Their structure and fees are deliberately predatory. Everything about their scheduling and planning…read moreis designed to push you into scenarios that result in paying penalties. They don't have enough slots for behind-the-wheel time to fit all their students so you have to wait on a call list. Their business hours are short so you can't reach someone when you try, then they charge you for not calling on time. Their customer service is rude and seems to revel in telling you it was your own stupid fault. When I ask my student daily what was covered in class, I hear "cop stories" again and again. I intentionally selected the priciest option in the city thinking it would be reflected in quality. What a waste.

Love that this is taught by first responders. The instructor my child had was a no nonsense guy. He…read moreexpected kids to follow the rules or get out of the class, bravo! But he was also fun and funny. I think his name was Ed. If you enroll, be sure you can make it to the classes and the drives. The state says you can only be absent a maximum of 3 times or you have to start over. Also, if you can't make a scheduled drive, you have to cancel at least 24 hours before, excluding non business days. If you don't, you have to pay $60 for the no-show. And, if you need to schedule a different drive after the initial round of scheduling, you might end up still doing the drives after the classroom course has completed. My kid can drive very well by the end of the 5 or 6 week course, and she's fully prepared to take her knowledge and skills test, even though she's not yet 15.5 years old! And I don't even feel like I've taken her out driving all that much - not the 2 hours a week that the school wanted. We will have months to get in our 50 hours for the state, and I know we'll surpass that. I'm very happy that we chose this school for drivers ed.

DO NOT take your skills test here. I took my first two tests at 911 Driving School on the north…read moreside, which was stressful because of the instructors and roads, so I decided to try B&B because I heard the guy was nice, the roads are easier, and the person who taught me to drive said it's a good place. The roads being easier is true, but the instructor being nicer is flat-out wrong. I took my first test here on April 2nd 2026 and i failed since i went 7 over which is a rule to an automatic fail I get that and he was nice about it the first day but I went back the next day on April 3 2026 because I knew all my skills I just went a little fast so I fail again and he was nice about explaining what I did wrong then before we both got out of the car he said "you're just wasting money" which is a messed up thing to say! You don't know what somebody is going through, and my mom is a single mom, and she doesn't care about spending money to get my license, but we don't have a lot of extra money since she's raising two boys by herself. So I kept my calm until I got back in the car, then I cried to my driving teacher. So DO NOT take it here, he is not nice and considerate. Also, on the second day, I failed, and I almost hit a car. I looked left, straight, right, left, straight at a stop sign so there were no cars so I went then a car came up a hill going 35-40 way over the 25 speed limit and almost hit him so i automatically failed which I get but going out of the school I was at a red stop light waiting to go right so I waited till i thought it was safe but he rushed me saying "you can turn now" well excuse me for trying to make sure we don't get hit! And I'm pretty sure he's the only guy you can test with, so I'm currently looking for other schools in the valley to test with!

DO NOT take your skills test here. I got the same instructor both times and was failed both times…read more The first fail made sense because my front wheel had went up the curb. As for the second? The same instructor, an old man who never introduced himself to me, made offhanded and rude comments about my driving the entire time. At one point I was waiting at a stop sign for traffic to be clear before I turned, looking both ways multiple times. Not even 15 seconds of waiting before he says "We can wait here all day if you want." I respond with "Excuse me?" as he says "You're waiting too long. If someone was behind you they would've been honking by now." I pause, then respond "I'm just waiting for traffic to be safe. I don't want to cut anyone off." He sighs, rolls his eyes and proceeds to mark me down. Other instances include unsafe actions. He tried having me back around the curb--a curb that lead right into a busy street. I was lucky that no passing traffic hit my car on that maneuver. As for parallel parking, he tried having me do that in a one lane street--which was right up by a stoplight. The entire thing felt off to me and I felt unsafe, especially since a truck was coming up behind me. I had used my right turn signal as I lined up with the parked car next to me. I tried waiting for the truck behind me to drive around me (what you're supposed to do), and that's when the instructor chimed in yet again with "what are you *doing?*" I explain to him why I'm waiting, and he says "No. No, don't worry about him. You have the right to park." The truck had to have thought that I was simply turning right at the light, thanks to the way I was set up for this maneuver. As I began to back up, the truck driver gives me an angry look and starts backing up to properly give me room. By then I was breaking down from that moment as well as the instructor's previous comments. I knew I was in no condition to drive like that. I'm crying right in front of the instructor and stop the maneuver to instead drive back to the school to end the test. He seems flabbergasted over the fact, and once again, exclaims "what are you doing?" So I respond, "I'm im no condition to drive while I'm breaking down like this, I'm sorry. I'm just going to drive back to the school." He gets snippy yet again and clearly doesn't care about my wellbeing at that time. The 2nd time, I got a 79, which was the nail in the coffin for me. I instead tested somewhere else in the valley today and had a much better experience. Finally passed with an 86, and the instructor only ever talked to give me directions and to review my results once the test was over. I felt respected and felt that I was tested fairly, let alone this instructor didn't put me in dangerous situations like the one at B&B did. TLDR; please do NOT test at B&B on Sullivan... Unless you want a rude instructor who makes comments and doesn't care about basic traffic safety.
