made it easy for me to avoid the nervousness I was feeling teaching my daughter how to drive. They were thorough in providing information to her and the course gave her the confidence she needed to drive. I highly recommend this company read more

Good school, some of the drivers need to focus more wit the students instead of their cell phones. The paperwork, test all easy to complete

All three of my children learned to drive here. Worth the investment for peace of mind and fewer arguments with your teen!

Great driving school! I was required by my parents to take some instructional driving courses before getting a car for my graduation so i did! I started off at gadrivingcoach and their customer service was awful! So we switched here hoping for some better luck & received more than better! My driving instructor was Angel, she was full of personality, the two hours in the car with her never got boring and i felt comfortable with her! She gave me a lot of pointers and helped me out with everything i needed! I recommend it to everyone! read more

Horrible Service and so not worth it ! Trying to schedule driving lessons and its almost impossible to do so as the times are limited and inconvenient. The only times available are during school hours. I am actually trying to get a refund because I'm not sure I will be able to get driving lessons from them. They say if if sign up for the driver's ed package those students will be given priority for classes so I did that thinking we would start the process sooner. My daughter sat in this class for 4 weekends days and honestly now feels like a waste of time since she can't apply what she has actually learned. Most useless $500 I've spent. read more

We have had two teenagers use Johns Creek Driving school and we have been very pleased. Great value for the money, professional, and instilled the importance of safe driving in our kids. The school took away the driving and testing jitters and they passed the driving test on the first attempt. More importantly, they learned safe driving skills. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely rude staff. The person teaching my daughter cursed her out for not being a good driver. Quite ironic because she was just beginning to learn. Unprofessional. We asked for the lessons to be cancelled and they did not give us a refund even though the situation was unprecedented. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Impossible to schedule your driving lessons. You have to log in at noon on Tuesday to get your time. I just tried at 12:03 and all the weekend slots are gone. Only during the week, in the middle of the day. My son has had one lesson (out of his 3) and the teacher (Ashley) was nice but the car was beat up and crappy. My daughter has to take her lessons soon and I will NOT be using these people nor could I ever recommend them to anyone. read more

We have now had a great experience with two of our children taking the course, doing 6 hours of driving lessons and taking their driving test with Drive Smart. read more

Awful. No others words describe this business other than just plain awful. You are supposed to use their online scheduling service to book lessons for your child. This online scheduling service - Drivescout - opens up no more than 8 lessons each week. I find it hard to believe that in a 7 day week for lessons - only 8 show up on drivescout to pick from. It is IMPOSSIBLE to schedule driving lessons. The business offers absolutely no help. When you call they.say the same thing over and over - your child is on our list - they will get a drivers lesson this month - we'll call you. I've called them twice now - heard this message twice......I've never heard from them at all once for this magical lesson to be scheduled and it's been a month since I've heard this. Please run away from this business! Do not book with them. While you'll be able to sign up for in class lessons - you will NEVER get drivers lessons scheduled. UPDATE: 2 weeks have gone by and still no help from DriveSmart on scheduling lessons despite calling, emailing and being on their "priority list". Please don't sign up your child with this company. Call around and get another company that can actually provide the services they advertise. read more

I would never recommend anyone to John's Creek Location. Customer service is absolutely horrible. Impossible to schedule a drive...literally took 5 mo this before we could get one. Always filled or it's during school hour. I'm sorry, do they expect us to take our kids out of school! Also, they can't even get our schedule right and wants to charge us. Never again will I use them for my other kids nor Recommend this location. I am more upset about cx service than scheduling. I don't think they care if they lose one cx or not since they seem to get many signing up with them. I guess their motto is Quantity over quality!!! read more

I would give a zero if I could. DO NOT waste your money or time with this place because they WILL fail you in order to get you to pay for more lessons. Over $600 later, my child failed the driving test twice only for them to try and sell even more lessons. The instructors are rude, impatient, and disrespectful. There are far more better driving schools who don't come after your money, but instead actually help your child. I ended up taking my child to the DMV where she passed with flying colors. Be careful and don't buy into this scam, you will be wasting your money for no results. read more

They are amazing!!! Loved Karlene the instructor!! She really gets teens. The entire drive smart is very accommodating. They really want to see your driver succeed. Thanks Drive smart. All 3 of my kids have turned out to o be safe drivers. read more

This school is incapable of scheduling your child's 6 hours of driving lessons. You can call and the lady is very rude. I had one nice lady help me once but other than that, no other classes have been scheduled. The one driver said he would schedule a lesson but hasn't contacted us either. Also, the lessons available are during school hours. So if you want your child to take the classes quickly, you have to allow them two hours out of school. Unreasonable and unprofessional service. Try another driving school because this one will take forever. read more

After paying over $400, we're finding it impossible to finish the course and take the test, because while the classroom lessons are fine, the actual driving lessons are IMPOSSIBLE to schedule. It's harder than winning a radio contest by being the 100th caller. By the time you can get on the website (which is overloaded) the one day and time per week you can schedule them, the lessons are all filled up. My daughter ends up in tears every Tuesday when she finally gets through and they're all filled up. I feel like we wasted our money and this will NEVER be over. Her friend used a different driving school and never once had a problem with her lessons. read more

We were very happy with the classroom course, behind the wheel time and driving test at Drive Smart Georgia Johns Creek. The instructor kept things interesting in the classroom. The driving time behind the wheel was great and all of the instructors (used 3 different ones) were very helpful and provided great feedback. We definitely feel it is worth the extra money to pay to have the license road test taken at Drive Smart, it makes the trip to the DMV a quick and easy process. read more
